posted in mt4g>dta2sd thread also, but kinda scarce there, lol, so...

I rooted and installed CWM 3.0.0.5 (or .6) on my buddys' MT4G-Glacier, did a backup of his stock rom, wiped data/factory reset, then partitioned his sdcard with 512mb ext and swap to 0. I then installed CM7+latest gapps and it booted up just fine, apps restored, etc.

I personally use DT v.2.7.5.2 on my N1 without any issues using amon_ra recovery which lets me create ext2>ext3. And due to many having issues with DT betas right now, I put 2.7.5.2 on his mt4g also.

While partitioning his sdcard in CWM, I did not see a way(or missed it) to create an ext3 or ext4 partition, so I assume it is only ext2. Can DT's a2sd v.2.7.5.2script be run on MT4G with CM7 nightlies using only ext2?

Or does anyone know a way to create ext2>ext3/4 with CWM?

Haven't seen anything definitive in this thread yet. Thanks for the help!

call waiting issue

Anyone having a similar problem or have an idea as to a fix?

When on a call with someone, if I ignore call waiting, once the 2nd call goes to voicemail, my first call is disconnected.

Running CM7 Nightly 42, flashed over RC1 (which was after a full /system wipe, etc.)

Thanks

Phone and Contacts Questions

two questions actually,

I'm on Cyanogen 7 RC1

1) is there a way to set speed dial? This is my first time using any rom. I like it, but can't seem to set speed dial.

2) on stock there is a way to link contacts but I can't seem to figure that out on Cyanogen. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

Lost HTC Sense Weather/Clock widget.

hi All,

Rooted mytouch 4g with s=off with gfree method.

I tried CM7 RC1, had issues with the 4g HSPA speeds, so reverted back to stock (backup I made in ROM Manager).

Today someone asked me to show the HTC Sense Weather.Clock widget. I usually use LauncherPro, so I went and cleared defaults on LauncherPro to set HTC sense as the default launcher...I did that...but then I go to add the Clock widget, I dont see it in the list!

Any ideas how I can get the stock HTC Weather/Clock widget (the digital clock flip thingy).

I am on stock ROM now though with CW 3.0.0.5 installed. I tried going back to 2.5.1.4 CW but no go.

Would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Get cwm 3.0.0.6 it will flash all roms and your old nands. You might need to get the stock nands from the forums and restore from it, if you can't get it back yourself.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ravneetg:
I actually have the CWM 3.0.0.6 (just says .5 in the UI, but when in recovery I see .6).

So CWM is latest...Is there any way to restore just that widget outside of doing the whole TMO stock nand restore?

I am downloading the stock TMO nand though, but was wondering where the widget went!

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
You would have to adb push to system/app with corresponding odex file, not sure of the apk name, sorry.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ravneetg:
OK. Will check the apk in the forum.

Ok got a question....Doing a girls MT4g, I've only worked on G1s and Eris. Need help. Just rooted it, flashed CW, and then wiped and flashed CM7(2152011). I have no sim right now, so I need to sign in with WiFi. Won't let me add a network, and after a minute, it auto shuts off WiFi. I turn on again, still same issue. Any ideas? is this a known issue? Any help or clues would be appreciated.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Its a known issue and its posted all over the cm7 threads. Wipe and reflash if a reboot doesn't fix it.

Hello Whosdaman,

Could we make a dedicated post/sticky that has Guides, Mods, ROMs, etc., linked and organized like the G2 forum here.=: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801206

any way out of recovery

Just messing around I got into recovery. Any way to reboot from there without pulling the battery. My back cover is a ***** to get off with my thumbnail.

May not really matter since I'll have rooted and loaded Clockwork recovery after tonight. Just thought I'd ask

To reboot without pulling the battery try the three finger trick.. no not that one.. power+volume down+trackpad.

With all due respect the Thread I created was not the same as this one. Visit the link I posted and look at how this one is done. It is a closed thread to comments and only updated by Moderators to keep it clean. It is also broken in to Problem categories.

Question and answer thread like this is ok but it gets long and does not serve the same purpose as the one I made. Also This is Android development section and more toward rooting and fixing problems rather than in General section.

