I find JPO/XWJPA to be quite good compared to older ones, what issues are you experiencing? Anyone have a perferance of JPO vs XWJPA?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lokhor:
JPO isn't perfect but it is a darn sight better than the JP6 browser. I don't get a lot of lag while scrolling anymore and it doesn't use insane amounts of memory for me either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcarr622:
Agreed, not perfect but lots better. Have you compared JPO to XWJPA? Are they the same or is one a bit better?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
Just tested it, definitely an improvement over the existing browser on Doc Rom v7.5 JPO
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Shivatink:
s slight improvement in running flash videos especially not great as previous lagfixs but certainly some improvement when running flash we dont have any other go... i tried the libwebcore.so from many froyos but still not perfect....

[Galaxy S I9000 General] black heart:
Hello everybody

I was copying some files into the Lib folder in system replacing some orginal files, it hanged, I restarted the phone, and it can't boot, I guess the file is broken

my question is: can I edit those files somehow? maybe using download mode or something

please, help, I have no phone now :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] black heart:
sorry, I should've posted it in Q&A

some mod move it please :D sorry
[Galaxy S I9000 General] black heart:
yeah whatever thanks for support :D

just flashed a leaked froyo rom, seems fine
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I have an idea to write a new Morphing tool that will work with any apk on your phone. (except ones moved to sd using froyo's a2sd. don't know how to get the apk from there)

Features: (Please let me know if you have better/more ideas)

1) Target apks with wildcards. (Since Froyo apks have -1, -2, -3... appended to the name.) If more than one file is found the user can choose which file to morph.

2) Backup the old apk and provide an option to restore the backup. If the morph is cancelled or fails restore the backup.

3) On-phone signing so non-system apks can be morphed too.

i.e. The old apk is uninstalled and the morphed+signed apk is installed if its a non-system app. For system apks the old apk is simply overwritten.

4) Simple property style text configuration file that maps morph folders (in the morph zip) to apks.

example: launcher-files=launcher2*.apk

5) Search /data/app for the target apk first, next search /system/app

6) Pick up keys to use from a specified sdcard folder, if not found use the standard test key.

7) Option to download a morph .zip from the web via a url (using wget).

i.e. you send a URL to your phone using chrome/*-to-phone and then paste the URL in.

8) zipalign the morphed+signed apk.

System requirements (so far):

root/su

busybox

signapk installed

wget binary for android installed.

If someone is already working on something similar, let me know. Dont want to duplicate effort. This will be an open source app though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Isn't this going to break updating those apps tho? For example if I was to morph/resign angry birds, when angry birds gets a market update it's going to fail to install due to signing mismatch.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
correct, but you will know when there is a market update and can uninstall the morphed version. Its the price for the morphability.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Got ya. Figured you had already thought of that but wanted to point it out just in case. I assumed uninstall/update would be the suggested course for said apps, but again just wanted to make sure you had thought of that issue!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
yeah, you could restore the backed up apk and then update, or uninstall manually and install again.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glen4cindy:
Which one should I be using?

I am still using the original Amon RA Recovery 1.5 that I loaded when I first rooted my Hero from Regaw's thread.

I'm currently running CM6 Extreme Blue, and I have seen the option in my ROM manager to flash Clockwork Recovery so I could use ROM Manager to download ROM's.

So, my question is, which is better, Amon or Clockwork? Is it easy to revert back to Amon from Clockwork if I don't care for it?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bud1i9ht:
Its all preference I would think. Its easy to change the recovery so try it for a while then change back if you don't like it or try the Unofficial Amon_RA 1.7, GodSpeed Recovery Darchstar Edition, or GodSpeed Recovery ToAsTcfh Edition available at Darchs Website.

Just to let you know you should be posting questions at the Hero CDMA Q&A section not on the Development section.

