[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
Nope.

Root and be done with it, that's why people get the Nexus... :)

Edit: Hang on... I didn't read properly... :rolleyes:

But the answer's still no... :) Just load a custom rom/kernel, you're already rooted.

Edit 2: Even with a custom rom you can not change partition sizes.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
I think some of the fun of Android is trying out various ROMs some have cooked up for their devices. Given what we know about this device in particular and what it may or may not share with other devices, what might we expect regarding active development on this device?

In other words, since some devices share worldwide adoption, their development is quite active given the sheer numbers who own those devices, whereas those devices which only have local or regional adoption usually have a less active development section.

Does this Glacier device have enough in common with another device or devices to allow for porting of new functions and/or ROMs easily enough?

Is it wrong that it pisses me off that my wife got a update on her mytouch 3g phone to froyo 2.2.2 and my ass is stuck So far with 2.1?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
lol, my wife has my mytouch too. hers just got updated to 2.2 and im on 2.1 w Vibrant. same situation here

oh well, 2.2 is kind of laggy on the mytouch. mytouch waited a long time for it. if we have to wait as long as the mytouch did, i think i flush my vibrant down the toilet

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beast84:
Its not wrong to get mad.

Now if Google drops Gingerbread before we get Froyo... thats grounds for an ass kicking for Samsung & T-mobile!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] los0325:
Ya I got a mytouch back when, and was told that update coming its coming and nothing so that proves to me T-Mobile is full of **** when it comes to updates
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
they may be full of it, but it does show that they did provide on their promise. now that its running 2.2 (the mytouch), I can see why it took so long to release it. mytouch hardware was not really made to support it, and it shows, but maybe thats just because im so used to my vibrant that when i pick up her mytouch there is no comparison
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
To be fair, apart from the dev phone (Nexus One) it was six months after the announcement and nearly four months after the actual unveiling of 2.2 code, before ANY DEVICES (apart from the Nexus One) had 2.2 officially in any form.

I expect the same to happen when 2.3 drops. This just seems to be how Google prefers to foster development, whilst staying out of the way of what manufacturers want to do with their little OS.

With that out of the way I guess I'll just chime in and say I wish Samsung hadn't wasted precious development time with refinements to 2.1 (JI6 insofar as we are concerned) and simply gotten 2.2 out the door.

p.s. One of my friends has an original MT3G, and it's slower than smoke off of s**t running 2.2, but even that is a vast improvement over what it was running. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2t32:
Well, I wouldn't put too much on t-mobile because they're not the one that is developing the driver for the phone or even the os. They probably just develop the bloatware they want pre-installed on the phone. With that said, I think it is pretty much up to samsung on releasing a full working Froyo because they are the ones that will need to update the hardware driver to work with Froyo. It's like going from XP to Win7.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david717:
After updating to Cog 8.1 from 5.5 I used tibu to all user apps and system settings.

It also restored the lock pattern I was using. Well not the actual pattern because now any pattern that is inputted is accepted by the system. Not a big deal, I fixed it by re setting the pattern in system settings.

Are there any other quirks I should be on the look out for? I've heard the market app can get kind of screwy but so far it appears okay.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It is suggested that when doing a restore that you dont restore system settings as they can mess things up if the system was changed, It can cause Force closes and system instability
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antyman:
Found that out the hard way. Had to flash Dark Knight 5.5 like five times before I realized what was causing these problems. I still restore the APN settings to save myself some time though, doesn't seem to cause any issues.

[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
hi everyone,

I made this thread to prepare for starting a new thread in the xperia x10 Forum, the thread will be called "THE Guide"

In Case you are wondering why i made a Project thread about it, that is the way i want that thread to be it can't be done by one member, So i need your help

WHY ?

i am tired of new threads people make about very old problem that were solved millions of times, every forum have one of these thread and we shall make this one the best one.

