[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] WilliamBK:
I used Rom Manager from the market and it makes flashing a new rom so easy. It creates backups, wipes and installs all with the push of a button. Makes jumping from one Rom to another and restoring completely simple, the purchased version even dleds roms for you.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] xaos11:
On the contrary

It works great except when you want to just upgrade from one rom to another without deleting data. It gives you the option of "wipe data and cache", which is pretty much like doing a factory wipe. If I choose not to do this, and just install the rom, it doesn't install properly anyway. I have to go through recovery (nandroid) and do it all manually to get it done right. If they had an option for "wipe cache and davlik" when installing a ROM, then I would most certainly say the paid version is worth it. Does anybody else have this problem with the ROM Manager?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] CallMeAria:
There's really not much RomManager does that you cant just do with Terminal Emulator...plus Terminal does much more. I just dont see the need for having both. Especially since the 'finding Rom's' perk of RomManager isnt so great with the aria. Its no secret our little phone only has a couple of choices for decent Roms at the moment.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] xaos11:
The whole point of the rom manager (in my opinion) is to allow for ease of use. As for using terminal emulator vs. rom manager, I don't see how it would be easeir to do this that way. As far as being more useful I can't think of anything I would need to do with termal emulator that I wouldn't do through say, ADB, or nandroid. Also, with terminal emulator vs nandroid, nandroid is more of a GUI I would say(point and click).

So really here we have 2 conversations: ease of use, and usefulness.

I do notice that any time a new nightly comes out, I get notified, so that is pretty nice to just have it installed for that purpose and at least downloading without more than a couple taps. I then reboot into recovery and backup, wipe cache/davlik and install. Also, the "finding roms" part seems to work fine for me as it shows the 2 most recent stable Roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auteurist:
Any way to do this that's more practical than wiping? I tried recovering just the boot partition, but it hangs at the white boot screen after that.

Any tips?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Flash a nightly or CM6 stable over and the stock kernel will be restored. If you have anything like snap turbo you'll have to wipe then start from scratch.

Hi.. how i can mount/remount sdcard in console? because something is wrong.. in every roms when i goes to sdcard in setting its show unavailable.. once time ago i wrote something in console as remount and it was okey.. but i forgot it how i can do that.. i tried many combination of command mount but nothing. maybe i can find in google with keyword "mount/remount in linux" can be possible?

but through astro i can explore sdcard.. its strange..

please help. And thanks for answers :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0pN /sdcard -t FSTYPE

N is number of partition (usually 1) and FSTYPE is vfat or ext2 (usually vfat)

Google is a good help so please use it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Michga:
i look on mount and sdcard is mounted.. but still i cannot explore it with anything except astro.. i think maybe is problem in kernel.. i have last kernel version... working sdcard full for everyone? maybe is problem only in my phone.. or its global error :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
Sd card works in latest kernel, probably is your problem, reformat the card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
Try this:

vdc volume mount /sdcard

Has anyone successfully installed Debian on their Captivate? I've got mine rooted and am following the guides for the G1, but I'm running into issues. Is the filesystem of the Cappy just not compatible?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I thought Samsung has a proprietary RFS filesystem and that's why we have all these "lagfixes" on here to change it to a standard ext* file system.

Might want to look into what the lagfix file system is and maybe that will push you in the right direction.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charging rhinos:
Good info thanks. I'll do some more research on ext filesystems then.
[EVO 4G General] xArmenx:
greetings all,

I'll try and keep this simple.

Using root explorer I browse to \system\app and mount the drive as R/W. Any file I delete here (footprints.apk, dcstock.apk) comes back after a reboot. Does anyone know why this may be happening? It forces me to remove apps/apks from roms before I flash because once it is on the phone it doesn't seem to want to go away.

I tried the same procedure using Astro file manager and ES Strongs file explorer. It goes through the steps and deletes the file.

Rooted using unrevoked 3 about a few months ago if that helps.
[EVO 4G General] achllles:
Try titanium backup to delete/uninstall.

