WARNING: im a noob

sooooo... i rooted my phone and everyone says that there is an option in recovery mode to do nandroid backup and i have no option like that.

when i go into recovery it has:

1. Reboot

2. Flash update.zip

3. Wipe data/factory reset

4. wipe cache partition

how do i do a nandroid backup?
[Fascinate Android Development] denonlake:
Select fladh update and it will take u to clockwork mod recovery if you installed it. That is where nandroid is located. If you havent installed it get rom manager from market and install recovery from it
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
Thanks i got it working now!
[Epic 4G General] WhiteWidows:
Well The glass is not as strong as I thought. I only dropped it getting out of my car on to the pavement. The screen it still working but idk for how long. I just added insurance through Sprint right now because I didn't have it. I bought it from Best Buy. So now what should I just claim it was stolen and get a new one? Should I wait to make a claim? How much is it? :mad: This just toped my bad day, I need a drink!

Uh this could work?
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
If its within 30 daysof you buying it then I believe that any claims have to go through best buy since you bught it there....if it is past the 30 days then you can just take it into a sprint store and they should repair/replace it for you....if they don't do it for free then they will just charge you the deductible the same as if you reported it lost/stolen
[Epic 4G General] WhiteWidows:
Well I'm seeing posts that its $100 deductible from Sprint's 3rd party. But everything online i see from Sprint says $50. If its $100 then the above post for the screen replacement is worth it. I have tore a Epic down yet but I think i capable of doing it. I called Best buy and they said that if i have their insurance ($10 a month) They will send it out put a $150 hold on my card then replce it if its not fixable with a new one. Im with in my 30 day so IDK ??????????????
[Epic 4G General] TWO515TY:
The dedictible for the Epic and other smartphones is $100, not $50.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
It used to be 50 bucks, then last year sprint upped the deductible to $100 so the web pages you are finding might be older ones
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
this is why i bucked up and bought the $35 horizontal leather holster from day 1. **** im not watching my $550 phone go down the toliet.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Beware of replacement screens off ebay.

Most of the replacement screens for the Epic are LCD screens which are NOT SuperAmoled! So its maybe 20 or 30 bucks cheaper but it aint gonna be any thing like the original.

My advice is to just pay the $100 deductible and get a new one through sprint. You will at least be sure you are getting a S.Amoled screen!!

wondering how it looks like.
[Epic 4G General] WhiteWidows:
This is from me getting out the car with the phone on my lap. about a 2 -3 foot drop directly on the screen.

Now to decide weather i should cancel the Sprint insurance and got get the Best Buy insurance. Best Buy said they will add me on sent it to their repair center then if its deemed unrepairable they will give me a new one. 10$ per month $150 deposit that i get back according to them.
[Epic 4G General] jojo08:
wonder if squaretrade may be a better option?
[Epic 4G General] WhiteWidows:
Here is a response I received from the seller of the replacement part.

Im not sure if it is a LCD of AMOLED I sent another message asking what it is.

Im still unclear what the best way is to take care of this. Im still in my 30 days.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
It's not going to be super amoled from an ebay vendor because Samsung has tight control of production at this point in time. IIRC the s.amoled tech allows the touchscreen and led screen to be attached to each other so most likely you broke both and/or can't replace them separately. I think the ebay guy just wants to sell you the kit regardless of whether it will help you. I would definitely not buy it.

For what it's worth, this is from the AMOLED wiki (bolding from me): The main difference between a Samsung Super AMOLED and AMOLED is that touch is integrated into the screen instead of an extra layer on top of it. This results in a thinner device, 20% brighter, reflects 80% less sun*light and consumes 20% less power. Color is more vivid and natural, viewing angles are improved since that extra touch layer is removed with better light transmittance.

Hello everyone,

I have an HP iPAQ hx4700 and a playstation 3.

Now that ps3 jailbrake a.k.a psgroove & psfreedom are developed I was wondering if anyone tried to port any of the above on the device.

I anyone tried and succeeded I would love to read a step by step guide on how he did it.

Here is a link with the open source of psgroove ps3-hacks.com/file/166 (add www infront of the link) for anyone that might like to try!

I was able to take the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk from the Vibrant and replace the stock version on the Fascinate. What this buys me is the ability to have an Alphabetical grid option in the app drawer. I hated not having the grid in alphabetical order since I knew it was an option on the Vibrant. I posted this on the AC forums and since people liked it over there I'm posting it here.

