[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiggz:
I have a rooted Nexus One 2.2 and I really wanted to keep my stock ROM (there are always issues with cooked ROMs regardless of how well they are prepared) but I also want to be able to morph/mod my device a bit.

As you may tell I'm a bit of a noob so I'm just wondering if this is possible without flashing a custom ROM?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
What would you like to change?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
You say that regarding cooked roms, but the same can be said with any of the "mods" you want to use. Everyone is different, even you stock rom may not be immune to "stock" or the most basic mods. But I get what you are talking about.

You can use setcpu to oc your processor. There are a bunch of metamorphs you can use to customize your phone as well. They even have a circle battery mod that you can use WITHOUT being rooted. Only thing is, that mod does not overwrite or replace anything. It's an addition to he existing features.

Not to say all mods are worthless, being a CM6 user for a while and then going through eVil D's sense files and now Rod's MIUI files are welcome additions to people like me who like a lil spice in their daily flashes lol.

If your looking for aesthetics then I'd suggest using a launcher like adw or launcher pro... And you can only underclock without a different kernel.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OutlawPro:
Simple to do. I use the stock FRG83 ROM myself with these exact changes. First thing you need to do is get a deodexed version of the ROM. I use the one found here by Geo411m: Completely Stock Deodexed with busybox

I then went out and found all the images that I liked from various other ROMs and themes and made my own update zip file using Geo411m's FRG83 Blackbar Add-on v1.2 addon as the base.

Just take a day or so and learn how the themes work and that the framework-res.apk file can be modified using winrar or winzip and then you should be on your way.
[Vibrant General] meldedchaoz:
I ride a Kawasaki Ninja, and it's become increasingly difficult to be able to have one ear listening to music lately (using my Vibrant as my MP3 player).

:confused: The issue:

While riding at speeds greater than 15-20mph, the button on my wired headset is activated by the wind constantly (both the stock wired headset that came with it, and my new Skull Candy ones). This causes my music to "sputter" the whole time I'm moving. I thought maybe it was just the stock headset, so I went and got a really nice set....and...same problem. Apparently, it has to do with the wind blowing into that mic/button area, and activating the button. Both headests normally work just fine, but that wind is causing an issue when riding...​

What I'm looking for:

I'm looking for a way to disable the headset pickup/hangup/play/pause button. At the very least, just the play/pause part of it, but I haven't found any solution yet.​
[Vibrant General] junglizste:
My music randomly pauses for no reason... I think the button is just broken.

I too would like to disable the button.
[Vibrant General] meldedchaoz:
Bump

Ideas? Anyone? Getting desperate...
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Try a diffrent music player, also dig aroung the settings in the app
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
There's an app called poweramp and it has an option to disable the button (I think) the app can be found in the Vibrant themes n apps thread
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Put duct tape over that part of the headset? :D
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
Use earphones with no button? Like the ipod ones?
[Vibrant General] meldedchaoz:
Looking for an actual fix...

Reasoning:

1) Using a headset without a button:

I don't want to have to carry around 2 headsets (one for music, one for phone)​

2) Using a different app:

I want to be able to use things like Pandora Radio, which only really plays out of one player.​

3) Duct tape:

I could just as easily pour super-glue into the button cavity...oh, wait...no :)​
[G2 and Desire Z General] Akulamenuri:
I'm curious what everyones Preferred Network Type is on their G2.

You get there by...

Go to "Phone"

Type *#*#4636#*#* (Don't hit send, you will see a screen appear)

Click "Phone Information"

Scroll down until you see "Set Preferred Network Type" and post what it says

The reason I want to know is because I did this and my phone's preferred network type says "WCDMA perferred".

Does anyone know if changing this value to GSM Prl will be more suitable for this GSM phone or does it not matter?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
I switched mine to GSM Preferred PRL and I seem to get better battery life. It has a higher threshold before it switches from E to H. In places with good H signal it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I'm happy with it this way.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SeReaction:
From the N1 thread I used to lurk in religiously.

WCDMA preferred - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 3G is favored more.

GSM only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.

WCDMA only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.

GSM auto (PRL) - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more. This one is a bit confusing to me since PRL is associated mostly with CDMA technology and not GSM technology.

CDMA auto (PRL) - The CDMA phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more.

CDMA only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.

EvDo only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.

GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) - Some phones are equipped with both GSM and CDMA capabilities. This setting appears to just have the phone attempt to stay connected to the data communication type that works the best. (Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S will take advantage of this???)

Unknown - If none of the above fit or the phone is acting weird as far as connecting to the carrier, you will see your preferred network type is set to this.

Also, WCDMA uses more power because it is constantly scanning for connections and will always prefer 3G connections; have a lower threshold to use 3G.

GSM AUTO PRL has a higher threshold for 3G, generally about 2 bars or slightly lower so far I've noticied.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nidhindhanraj:
i cannot change network type. default is wcdma preferred. i click gsm only or wcdma only and it defaults back to wcdma preferred. Help! I cannot save the setting. I have galaxy note i717.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguel.thompson:
i recently upgraded to a Droid Incredible and decided that i was going to mess with the OS. i'm new to the rooting world and don't really know too much about what i did. i used unREVoked 3. i didn't do a backup before i started to root. is there any websites that have the original operating system on for me to download? is it possible to use my wife's unrooted phone, back it up, and reflash my phone with it?

if any of this is possible i would really appreciate it if you could give me detailed info on how to do it and links to the programs that i will need in order to unroot the phone.

How-To's

This is post 4 : How-To's

HOW TO REQUEST FOR HELP ON XDA​

Again, personal point of view here, but there are a lot of "unsaid" things around there....

1. Nothing more

annoying

than a "noob" (and we've ALL been through there, but...) that didn't (at least) try looking for himself.

-> Use wisely the "Search on this thread" button. It's WORKING. Tip: If you're not on a specific thread, but rather in the Development of General sub-forum, tick the "Post" button to avoid going through entire threads for a single answer.

2. Do remember: you're not alone.

-> DON'T BE RUDE, BE POLITE, SAY HI, THANK PEOPLE, we all have to be patient. It's XDA

Community

. Plus, some threads are moving real fast, and may have flooded your question. Ask again, and just don't complain! :p

-> EDIT YOUR SIGNATURE. Insert your ROM, Radio, Phone model, etc etc etc. Most common answer to noob problems: "WHAT'S YOUR ROM"

->Try asking GOOD QUESTIONS, starting with (Hi!) "I've been looking for this, found this, understood this, but need help about that" (Thanks) and you'll see how people will be more inclined to answer ^^

Flash a WM6 ROM (compatible with Android)
​

> Need-to-Know : HSPL, RUU, WM6 Roms

1. Install the HSPL

- A HSPL is needed in order to "flash" custom roms, as well as new radios, and then Android Builds. Most up-to-date HSPL is HSPL 3 (found here).

- Plug your WM6 phone to your computer using the USB cable provided on activesync mode (SDCard Flash method here)

- Launch the "Mobile Manager" in Vista/Seven, or wait for activesync in Windows XP, and establish a connection (Connection failure : Look here)

- Launch "HSPL3_PKG.exe", and follow the instructions

- Reboot phone

2. Download and Install a WM6 ROM

- Hint: Choose and download a recent WM6 rom (advices here)

-> Your phone needs its battery to be charged at a minimum of 50%, else flashing won't occur

- Again, plug your phone in USB-Activesync mode

- Unzip the archive, and launch "CustomRUU.exe" ("ruu_signed.nbh" is the WM6 rom file)

Flash a new Radio (under WM6 only)​

- Choose a recent radio, minimum required is 2.08, 2.12 recommended (radio thread here)

- Again, plug your phone in USB-Activesync mode

- Sometimes, only the radio (ruu_signed.nbh) is provided in zip files. "Pick" the "custom_ruu.ex"e of a WM6 ROM, and copy it in the unzipped radio folder, it'll work just as well.

- Launch and follow the instructions

Install Android on a SD Card​

Update an Android Build (with a new build)​

Update an Android Build (with a new kernel)​

HaRET is not an emulator. It is a Linux bootloader.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Reno_79:
A Really good guide, actually explains quite a lot about the filesystem that I wasn't aware of. Well written and a great idea.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RedWave31:
Thanks, updated!

