[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zok-star:
I've had no problems with Rom Manager. which clockwork did you install? the beta or stable one? Cause i know when i was doing mine it asked me.

I did the following steps

1. Root

2. Installed Rom Manager and backed up

3. Downloaded Rom of my choice

4. Full wipe and installed rom (via rom manager)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The OP just didn't root, of course.

If the education curve isn't worth it - just uninstall the application. Because you didn't install anything besides the application - because you have no root privileges - because you didn't root. And since you state that you don't want to learn - then why did you start messing with it in the first place?

The only thing that I don't like about ROM Manager is that it creates a lot of people like the OP - starting to mess with something without any wish for understanding, how it works, screwing things up (or not), and start complaining. You did what you did, you didn't bother learning, so why exactly are you complaining?!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Well I will ignore Jack_r1 who is a troll.

"All boards have them ..... sigh"

For the people that were much more friendly and helpful,

Ok next time I try it I will do a full wipe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Full wipe won't help you. Installing a root-only program without rooting the phone and expecting it to work wouldn't care if you wipe or not.

Guess you really have no clue...

Read my signature.

Calling me a troll won't help you either, and won't make you less infant. Especially for anyone who did bother reading my sig and my posts.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
I thought OP said he has root.

To OP: Open the app drawer, do you have the superuser app?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I didn't bother reading his next post, where he said he had root. My mistake.

I believe he had the recovery installed initially (otherwise he wouldn't see it backing up), but the first reboot to stock ROM removed it. After that, he wasn't able to do anything, being booted to stock Android recovery. And came here to complain. I guess a difference between running a program and rebooting from different partition aren't common sense to understand? Should be a prerequisite list before rooting.

The correct way would be, of course, to reflash the recovery through ROM manager again, but for people who don't understand the concept of dual-booting and think they run an application - that's not obvious (and it's one of the reasons I think ROM Manager is bad, and manual installation is good). And the better way would be to read the guides and flash the recovery manually. And while going any of those ways, whining on internet boards instead of asking questions would be the most unwelcome way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
I use ROM Manager because I'm a lazy bastard and it has worked flawlessly for me. I have literally flashed over 50 ROMs (mostly CM nightlies) and it has yet to fail me.

But people that have no clue what they're doing shouldn't be using a program like this and I'm pretty sure it comes with a disclaimer of sorts? Although I've barely flashed anything manually I did read up on the processes before going the custom ROMs route, it just seemed obvious.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Me too - lazy bastard, that is...

However, there was an issue with one of the ROM Manager updates a while back, where backups wouldn't restore. That's when a bit of manual knowledge came in handy...

[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
On balance, my new Epic wins hands-down. I love the device, Android, Linux, and it seems to be a far better gaming platform (a bonus -- not what I bought it for, but I'm having a blast with the portfolio of Gameloft 3D FP games -- amazing!)

However, I am lost on a few things. So, here's a thread to get some help. To start, some video questions:

If there's a media player to handle one's video library, I can't find it. The only way I've found to open and watch local video is to find the file with My Files, and open it there. This brings up the native video player, which is rather limited in features.

Once the video player is up, I can't figure out how to get back to it if I task-switch to something else for a moment. Can easily happen with a phonecall, for example. Sometimes the window "stack" facilitates using the back button to get back to it, but under more circumstances than not, you can't.

This is a real PITA, because I lose my place in the video. I have to re-open it, and seek around to find where I was. Am I missing something here?

I was a major CorePlayer fan on the OmniaII. It had it's own problems (lack of graphics acceleration support, the biggest), but those warts were far outbalanced by the rich featureset. I plan to get CP for my Epic when (if ever) it becomes available, but for now I'd like to get something similar if it's already out there. Any recommendations?

I've read a lot about the "lag fix". Do I need to do that? I've got a very new Epic, running DI18 (a week and a half old).

I fell asleep on my Epic, and now it seems to me the slider rails are "loose". I can skew the screen portion of the phone clockwise and CCW, back and forth, when opening, to as much as +/- 5-10deg. I paid no attention to this earlier, so it may be no different. The slide seems otherwise solid and fine, but for this. Are your Epic's similar?

Sprint bloatware: Is there an easy way to disable much of this (services, etc.)? For example, Amazon MP3, Sprint Nascar, and a dozen or so other services/apps that are started at boot and respawned if killed. I won't ever be using this junk, so I'd rather they not be consuming resources, slowing things down. Do I have to root the phone and manually edit Linux startup files to get rid of this junk?

Thanks for helping out this noob!
[Epic 4G General] DotMpeg:
Was omnia2 android?

Out the box Epic plays more file types than other non Galaxy S phones. On the market "Rock Player" plays all file types, followed by an xda dev's app "vplayer" I think it is. Other choices inlclude Act 1 Video Player and Meridian.

Instead of "My Files" to browse files to use with default player and other function try one of Astro File Manager(my primary), IO file manager, Androzip and more.

Most problem you may have can be solved in the "Market"

[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Omnia II! I really wanted this phone when it first came out. Omnia II runs Windows Mobile.

+1 on rockplayer

No lag fix needed on the Epic, there are lots of threads on this.

Not sure how to fix your slept on epic part, you'll have to read up on that.

As far as bloatware, you can follow this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780333

Be Careful, if you want to use sprint updates you have to leave certain apps like sprint hotspot, Amazon mp3, etc or else you'll get a validation error when doing updates.

This has become such a pain for me I just leave those apps on the device. There are devs, who have great workarounds too you just have to read up on it.