I love how this thread is almost underneath the stickied one that clearly says "PLEASE POST "Questions" and "Non ROM developement" THEADS IN THE CORRECT FORUMS".
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
Clockwork Mod is insanely better. It has more advanced features than Amon_RA, such as mounting individual partitions in Recovery mode, and flashing unsigned zip files.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:
agreed people on this site wonder why i always post in threads saying that. my response is...READ THE RULES!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scifan:
Can you use clockwork to mount your flash as a USB device on a computer? (know Amon RA does that)...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
Yes you can, as well as individual partitions such as /system, /data /cache, etc.

BTW I put in a request for either myself to become a moderator in this section, or that a moderator start moderating this section. These posts in the wrong forums are getting annoying.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glen4cindy:
Thanks for the tips.

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum. Didn't mean to break the rules, I wasn't trying to be stupid, just made a mistake. I was posting while at work, and was writing the post between inputing my different orders that I have to work. I was writing the post during the downtimes, and just happened to be in the wrong forum. Didn't do it on purpose. Certainly didn't mean to ruffle the feathers of so many people.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
LOL you're so funny. I asked for moderator status because I frequent XDA multiple times per day. It's not fair to developers that their threads are pushed back pages because of people asking noob questions in the DEVELOPMENT section instead of the Q&A section. It's even worse that no one reads up on what they're actually doing to their phone anymore before they do it. God forbid they use the search button on XDA or Google. /end rage
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] add144:
Ironic considering almost all the threads you've started are questions. Perhaps you need to sharpen up on your Googling skills, as well.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vrekk:
You know what else pushes back development threads? People bickering over stupid stuff, getting way off topic, and not letting a thread die.

Now don't have a flame war, don't like what somebody says? Ignore them, or tell a moderator and let them handle it. It takes 2 to have a war

When thread has been answered, posting that it's in the wrong place just bumps it.

If this has been answered, let it die. Stop before real moderators have to get involved k?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwizzle:
Ok so here's a question relating to this thread. I've used both amonRA and clockwork. I do appreciate the advanced features of clockwork, but I noticed the other day it takes about 4 times as long to back up the exact same rom, even though it makes the same size of backup. Anyone have a clue as to why this would be?

Let's keep it friendly in here guys, we're all here to help. No need for the flaming
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Correct, and Darch's 1.7 custom RA is overclocked and fast as can be :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That's due to that fact that the 1.7 ra is overclocked, and therefore much faster :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Personally I would stick with an OC amonRA over Clockwork if you're just going to be doing your basic nandroid backups/restores, flashing signed zips you get off of XDA, and mounting the SD card on occasion.

It covers your basic needs and it does it faster. Plus, who wouldn't want darch's or toast's avatar on their recovery :cool:

Lol what's with the triple posts? each a minute apart, you should've just multi-quoted :p
[Desire General] Surfy89:
Hello everyone,

as i've written I'm holding a Desire on Orange contract Panter (the one with unlimited texts 400 mins and "unlimited internet")

This is my second month of my contract and i was looking through my detailed bill and I saw something disturbing about my texts.

Here's a picture below:

ht tp://img826.im ag esha ck.us/img826/3315/orangetextscam.jpg

*please remove the spaces (as i'm a new user i'm not allowed to post outside links)

As you can see, after each text (charged as 0.000, as it's included) there's another "blank" one which is charged 0.009p.

So, why I'm charged for the texts when I haven't even reached my monthly limit and moreover why there isnt even a number there??? Is this something normal, is it to do with Orange or an (fraud, virus) App i have downloaded and it's scamming my texts?

