[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyriusxenu:
Hello,

Since a while I have a Nexus One(Bought in the Netherlands from Vodafone, with FRF91). And when I heard about

the ability to use the FM Radio on it using CyanogenMod I started thinking about replacing it's stock rom

with CyanogenMod. I have some previous experience with custom ROM's on my ADP1 and have been doing some research but still have some questions. Thats what this post is for.

I want to flash CyanogenMod because I want: FM Radio, ability to do full backups, theming and tuning the trackball notifications.

So first question: Besides these what are the most important benefits of flashing CyanogenMod to my N1?[Q1]

I also want to be able to completely undo the whole process in case I need the warranty or just want to go back for whatever reason. So here is my current todo list to get what I want:

Step 1) Use Super One Click RATC program to get root without unlocking the bootloader(and thus keeping warranty).

If I understand correctly this program will use the RATC exploit in ADB to get ADB with root previliges, push the su program and install the Superuser app, correct?[Q2]

Does the unroot button completely undo this process without leaving any trace?[Q3]

Step 2) Install ROM Manager app from market.

Step 3) Flash ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager app.

Is it possible to backup/reflash the original stock recovery image that my Nexus came with?[Q4]

I found a mediafire page somewhere with the file "Passion-VF-FRF91.zip". Would this be the original rom image my phone came with(Netherlands, Vodafone, FRF91) or are all European Vodafone N1s the same?[Q5]

Step 4) Backup complete phone using nandroid from ClockworkMod recovery.

Will this backup my radio (and hboot if it gets overwritten?) too?[Q6]

Step 5) Flash CyanogenMod using ROM Manager.

Is there a way to migrate my app data(settings and save games) from my stock install to the new CyanogenMod install?[Q7]

Step 6) Live happily ever after.

Any answers to my questions or general tips are appreciated. I might sound paranoid but I just want to be on the safe side of things and not brick my brand new $600 phone.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
What a load of questions you have...

1. "Extra customizability" and functionality that stock ROM doesn't have.

2. Yes.

3. Don't know, probably so. It doesn't matter anyway.

4. Yes.

5. Don't know, but again, why do you care? It doesn't matter. Just back up your own personal ROM with the recovery.

6. No radio and no hboot.

7. Titanium backup.

8. You're WAY too paranoid. Stop worrying about stuff so much. It's only stuff, even if it costs $600.

Not sure when the SLCD screens started coming in, but if your custom recovery is black after installing, you will need to install Among Ra 1.9 instead... (you may be OK with FRF91, though).

I am trying to downgrade from SPL 2.10 to 2.8 so I can download the Android system on my phone. I am not as computer savvy as I obviously need to be. But other than this website, I can't find anything with instructions on how to do this. I have downloaded the leoimg.nbh file onto my SD card. When I restarted my phone, all I got was the tri-colored screen and now I really don't know how to continue. I have downloaded all the programs for the Android system, but I can't do this HSPL thing with this SPL... I am so confused. Please help :confused:

[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
I got my epic recently and use it a lot for work. I have google voice installed so I can make calls over my wifi and not use any minutes. I have ALOT of minutes for work purposes working from home since I have no home phone. While the call works fine, my touch tones do not seem to go across fully. It recognizes some keys like if I press #. However, I always get invalid entry so something isnt working right. Anyone have any idea on how to resolve this?
[Epic 4G General] modernman:
How are you able to make calls? When I try to do this over wifi, I get an error message saying that i need to be connected to the network even though I am. Please let me know how I can use my wifi connection and make and recieve calls.

I was wrong anyways Google voice just acts as a middle man and still uses minutes. There is a way to use sipgate to use wifi but I haven't yet.

how did you do it? Windows Mobile offers only 3 alarms
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] milos-n:
hahhaah it happen to me too, for example if you set your first alarm to 1am first set your 3 alarms for different times (for example 9pm, 10pm, 10:30pm) and leave them on, then set your time at 12:59 and wait until alarm starts then turn it off next change your date to tomorrow and again set your time again to 12:59 and continue to do that until alarm don`t soun any more. then do that for every alarm that is starting by itself. hope it helps

No problem I booted into ClockworkMod recover selected nandroid and chose the restore from today. everything seemed fine restore finished I rebooted but was left with a vanilla stock Froyo? (No user data no applictions)

I then tried it again even with eariler backups still only recovers to a stock Froyo build. What am I doing wrong?

