First make sure you uninstall them i use system.app.remover but you can use titanium bakup for uninstall system apps too ofcourse the pro version i have both in my Lg gt540 folder in mediafire(link is in my signature) then try not installing the .apk but:

adb push Mms.apk /system/app (remember you have to put the .apk to C:\*SDK\platform-tools\ first)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Just wondering what you guys typically get for battery performance based on your usage, ROM, Android, battery type, etc.
[Fascinate General] lilmoney30:
Ok im rooted, and thats about it right now. When I try to record video it stops and says record failed. It only saves about 20 secs of video. Im confused.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Had the same issue.

SD cards vary in read write capability, and the cards that ship are class 2, which is essentially the lowest speed card you can buy.

If your cards actual performance is on the low end, then you will see this issue. I actually only had it happen when trying to record at 720p setting, but I swapped my card for a class 10, and haven't seen it since.

Those are pricy, but a class 4 should be sufficient, although I would recommend at least 6.

If you return the card for a replacement, you may be okay a well, if you get a slightly better card.
[Fascinate General] lilmoney30:
Weird I carried over my japan class 4 that came with my droid X. Maybe I will try the card that came with it.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Lol. Try that and see. I may very well be wrong, but I think it has to do with the r/w to the sd card. Even with speed aside, cards can fail a little at a time.

Going to look into the speed requirements for 720p recording on these in a few.
[Fascinate General] lilmoney30:
Im thinking that japan card might be bad. I put in the class 2 samsung card that came with the phone and as of right now, no issues.

HTC CODE READER UPDATE: HTC DESIRE/BRAVO - FIRST & ALONE IN THE WORLD! (By cable)

Just spotted this

Micro-Box AIO V1.0.6.2 UPDATE: WORLD EXCLUSIVITY | 22-10-2010

view here at : micro-box.com/
[Fascinate General] vecchioni27:
Ok here is the deal...I got the phone and knew I was rooting from day 1. So I did so.

Rooted, CWM, ROM Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, SetCPU, ASTRO, JT voodoo kernel .2.

Thats what I had before the problems started happening. I then flashed JT's 1000 with animation over top of the .2 due to everyone saying you could...well all hell broke loose. My sd card somehow went bad...so today I went to the verizon store after my phone magically went back to stock with a root...so I un-rooted before going to the store and they gave me a new sd card no questions asked. Well I put the new sd card in...and the phone brings up the wizard asking me english or spanish blah blah...

Now the weird part...I put the CWM update.zip onto the sd card and boot into it and flash the .2 kernel and WAHLAH...my old launcher pro comes up with EVERYTHING installed on the phone still from before...however my super user wasn's showing up so I simply went to the market and got it.

HOWEVER the phone is basically in a weird way acting up...like before I could hard reset and get right into CWM but now the only way in is to run the update.zip. Also now my facebook wont work AT all as far as syncing my contacts. Also without launcher pro I couldn't load anything onto the phone because it was saying I didn't have any internal memory space.

Now the part that REALLY gets me is I actually odined back to stock...atleast so I thought I did. I loaded it up, ran the stock .md5 for the i500 and thought all was well, keep in mind this was before flashing the .2 kernel. However everything was still acting funny, couldnt sync or download and all that...

Basically what I am ranting for is because I would GLADLY and LOVE to go back to a phone basically as if I got it out of the box today especially knowing how to do everything now after much research...basically lesson learned on flashing over another kernel...

ANYWAYS...PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET THE OUT OF THE BOX PHONE BACK!!!