IDEA

it will include everything we can imagine,

My view is like this:

- 1st Post will be the Index, it will contain links to the different parts of the guide

- the next for example 2 pages, each post will be about a different topic, example:

--> Root Post will contain links to differnet rooting methods, FAQ, known issues, etc

--> ROM post, will contain links to ROMS - if any -, Dev in Progress, etc

i hope you get the idea..

WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO:

- this thread will be always fresh and updated, and i can't make that alone, my time won't allow me to manage more than the index post and at most one other topic

- Anyone willing to join this epic Guide, write in this thread and tell me what topic you want to handle

- Any ideas about the topics are always welcome.

- you should have a decent amount of posts, etc.. ( i can't allow someone with 1 post to take part in this, sorry )

Posiible Topics that i came of till now:

- Branding/Debranding

- Rooting

- Market issues

- Battery problem

- themes, and related Howto's

- Dev tools, and related progress ( i think someone should arrange that for new Devs coming to help )

( those what came in my mind in just 2 mins )

BEWARE: THIS IS NOT THE GUIDE THREAD, AS SOON AS THERE ARE ENOUGH PEOPLE AND WE ARRANGE WHO WILL DO WHAT, I WILL CREATE THE THREAD.

so for now lets here what you guys think about it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talktoanil:
Today,i was chatting with my friend on gtalk on phone and i noticed strange string.

Here is how the chat looks

Max : M cool.

Max : Hello

Me : Hi

Me: How are your ?

Instead of

Me : Hi

Max : Hello

Me: How are your ?

Max : M cool.

I had reset my phone to factory default , still the problem persist.

Firmware Version : 2.1-update1

Baseband Version : I900DDJG4

Build : ECLAIR.DDJG4

Help me guys, what to do now ? Same happens when i am on data connection from phone or even from WiFi.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echidna2001:
Did the messages arrive in the wrong order, or arrived in the right order but were displayed in the wrong order?

Assuming the second, it may be displaying the messages in the order of the timestamps on the messages. This would mean that either the time on your phone, or the time on the other persons machine may be out.

The third possibility is that a clock inside gtalk system may be having issues.

Unfortunately I don't use gtalk much so, I can't check if it's a general problem at the moment (nobody I know is online to chat to)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonent:
Currently my work area is in a room in the basement of the building I'm in. I get no Verizon service in that area. When I emerge from my cave via the elevators or stairs, it sometimes takes up to 5 minutes for my Eris to realize it is in coverage. So to speed the process along. I flip airplane mode on and then off again.

What would be nice is a tool or app (if it exists) to do this for me via a single click. Sort of like flicking the lights off and on.

Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
What rom are you running?

If a cyanogen based rom, longpress a blank spot on your homescreen, choose widget, then set up a new power control widget & select only the airplane mode. The customization of the power control bar might work for all froyo roms.

If an HTC rom simply longpress, select HTC widget, look for the settings Widgets & choose airplane mode.

If neither works, install "quick settings" from the market. Or search for "airplane widget" in the market & choose from the options.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonent:
Kaos Froyo. I've got the regular widget that has the different buttons on it, but was thinking more of something where I don't have to wait for it to go off and then back on again.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Beautiful widgets has one.

And I don't understand, you don't want to wait for it to go on/off? I don't really "get" what you're trying to say.

[Android Software Development] BixBix78:
Can anyone point me to, or if willing, develop an app or widget thats only function when pressed is to hide/unhide the entire notification bar?

I'm on miui, and its launcher. However, hiding the notification bar is not currently an option in the launcher.

I do not want to use ADW or LP on top of MIUI.

I'm thinking something simple like the app HELLOSTATUSBAR.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I have been searching for days trying to figure this out.
[Android Software Development] no6969el:
Did you have any luck?

Just wondering if you ever found a solution. I am in search of a solution for my preference. I would like to have the notification bar off the screen so I can have a full screen.. if I want to see it I would just touch the top and it would appear and drag down as usual to see notification bar. I do not want to change my launcher as I would rather modify that one feature only.