I hope you can understand it better now what I was trying to start.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bittermormon:
Thx for both tips. A paper clip works well too.

is there any word on the G2 rom getting ported to the MT4G? im not a huge fan of "Sense"
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Matt105:
Hey guys I don't really know what "mySense" is. Can anyone fill me in? Also, I want to change the launcher, so should I use ADW or Launcher Pro? Launcher Pro hasn't been updated in a month, and the comment for it in the market are mostly negative talking about bugs and force closes. Anyone know what the deal is? I basically just want to change how the launcher icon looks, and change the icons to the left/right of it. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] QMAN101:
MySense is the UI on the Stock ROM for the MT4G. My preference is ADW Launcher. It has a lot of themes available for it as well which can be used regardless of the ROM you are on. Launcher Pro has similar.

just picked up a mt4g and wanted to root but i was wondering how to check if it had the OTA update or not.

in the software information menu under settings it says:

Baseband version: 12.28.60.140eU_26.03.00.04_M2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.21-g52a81 htc-kernel@u18000-Build-149#1

I'm attempting to delve into actual ROM cooking, but am running into a problem. What is a good location to obtain the stock ROM for the MT4G?

Edit: NM found the ROM from another post...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Matt105:
Ok I found visionary.

And I followed the instructions and I now have s-off all the time, even after multiple reboots. But Titanium won't load for me. It says it can't get root access and make sure I have busybox (what is busybox?). Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] esincho:

I have mytouch 4g permrooted and so i downloaded the rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery. After that i went and clicked on backup current rom. the phone reboots but and on the screen it shows a photo of a phone and a red triangle with exclamation mark. Am i doing something wrong?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tackleberry:
im looking thru titanium, but am a little confused, to delete a known bloatware item, i long touch it, a box pops up and says force kill app to delete it is that the correct way to delete it? if so, do you really have to do it one by one and let the device restart each time? or am i missing a step.

plus, what were to happen if each theme from tmobile was deleted? is there a list of items that should never be deleted?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jstep:
Ok. I've just been able to get permaroot s=off. Now I would like to flash cm6.1. I have rom manager and I have successfully flashed clockworkMod recovery. Whenever I reboot into recovery I get the phone with the red triangle over it. I NEED HELP. lol Thank you for any input.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] NexVision:
That usually means clockwork didnt take reboot and flash it 3-4 times then reboot into recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tenbeau:
What is HBoot and How is Hboot used -can you use it to reboot? I have read in other threads that Hboot can be used to flash the device, is that true? If so how would one go about doing that? Also I have read that you can update Hboots or flash to different ones. On my Nexus One I have flashed using update. zip and CWM . On my Vibrant I have flashed using Odin which is good only for the Vibrant.I am a nubie and wanting to learn as much as I can as fast as I can so that I might be of some help to others on this forum instead of just receiving all of the time. Any and all info is greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Matt105:
Anyone else have the issue where your message notification tone is always "Alpha" ? It might be only when it's plugged in, but I haven't really noticed yet. I think it is always Alpha.

I have my default notification set to Gamma, my email notification set to Epsilon (which works), and my message-settings notification set to Gamma also. But it still plays alpha for texts?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kambiz.aghaiepour:
I had the same issue. I read in another post to try rom manager again to install clockwork recovery. The second attempt took, and rebooting into recovery now works. Not sure why the first attempt didn't work ... perhaps its a sync and timing issue. *shrug*

Anyhow, once there, you can flash by applying the update.zip that you get from roms such as iced glacier.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
I haven't had to restart after each app is uninstalled, but one at a time is it you are messing with system apps......if you delete all themes your phone will probably bootloop.....

correct me if I am wrong. Not sure what not to uninstall but you should have pulled all apps via adb before you got to this point.:(

Quick question and thank you in advance for any help or advice... Just switched from iced glacier to Gorillas desire port. I have a bunch of movies on my sd card and with stock and iced glacier, I was able to play my movies just fine using the built in media room app... now on Gorillas rom im getting a video cant be played error... Any thoughts? Or advice on a different media player I can download that will play them?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nalinna:
Text notifications aren't the same as the phone's generic notifications. You can set the notifications for text messages within the stock messaging app by pressing menu->settings->notification sound. (Make sure you're altering the received notification sound, not the sent notification sound.) Check that first.

Also keep in mind that, if your phone is attempting to access your SD card for your notifications (not sure offhand how the MT4G handles its audio notifications, but I vaguely remember having this issue with my custom notifications) and your phone is plugged in, it won't work (and will default back to Alpha) because mounting the device to your computer makes the SD card unavailable to the phone.