I couldn't get rid of google search that came with custom rom, and couldn't uninstall it normally. Used titanium back up to uninstall it, and it's gone now.
[EVO 4G General] xArmenx:
Titanium uninstalled it. I rebooted..its back again lol.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
is this an odex or deodex rom... you may need to remove more than just one apk if its and odex rom...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thoughtlesskyle:
no the one he is thinking of its a pull down with an arch in the middle of it, since that build is Odex'd their isnt anyway to mess with anything on the lock screen

the one your thinking of is just setting up a pin lock on your phone you can do that under security in settings
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] marcelotorres:
Thanks bro!

I was searching for it around the forum, but don't remember the name.

Many thanks :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Michga:
I think its bad solution.. Because when i tried it on cyanogen (i think), maybe on more roms. Its long time ago.... it was very small. So i cant unlock it easily..

Maybe its because i have big fingers.. :D

Now i'm iSheep.. :) for 1year..

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PoXFreak:
Boy, it's been awhile... I haven't been here in so long because the newest build on the Kaiser is just awesome.

Anyway, on to what I was about to say...

If you want an iPhone 4, why not go with the Gooapple?

I am most definitely not an apple fanboy, but I got my hands on one (to try) and I must say, it replicates the iPhone 4 very well, on Android no less.

Check out a side-by-side comparison on youtube... impressive results and Market is enabled with all the eye candy.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Michga:
I just said HD2 has a good potential in develop.. just look there.. how much rom are there.. many.. muchier than on our kaiser.. i think..

Just when i will buy a new phone maybe htc maybe iphone im not sure yet, i will buy phone on which i see a future in developing.. kaiser develop was stucked in jan-feb this year

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ogkhaze:
I have replacement icons that I want to use, how can I apply them through MetaMorph?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opform249:
Hello all,

I would like to pose an observation to who ever the developers are for the 2.2 Froyo version for the Samsung Captivate (actual issue in bold/question italicized to skip the history). *A bit of history of what I have done with my phone* I have only had my phone for about a week now and when I got it it was 2.1. The phone worked flawlessly but I am a geek and I like to hack things to unleash it's full capacity. :D

Anyways, I updated using the AT&T updated way to 2.1v1 then Rooted my phone. WOW, what an improvement!!! Well I couldn't stop there when 2.2 was one click way using Odin 3 v1.30. This worked perfectly and BOOM, I now have v.2.2 on my phone. Flash works great, wireless tether works perfectly and all the other bells and whistles were all clicking together.

Before I updated to 2.2 (which for the Captivate is "unofficial"), I was able to plug my phone in using the Audio Aux port (for head phones) directly into my car stereo and use that as a sort of "Speaker Phone" while I was driving. The sound would come out of the car speakers clear and I could talk at a normal tone of voice while my phone was on the dash and the person on the other end couldn't even tell. After I updated to 2.2, the sound quality is at a whisper at full volume for the stereo. This only happens during a phone call, if I listen to Pandora or TuneIn, the sound is crystal clear.

I know that this is not the end of the world but it is extremely nice to use this when the phone is mounted and I am using one of the many great "driving apps" that are available for the Droid. The phone call is in the background and I see the Nav Maps or see speed traps using Trapster while I talk to my wife (I love this processor!!!).

I have also rooted my phone and that did not solve the issue. That was a long shot but it needed to be done. ;)

OK, now here is the question, does anybody know how to fix this? :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shovelhead84:
I am running 2.2 and use my phone's aux audio out for music but BT for phone. I will try and replicate your issue today. I am no dev but I'll see if it is an isolated incident or not.

Until then, a few questions to clarify:

1. have you tried testing the phone audio out with another device such as headset or home receiver?

2. What type of cable/adapters are you using? (3.5mm male to 3.5mm male)

3. Did you perform a master clear before going to 2.2
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makton3g:
I'm having the same issue and will try to troubleshoot it so you know where to look. Plugging into my stereo is just like plugging into regular speakers/headphones. Going to revert my phone back to stock, do all stock update and then add this to it with the logging on. Probably won't have all the detail till this weekend.

