Lol, it seems to be slower. In any case you can uninstall the update if you dont like it.

As i understand its supposed to be easier on the battery...

EDIT: Just uninstalled the update and it is indeed faster without it. With Flash blocked in Dolphin HD, the nytimes.com site is almost as smooth as opera. Guess ill keep it uninstalled.

For those of you who would like to run Audiogalaxy but seem to have issues connecting:

- download the hosts file from /system/etc

- open it in a text editor

- remove the references (there are often 2) to Audiogalaxy

- replace!

Seems that most of the hosts files used in custom ROMs have Audiogalaxy listed from their filesharing days.

I just noticed this fix is detailed elsewhere, but I thought I would throw it in here for the fascinate owners. Feel free to move this if it needs to go elsewhere.
[Fascinate Android Development] dlongb13:
Happened to me as well. Looked in my host files and found nothing. So I got adfree. Updated the databases, then reverted and rebooted. Worked like a charm.
[Fascinate Android Development] dmaustin:
I also had trouble with audiogalaxy on custom roms. I just went back to stock... I'll have to try this. Audiogalaxy is really important to me, I don't have a single mp3 actually stored on my phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] dlongb13:
^^^Give it a shot! Make sure you reboot! mine did not take effect until I did. I am a huge audiogalaxy fan so this is huge to me too.
[Fascinate Android Development] jadambpharm:
what ROM are you on? and how did you open the host file? when i opened it on the phone via text-editor, i saw no audiogalaxy, but did see it on the computer.
[Fascinate Android Development] johnnyv5:
Can someone please post the apk for this app. I can't download from the market for some reason!

[Fascinate Android Development] Sithben24:
I copied and pasted to sd card then fixed it and moved it back with file explorer. Make sure you reboot though.

Anyone know if there is a way to keep the songs playing? After one song it stops for me. NVM, got it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Althestrasz:
Hey,

Oke, what happened to it!

I was just MSNing and poof it turned off. i turned it on again and i ended up at the IPL screen (you know with the Red, green, Blue and White bars).

I tried rebooting again and again, and it says "Searching for SD card" and then goes to the IPL screen.

What to do? :(
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] sribabba:
just a guess .. but but did you check the sd card on any other devise ?

becuase my first impression is that your SD card is malfunctioning.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Althestrasz:
I tried it without. but it seems it still doesn't work :/ i might just clean it out, and reformat it, thanks :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] imanh:
When in the bootloader screen just connect it to the usb and then install one of the " tribula " roms through ruu_signed_shiped.exe something like that ,( refer to instaling through pc just search the xda)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Althestrasz:
I fixed it. The problem was, my camera button was broken, meaning that it was forced to go to the bootloader screen everytime i try to start it up.

thanks for the support though :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] henrywb:
EDIT: Had another search and found the answer. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time...

All,

I appreciate that I'm probably a bit of a newbie, and this question may be a little daft, but I've been running Android on my Kaiser for a while. I've recently decided that a kernel upgrade would be a wise move and I'm trying to launch Android with the most recent versions of 2.6.32 and HaRET 0.5.2.

HaRET kicks off, then the usual Linux terminal text starts, then freezes at "device-mapper: uevent: version 1.0.3". This is then the last thing that happens - the device freezes.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] henrywb:
For anyone interested, you need the HaRET from here: h**p://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D - it's written to work with kernel 2.6.32

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] elmicha:
Thank you!

I had this newer HaRET already, but when I finally decided to use a 2.6.32 kernel I forgot that I probably needed this. Without your post I guess I would have given up.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
After a week or so with the Captivate, one thing that bugs me is that when putting google maps in the background by pressing the home key-in other words, trying to multitask...it stops the gps. When going back to maps it has to regain a lock again..no small task for the captivate. Is there any way to "force" the app not to hibernate when in the background? This also happens if the backlight goes out. Very poor rendition of multitasking, unless I'm missing something
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
It is done so to conserv battery power. It is by design of GMaps. Keep a satellite lock consumes a lot of juice. Since you're not even look at the map when it is in the background or screen turns off, why waste your battery juice?

Some apps, like Google's My Track app will keep satellite lock on when it is recording your track even if you put the app to background or turn the screen off. That makes sense.

If the GPS on Captivate works properly, it should take no more than 10 seconds to re-accquire the lock. No big deal for other normal working Android phones.
[Captivate General] mindfrost82:
Also, if you use the Navigation feature of Google Maps, it'll continue tracking you with the screen off.

I usually only use Maps to look for things, then I'll use Navigation if I'm actually using it for directions.
[Captivate General] creepyncrawly:
If you have the get position test app in LBSTestMode running in the background first before you run maps, it will keep the GPS locked on. I have a shortcut to open LBSTestMode.
[Captivate General] knaufism:
copilot live is only $5 through the market, it will keep the GPS running in the background, also allows you to download maps per region, so no churning through dataplans... its nice, a little buggy getting it setup... but tracks perfectly on my froyo captivate
[Captivate General] soccer1:
Tracker Booster keeps the gps running in the background, as does mytracks and LBStestmode, as was mentioned

Hello,

how can I get high quality wallpaper without any blur on my HD2? I found some cabs on xda forum (high quality wallpapers cabs). Can I only install these cabs to my phone? Or I need to have some patch at first? :)

Many thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polo735:
The screen's resolution is 480x800. Just google wallpaper 480x800.

