I'm trying out this TBackup, is it the same as the Root Ex that you have to delete/uninstall the *.odex, or does this uninstall with the *.apk?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrianmak:
Is it possible to restore user created data ?

For example, the memo app bundle with vibrant, I created several memos from this app. Then I did a backup, and deleted some of memos.

I tried to restore but with an option for data only.

Hi. Is it possible to filter all system settings witch should not be restored (those marked red) ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
If you have S-ON, you can't remove files this way.

If you have S-ON I have just found a really neat way to get rid of the system junk using Titanium backup, goto backup/restrore, long press on the app you wanna get rid of, goto last option "force remove app (by recovery exploit)" this seams to work quite well for most system apps.

I'm currently trying to remove the new market app this way, but it's not looking good atm, came back after 1st try hummmm :confused:

I'm running a custom rooted rom right now and I wanted to get my hero replaced cause the speaker is dead.

So my question was that should I put the official fw back before I take it to get replaced/repaired?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mach2005:
Yes you must install an official RUU before sending it back. Otherwise you will have a problem with warranty.

[Droid X Android Development] Mikerrrrrrrr:
I'm still on the ancient 2.3.9 Froyo leak from years ago, and though I've been meaning to get back into the Android scene, I've been really busy, so I haven't kept up with all the leaks (2.3.13, 2.3.15).

I was wondering how to upgrade to the OTA update (2.3.15, I think) -- not the official one, but rather just its guts/kernel. I've taken a look around and there are a number of custom ROMs, but I assume that trying to flash them on my older kernel will probably result in a brick.

Can someone link me to the (preferably rooted) OTA update for me so I can get in on some custom ROM goodness? Thanks.
[Droid X Android Development] mkgle2:
basically what you can do is flash via rsd lite with the 2.2 sbf...then root...then flash your custom rom...

[G2 and Desire Z General] RuncaProfundus:
There are a few apps on the market that monitor usage. But I imagine they also drain the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:

I had this issue for the better part of a month and found this post yesterday on android central:

It seems to have resolved the issue so far! I thought I was going to have to hard reset and start over.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxtyle:
hi guys, well im a n00b in this, and id like to ask some questions bout it, first one is, the difference between clockworth and amon ra, cause i got the first one, but ive seen ROMS who says install the other one, second question is, can i install roms that says amon ra with clockworth? kinda dumb, but im just curious, and the third one, what does the kernels do, and which one is so far the best one? thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsttimer44:
1) Clockwork and Amon Ra are two types of recoveries that your phone uses when flashing roms. Most people prefer Amon Ra because some find it easier to navigate through. Also there were some reported instances where Clockwork wasn't wiping cache completely.

2) When I first got here there were some roms that required a specific recovery to flash them. Anymore pretty much every single rom on here is flashable with both recoveries

3) I know there is a technical definition out there but I think of a kernel as the cpu in your computer. It control everything, how fast things are running, and the overall smoothness/power of your phone. There are tons of good ones out there (netarchy/kings are the popular ones for sense, and snap kernals are very popular for non-sense roms)

hope that helps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxtyle:
thanks, for ur response, now u got another two interrogants, one is, how to put amon ra into my phone and take clockworth out, and the other one, what are sense and no sense roms, sorry if im being a little bit ambixious here... thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsttimer44:
The easiest way to get Amon Ra on your phone is to flash through ROM Manager. If you don't have Rom Manager you can download it through the market. Sense is what came on your phone stock. It is the type of user interface you see when navigating through your phone. Non-sense ROMS, like cyanogen mod for example, are ones that do not have a touch of sense in them. They have very launchers that can be customized to your own liking.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _amc_:
I finally flashed a custom rom Bionix 1.9 Jacs/OC/UV/VOODOO. Later i decided to flash a different custom battery icon. After i flashed the icon my phone would not stop reading/scanning my SD cards. It just kept goin in a loop. I decided to run my back up i made on Rom manager. That just soft bricked my phone. I attempted a factory reset but that failed as well. Then i tried to flash the Bionix rom again but it wouldnt run all the way. Later i was advised to use ODIN. I followed all the steps correctly when using ODIN. That didnt help either. Sooo after all that and my phone still being soft bricked i decided to try the factory reset again and then i installed the Bionix rom again. That seemed to work. My phone turns on and functions. Feels a lil slow and when i try to install an app it says i need to free up space on my SD card. (there isnt anything on either SD cards)