Mike
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opform249:
Shovelhead84- 1) Yes, I have tried to see if the works with my computer speakers and the same issue is still occuring 2) it is a male to male cable (don't know the size but sounds like 3.5mm is the default so lets go with that) 3) No I did not do master clear before updating to 2.2 Froyo. I read that it wipes everything clean during the proccess so didn't really think that I should be now, of course, I could see why a master clean would be needed. I should have known. Oh well, you live and you learn and you share your knoledge.

makton3g- Thank you for your help. It sounds like you are going to put some realy leg work into this issue. Thanks. When you say "with logging on", is that something in SDK? I havn't began that journey yet, the SDK. so I have no idea what options are avalible...

[G2 and Desire Z General] sheek360:
I called tmobile a week or so ago and explained my hinge issue. They blew me off so I called corporate. The csr their sent me a new g2. Two days ago ups dropped it infront of my door since I wasn't home. Fast forward to today; I called corp again to ask for a status or at least a tracking number. She told me that it was all ready delivered. And the notes indicate that the dumb ass ups agent just dropped it on my front door n left. She wont be able to send me a new g2 again till some investigation is complete. She mentioned that they will track the serial number of the phone and imei number. If one of my friends or family members have it I will have to pay full price for the device.

Is this true?!?! If some Jack ass I know stole my damn g2 I'm going to have to actually pay for it? What are my rights exactly? Can they really track a phone? If one of my neighbors stole it do I really have to pony up for it?

Thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
first, this incident doesn't surprise me. UPS are worthless scumbags and i personally know many people that have had their **** stolen because of UPS's mess ups like this one. thats why i always have stuff shipped to my work address because there's always someone to take it and sign for it.

second, i don't know about what tmobile said. how would they know if the person that did steal it is your friend? family i can see how that may be possible to determine, but i highly doubt they'll be running background checks and social networking sites on the individual that stole your phone just for the sake of making sure he's not your buddy. i think they said that just to make sure you didn't claim a fake claim just to get another phone out of them, figuring that maybe you'd call later and say oh yeah my buddy picked it up and was holding it for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sheek360:
damn... I should have shipped to my work address.

I hope ur right, a part of me wants to know who the bastard is so I can call the cops. But another part of me doesn't want to dish out the 500 dollars for that bit of info.

I figured they were trying to paint me against a wall. To my knowledge tmobile just can't go out and flip a switch that lets them know all the iemi and serial numbers of the phones on their network.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jashsu:
Seems logical. Probably a fraud prevention scheme. It was just a few weeks ago that some idiot suggested in a thread (in this subforum) that he could get two devices by lying to T-mo and claiming his package was never delivered. That's fraud of course, and the thread was locked.

If you think your neighbors or your family members may have taken the package in for you, you better check with them before reporting a missing package.

Whenever a phone registers to a cellular network, it has to submit its IMEI and IMSI to the tower. Not only can any cellular carrier know which phones are active on its network at any given time, it can also identify the phone's location at the least to the accuracy of its cell tower density-- even more accurately if using time-delay or signal triangulation.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sheek360:
I spoke to all of them as soon as I hanged up with tmobile. They haven't seen ups nor were they holding my package for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] aedv:
I don't understand why you're liable for anything.

The way I understand it, you have a G2 with a loose hinge. You called TMO and they sent you a replacement G2 which was allegedly stolen from your front porch. Soooo you still have your old G2 and you can send that back to TMO to satisfy your $500 debt.

Of course, that leaves you without a phone. Unfortunately, TMO has nothing to do with this. The only recourse you have with UPS is diligently complaining until they give in, or seeing if there was any insurance purchased on the package. If UPS doesn't budge, you're most likely SOL and would have to find out who stole the phone.