Try rockplayer, I have the best luck with it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rjhay22:
So question.... After permrooting using visionary, how come I still cant access recovery using ROM manager? Anyone got a clue as to why this is going on? Am I missing something here? Thanks for your future replies.

Edit: saw a post a page back. I've tried that already and still a no go. I will keep trying i guess. If anyone has a better solution pls let me know. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Are you installing it from Rom manager or flashboot? Rom is what I used with no problems.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rjhay22:
I use ROM manager and tried to go to recovery, and its a no go. I unfortunely am limited to dking everything on my phone atm, since my laptop just died on me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Maybe super user permission or I did have random weirdness on stock rom with clockwork. Can you get there through hboot/fastboot? Volume down and power.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rjhay22:
Yes I think I can get to hboot. I tried installing update.zip file and had an error.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
You can get to recovery from the hboot menu 2nd option down I think if is installed. I will boot now and check for sure.1 sec

Confirmed - I got there from rom manager and hboot
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rjhay22:
Thank you for your help brother, I am aware of that and did try that as well, but still shows a phone with a red triangle and exclamation when I try to access recovery, seems like installing the flash recovery via ROM manager isnt sticking. :(:mad:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] NexVision:
Try flashing recovery 2-3 times prior to attempting to get into recovery sometimes it doesn't stick right away.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kambiz.aghaiepour:
I can attest to this. I had the red exclamation over yellow triangle and had to try a second time. On the second try it "stuck". I personally don't like mysteries, so it would be nice to have a good technical explanation as to why this happens.

Hey guys this could be a noob question not sure but for the fix and tweaks, if I was to root my phone would there be a way to tweak the garbage volume settings on the ear piece and speakerphone ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
I rooted using visionary and I flashed clockwork using ROM Manager. I'm not super technological when it comes to phone quite yet but I'm slowly learning. After I flashed clockwork I was stuck on the MyTouch 4g white screen when you first boot up the phone. I then decided that clockwork had probably screwed something up and flashed the stock recovery from one of the forums on here. Now when booting into recovery underneath the red exclamation point and phone i have this error mesage: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command error message.

Any way to fix this or did I just completely screw something up? I've read on a few sites that a nandroid backup of the stock rom and recovery.img can possibly fix it (I think this was on the G1 or Nexus One not quite sure). Does anyone on here know the correct way to fix this? I haven't tried flashing any ROM's because of this so I'm not sure what would happen if I tried as, like I said, I'm kind of not the most advanced technologically when it comes to phone yet. Any help is appreciated!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jaskwith:
[Q] I was reading somewhere in a forum, and some user said on the topic of the MT4g getting Gingerbread that: "Gingerbread will take awhile to get to the MT4G, because of espresso"...I don't really know what that means, but I would assume that he is talking about a stock OTA update?...Because wouldn't you be able to put Gingerbread on your MT4G easily enough if it was rooted?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
That is a normal error message that everyone's phone spits out. Nothing to worry about. Go ahead and reflash clockwork and then a rom or two. You'll be fine. ;)

Usually it takes longer for phones with Sense UI or one of its variants to get an update because there is a whole lot of framework and OS stuff that is different due to the add-ons than in a vanilla rom (stock android). Therefore you are at the mercy of the manufacturer/carrier and whether or not they feel they need to update the device (which has taken literally years for some devices I think) since Sense and MySense is their baby to begin with.

Rooting

Sheesh , I was scared to ask these questions. :( but I just wanted to know a few things about this rooting stuff. As far as ADB and SDK I think it is. I know theres a guide for dummies, but I just want a quick summary and then theres is this clockmod recovery and then that cynogen thing. Just wanted to know if I should put that on my phone. I mean I really just rooted my phone for the themes and tweaks and all of that. I've been going through threads where people post there screenshots of their themes and that pretty much inspired me to root my phone. :cool: - Its my first post , take it easy on me. Haha, but I would really like to get involved with this forum community. I am a graphic designer and pretty good at it but not at the moment cause I don't have my photoshop. I used to do blackberry themes as well. I don't know if that means anything... :eek:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] joeyklatzko:
To start, let me say that I have never rooted an Android device before, until just now. I followed the permaroot guide on here and I'm able to grant any program Superuser permissions. Up until an hour ago I had never used the Android SDK or ADB, but I got root without a hitch.

I have a few questions though.

Will factory resetting my phone remove SU permissions?

What are some cool things I can/should do now that I have root? I mainly did it to be able to flash different ROM's onto my phone (especially with Gingerbread being imminent)
