i don't think you can with soft root, you can dl titanium backup and save all your apps and settings on your sd card, but that won't backup your entire rom. i would just do a full root, im not that clumsy enough to kill my phone :p

you can also use the ruu to go back to your stock rom, but use the right one in case you lose root
[Wildfire General] leetvtr:
I'm looking for a way of backing up my Vodafone Rom so when I install a sim free one I can restore all settings if I ever need to send if off for warranty, it won't void it.

Anything I can do???
[Wildfire General] flipmode_11:
This doesn't make sense.

You can't ROOT a device, surely, without flashing the ROM?

So... ROOTING the device, by flashing the ROM, and THEN you want to backup the entire device? This sounds useless, as as soon as you ROOT the device, you've overwritten the original ROM! So how can you backup the Original ROM if you've overwritten it?

Which came first? The Chicken (ROM) or the Egg (Root)?
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
I didn't flash a ROM to get a root. I used Universal androot which does soft root on wildfire as well. Soft root means just getting root without modifying the system files permanently (ie. Changes disappear at reboot). Secondly, full root like unrevoked only write-unlocks the phone and flashes custom recover y. What I want is to have full backup of the phone WITHOUT the custom recovery so that when I flash it, it is the actual stock ROM. I know this is quite hard to do but I'm sure it is doable one way or another.
[Wildfire General] realxception:
Can someone please link me to a thread on step by step Rooting

and backing up my entire device

its my first android phone and took me a long time to install apps n games n contacts a backup would help me a lot.

kindly help thank u
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
if you did a search of the forum or looked around the wildfire threads you'd easily find it... anyway here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788776

to backup your rom you need to do a nandroid backup, to backup apps and data dl titanium backup
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
I know about nandroid. Don't you have to flash a custom recovery to use it? If so, then the original aim of preserving the ROM completely the way it is becomes broken, right?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Nandroid backs up your original rom, there is no other way to back up without root... unless you use a ruu to return to stock
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
Aren't RUUs a bit risky to use?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Yes if you use the wrong one. But rooting and flashing a custom rom is not :), very simple and not hard

Wildfire is also my first android phone but I easily learnt by reading and searching around the forum.
[Droid 2 General] hankeezy:
First off - I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to put this in.

I want to make a ROM. I don't want to make any software tweaks, purely asthetic. How would I do this?

Again, if this is the wrong forum, I'm sorry.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ms79723:
does anyone know what the keyboard files are for this phone? What is the name of the .apk and associated lib files?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Alex530:
I think its latinime or something.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ms79723:
What's AxT9IME.apk then? That file is confusing me right there, it's the reason why I didn't push LatinIME because I thought Latin was for Sense or something.

LatinIME was the AOSP keyboard >.<
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Alex530:
I think that's the samsung keyboard.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xGary:
For people who use the Zedge app, does anyone know how to import your own wallpapers and view it in the Zedge gallery? Theres no option in Zedge but there must be a way to make it work by editing stuff on the phone/sd card. I currently overwrite images in the sdcard/zedge/wallpapers folder but the name and thumbnail doesn't change. The reason I have to do this is because I found that changing wallpapers via Astro causes some loss in quality compared to Zedge...

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Just make your own on the PC, it's simple enough.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xGary:
The problem is when I set a wallpaper using Astro the quality is pretty bad. Ive done side by side comparisons with Astro vs Zedge and found that setting the same wallpaper via Zedge gives better quality. IDK why...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Frappe_:
I can't figure out how to post wallpapers still! It would be easier if you just put a post button on Zedge! I mean I love the app but still... My username on there is _Frappes_
[Nexus One General] tenbeau:
I have just tried for the second time to activate and use a sim card that comes with the G2 and it will not work with the Nexus One. The gold contacts are of a different size and shape.
[Nexus One General] pershoot:
make sure you are putting it in properly. it is the same card size. the way the n1 recieves the card is different the the g2.