Some of the errors i recieved:

When trying to flash Bionix i get this:"failure at line 80:" "copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA: Installation aborted.

Oh and when i tried the restore option it says the following: Restoring data...

.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure

Restoring cache... sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext/.

Restore complete!

No no app2sd partition found. skipping format of /sd-ext.

E:Failer at line 79

Help this noob out please. Id appreciate help from some knowledgeable ppl.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELStiko:
You must disable Voodoo before flashing anything. So that is why you got into a soft brick When you Odin'd, did you follow the steps below? It was highly advised by Sombionix to read his whole post before flashing.

Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out.

So you forgot to disable the voodoo lagfix before you flashed a new rom and now you're getting an error, similar to the one posted below. Even Odin won't allow you to flash back to stock. Well, pay close attention and with some luck, you'll be good as rain...or something like that.

Fix 1:

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.

2. Extract the files.

3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.

10. Extract the files.

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.

14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! BAM!

Fix 2: (use only if you know how to use adb commands)

1. Place the 'disable-lagfix' file in your sdk>tools directory

2. Get into clockwork recovery like you normally would

3. Follow these adb commands to push the 'disable-lagfix' file to you sdcard>voodoo

adb push disable-lagfix /sdcard/voodoo

4. File should now be on your sdcard in your voodoo folder.

5. Reboot phone and with luck, you should hear Linda the robot telling you your file system is being converted back to rfs.

6. Because your system directory has already been wiped, you'll still get a black screen when you reboot, but your file system is back to rfs. Just pull the battery, and reflash whatever rom you want. Then reboot again.

Hope that helps
[Nexus One General] folavo:
Sorry for the newbie question but I haven't been able to find the answer to my question (too many a2sd references in forum).

I've been using a couple of ROMs that supposedly use the "a2sd" but the "SD & Storage" menu always only shows the normal Intermal memory free space. Installed apps go directly to the internal memory and will only go to sd-ext when I do "a2sd repair".

On the other hand, the MIUI rom is the only ROM that actually displays a "a2sd+" tab on the "SD & storage" menu, shows correct sd-ext free memory and installs every application to sd-ext automatically.

Is this behaviour normal?!? Shouldn't I be able to always see the "a2sd+" tab on the "SD & storage" menu ??

I am at a loss here ...

Help is greatly appreciated.
[Nexus One General] dictionary:
Try and download Spare Parts from the market. Should display if I recall. Also, I know for a fact that eViLs ROM displays and if you set to old style ext, they automatically move. I run cm6 nightlies with DarkTremors script and it works fine. Try a2sd reinstall, a2sd zipalign, and then see what happens.
[Nexus One General] folavo:
I tried the "a2sd zipalign" and "a2sd reinstall" and installed a bunch of applications to internal phone memory and seems like internal phone memory space didn't reduce. This seems to imply that a2sd is actually working but I still cannot see any reference to a2sd free space in "SD & storage".

Is this normal?
[Nexus One General] dictionary:
Nope. I thought spare parts did but I guess that's just for Enomther. I meant Enomther earlier, not eViL sorry. I'm sure there are apps on the market. Try OS Monitor
[Nexus One General] folavo:
OS Monitor didn't make it but I've found an app called "Quick System Info" that shows my A2SD free/used space. Seems like everything is working fine :P

thanks for the support

Darktremor Apps 2 EXT

I would sugest checking out apps 2 EXT by darktremor, thats what I use and its doing the job perfectly. This will allow you to move your cache and your apps. I believe that the Froyo default will only move the app and it will only work on non copyright apps. I have about 50 apps installed and I have 89megs of free space.

