[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alendar:
Hello every one, I've got a question (maybe already asked but I find nothing sorry) about de Desire:

My N1 was stolen a few weeks ago and I have the possibility to have a Desire. But the fact is that I don't want sense and I'd like to have the official Google OTA update, without waiting for HTC.

So my question is: is it possible to root the desire and install the same rom as on the N1?

Thanks by advance for the answers, and sorry for the english, I'm a poor french frog :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zurga:
Just look around the forum

If you look around in the htc desire development forum you'll find a lot of custom roms and how to's on rooting, s-off and theming.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
This thread is in the wrong place

N1 ROms are essentially ASOP roms, they're all over this forum.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alendar:
But if I take a custom rom, I won't be able to have the officials OTA Google updates, like it was with my N1, and that's what I want : /
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waebi:
see, the google updates are like cake, and the custom aosp updates here are like cake with chocolate sauce on top of it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alendar:
ok (I love cake so I love the image^^), if there's really no way I'll take a tour on the forum and check which ROM seems to be the best for me, thanks for the help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintvilla:
althought the desire and n1 are similar there not the same, you cant just put the n1 rom on the desire so when google does an ota update, you'l magically get it on your desire too, the cake anology is good as generally the asop roms are more or less the n1 roms with tweeks to make them even better ( like overclocking etc) id recomend the defrost rom, it has ota updating built into the rom and am pretty sure as soon as gingerbread comes out we'l have it on the desire at the same time as the n1 people have it ( also you have the option of having a sense rom which is nice, always good to have options)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K900:
Crazy. You can NOT run N1 roms on the Desire

To OP: just use CyanogenMod

Do a repair with SEUS or PC companion. If it doesn't help, go get your x10 replaced

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cysco24:
I just flashed Fusion 1.1 with Jac kernel.

I enabled ext2 lagfix, everything is working great.

Questions about backing this up or restoring.

1. Would i be able to do a nandroid backup while i have this ext2 lagfix enabled?

2. If i wanted to go back to a stock nandroid, i assume i would flash stock kernel and then flash the backup, but what happens to the ext2 lagfix?

3. If i wanted to flash a new bionix rom will I have to do anything special about the ext2 lagfix before flashing?

Just things running around in my head, i'm usually very careful and don't feel like using ODIN ever :)

Thanks for your time
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
1. Yes

2. You dont need to flash stock kernel/im PRETTY SURE lagfix will be gone

unless

it was flashed before creating that particular Nandroid backup...however, even if im wrong, nothing bad will happen to your phone, youll just still be running JAC and youd have to independently flash stock kernel

3. No

disclaimer - all of these answers are assuming you are running regular JAC, as opposed to JAC with Voodoo (not trying to insult you but i just have to make sure, you never know)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cysco24:
Great, thanks. Yup runing jac without voodoo

Getting email ASAP is important for me but that is not happening with my phone. Had the phone for 4 days and the first few days it was fine but when I woke up yesterday morning I noticed I had no notifications. During the day I did not get any either. I have two Hotmail accounts and a Gmail but nothing with either unless I go in and refresh each account. Using the stock email app and tried to change the auto refresh times to no luck.

Is anyone else having this problem?
[Fascinate General] bL33d:
I allways use k9 mail instead of gmail or stock mail app. K9 allways seems instant to me where the other would lag.

Tested it useing my work phone (blackberry) sending emails to my phone was instant with k9 and could yake 10-20 min on others.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
I just got my fascinate today and decided to root and flash CWM. rooting went fine, but flashing CWM is where it all went wrong, i tried to install through ROM Manager, but that didn't work. So i looked around and saw directions using Odin, So i used that but i got the "FAIL!" message.

the phone rebooted and at the little connect to pc screen with the small yellow triangle.

No matter what I try I can't get it back to stock or anything, i've tried every thread on unbricking with Odin.

Can anyone shed some light and point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

-Infinity

EDIT: Disregard this post. I fixed it by reflashing CWM, which worked this time around, which is weird.

But everything back like it was before the initial trying to flash CWM. :D

Glad you got it straightened out. :)

Sense wigdets and short cuts are mis shaped and crooked on rooted stock rom.

I suspect it has something to do with sense tring to go to landscape every once in awhile.

Any ideas how to fix?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
It stays that way through a reboot?