You will get MANY thanks :)

-Tim V

edit - don't get me wrong, I would love to keep everything on here as its all still working correctly, however the little bugs now are a killer and quite the annoyance!
[Fascinate General] nemesis2all:
Please refer to adrynalynes post on how to completely remove voodoo. This will take care of your problem with 0.00 internal storage.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804784
[Fascinate General] vecchioni27:
well thats the thing...when I re-flashed .2 back on top of the 1000 with animations...it took me from the stock screen with not having any internal storage back into launcher pro with everything installed but not validated. Like I had to get the super user icon back and re enter codes for titanium and such...makes no sense to me...
[Fascinate General] nemesis2all:
Right now your mbr is hosed. You are not going to get it back by flashing other voodoo kernels. You need to take care of this problem before you can go any further.
[Fascinate General] vecchioni27:
yessir :( lol when it says lose all data...is that saying my phone will be like out of the box?
[Fascinate General] nemesis2all:
Yes, but your contacts will resync when you sign into gmail and if you have a backup you can get your apps and settings back.
[Fascinate General] vecchioni27:
see thats the part that sucks...the nandroid I made was on my sd card that went bad....blah oh well at least my phone will be fixed
[Fascinate General] vecchioni27:
used the uninstaller...back to stock...here goes nothing putting it all back lol...thank you!!!
[Fascinate General] nemesis2all:
Your sdcard went bad too? The internal memory problem you had was not related to your sdcard. I'm not sure if you are confused or if I am. Either way glad you have everything working again and that the uninstaller worked for you.
[Fascinate General] vecchioni27:
maybe it was just a bad combination of things...but yes my sd card they gave me in my replacement phone was bad after i installed the kernel on top of the other one...same day not instantly. Have no idea if it was a coincidence or not that they both messed up at the same time...but basically I took a 1GB micro sd from my old phone and put it in and the phone decided to magically boot up to stock but rooted with the super user icon on the front screen...but everything was acting up internally then...couldn't download anything and I couldn't sync properly. So new sd card from the store after un-rooting...that was all i had to do cause the phone did the rest for me as far as appearing stock for visiting the store...got me...just glad everything is working correctly now...just will take all day at work tomorrow to get everything back the way i like it!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Fearless1978:
There's already a few of these on the Android Market. You want to differentiate your app; add the flip clock animation a la' HTC Sense.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] EZ14U2NV:
first off theres only one on the market that looks this close and thats weather toggle widgets... second that app is a lot more heavy than this! i love how i can make the weather icon bring me DIRECTLY to animated weather app! Third a custom animation is VERY dependant on the launcher! ONLY the OLD JACXHERO roms for g1 and NEW SENSE 2.2 roms have the real "flip clock". also better alarm in market has a "flip clock" animation in app and Home++ launcher has flip clock widgets!

This is by far the most light weight "ALMOST PERFECT" sense style flip clock ive seen though... wierd you can still "bump" the market link to people ;-)

[Android Software Development] sjdean:
Hi,

Im just getting into Android development and picking up pace slowly. Getting confused how people are getting settings style menus with the appropriate colour Summary Line while adding icons for Stars and Checkboxes etc to highlight and tick.

Anyhoo, I have a TextViews inside a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView, seems to work OK. I use SetText to set the Text on the TextViews and I create everything at run time instead of through the XML files.

But the application I have is a polling type application and I need to repopulate the TextViews and redraw the ScrollView in the same position that the user scrolled to previously.

Im accutely aware of problems using ScrollTo after you've used SetText, so I found the following code:

sView.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
sView.scrollTo(0, iTop);
}
});

It works, but there's a screen flicker where it first draws the screen in its normal position then sets the scrollTo.

What is the best way of achieving this, or am I doing everything completely backwards and most normal people wouldn't have this kind of problem?

Thanks

Simon
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
It sounds more like you might want to consider using a listview instead. It was designed to contain several child views and scrolls and updates seamlessly.
[Android Software Development] sjdean:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I am a bit too much of a beginner.

I seem to be favouring TableLayout so that I can display tabular data and have columns resize correctly and have the data presented OK.

I think that's why I went with updating everything at design time because I have a variable number of rows that can be added. IIUC, variable rows (in an XML file) I think can only be created using ListView, but of course a TableRow needs a TableLayout as a parent.

Here is the idea...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout android:id="@+id/TableLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><TableRow android:id="@+id/TableRow01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:text="@+id/TextView01" android:paddingRight="5px" android:id="@+id/TextView01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
<TextView android:text="@+id/TextView02" android:id="@+id/TextView02" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

The code I have for TableRows is not dissimilar to, http://en.androidwiki.com/wiki/Dynamically_adding_rows_to_TableLayout

But of course using setText means I cannot then scrollTo
[Android Software Development] sjdean:
Duh.