Even easier than sending the package to your work is to make sure that whoever sends the package requires a signature on delivery. That way, you know someone in the house receives the package, or if no one's home, they'll leave a tag on your door and you can pick up the package at the distribution center in person.
[G2 and Desire Z General] aedv:
I'd also like to point out that if UPS stopped dropping packages off and instead required signature for every package, everyone would ***** to high hell about having to be home all the time or having to go to the distribution center.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
Ups will trace the package and will locate it. This happens more often than it should. Its often up to the driver if they get a signature or not. The driver will go out there and try to find it with their gps unit before tmobile will act on it. If it was coming from tmo it should be insured and they ought to send you another after its done if they can't find it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Why haven't you made a police report? I mean, T-Mobile and UPS claim it was delivered. They don't seem to try to help you out. You don't have it. It's apparent someone is lying or someone is depriving you of your tangible property. Sounds like a theft. If the officer doesn't write it up as a theft, at the very least your generating a report. It should state you don't' have it and that you never gave permission for anyone to take it. You have been informed by both T-Mobile and UPS of it being delivered to your door step. Provide both phone numbers to the officer for the report, and also the IMEI number if T-Mobile is willing to give it to you. If not an investigator will be able to get it. It might never turn up and the investigator probably won't look to much into. He'll probably just enter a lost article into the system and attach the IMEI / serial number to it. You just need something for the insurance.

If the supervisors sees the officer turning in a report with all that information on it, it'll be hard for it not to be classified as a theft. The last thing it is lost property. It's not lost, its stolen.

If you do pay insurance on the phone, I can't see why it wouldn't be covered.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kgood63:
I had this same problem years back I was replacing a damaged dash and it was taken off my front porch...i have a ups driver who helped me out. He got me a copy of the record where no one signed for the package and i kept a copy of the sticky saying it was left on my porch....i sent them in to t-mobile and it took a few extra weeks but i did receive that dash i was replacing..
[G2 and Desire Z General] sheek360:
Thanks for the help guys. I called the cops. Since I didn't take delivery it still isn't my property. So they can't write me a report. Tmobile will have to dialled 911 on this one it seems.

Ups customer service was no help either. Supervisor said that it was left on the front door and its not their fault, its tmobiles for not asking for a signature with delivery.

By friday I will know what the end result will be, ill report then with their findings.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jashsu:
I was actually pretty paranoid about this, so I asked T-mo if they could mark the package as signature required (preordered from corporate). I was surprised that the sales rep actually had to ask a manager if this was possible, only to say it is not possible and that if there were any problems I should call them. Pretty surprising that they have no qualms about letting a $500 package be delivered without signature confirmation.
[G2 and Desire Z General] phantasybm:
My brother works for tmo and is getting phones sent to his house all the time. One time my phone broke so the new one was sent to his address because I'm under his employee plan. I went to his house to pick up the phone and there was a guy sitting in his truck in front of the house on the phone. When he saw me walk to my bros house he looked surprised and asked me if joshua lived there. I don't know anyone by that name so I told him and he left. 10 minutes later ups shows up.

Now this would be a coinsidense but the next time I had a phone sent to my brothers house I got there and the same truck was there but as soon as the guy saw me he hung up the phone and took off. Sure enough ups arrived within 15 minutes. It seems some ups drivers will tell there buddies when a phone is being delivered (as the boxes say tmobile or htc on them) so that as soon as they delivered them to the house (which their trucks are tracked by gps so they HAVE to go to the location) their buddy grabs the box and leaves.

The driver gets to say it was delivered and then the problem lies with the person who ordered the phone. Shady stuff man.

Lesson learned always be there when a phone is being shipped.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jashsu:
Place an order for some gel cases and put some hidden cameras out in front and around your house. Could be fun.
[G2 and Desire Z General] j.books:
I also like to have stuff delivered to work because I know it will be safe. however, t-mobile said they could only ship it to my home address. when I saw the UPS truck outside, I went out to meet the guy, and he actually asked me for ID. he said, this is a phone so I wanna make sure the right person gets it. I was thankful that he was being conscientious about it. too bad they don't all make that effort.