i have had no issues with switching back/forth from g2/n1.
[Nexus One General] daijizai:
Last I heard SIM cards adhere to ISO 7816. ISO 7816-2 specifies the location and sze of contact plates. The SIM cards should be interchangable.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Sim cards are a universal standard. As long as it's not one of those micro sims, it will work in the N1.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Indeed, you might find that the contacts can look a little different between SIMs, but they will all work on anything.
[Vibrant General] Sincitybronze:
Is it safe to remove the dmservice apk if I don't plan to do OTAs? Does this app do anything else besides check for updates (if that's truly the purpose of this app)?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Do you really want to risk it? Why do people have a compulsion to start erasing stuff off their phones? Are you running out of space? Does the presence of unused programs just bug you?
[Vibrant General] deez1234:
Maybe he is trying to save some RAM or something?? Who knows...but I would check if it interferes with any important system apps/processes first. If he has no need for the OTA updates then I don't see the issue. Maybe a more informed person can help this person out.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Has anyone ever run out of RAM using a Vibrant? I've never dropped below 60mb free. From talking to G1 owners, this is pretty amazing.
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
I am curious for an answer too, I am rooted and running the JI6 that I flashed from here. Today my phone now displays "Connecting to DM server.......". It has been like this for several hours now. I can't seem to make the process not come back. t continues to autostart. Any ideas anyone????
[Vibrant General] deez1234:
I agree that it is very hard to run out of RAM, I was just stating that because maybe the OP just wants to free up whatever he can. It's not gonna hurt anyone if the OP does it...or maybe it will, judging from some of the responses. All i wanted to do was help this person get their question answered. Harmless if you ask me! This is in no way a personal attack by the way, lol. It's quite hard for me to sense sarcasm through text...unless IT'S IN ALL CAPS. :-)
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
I don't see any reason for it to hurt anything. I am running a backup now so that I can remove it and see what happens. I will update once it has been removed with a status.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Yeah, I just generally go by two rules of thumb: (1) If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and (2) If you don't know what it does, don't mess with it. There are plenty of services that run but are not obvious as to their purpose. I just wouldn't mess with it unless you feel like it's detrimental to your phone.
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
Typically I wouldn't, but this seems to be causing some battery drain. I will experiment, if anything goes wrong I can always restore my backup.
[Vibrant General] deez1234:
That's completely understandable. I agree once again. I think the OP may just be looking at the running process and thinks removing it and any future update will be beneficial. I am not quite sure of the motive but some people look at things differently. Maybe the OP will chime in with some of the reasons other than just disabling updates. That is yet to be seen, so until he posts unfortunately we won't know. :(
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
Ok, so here is the process I went through.

Went to Settings>Applications>Running Services>

Saw this:

DMService

com.wssyncmldm

***** RUN A BACKUP BEFORE RUNNING THESE COMMANDS! I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone blah blah blah.....*******

Connected to the phone via adb

Ran the following commands:

su

# busybox mount -o remount -rw /dev/block/stl9

# rm wssyncmldm.apk

# rm wssyncmldm.odex

# rm wssyncmlnps.apk

# rm wssyncmlnps.odex

DM immediately stopped.

Rebooted the phone with no issues.

Will continue to monitor for issues.

So far so good.
[Vibrant General] deez1234:
Let us know how it affects your battery life or if it does anything nice for you at all. Thanks for being the guinea pig! Seems as if you did it more properly than I would have, lol. :cool:
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
No worries, I wouldn't think it would hurt anything to remove it. But, I have been known to be wrong before. Anyway, it should make quite a difference on the battery, my phone had been trying to connect to the DM Server for several hours and I was seeing a consistent drain. About 10% per hour. Now it seems to have settled a bit. With normal usage I haven't seen any FC's. WI-FI, BT and GPS are all working. It doesn't seem to have affected anything yet. Yeehaw...
[Vibrant General] Sincitybronze:
Yes, battery life is the reason I'm interested in this. I removed the media hub and drm and experienced improved battery life. I thought eliminating dmservice might have a similar effect.
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
So far it seems to have made a difference. But the only time it was causing drain was wen it was trying to connect to the DM Server. I haven't yet seen it start back up, it appears as though it is completely gone. :-)
[Vibrant General] deez1234:
Nice, hopefully this helps some people who are interested and are having issues with the service.
[Vibrant General] Sincitybronze:
Thank you so much for testing this. I uninstalled with titanium.
[Vibrant General] j56bp:
Titanium pro & freeze it

Vibrant + xda app
[Vibrant General] Sincitybronze:
Aks: is there an app you use to see which processes are actively trying to connect to a server? How can I get information like this? Thank you.
[Vibrant General] mpmilestogo:
Using Titanium backup, I froze the DMservice and a few other DRM services and the media hub. I'm running bionic fusion if that matters. I have not noticed any adverse reactions and battery life does seem a bit better. I have not seen the error trying to connect to the dm service since doing this. If you just use the task manager, the service will start back up again after some period of time. Other threads about battery life have stated that these services are known to drain the battery. Freezing seems a good inbetween step to see how things go.