[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
How can I make the default overclock 1209mhz instead of 1ghz?

Your instructions specify that you have 1ghz as default.

edit- ok so with no values it equals 1ghz? But if I add the values "pll2_l_val=63" to the .sh script I can redefine the default speed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
How does the visionary.sh script no which gscript to run? It's not defined in the code. Your default gscript (for 1ghz) doesn't even define the values. Basically I just wanna know, how with no values it defaults to 1ghz.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shineproductions:
The module, vision_oc.ko, runs at 1017.6 MHz by default
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
^Oh. Ok, thought that was kinda odd.
[G2 and Desire Z General] aka DaBigKahuna:
Thanks for the work with this. When I go to push the second file:

Make sure you name it visionary.sh, and push it the same way you did the other file using the following code in the command prompt:

adb push visionary.sh /data/local

I get back:

cannot stat 'visionary.sh': No such file or directory

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z General] aka DaBigKahuna:
It worked when I added .txt to the end so:

adb push visionary.sh.txt /data/local

Is that correct? I'm also at 806 mhz via SetCPU and can't figure how to launch Visionary at boot. Help please...
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
make sure you have two files in data/local that you've added. the .oc.ko and the .sh file.

Make sure to open settings/applications/VisionARY and clear any defaults or presents. Then next time you run it try RE enabling boot on start (that worked for me)
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1rome:
ok my g2 is already overclock to 1.42ghz, im trying to learn adb. my laptop recognize my device when i type "adb devices" but the problem is when i type "adb shell" i get a "$" sign instead of " # ". Anybody can help me with this? ive searched the adb for dummies it didnt have the info that i needed =(

THanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z General] aka DaBigKahuna:
Type su if your using connectbot form the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KShatzkes:
It needs to be a .sh file. Basically what happens is when VISIONary runs on boot, it runs visionary.sh as well, so any script in that file runs.

I also explain why I put the default as 1GHz over clock. It's for stability issues. Every G2 is different, and some people can lock themselves out if they have an over clock too high for them on boot. You can change things if you want, but I wouldn't suggest it honestly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1rome:
I connected my phone to my laptop and using cmd, so when I type "adb shell" I get $ instead of # from cmd.
[G2 and Desire Z General] totaldrk62:
Type su (acronym for Super User) and you will get a # prompt. In *nix a $ is a regular user and a # is a super user. Think of it as a normal user and an administrator in windows.

So you would go:

adb shell

Then you get a $ prompt

su

Now you should have a # prompt.

Please help me with the gscript method 1.42 overclock

I have rooted and completed the overclock using the gscript method. However I can not sustain in. Every time I go back into the phone is says 806 MHz.

How do I get it to stay at 1.42GHz?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bikespridel:
Quick question - how are you verifying the the cpu is setting back to 806? For example, if you're using setcpu to review the clock speed, make sure the setcpu "profiles" aren't enabled as those will override the gscript.

Thanks to this thread, I have OC working and using setcpu to define a great set of parameters to control the OC.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalepl:
This quite true. All you need to do is go into EPST by dialing ##778 on the phone. Select EDIT MODE. When it asks for the password, enter 000000. Go to SECURITY and change S.IP DUN USER NAME. It should have your_number@dun.vzw3g.com. Change it to yournumber@vzw3g.com. Go back to the main menu and select M.IP DEFAULT PROFILE and change DUN NAI the same as you did S.IP DUN USER NAME. Go back to the main menu. Select MENU on the phone and select COMMIT MODIFICATIONS.

That is all there is to it. Now you will be able to use the 3G Mobile Hotspot to share your connection. Enjoy.