The help will be highly appreciated!
[Desire General] atomfix:
I have the exact same problem. It because orange charges you for the delivery reports and if u disable the report on your messaging. It stops billing you on your phone
[Desire General] downbringer:
Yeah, I had that issue for a while when I had my Nokia n82 when I first moved over to Orange a few years back. Just turn off delivery reports and you'll be fine.
[Desire General] Surfy89:
Thanks for the help guys! I've turned the reports off and should be fine. :)
[Desire General] atomfix:
Awesome. Orange should really put down somewhere that they charge for delivery reports because u can't find anything :(
[Desire General] Surfy89:
After over 24h i checked my online bill and guess what..! These blank 0.009p messages are still there even though i've turned the delviery reports off! What now? :confused:
[Desire General] ljesh:
Those that were already there will (probably) stay there. Or you're saying there are new ones?
[Desire General] MadMic:
I had the same as well - ring them up and be nice but persistent to the Customer Service people, tell them you turned this feature off and see what you can get :-)

Also, check you're not paying for any of the Orange maps which comes with a load of the bloat/c%%p ware on the default Orange build.. When I first got my Desire I played with it before going down the rooting path and opened one of the Orange "free 30day trail" mapping programs... which started charging me!!! After a rather lengthly conversation with Orange CS I got my money refunded :-)
[Desire General] Surfy89:
New ones, i was texting since i turned the feature off and i waited the online bill to be updated.

I haven't used this crappy software, I couldn't handle it for more than a couple of days and after that i rooted and changed my rom.

I'll call Orange then. ;)

Fastboot

When I run fastboot-windows.exe on my computer I just get a quick flash of a black screen and then nothing.

Nevermind kinda went a different route and put the orginal rom on the root of the sdcard and named it to pc10img.zip and the booted into fastboot and then bootloader. It then flashed the zip, took a few min. Than put OTA on root of sd and named it to update.zip and entered into recovery and selected apply sdcard : update.zip. All went well. Actually is now booting for the first time havent even played with new system yet. Thanks for all the hard work that you devs do though. You make these phones bada$$.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Helpful Hint

If you have trouble getting it to "see" the device while in fastboot, just go to control panel, devices, install driver, and pick the one from sdk folder.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
This was my first time using fastboot, so I had to do some digging around to figure it out.

Flashing via Fastboot (done within Windows, not the phone):

1.Download ROM and fastboot.zip from OP

2.Leave the ROM alone, and extract the contents of fastboot.zip into the same folder as the ROM

3.Start phone in fastboot mode; when phone is off, hold trackpad button and press power

4.The phone should go into the proper mode, now connect it to USB

5.Open up the command prompt in Windows (Start>run>cmd)

EDIT:6. I forgot to add this: you have to set the directory in cmd to the folder in which the ROM and fastboot files reside. The easiest way to do so is make a folder on the desktop itself, and type "cd desktop/[foldername]" into the command prompt, without the quotes.

7.Follow the last three bullets as listed in Paul's post

I already had the USB drivers for the phone when messing with adb. I don't know if that will affect fastboot; if it does, you'll need to boot the phone normally and connect via USB, download PdaNet onto your computer, and let it install the necessary drivers. Once done, then you may follow the remaining steps.

EDIT: See #6 for updated instructions; it is crucial to avoid the invalid command error.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
LOL! I had sat around and realized even though I used abd and shell... I had no drivers in fastboot. also after flushing type "fastboot reboot" or pull battery to finish.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
Hey bro I have both fastboot and the stock rom. There both in my "downloads" folder. Do I extract the fastboot there or do I copy and paste it inside the stock rom program??? Or do I make a new folder?? I'm lost man...

Thanks a lot!!

[G2 and Desire Z General] Deuces:
used this method as well, but i pulled SDCard and put it in card reader to rename PC10IMG.zip.bak after the first step, b/c fastboot kept trying to read PC10IMG.zip before i could enter recovery for step 2 (update.zip)

That's the exact same thing I'm hoping for. I want to be able to listen to Pandora again without wondering whether I need a hearing test first...
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
I should've checked the thread earlier. The easiest way to do this is to make a new folder on your desktop (I called mine "flash" for simplicity). Put the entire ROM file without extracting it into that folder, and then extract the fastboot.zip into there. Then, follow my instructions at the bottom of page 2.

Check my updated instructions at the bottom of page 2. The new step 6 is what needs to be done to make those commands work.