Edit Update.

So my extremely subjective interpretation of battery life is that its better and by simply freezing the services, they don't return. Maybe they do upon reboot; not sure. Before freezing the services, my phone would lose approximately 4% of battery within 1.5 hours of unplugging from power. Not the case this time. I have been unplugged for almost 2 hours and have lost negligible amount. I also turned off a bunch of update/notification services from seesmic, facebook, gtasks, etc.
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
On the phone go to Settings>Applications>Running Services>

This is what I used to find out the name of the app/service that was trying to connect.

Since removing the apps listed above, I have not seen any negative side affects.

Everything is running along quite smoothly.
[Vibrant General] Sincitybronze:
I see the processes listed in running services but I don't see anything in there about whether a service is trying to connect to a server.
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
That was all that I used. Once I saw the notification show up at the top by the clock, I used the above steps to identify the app and then removed the app. I don't yet know how to identify which service/app is trying to connect to a server. :(

Maybe one of the more experienced individuals on here may be able to offer some guidance.
[Desire General] murgy91:
Hey everyone.

I'm after a new Rom but unsure which to use. I really want the navigation app and HTC sync.. can any one advise me of a stable Rom for HTC desire? I'm using 2.2 on three network :)

Thanks!
[Desire General] viva.fidel:
You could get Google Maps navigation on any ROM..

The most popular HTC Sense-based ROMs are LeeDroiD and AuraxTSense, they're pretty much the same, have a look at both threads and pick your favourite..

Mind you, you'll lose the Skype/MSN apps that get shipped on Three phones, should be able to find them on the net after and re-install
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Skypes now available on the market :)

[Desire General] st0kes:
I would try LeeDroid or VillianRom, both are good stable Sense roms.
[Desire General] SammyBoyWonder:
I think what the OP is asking is the new navigation found in the sense hd roms and a sync app that can sync to www.htcsense.com/

But I could be wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richthofen:
When using Multi CSCs the variant / product code will be set to a default value, which usually is "KOR" (Test).

Even when using the correct CSC the phone will not use correct settings (e.g APN) for your region until you set the correct variant / product code manually from Preconfiguration menu.

Previously Samsung used code *#272*HHMM# (HH being hour and MM minute, = current time) to access the Preconfiguration menu.

The access code was then changed and all firmwares dated to september (or newer) were using it. Since the new access code was unknown, the only way to chance the variant / product code was launching the Preconfiguration manually via ADB.

I finally found some time to take a look at it and now I managed to find the new access code:

You need to have your IMEI code in hand, so either take the sales package or type *#06# to the dialer (to check the IMEI, write it down).

Then type *#272*

???????????????

# to the dialer.

??????????????? is your IMEI code, it is always 15 digits long.

Select the desired variant / product code from the list and press install.

After the reboot you are all set.

THIS IS NOT REQUIRED WHEN USING A SINGLE CSC (I.E SINGLE VARIANT, E.G XEE).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airwave:
That's very interesting!

I just flashed to the JPM Froyo and lost all my operator parameters...

Is there a way to see what's my current CSC version and is there a risk to reflash ONLY the CSC part with a CSC_I9000OXXJM1? Will it break everything?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richthofen:
Eclair CSCs are not compatible with Froyo.

Type *#1234# to see the CSC version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duongla:
Thanks, the new code works on JPM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gleff1:
Just a quick question.. when I try and do this, I only get a list of about 5 choices.. none of which are my CSC here in Australia. Is there an easy way to add a product code to the list? eg. is it just a matter of adding a code to an XML file or something?