Exchange 2003 Sync (2007/2010)

Hi,

thanks for the hint.

I use mine with Exchange 2003 SP2(!) and Android support this with out

any extra App. (I found this out after i did a long travel to the available Apps for this).

Important is at Exch.2003 the SP2! (2007 and 2010 should work for sure)

Then it works with SSL via Exchange-Active-Sync. Mail, Contacts, Calendar.

Just add a new Account in Email with the Exchange Server Details.

I was surprised, it worked after 20 Sec. of configuration.

With all the App's (for this) i had minor and major troubles.

This only for all who need this simple and easy.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] waterpolo:
Wifi didn't work for me too.

Is the USB (ADB drivers) working correctly, check device manager.

Which OS are you using?

The ADB with windows 7 isn't stable. I have to update the ADB drivers each time when I connect the device.

Another sync application for Outlook is Android-Sync.

This application is much faster then MyPhoneExplorer but in the current release (0.195a) it can only sync the contacts and calendar.
[Galaxy Tab General] NightFire123:
Hi,

just wanne know wich formats the device play surely?

I know that it will play .mkv with h.264 anf 1080p .....

but and thats a very very big but....

Whats about watching full movies?

The Tab only supports FAT32 and files over 2GB are not supportet, how does this fit together ? Doesnt make any sense to me.

What about you?
[Galaxy Tab General] dhanjel:
Tried a little and as you say, large files can´t be added.

But 720p mkv works flawlessly.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
For one thing its 4gb, not 2. And this still leaves you with a lot a hd files to watch. If something doesnt work, try vplayer alpha.
[Galaxy Tab General] shaggles:
Played everything I threw at it so far. I use vplayer and the video app (the video app can play most filetypes and I use it whenever possible, its quite nice).

I tried mkv, divx, mp4 (h264 / h263), wmv and flv. So you are pretty set with these two apps when it comes to videos. vplayer had sync problems with 720p but the samsung app played it flawless.
[Galaxy Tab General] NightFire123:
Its not about the player but about the filesystem wich cant handle murch more than 4 gig files
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
The standard user-accessible filesystem pretty much ANY device will be formatted as FAT32 which has a 4GB filesize limit. This is not a limitation of the Tab, but of virtually ALL devices that support external memory.

The expectation of being able to play almost blu-ray quality movies on a 7" screen is a bit unrealistic. It's only 1024x600 so anything beyond 720p is a complete waste of time, as is bitrates much beyond 1000kbps if you're using H.264 compression, as the difference is hardly going to be noticable on such a small display. The average movie encoded to a circa 1GB H.264'd MKV file will likely be virtually indistinguishable from its source when played on the GT, unless you've got visions of playing it back through an HDMI dock.

Besides, why have 4 4GB movies, when you can have 16 1GB movies to watch?

VPlayer will happily play pretty much anything at up to 2000kbps that I've told it to which is higher than I'd usually encode at unless it's for archival purposes. It does have audio sync issues with some high bitrate sources. You could also try Rockplayer.

The standard video player will handle pretty much any MPEG4 derived file that you can throw at it. (Divx, XVid, etc) and has no issue with 720p (1280x720) sources. Beyond that, you'll want to try VPlayer, MPlayer or Rockplayer etc.

Don't expect it to handle high-bitrate 1080p H264 videos very well, it's only a 1Ghz CPU after all and H.264 takes a lot of processing power to decode. You might get away with it if encoding with Xvid, but again, 1080p over 720p is going to be a waste of space on the 1024x600 display. If you want to output to a TV then you might get benefit from it, but it's a bit convoluted. If it's fairly low bitrate and/or a lesser codec than H.264, then you might have better success.
[Galaxy Tab General] dhanjel:
The GPS takes care of hi-def video playback, and while 1080p is pretty useless on the device. If you already have the video in 1080p format, it's pretty nice to be able to play it without converting it. And when the HDMI dock arrives, 1080p playback on tv is useful.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
the what with the what what?
[Galaxy Tab General] milomak:
If I got say a 32GB sdcard. Could I format that as ext3 and store files bigger than 4GB on there? Would I be able to easily access the files from the various apps?
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
Like others have said 720p MKV/MP4 will play fine with H.264/x.264 video tucked inside. To use the allshare app easily, use MP4 files as Windows Media Sharing will see those and stream them out via DLNA.