Instructions:

1) Backup current apk & odex files

2) copy over new apk & delete the odex

3) restart your phone. If you don't you'll get a bunch of force close messages.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] taypotts:
Works great but one thing I would like to know how to do is set my own home screen. I only use 3 screens and I want to be able to use the 2nd screen but there is no option to do this with the vibrant launcher.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] taypotts:
Bam! New dock!!! The fascinate launcher doesnt allow this ;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] money226:
How did you change the dock?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dakoop:
You must share how you changed the dock

Sent from my voodoo powered fascinate
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dialect129:
fascinate does allow dock changes maybe not on touchwiz but in launcher pro..which is better anyways
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] betcmrekoapl:
Any chance this will allow video out feature that the vibrant has?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] xsalientx:
How did you replace the battery sign on top of the screen? App name?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Irishpride:
Would somebody mind posting detailed instructions, for some reason I'm having a hard time installing this. Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Njzkrish:
doesnt work for me when i replace the old apk. Wont install either.

Edit:

Ok for people needing help on installing this. Do as the OP states and do the following and for people who cant seem to get back onto TW you have to erase defaults on any current launchers and press home to set TW as default

This version of Touchwiz has GOOGLE SEARCH for people who want to use Tw only.

When I backup using Titanium Backup, does it also backup the odex files?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] taypotts:
Ill do a write up when I get off work today.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
Awesome, thanks alot.

Now can someone PLEASE get the Vibrant's contacts app working on the Fascinate? :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DeezNotes:
There's more than one way to do this. I would not use Titanium Backup for this. Replacing the stock launcher can cause force close errors which can make getting to the Titanium Backup app impossible. I mean... think about it... you're deleting the launcher - and you use the launcher to launch Titanium Backup. ADB is most likely the best method to get this done, however a file manager such as Root Explorer will also do the job.

This didn't work for me initially, because I only had the stock TouchWiz launcher installed. The best way to get this installed is to have an alternate launcher installed, such as Launcher Pro. You also must have root access to your phone. I'm not responsible for what you do.

- If you only have the stock launcher installed, install an alternate such as Launcher Pro from the Market.

- If you have multiple launchers already, make sure TwLauncher is NOT the default. Clear the default by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > *whatever launcher you use* > Clear Defaults

- Make Launcher Pro your current launcher - if the TouchWiz Launcher is active, you will have problems

- Copy the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to your SD card (I put mine in my /sdcard/download/ folder - this is where I keep downloaded .apk files)

- Make a backup (COPY) the original Verizon TouchWiz30Launcher files (I copied /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.* to /sdcard/bacukp/app-del/ - this is where I keep all the stock bloatware files; I keep them there just in case... that's why you'll never see me post "help!! I deleted this file and I need it back!")

- Copy the new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk file from /sdcard/download/ to /system/app/ - overwriting the original one - make sure you backed this file up first!!

- Delete the /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.odex file - make sure you backed this file up first!!

- Reboot the phone

If you cleared the launcher defaults, it should ask which launcher you want to use after you unlock your phone. The Vibrant Launcher should now work. I don't see how to change the dock other than to edit the .apk directly. The alphabetical grid is option is there and the settings (gear) button isn't - you know, the one that lets you edit home screens and stuff. Those are the only differences I notice.

The instructions above should allow you to use ADB or a file manager. As long as you read them and you understand what you're doing, you should be okay.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jatilq:
I used Android Commander and followed the instructions above. I cannot get the dock like posted a few post ago, but I'm happy with this and the loss of bing.

This is pretty sweet. Along with the Google Search widget and the Alphabetic Grid, I like that the dock at the bottom is more transparent. I downloaded the Epic dump and tried to put that launcher in my system/app directory the same way but it totally didn't work. =[

How is this speedwise compared to LP or ADW, cause I really do like the widgets but TW seems a lot slower.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] CrimsonKnight13:
I've seen very little difference from the 3 of them with performance. Inactive apps running in memory have a higher propensity to cause slowdown it appears.

I am using Root Explorer but every time I delete the .odx and move the apk file, it reappears and I cannot overwrite with the new file(s). I have LP installed so it's not a matter of TW being open/active. Anyone else having this issue?

I don't really like it, to me it makes the contrast look different. Other than that not much is different. Would rather keep the original with the google search modification tbh.

Hmm. I really end up missing the gear on the app drawer. Liking the alphabetical view though.

Anyone else notice that you can't set your home screen to anything but "4"?... Maybe I am missing something.