First learning curve mastered.

You only need to add views to containers etc the first time you display the screen.

You can update the text in the views later on without affecting the screen position.

I like this.

Hey guys I just got my vibrant back and I was wondering if I should root it, or just wait for froyo to release?

Sent from my vibrant while I'm working. I love my job
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Rooting isn't hard at all. You should go ahead & root now :)
[Vibrant General] icandy75:
+1 on the root now. While your at it install a custom rom and you will love your phone. Odds are you can get the Froyo update right here before it hits OTA anyways.
[Vibrant General] Joshochoa187:
Yeah I've rooted my vibrant before I had to get a new one. It is easy but I would probably have to un root it to update right?

Sent from my vibrant while I'm working. I love my job
[Vibrant General] martin0641:
I don't understand what waiting would do. What you should NOT do is get the Froyo update from T-Mobile, as there is a chance that they will push an update that breaks your ability to root with 2.2 and you will have to wait even longer.

I recommended you root now, install Rom Manager, go to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=813001

Download Fusion 1.1 to your SDCARD (I have a folder called ROMS) and go to Clockwork, reboot into Recovery, Reinstall Packages, Install ZIP from SDCARD, choose Bionix 1.1, wait, and then see what that phone is really capable of.

Using Fusion 1.1 makes me not mind waiting for Froyo.
[Vibrant General] Joshochoa187:
Yeah you are right it's just I haven't got to comfortable w/ flashing roms just yet. Looks a bit hard I guess I will just keep watching the videos on it till I feel like I can do it

Sent from my vibrant while I'm working. I love my job
[Vibrant General] icandy75:
Flashing roms is super easy as long as you're using ones flashable through rom manager. I must warn you it's very addictive. The only thing I would say is make your you backup in case something goes wrong and avoid Voodoo until you've flashed a few times and feel more comfortable. Great thing is there is tons of support here. I suggest you try Bionix Final.

Well guys I'm pretty convinced I think im going to do it I'm going to look into it thanx alot for your input :)

[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Yes you can.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Dooo eeet!

Yes, it's daunting at first to flash a new ROM, but I just did it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was simple and easy. Just read up as much as you can and then write up a "roadmap" on all the steps you need to take, before, during, and after. It removed a lot of headaches for me because I planned it all out and had all the software ready in case anything went wrong (Odin, stock ROM, etc.). If there are any gaps in your understanding or questions about a process, ask them here before you flash!
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I would root it and load a custom ROM, waiting for official OTA update to Froyo is like playing a Russian roulette now. Look what a simple update that was suppsoed to address GPS and other issues did to your fellow TMO users.

As always, there will be people who wouldn't even know that you can root the device to make it your own, so they will always run stock, and complain to TMO when they click MobiTV app and never use it, but have to cough up 10 bucks a month for it (it is just an example).

If you came here you know that you can do something to your phone besides waiting for Froyo, take a full advantage of what is offered in the dev section, and don't forget to support the developers if you like the work they do :)

[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
If you are going to root, you might as well just do it.

Froyo could easily be 2-3 months down the road yet.
[Vibrant General] ndhr3d:
you need ROM manager...

it took me forever to find a how-to on this exact thing.

You have to be rooted in order to accomplish this:

1. root (obviously)

2. download ROM manager

3. open ROM manager and click on 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' and pick your phone.

4. click 'Backup Current ROM'

5. Let it do it's thing... it's going to reboot and run in recovery then reboot again.

6. You are done!!

To recover, you have to boot into clockwork recovery and click restore then pick the date file you made to recover to that date!

** If any of this is wrong, please call me out!!
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Yeah, I started doing all this before I even discovered ROM Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery. Those tools definitely make everything so much easier.

Make sure you have the following software tools:

ADB

Odin

Rom Manager (w/ ClockworkMod Recovery installed)

Titanium Backup

Also, make sure your phone is not hardware locked before you begin. Try the standard procedure to enter Recovery Mode; if your phone is hardware locked, run the flashable fix (found in the dev forum) so that you have some way of recovering from a soft brick.
[Vibrant General] Bendezium:
From my experiences, rooting has always been the fastest way to get updates. Those rollouts take forever.