Paul, you might want to put a few extra steps into the OP or the linked post in the OP; maybe even just quote what I wrote. Seems like a good handful of people are having small issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] G2reboots:
Hi, everyone. I apologize in advance for newbiness, but I downloaded the 1-click bug fix from the market (goggle remover for G2) and now find myself "in over my head".

I wasn't trying to be a developer or a hacker, just trying to set up my G2. I feel a bit "screwed" - I applied a 1-click fix, but now I have to become a developer to undo the change?

All of the instructions above assume a great deal of knowledge about the Android SDK and debug bridge - I get bogged down even just reading the instructions on how to install that on my PC, let alone use it to undo the goggle "fix" change...

PLEASE, if you could make a 1-click market solution, couldn't you provide a similar "noob" way of putting it back?

My "skills" are limited to downloading from the market, moving stuff onto SD via usb and I can run GScript and Terminal and type commands. I work with MS Access, Visual Basic (VBA), but that pretty much exhausts my "developing" skills.

PLEASE HELP, because at this point I am screwed out of the OTA :(

I am not blaming anybody, I understand that there's a world that newbies should not venture into, but I did not realize I was doing that. Just asking for help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingvaj23:
Paul I used the googles goggles remover ..but I'm waiting for the ota instead of doing it manually..if I used goggles remover will I have a problem when I recevie the ota? Or what should I do?? Please respond
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingvaj23:
So if we used the remover we can't receive the ota??:O
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
If you removed Google Goggles using the remover app, you have to restore your phone using Paul's instructions before you can successfully apply the OTA update. It doesn't matter how you get the update (either direct download from google OR received OTA).

It's not that difficult, just follow the instructions (you may learn something, and have that warm, fuzzy feeling that you DIY!).
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingvaj23:
Lol I'm lost as balls..but thanks for the motivation I'm downloading the files now
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
I think those of us that grew up using DOS and the command prompt have a distinct advantage when it comes to this stuff. Its hard to remember that a lot of you guys never got that experience.

I think Paul and everyone else here learned a little something when we realized the OTA wouldn't take after screwing with the /system folder.

If you need some extra guidance, post on here, and I'll do what I can to walk you through. I'm at work right now, but I can attempt to give you a hand.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingvaj23:
Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] G2reboots:
I don't know, I haven't learned anything yet, except that my job "database developer" is a joke compared to what folks around here do :)

I can't even tell in the instructions where the files go - I was ready to put them onto SD (but which folder?) when I realized it's talking about running the files from PC onto the phone? How do I do that? You have to realize that so many things are a "given" to you, devs, that we have no clue about.
[G2 and Desire Z General] G2reboots:
well, I also "grew up" using DOS, but I don't remember all of the commands. I am comfortable using a command prompt, just not sure what else should be installed on my PC in order for those commands to apply to the phone? Could you maybe try giving all the implied steps (which you devs take for granted) - but assume that our PC has no Android SDK, no Java, no drivers for G2, etc. THANKS!
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
I'll continue to refer back to my post at the bottom of page 2. It walks you step-by-step to flash the original ROM back onto your phone, and thus reverse the removal of Google Goggles. I have little to no experience in programming, DOS, etc.; so no, it doesn't take a developer to do this. If you need additional help, continue posting here for the benefit of others or PM me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] G2reboots:
well, after making some assumptions and leaps of faith here's what i did:

placed a folder I called "revert4OTA" (name is irrelevant) into C:\

booted phone in fastboot (phone unplugged, hold the action key (trackball) and push power until it lights up) THEN connect USB - Windows 7 installed drivers automatically.

So I just opened the command prompt, navigated to my "revert4OTA" folder and then typed the commands - phone reflashed as promised and I am setting it up just like new. Hope I can finish with applying the OTA update.

THANKS!

P.S. when you type, make sure it's one line (i set it up in notepad and pasted into command prompt - you will need it 2 times:

fastboot-windows flash zip PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