My reasoning is as follows:

1 - Screen is only 1024x600 so 720p is all you need (1080p content is just overkill here). Even regular old DVD rips look great.

2 - Only has two speakers, repack your MKV into an MP4 with the audio converted to 2ch AAC LC with your H.264 video. This is the same format used for the XBox 360 as well. Basically if you can watch it on your 360 (no hacks) then you can stream it with allshare.

I follow these "rules" and stream everything from my sabnzb homeserver no problem.

Thanks guys
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luckynumbr7:
No clue where they are at, but with text icons I usually make them myself if I can't find them. If you have photoshop, just play with some fonts until you find one you like, find the proper size for an icon (think its 72 x 72 pixels), save them as png's and put them on your memory card. Makes for some awesome icons. Hope that helps a little.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
It does look like that, the ones I had looks like some of the letters are slightly offset... I like it because It kind of made the bubbles on my dock look like it was distorting them a bit.

Thanks for the tips, unfortunately I don't have the knowledge/software to make them myself! lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luckynumbr7:
Find the font you want, the words you want (please keep it to a minimum) and I'll put some together for you. Or at least do my best.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
The font that guy linked in here will work fine.

I would like each icon to have 2 words if possible, kinda like PHONE with DIALER underneath it in smaller print. If not, then just the word Phone. Then MRKT with market underneath, TEXT with handcent underneath and WEB with browser underneath.

If the 2 word icons aren't possible then just the first word will work! Maybe in White or light gray if you can!

This would be greatly greatly appreciated
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luckynumbr7:
Alright. Try this. I tried them out on my own screen. Both sets have no background so they'll be hard to see until you place them on a dark dock background or dark wallpaper. If they don't work, holler at me. It only took about 10 minutes to do so any changes are pretty easy. You'll obviously have to unzip first before you put them on the sdcard. Good luck. Cheers.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Sweet!

Looks awesome man, I really appreciate you doing that for me!

Actually yea they are really hard to see on my bubble dock but not sure you can do anything about that...I'll try to find a different dock cause they are some kickass icons!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luckynumbr7:
Yea I thought about that and wondered how it would look. I could have put a solid background on them but it would have hid the bubbles. Let me know if it works out. And no worries, my pleasure...that's what the forum is here for. Plenty of people have stepped up to help me out. Have a good one.

I have a Bell Vibrant. Voodoo Lagfix and rooted.

I unapplied the lagfix by creating a folder inside the Voodoo folder called "disable lagfix". Then rebooted the phone. After the lengthy disable process, the phone booted back up. I then went into settings and formatted the Internal SD card.

Then I rebooted the phone, went into 3 button recovery mode, and did a factory reset and cache wipe.

Now when the phone boots back up, it still detects the voodoo lagfix. Then boots up but all I get are constant force close. I can't do anything in the phone other than continually press the force close button.

In particular, it loops between com.google.process.gapps and android.process.media

What can I do to get my phone working again?

[HD2 General] Orbiting234:
Looked high and low and can't find a straight answer for this:

With a stock T-Mobile USA HTC HD2, do I have to install HSPL in order to run an Android build off of SD? No interest in flashing NAND to different/custom winmo build or anything. All of the FAQs and whatnot instruct installing HSPL but those are geared for ROM replacement which is why it is obviously necessitated in those cases.

So can I just update to the latest official winmo from T-Mobile's USA site (3.14) in order to get updated radio and all that and simply run Android off SD? Or am I going to have to deal with the HSPL stuff regardless? (Trying to keep warranty intact)
[HD2 General] gnet158:
Yes, you do need to update HSPL to run any custom rom (that you'll need run anyway for Android to run off your SD card). The good thing is that you can go back to factory if you need to send your phone in. Some rom's do not require you to change your radio. The one I'm running did not, that is why I'm running it. The version of Android I'm running also did not require an updated radio. HTH.