How do you call twlauncher from the launcher pro application icon above ?

Wouldn't be executed the inner launcherpro app-docker, instead the touchwiz one ?

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] chavist:
I have tried following the instructions to the T and the file does not appear in my app folder when paste. I also already have my system deodex so would this work
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] voghan:
Not sure, I tried it on the stock rom. I haven't tried it in the other roms out there.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Flipsoul:
Are you on a rom with tw removed?

-check your file permissions

If on a stock system / rom with tw

1. Chech your file permissions/follow earlier instructions

2. There alrwady is a twlauncher30.apk. You will be placing a new apk in its place.

3. Rename/move/delete twlauncher30.odex if present

This will NOT appear in your app drawer (most launchers do not).

Changing the launcher should cause your system to clear its default action to pick a launcher (if multiple launchers are installed)

There are a few small differences between the vibrant and the fascinate tw versions. Just look for them to confirm that you have installed correctly.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Wadzii:
I got the launcher to work no problem, app drawer is how it should be etc... but how do i change which apps are displayed in the dock
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Flipsoul:
Should work just as the fascinate tw.

Menu->edit->drag to dock.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] wroder84:
Its really not better than the stock fascinate launcher in my opinion.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Wadzii:
its way better IMHO.. just installing this takes away all the Bing and alphabetizes the app grid.

Though, i still cant figure out how to change the apps in the dock.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ktez:
Open app drawer first, then go to Menu, edit, then you can drag what you want to the dock.

I deleted the .odex file with root explore then copyed the file and pasted it with root explore and did not even need to restart and it worked just fine. Thanks for this i like it alot more.

Seems pointless. Just plug in your regular charger.

You have to leave this "power clip" thing plugged into your micro-usb port and attached to your phone all the time if you want to be able to just "drop it and go" as advertised.

It looks something like this (this one is mini-usb, but you get the idea):

I've got a rooted xt701 running the Droid X (darkportrom) version 3. Everything is running good except one thing. Droid takes forever to boot (approx 5 min). This is the same amount of time it takes to boot when first loading and droid is reading all the installed apps for the first time. I'm assuming that this ROM isn't keeping a table of the installed apps for some reason. Anybody have any suggestions to help me out. I'm only guessing this is the problem as the previous ROM took the same time loading the first time then 1 minute boots there after. Thanks in advance.

So can you hook a brother up with instructions to flash an evo to boost?
[EVO 4G General] LargePrime:
I do not believe it needs a "Flashing"

What it needs is an ESN change. You need to change the ESN to one that Boost will accept. Boost will not accept an EVO ID. You also will probably need a donor phone to get an ESN off of to be rather more legal.

The process for changing an android IMEI is not difficult, as I understand it.

Here is a question, do you have boost now?
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
when it is flashed to another carrier like that...

1. it is stolen

2. it is lost

3. sprint will not support it.

once you get it... there is NO warranty!

so.. I would never pay that much for it.

push it down to $250 or under!

you can do the flashing to other carriers yourself.

or

find a shop that is a boost/cricket/(what ever carrier).. they will do it for free.. because they want your business!!!

good luck.

No I do not have boost right now. Im planning on getting boost but i didnt know if i should get their phone and then go from there. But if i have to get their phone and take the ESN from it then i will. Do i have to get a certain phone or can i get the cheapest thing they have ?
[EVO 4G General] KaDaMuS:
BTW. my phone is not stolen... I paid $250 for this thing, with a new contract. Im done with sprint now. All I want is to get a cheaper plan with the same service -4g
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
of course.. if you purchased it from sprint.... it aint stolen.

I was talking about phones that are for sale that have been flashed to other carriers.

you can sell it for more .. when advertised with sprint.

can buy it cheaper when flashed for other carriers..

2 + 2 = phone was lost or stolen.

let us know.. how the service is on the EVO.. i am sure others would like to know. Many are looking to jump.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
ok.. sure..

if the phone ... is a good ESN.. not stolen.. or found EVO.

why not sell it for more as a Sprint ready phone???

EVO's on other carriers .. listed on craigslist .. go for half of what they are on sprint.

if i wanted to sell my EVO. that I purchased from sprint.. and have the reciept. I can get $350 or more... why would I want to sell it for $200 or less?

if Sprint marks the ESN on that phone as a stolen / lost device. I dont think HTC will fix it and then send it back to you. They might even keep the phone for refurbished inventory. This I am not sure of... but I would think it a long shot! Manufactures love any excuse to not provide warranty!