If anything is currently available or if anyone could enlighten me on how to do this myself I would be very appreciative.
[Android Software Development] manchucka:
Try adw launcher with which you can associate programs and actions (including hide/show notification bar) with gestures (swipe up/down). An elegant solution if I do say so myself, which I do, often.

I know the winmo phones can dual boot winmo and android. They boor android from the sdcard.

Im wondering if we can get are phones to dual boot so we can have are working rom ect.... And we can dual boot into the secondary android from the sd card to test are mods

Sent from my Emotionless Beast	of an Epic using the XDA App
[Droid X General] spiicytuna:
The short answer is: no.
[Droid X General] muyoso:
They can dual boot because Android is an open OS and is free. It would be illegal to put Winmo on our devices without paying for the proper license.

Also, for what possible reason would you even want to do this? To use as a reminder of how primitive Winmo looks and was compared to Android?
[Droid X General] MysteryEmotionz:
I wanna dual boot with 2 separate sets of android for testing purposes

Sent from my Emotionless Beast	of an Epic using the XDA App
[Droid X General] spitefulrain:
I think yes, it would be possible. I wouldn't know how, but its been done on android before, and there is an alpha version being worked on already for the Sammy Moment at SDX and Samdroid.

And if this could be achieved it would be a great to help to developers.
[Droid X General] RKight:
I think I would like it just for the purpose of trying out new roms without having to give up my current rom, in case I don't like the new one.
[Droid X General] daddymikey1975:
if you do a full backup, flash a new ROM, restore data (only) and you don't like the new ROM, you can go back into recovery, restore full backup and voila.. you're back to the ROM you just backed up.

takes 3 minutes to do all this.

no need for dual boot IMO
[Droid X General] MysteryEmotionz:
Certain themes with the battery percentage mode will cause boot problems from recovery

Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an Epic using the XDA App
[Droid X General] RKight:
I'm aware of that process but if I'm just wanting to tinker with a new rom, I really don't want to go through all that trouble. If I want to try a new Linux distro on my PC, I'm not going to ghost it, install the new distro, then restore the old image later. I'm going to throw the new distro on a second hard drive and dual boot while I decide if I like it. That way, I have a known stable OS, configured the way I want, just a reboot away.
[Droid X General] thomasskull666:
I have noticed this as well, and a flash with odin plus reinstalling clockworkmod is the only thing that prevents it from corrupting your backups for future use.
[Droid X General] edonnelly:
I don't know. That's fine if you just want to try out a ROM one time, and quickly, or if you can do without your main ROM for a long time. I had a windows phone before I switched to Android. Having the "dual boot" was key to my switching to Android. I was able to install Android, set it up the way I wanted to (which took lots of time) and "play" with it whenever I had time, but at other times I needed to be able to switch back to my main phone. I'd switch a couple times a day sometimes (just a single click to go either way). After a couple of weeks of being able to work with Android I knew I'd be happy switching.

You could do something like this with backups and restores, but I honestly think it would get overly cumbersome. You'd have to backup your main ROM and then the second ROM. Every time you changed a setting or moved something around in either ROM you'd have to remember to make a new backup, or the next time you switched into that ROM all of your changes would be reverted back.

In any case, I don't know how possible it is to have dual boot, but I can certainly see a lot of advantages for some people.
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
HARET is what makes the WinMo android boot possible and is based on work done with soft/hard SPL. No Android equiv to HARET exists yet. However, a lot of work is happening with HBOOT due to the Vision G2 eMMC situation. I wouldn't be too far off if I were to speculate that an android HARET may be in our future.
[Droid X General] erishasnobattery:
Go check out this thread from the Eris forums. - Dual boot recovery hack

As I'm not intimately familiar with the inner workings of Clockwork, I don't know how plausible it is on the DX. It could either be really easy to port since we're already bootstrapped, or nearly impossible. That's a problem for a dev much smarter than me to conquer.

I will say that I tried it out on my Eris. The stock class 2 card was unbearably slow, a class 4 was tolerable, and a class 6 (which cost a small fortune) ran as if it was installed internally. Kinda neat, but not terribly practical for daily use.