I need help installing a custom recovery. I believe my stock recovery is corrupt or somehow deleted. I have tried looking in multiple forums, but they had no help but using adb or fresh kitchen. Neither of those work, Fresh Kitchen comes up with an error and adb shows this

well first off i would post this in the right section. Seeing as you actually made the CHECK to say this thread is a question shows you knew it was a question. Look at the sticky that at the toop of this page. POST QUESTIONS IN THERE RIGHT SECTION...Q&A!

my suggestion would to try and do unrevoked or the 1 click apk for hero(or universal androot). those should install a recovery for ya.

i have attached 2 of them but you can go to unrevoked.com and do it there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
My personal favourite way to do it is using the one click root, then flashing a recovery with rom manager (clockwork)

Hey everyone,

I'm probably going to get so much abuse for this but .......

I'm looking at going onto the new HTC Desire HD and giving my girlfriend my HTC HD2 even tho I'm all about ROM flashing and I've been trying the android out Im thinking I should go to a Android native mobile, So the question is .... What will be the best stock rom to put on the HTC HD2 for her to use its the Singapore model.

Should I use a custom stock rom or maybe the new HTC HD2 europe rom thats been released

Please help Im a bit lost

Thanks
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
For the moment stay on previous version (1.48 ore 1.66 Singapore rom) Don't use fore the moment the EU 3.14 Rom.

From the moment HTC released a Singapore 3.14 rom and there will be a HSPL version who is compatible with SPL 3.03 you can used the new one.

But fore the moment take the older one! :cool:
[Desire General] kekkle:
Since the device and the ROM are out. Shouldn't we be getting some hot APK's heading our way? :D
[Desire General] EddyOS:
There aren't any really...not on the stock ROM
[Desire General] Lucas0511:
Even the DLNA remote app "Conntected Devices" is a disappointment, Twonky (free server) and Remote Media (server and client) apps provide this much better. HTC Locations ("powered by Route66") online navigation is not replacing Gmaps either.

One can assume that if there were any interesting apps they would have made it to the Desire already :-)
[Desire General] m16:
I would like HTC Locations on my Desire.
[Desire General] kekkle:
So it packs the exact same stuff as on our Desire...? Couldn't we like atleast get the improved media player with equalizers?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
all the sence .apk's media player, wigets, camera ect arnt compatible with our version of sence anyway.....
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
All the new apps can be used on a Desire HD Rom port.

They are all HTC apps so require sensev2 frameworks to run anyway.
[Desire General] kekkle:
Damn... Too bad..
[Desire General] Kermode:
Twonky works for you? It keeps crashing on open when I try it.
[Desire General] Lucas0511:
Yes, Twonky works perfect for me on RCMixHD 0.7a SenseHD ROM. BTW with the next update of HTC Locations Tomtom will take over online map display, with routing (turn-by-turn navigation) offered as a premium feature, for Europe and Asia only. I guess the TT Android navigation app announced over a year ago will not materialise then.
[Desire General] leighaus:
i was holding out for TT for a good couple of months, then i got fed up and thought id try sygic... asides from being *slightly* less "im driving make it simple", i think overall its a better navigator.

only the ETAs are a bit retarded on sygic, TT always was pretty damn close. sygic doesnt allow for traffic or lights i dont think.

I would like Htc likes and HTC HUBS apk ported to us.

[Android Apps and Games] Ideedeequeuedee:
Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with SwitchPro. Whenever "Mobile Network" is de-selected in the settings menu, toggling 3g with switchpro doesnt work at all. If i enable it, i can toggle 3g with switchpro and i will gain/lose a 3g signal. But the "Mobile Network" option stays toggled at all times.

I'm afraid that the mobile network will keep on trying to gain a signal (and thus use battery), but that switchpro simply blocks this. Which basically means i might aswell leave 3g on at all times.

Here's a picture to clear it up a bit.

Advanced users only!

I get soo many PM's asking how to do this, even tho I have never done anything like this before, so, here it is;

Grab baksmali/smali

Grab a deodexed version of android.policy.jar, or do it yourself.

Open the jar file with a zip program and extract classes.dex (7zip)

Decompile classes.dex

java -jar baksmali1.2.4.jar -o classout/ classes.dex

Navigate to \classout\com\android\internal\policy\impl

Make a copy of GlobalActions$4.smali in the same directory

Name it GlobalActions$8.smali

Open GlobalActions$8.smali in a decent text editor (Notepad++)

Find and replace all instances of GlobalActions$4 with GlobalActions$8

Replace the onPress method with this one:

.method public onPress()V
.registers 3

const-string v0, "Reboot Now"

invoke-static {v0}, Landroid/os/Power;->reboot(Ljava/lang/String;)V

return-void
.end method

save and close

Open GlobalActions.smali

In the createDialog method we need to increase the array length by 1

Find: (line 430)

const/4 v9, 0x4

Change to:

const/4 v9, 0x5

next we add the new menu item

Add before "const/4 v1, 0x3" on line 508

const/4 v1, 0x4 # position in the menu array

new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$8;

const v3, 0x1080030 # power icon

const v4, 0x010402d7 # reboot string

invoke-direct {v2, p0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$8;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V

aput-object v2, v0, v1

save and close

Compile a new classes.dex

java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex

Open the jar file with a zip program and add the new classes.dex overwritting the old one (7zip)

Push it back to your phone and reboot!

All done!

[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
That worked, thanks DG! It would be pretty cool if we could further the conditions of the reboot, as in selecting normal, download or recovery. It would probably certainly make flashing a ton easier for people as ROM Manager wouldn't necessarily be required with a 2e recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
It might be possible, but it's also pretty easy to just go into android terminal and 'reboot download' or 'reboot recovery'.

Once we get a final version of Froyo released, along with source, it will be a hell of a lot easier to do any of these types of mods, because we should have the source. That way we don't have to result to modifying IL.