If you ever try out android, there is an app called zedge which has some great wallpaper in it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaarry:
zedge.net, no need for the app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
The app lets you download and set wallpaper and ringtones so it's better than the site. Give it a try if you like Zedge's content.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PetoG:
I understand the resolutions....... But when Im setting the wallpaper 480 x 800 as the background, there is somtehing like blur on home screen across this wallpaper.... there is not the same quality as the whole wallpaper.

understand?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Search for HDWall. It comes with a HQ patch that allows real 480x800 wallpapers. When you set the wallpaper in Sense, it resizes it to something smaller and then resizes it again to fit the screen. I have no idea why HTC would do something so stupid, but they have.

There is no way to just set a wallpaper and keep it 480x800. Alternatively, install Co0kie's Home Tab. I believe that comes with an option to set HQ wallpaper.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] israel.biscaia:
Hi guys,

I have a X10 mini pro which has been unlocked by the carrier and is working fine in another network now, but I would like to remove the OS that came with it (Claro carrier in Brazil) and install a clean one (like if I had bought an unlocked phone) since I cannot see many apps in the Market (like Google Talk (!), PDAnet and the paid Easy Tether), it seems they've been locked out by the installed OS.

Is there any way to do this? I tried to look at SE's website but haven't found anything there.

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
Try the debranding threath its in this subforum
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darfito:
I'm afraid you cannot use tethering in your X10 mini due the kernel used in the ROM.

Also many apps aren't showed due the small screen resolution and they'll still hiden even with a generic ROM. Try Apktor or the "black market" to get them, but sometimes the app couldn't be installed.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] israel.biscaia:
Thanks! APKtor worked just fine on my X10 pro!!! Thanks a lot!

I also tried it on my htc magic but too bad its OS is still 1.5, I cannot install many appa from there like the new google maps or angry birds :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
Go to the HTC magic forum , you can even upgrade to CM 6 (froyo)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] israel.biscaia:
Thanks, I'll take a look there... But I'm afraid to mess with it and brick it because it's my company's phone...

Anyway it seems that Rogers has started upgrading Magic to 2.2 these days, I hope this update is available here in Brazil soon!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
If you're afraid that you'll break , then its better to wait for the official update.

[Droid 2 General] rgorgacz:
I've found information concerning the signature verification, but not for the droid 2. what I was looking into is a way to turn the marker for the signature verification off in order to avoid a problem with "install.zip" from the standard recovery (if needed). I am fairly intelligent, but the android is still new and any information is appreciated . :confused:
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Got the official OTA for J16 and my replacement isn't hardware locked anymore! Got into recovery the first time! I've just seen all the adb workarounds but never heard mention of it being naturally fixed.
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
It was fixed in ji4 I think. Good to see it stayed in the ji6 firmware.
[Vibrant General] aaron1992:
So now if you get the OTA j16 update it makes your vibrant able to go into downloader mode if it couldnt before?
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Yep. In my case at least, can't imagine it being specific to my phone .
[Vibrant General] NikolaiT:
As reported by untermesch, JI6 replaces the SBL of the device with one that allows manually entering recovery and download mode via the buttons (aka it unlocks the hardware)

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

I have read a cyanogenmod wiki page about clockwork recovery / ROM manager, and naturally I am very confused.

* Where does this install? (SBL/is it called from somewhere like GRUB?)

* What does this modify?

* How does one access this? I presume via Recovery Mode - Does one tell it to boot from an update.zip file that contains a programme to run; What does this programme do, and what does it modify?

* If I install ROM Manager / Clockwork Recovery, then if I decide to return the SGS to Samsung for warranty reasons, and I have not installed any other ROMS (e.g it is running stock), then will Samsung notice anything if they look, other than the update.zip file on the SD card.

* Can the installation and booting ClockWork Recovery damage *anything* on the SGS? (I mean only running it, and not installing any ROM images etc.

Best regards, me.

* Installing ClockworkMod Recovery

If you flashed a previous version of ClockworkMod Recovery using Odin, Flash back to a Stock Kernel using this Odin package: will add soon

Search for ROM Manager in the Market (free or paid) and install the app.

Open the ROM Manager application and choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.

Click on your device Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and then you may need to give the app root permission if it prompts you. If it does prompt for Superuser access, make sure Remember or Always is selected before you choose Allow.

If it hangs after that and freezes up, just allow the app to Force Close. Then open it back up and repeat steps 2 & 3.

Optional: Choose Backup Current ROM from the ROM Manager to create a backup.

On the very first boot of the ClockworkMod Recovery, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if the ClockworkMod Recovery does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.

If the flash was successful a dialog box should pop up saying "Successfully flashed ClockworkMod recovery!". Press OK.