Feel free to submit ideas or whatever!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mstrk242:
Wow, good idea on putting it all in one thread, few things, however:

As another poster suggested, haret is not an emulator (handheld reverse engineering tool)

As far as the filesystems: rootfs.img is the linux rootfile system, startup.txt are commandline arguments for the linux startup, system.ex2 is the root android filesystem, etc. So to avoid confusion, think of it this way: system.ex2 would be closer to the android "rom image", where as rootfs, startup.txt, ts-calibration, and initrd are for the linux kernel side, so you can boot up android. (Very oversimplified I know, just trying to help)

When you install a linux box, typically it's installed on more than one partition (keeping the /home directory on a seperate one is always good practice, and some people even keep /var on a seperate one for log files as well.) data.img and system.ex2 would be like different partitions of the android filesystem. When you buy a phone that isn't "rooted", it means you don't have access to the root file system, aka in this case, system.ex2.

*edit* oops you already saw the thing about the haret. Didn't notice.

You may also want to add that for where apps are located after install, /data/app is for user installed apps, /system/app are for pre-loaded apps that are installed with the system. If you wanted to remove any app that came with the system (like the amazonmp3, for example), you'd delete it out of there. (Delete files out of the system/app at your own risk, don't delete it if you don't know what it is)

Added "How to post a Good Question", personal joke of the day, but REAL INFO :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] 1audio:
A question and a few suggested tools-

First, where in the Android file structure are the logs stored?

Second, another way to access the phone from Windows, one I use for working on Linux systems-

1) install QuickSSHd from the market. It will open an SSH (secure) tunnel into the phone

2) Install on your windows system Winscp and Putty (both Windows XP and up applications and both free. Winscp allows you to transfer files to and from the phone and Putty gives you a root shell and your desktop/notebook keyboard.

While these tools are not real simple, if you have an understanding of basic Linux and get this far you can then log into the phone over your home WiFi network with full root access and get into a lot of trouble if you aren't careful. It also seems more stable than Droid explorer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheMathMan:
Excuse this potentially silly question...

How do you quit Android? I'm running the Runnymede/Rhyme/Bliss one and long holding power doesnt do anything.

[HD2 Android SD Development] mikemol:
I've been looking for a way to stop the phone from switching to another carrier but can't find it on Sense builds. In Windows mobile I can set it to manual and it wouldn't switch then. The problem is that I live close to the border and the phone switching to other carriers. I found the setting to turn off Data Roaming but that only disables data in roaming and doesn't prevent the phone from switching to other carriers. How can I set it up so that GSM or Voice roaming is also disabled? If Sense builds do not have this ability maybe anyone knows of an app that could block the phone from switching to other GSM networks?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ketzazu:
Use quickboot app.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pascalsg:
have you tried settings--->wireless &networks--->mobile networks--->network operators--->Search for networks and select your fav provider?

this should answer your question.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nigeldg:
Why open such an old thread? One of the glitches of the Sense 2.1 and onwards ROMs is that the power menu doesn't work. Pull battery or use 'quickboot' app which is included in most sense 3.0 ROMs.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikemol:
No, that doesn't work. I select mine when it's available. But when it is not available I can't select it and the phone automatically selects another network carrier. I would rather have the phone stay not connected at all than connected to a different carrier. Having an automatic and manual setting would help but there is no manual setting.

[Desire General] quepasa2:
Hi, there!

Is it possible to deploy native video codecs of Samsung Galaxy S to Htc desire ? I think in this way playback of video content become more smooth than in RockStar even!

and by the way, currently, RockStar player have problems with playing some video in system-mode.

I think that it will be a great success, and our device become realy multimedia-device if deployment of galaxy s video codec possible, and support of formats such as "divX", "avi" and other will be native to HTC desire.

so, is it possible or not ?
[Desire General] icecreammm:
I don't think it's possible as the Galaxy S has another processor.
[Desire General] godutch:
this is not the case both processer use the same arm instruction set, the problem would be to get out media player to load the codecs, these codecs might be hardcoded or statically linked into the mediaplayer
[Desire General] AndroHero:
do you not need a licence to use the codecs the galaxy utilizes like divx and ffdshow? this would make it illegal to port them......
[Desire General] godutch:
that depends on the country you are in and the codecs used (eg ffmpeg is free and open source but illegal in the US because it violates US software patents, in Europe the are no such legal problems)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Chances are that the codec utilize some sort of hardware acceleration/functions from the GPU, and these *are* different between the processors (PowerVR vs AMD).

Given that there are now several AVI/DivX players compatible with the Desire (e.g. Rockplayer, VPlayer, ArcMedia etc), this is far less of an issue than it used to be.

Dave