[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
lol. i was waiting for a froyo release, i flashed my g1 a bunch so flashing wasn't a big deal, but i was happy with the phone stock for a bit and didn't mind waiting. but i rooted after a week. was flashing smaller things like ji2 gps, getting rid of bloatware, changing bootup/shutdown, etc. a couple weeks later. and a couple weeks after that i started flashing roms.

moral of the story? just root and start flashing now, it's a long wait.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
Yeah, definitely better to root. If you're ok with losing your gps for a while you can flash Eugene's Vibrant_JPM_R1 and get froyo right now. But in general, the root experience is much better than the stock one. It puts you in more control of your phone and allows you to use the strength of the community to make your phone better.
[Vibrant General] Joshochoa187:
Yeah I went ahead rooted it, and slapped the bionix fusion 1.1 I'm going to wait on the froyo rom till it's fully up and running. Will they ever be able to set it up to where I don't have to use odin to get it on my phone or is that just the way it's going to stay?
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
guys i'm going to flash the 1.1 fusion now. if i don't want this can i immediately flash the JI6 with no problems?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Just restore your nandroid backup (which you will do right before flashing the rom).

You will not go back though, promise.

Also, check my signature if anyone needs help with the steps.
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
Rooting this phone is as simple as flashing one single .zip file.

It's not like the MT3G Slide where it'll take you 10 minutes or so and you're required to flash a different ROM (from what I've seen).

Just root it & at least be able to use root apps.

Then, when froyo comes out, you'll also be one of the first to get it because you'll have downloaded it off of xda and flashed it instead of waiting for tmobiles ota to eventually pick you.
[Vibrant General] jnp1974:

Fusion is the best ROM out right now for your Vibrant!
[Vibrant General] Beniuec:
will a nandroid back up back up my stock kernel so I can get back to 100% stock if I flash fusion 1.1 with jacs kernel
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
No, NANDROID will not back up your kernel, but will backup the shared libraries, etc., so if you restore NANDROID backup of a stock kernel on a device that is running a custom kernel you will be a very sad panda
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I did a backup before flashing. By choosing restore my JI6 will be returned? The reason I want to go back is because I will unlock the phone first to other carriers.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ correct. Which Fusion did you flash? If you used an oc kernel (JACs / KK) you would need to flash the stock kernel before you restored your nandroid backup... if you just did the Fusion with the stock kernel, this step is not needed and yes, the nandroid would restore you to where you were.

I have not researched it, but I don't see any reason why you would need to go back to the stock JI6 is to unlock your phone... you should be able to do that with Fusion? Could be wrong since this is not a concern for me.
[Vibrant General] Beniuec:
how would I go about backing up my kernel
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Just making sure. I don't want to brick my phone. I'm running stock kernel.
[Vibrant General] Anthony B:
Just root it, while your at it flash a new rom. We are not going to get froyo any time soon.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ I consider within the year "soon", but yes, still root and flash Fusion/Bionix/Eugene
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
The current froyo rom from Eugene does not require use of Odin. GPS is the only issue on it right now (something I can live without since I still have my old GPS unit).

Also, to answer the question about going back to stock, you can just flash one of the bionix roms that runs on the stock kernel and then nandroid your stock backup after.

Right now I'm still daily driving Eugene's froyo and loving it. I'd definately recommend checking it out. You can also revert back to 2.1, just remember to flash a 2.1 kernel BEFORE you nandroid (flashing fusion will work too).
[Vibrant General] mulcahyd:
I agree with the other members in this forum. I also recently had my vibrant replaced with a new one, and I am already rooted. Took about less than 30sec if using one click method so choose the easiest way. Either tonight or tomorrow I will be flashing the most recent Froyo Rom. In my past experience, I had root broken with an update (I once had a palm pre for sprint). Had to wait forever until it was rootable. The update broked the exploit of palm pre root ability. Go for it dude. Root has its advantages.