Guys,

Big question here:

How can we use Tasker to detect the Cell phone Provider Name ?

Don't use it for autokilling but it is nice for if you just want to close an errant app that won't close.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skipbarker:
+1

Auto task killers are way more trouble than they are worth.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Here's the thing, no matter how your task killer works it's ALWAYS going to pull your program from your RAM (where it's using little to no battery) to your CPU (where it uses way more batter) and this is going to run your battery dry.

If your automatic task killer happens to kill a task when you're getting a phone call or trying to do something else you will notice serious lag for a moment and that's a pain.

Frankly, I have a task killer but I use it only when my phone is plugged in and usually only right after my phone starts up or after a day.
[Desire General] 325i.:
Has anyone got a guide on how to remove/add APK's from a ROM ZIP file? I found a few roms but they have some stuff that i dont require.

Is it done by using themepro?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Bit of a pointless thread when I've already answered your question...should've waited for me before doing this!! :D
[Desire General] superliam:
how is this pointless? i too would love to know how!!!!!!
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It was pointless as I already answered the question in the ROM thread it was first put in. As I'm in work I couldn't reply instantly...

Basically:

Unzip ROM, remove APK(s) from /system/app, add APK(s) to /system/app (or /data/app if you want them to be removable), rezip ROM, flash it
[Desire General] superliam:
thank you for your fast response. just one quick question... when zipping back up, do i just use "store" ?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
No you can use medium compression for a rom.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I just rezip it using the stock Windows 'Compressed Folders' option - seems to work fine
[Desire General] 325i.:
thanks you for the replies
[Desire General] madd0g:
Or open the archive in the Winrar and delete / add files directly.
[Desire General] 325i.:
I have extracted the ZIP, removed a few apks and then rezipped it but i cant install the new rom.

I am doing it through Rom manager/clockworkmod but it fails to install. Anyone know what im doing wrong?
[Desire General] Laban:
If I'm already running a ROM can I remove files from the zip file and flash the same ROM and by this way get rid of the unwanted apps? Or do I need to perform a wipe first?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
you can just use adb to remove the .apk's no need to reflash
[Desire General] Laban:
Don't know anything about that, so for me the easiest would be to flash the same ROM again. But will it work as I described it?
[Desire General] jam97:
I found this

http://www.askabouthugo.com/mobile-technology/how-to-remove-unused-android-apps-from-custom-rom/
[Desire General] Perseus:
Sorry for digging such a old thread. For those who might be searching for the same reason, please note...

1. Removing the APKs from the ROM and Reflashing it won't make those Apps go Away from the Device. You need a Clean Wipe before and after the Flash. Sometimes you will need to Clear the Dalvik Cache as well.

2. Removing the APKs using ADB will not take out the APPs completely. You will also need to remove the corresponding .ODEX files if its Stock DEODEX files if otherwise.

3. In most cases, the editing the ROM typically requires you to Sign the ZIP file again. So you'd need the Manufacturer's Signing Key unless your device allows for unsigned ROMs.
[Desire General] nnasco:
just delete the app and flash, then see if everything is working
[Desire General] Texas_Dave:
Tried deleting and reflashing

First, I am so new to this that noob is not a good title for me. I plan on learning all this, but for certain reasons, I need to get the Camera functionality off my HTC One M8. I figured that getting the software off would be easier and quicker than trying to disassemble the glue factory inside the phone. So I went to the unlockr to learn how. (Probably a mistake on my part.) According to him all I need to do is

2. In the app folder you will see all the .apk files for all the applications you have currently in the ROM. Simply delete the ones you do not want to remove them from the ROM.

3. To add applications, simply copy any .apk file for the applications you want to add into the app folder.

Then rebuild the ROM in Kitchen (99) and load it up. Now I have tried just removing camera.apk in Viper, InsertCoin, and Android Revolution. Everytime the ROM will not load, but the unmodified Viper, InsertCoin, and Android Revolution ROMs will load just fine. Should one of the files be edited? Or is there another way to disable the camera aside from tearing it apart. Any assistance while I try to learn this will be greatly appreciated.

As you can see, I have tried just deleting and reflashing, but the ROM won't install.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Why have you dug up a redundant post in the Desire forum for a question about the M8?
[Desire General] Texas_Dave:
Why I have dug up a reduntant post

EddyOS, I dug up this post for several reasons. First you must have missed my noob comment regarding myself. Second, to stay on the good side of the xda moderators, I was reading all the please read before posting posts, which all say do a search first. The search dug up this post. Third everywhere I tried to post my question, the first thing that was mentioned on the forum was do not post questions here. Fourth, my mistake, I didn't realize I was on the HTC Desire forum, I take full responsibility for that. Fifth, I was just looking for help by getting pointed in the right direction in order to figure out how to fix my issue, and simply wanted to reply to a post on how to fix my problem that it didn't work for me. Obviously I now know it was the wrong platform and by your response, I take it that these two platforms will not have similar issues. Finally if I have offended your sense of what's right and wrong, I most sincerely apologize. I will confine myself to reading and not posting so as not to commit anymore faux pas.