BTW.. I'm running JPM

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miro666:

- I face similar issue, GT-I9000

- Old firmware: DXJG4; P.Code:HKA XME; Rooted; LagFixed; Quadrant:2100

- Bricked. I managed to get download mode, flash JM9 with Odin, reboot, factory reset. :p

- The phone seems to be working fine cept at recovery mode it said multicsc can not acces to /system/csc/xme/system" and after a couple of reboots, it says "multicsc can not acces to /system/csc/ /system

- Open dialer and typed: *2767*4387264636# and found PCode:GT-I9000HKAXME; Checked firmware:XWJM9; cannot root; No LagFix; Quadrant:814

- I used

CSC_I9000OLBJG4

- Asian Multi-CSC (Unbranded, PCODE(s) CCM, DGI, GLB, MIS, MM1, SIN, SMA, STH, THL, UMB, XEV,

XME

, XSE, XSO, XSP, XTC, XTE, XXV)

- When I ran *#272*???????????????# the variant / product code (XME) was not on the list to choose from. In fact, only CCM, DGI, GLB, MIS, MM1, SIN, SMA, STH was available. It was like the bottom part of the list went missing. (I scrolled, it's NOT there). Cannot type in screen on top either.

- Also been looking to install XME.zip (found this somewhere in xda) with adb. (actually I really don't know what I'm doing on adb. Noob)

- Cannot root. Reflashed 3 times, all succesfull but nothing happens when update.zip at recovery screen.

So,

1. How to install XME? Do I really need to? (I havn't found any problems except unable to root. Phone, SMS, MMS, GPS, Market, WiFi - ALL good)

2. I cannot root because of CSC issue?

I need to root and lagfix. Any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
Does anyone know a wallpaper changer that allows you to import your own images that are already in the right size and does not lose or loses minimal quality? I found that changing wallpapers with Zedge is way better in terms of quality than Astro. However, the process to import wallpapers into Zedge is too tedious so?... Any better method/app?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] tookieboy:
try EStrongs File Explorer. It has a "LAN" option that you can use to connect to your computer via Wifi. Grab the image, then change your wallpaper via home..

Not yet. Let me get close to finished and I'll release it. I found my problem with the FCs I was getting. Apparently I don't know how to search and read or I would have found the thread on 9.png's.

Task manager on long press of home? Would've been shnazzy if android stopped at 2.1, but with froyo and its new processing, reckon that'll just disappear once froyo hits? In the mean time, is there a way to make it display more than 6 recent apps? Always my fave function of cm :-)

Also I think it'd be cool if in the notification bar, the panel with wifi/gps/4g/w.e you could slide left and right and have more options than just those 4.

Hi forum.

A quick question...

How do i re-install the defailt launcher ??

I have tried this way:

@adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

@adb push content/Launcher.apk /sdcard/Launcher.apk

@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Launcher.apk of=/system/app/Launcher.apk

And even thoug the launcher is on the sd card after (as i not clean after install), and also it all looked like it was installed ok, it don´t work.

When i try to install it from my sdcard with astro, i get a error saying:

"Start could not be installed on this phone"

Pleace, do you know why ??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
What did it say, it should say if it was pushed or failed?

Because some system apks have to be pushed and wont install in the usual fashion.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Zocker Tko:
hi

you must set the permissions, sytem apps need it

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

chmod 644 /system/app/Launcher.apk

reboot

or you navigate with rootexplorer to system, mount it rw, navigate to sytem/app/Launcher.apk set the permissions to 644 (User-rw,Group-r,Others-r)

then reboot

sry for bad english, hope it worked
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pshdo:
Hi there...

I can´t figure this out...

I can see with "OI file explorer" that have the Launcher.apk inside /system/app.

It looks like it all goes well with mount and chmod above, but i can´t use the launcher?

And inside Titanium Backup it looks like the launcher "start" is not even installed on the phone...:confused:

What am i missing here ??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
It makes me think that you have also removed Launcher.odex from /system/app . Do you have Launcher.odex in system/app ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Post a screen shot of the cmd window, it should hint at what your doing, or not doing correctly.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Zocker Tko:
Hmm have you set the permission, have you install homeswitcher, with this you can switch the launcher you have installed and set as default.