Also, screenshot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
on the second reboot it went back to normal. weird that it happened and also weird that the second reboot seemed to fix the symptom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
well i am having this issue again and i googled this and i found my own thread at the top of the list.

i cant be the only fool with this issue, it has done to me 10 more times since i first posted this. so it doesn't happen often and a reboot normally clears this

i think this symptom is caused by sense trying to go to landscape mode and somehow getting stopped in the process

i would assume that i might be able to disable sense home screen and re enable it may take care of this.

the only way i can think of doing this might be to change home screen to something else and then set sense to be default home screen, might be faster than rebooting, i just tried this and it doesnt work.

awesome
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
That's weird, I've never seen my Widgets or shortcuts do that before. And the Evo's stock version of sense doesn't rotate to landscape, so I'm not sure why it would attempt to. Could you use drocap2 or Shootme to get a screen shot of this? I would suggest doing a full wipe and then reflash a rom to fix it. That should take care of it
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kille9:
Hi,

I previous windows OS, there was an option to set the ringtone to vibrate automatic when I have a calendar appointment.

Does this feature still exist in windows phone 7?

Edit: One more question.

When I make a phone call, I can start typing the first letters in of the name I calling, and a list of matching names come up. Does this feature exist in WP7 also?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
Calendar Appointment, I think it does that.

Smart dial

No, not at the moment.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plastix:
I think the OP meant that the phone automatically turns the phone on silent/vibrate when you have an appointement/meeting, not that it vibrates to notify you of a meeting.

Is that right?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kille9:
Yes! Thats right.

Does it turn the phone to vibrate during an appointment.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DearMond:
So anyone figured it out? Got so used to it in WinMo, can imagine just forgetting to silence the device before meeting :-/

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I've searched around without any luck. Looks like I didn't do a nandroid backup of my stock ROM with Rogers, and now I'm experiencing the hardware problem with the primary speaker not working. Tried reflashing the current ROM on the phone without any luck, and now Rogers is replacing it, but I'd rather not dish out more money when the see it's been changed.

Anyone have any suggestions, or perhaps a stock rom image from a nandroid backup they did with rogers?

[Liquid S100 Android Development] andymp3:
Ok...so I have been reading and have been quite disappointed...As most of you are aware Rogers and Fido now have the new 2.2 OS out for the Acer liquid e however I am running a leaked version with Malez...and from what I can tell acer did something and because of what I did and from what I can tell I will now not be able to update to the stock rom. From what I can tell it somehow recognizes that the phone is rooted and because of that it cannot be updated..Will this work around help with this problem?
[Liquid S100 Android Development] split2th:
Go to Modaco and search for "fido rogers any phone", something like that.
[Liquid S100 Android Development] andymp3:
I did however for some reason I keep getting an error when flashing with the acer tool...I just gave up after a while..tried for over 2 days...I am not sure if it is my computer or some kind of issue with the software
[Liquid S100 Android Development] split2th:
You did what? If you went to Modaco and got the rom by alan009 then you need to flash it with Malez, not acer tools. Acer tools is only meant to flash .bin files. Plus if you read that thread there are a ton of people doing it and asking questions, so no need to get stuck.

Good Luck.
[Liquid S100 Android Development] andymp3:
Oh...maybe I did get the info from that post..I was using a set of instructions that I downloaded...It was how to put back your acer to stock rogers rom...It had all the instructions and instructed me to use the acer tool and flash something...It was a while back...I will have to go back and check it out then...I bought the new dell streak and a galaxy s so I kind of put the acer on the back burner...When i get some time i will check it out...thanks man

Looking for stock Recovery.img

Hey guys ^^

I'm looking for the stock recovery.img that comes with Liquid E. The link mentioning where I can find what I need in the above posts has expired but It has lead me to what I believe I need. All except the original recovery.img

I need to send my phone in for repairs. I accidently blew my speakers(both front speaker and back) Its pretty much my fault. Im a welder and I got metal shards in the speakers and I used a magnet to get them out. A big no no lol. Im hoping to pull a fast one on Acer considering I've had the speaker problems where I cant hear the person calling me.

Anywho, I believe I have my old nandriod back up. Im just hoping it not my nandriod back up from my G1. =s Any tips on what I can do to find the stock recovery.img from rogers would be cool and maybe some advice what to check befor I send in my Liquid E? Much Appreciated ^^

PS! My nandroid back up Is rooted I thinks. Do I need to un-root befor I send it in?

If all goes well Ill make sure to put up a link to help the next person in my position. Including my nandroid back up

Ciao - Terry

Hi,

I've recently found an app called 'Tedd's Answer Call Tool - Remixed!' installed my phone. It only shows up on the incoming call screen. I can't find any way to access the settings or options for it.

I have no idea how it got installed and I've been unable to uninstall it this far - its not listed in manage applications.

I've tried searching for it and havn't found anything. Only thing I found was an app called 'Tedd's Droid Tools' which seems similar but isn't the same. I never installed that app on my phone either.

I have had a problem with custom icons being resized (too small) when using them in the dock. If you replace the native launcherpro icons within the apk they look much better imo. The icons are in res/drawable-hdpi.

Just rename the icon you want to use to one of the built in icons in launcherpro and it will show up in the native launchepro icon list.

Hey guys. I thought of trying to watch a netflix movie on the phone. Used dolphin browser on desktop mode and it got me to the play screen, but then netflix told me I needed silverlight...i clicked to download that and of course I get a .exe file.

I searched and did not see an apk for silverlight...is there anything similar that will trigger playback of media that requires silverlight?

Or maybe better but highly doubtful, is there a release of silverlight for android?

If no to the above, anybody working on a fix for this? Got hulu working, now let's get netflix going!

Unfortunately, no, you can't get it outside of Silverlight. Silverlight is required for the DRM that Netflix uses to prevent you from downloading movies (a la YouTube). The sole exception is the devices which have Netflix support (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc.) which in turn have their own strong DRM, and encrypt the stream.

I call BS, no one from Microsoft said this. SL is one the main programming languages in Windows Phone 7 (I've been a SL dev since version 1.1 alpha) and runs on pretty comparable Android hardware just fine.

It's a simple decision to not support Linux. SL supports the Mac and Windows platform and pays licenses for every copy downloaded because of some commercial media codecs they're using in the runtime. Linux support has been relegated to Novel who support Silverlight through the Mono/Moonlight project, and they provide their own codec alternatives to get around the licensing issues.

Silverlight is a very fast moving tech, in the last 3 major releases, an average 8 out of 10 top developer requested features were implemented by the Silverlight teams at Microsoft. Right now, the #1 requested feature for the next version, by far, is greater platform support:

http://blog.netflix.com/2010/11/netflix-on-android.html

Greg Peters, of Netflix, announced that select android phones will be getting Netflix streaming early next year. It's "select" because the android platform does not have a common DRM solution, and Netflix's content providers require it in order to allow streaming media. The "select" phones have not been announced, and Greg Peters said that they unfortunately have to work with manufacturers on a phone by phone basis in order to get the required DRM.

All I know is, if you have Sprint TV, which you should if you have an Evo (I have an Epic myself), Sprint's very own version of DRM is baked in. If Netflix has been talking to Samsung and Sprint to get instant streaming on the Sprint Android phones, we may already have what we need in order to get it (when it finally comes out, that is).

Hello everyone!

I accidentally broke the GPS antenna of my Galaxy s. :o Fortunately, the phone is still under warranty :D

Do you think they would repair or replace it? Or should I keep it as is now?

(I don't know how warranty works, because i never needed to use it.....Until now :D)

Thank you in advance!!!

Not ME, but rather my little sister! :mad:

She, to make me a stupid joke, thought well to remove the little sticker next to the speakers :eek:

Obviously I did not know this, but it was really hard to get the GPS signal (which is common to all models of galaxy s :D),so I performed the usual tests of the application lbs .... But the GPS only received 1 satellite with a signal strenght of 0 :( Therefore I focused on this problem, until I found out, sifting through various forums, that maybe the antenna was damaged or something like that. So I discovered that my phone was unfairly castrated :(...

This is the sad end of a sad story...

But in almost all the respectable stories, there's a happy ending :rolleyes: (and I hope so for me).

What do you mean for "return it" Do you mean perhaps returning it saying that it has a GPS problem?

Certainly they may find out that the antenna is missing.

Whilst there is an announcement to that effect, it also tells you where to post afterwards. Basically they're moving them to another section.

Not that they're really N1 specific anyway, there's no mention of N1 in their title anywhere.
