it can be both cmd or gui......in your phone once you have rooted it you will have a superuser permissions box popup asking for an application to be allowed to run in root mode.

yes, it is risky but the main benefit of android is if you stuff it you can flash it back to original spec again using the SEUS. Dont let the fact that its risky put you off, just make sure you have everything backed up before you make and changes :)

root your phone, install titanium backup and backup any apps that you want - then go play :D

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
Ok, so I did unrevoked and have an unrooted phone. Started to get bored with the stock 2.2 and wanted better battery life.

My Dinc has an SLCD screen. So, when I go into the standard clockwork recovery, it goes to a black screen with white bars on the side. I had to do a custom flash recovery for my phone through unrevoked/flash. I then did a nand backup.

Tonight, I downloaded MIUI and attempted to install through the recovery flash. I ended up getting errors. So, I then thought that I needed to go through the ROM Manager app.... when I tried to flash the ROM, it automatically switched my recovery back to the Clockworks recovery..... then tried to go into the recovery portion of the ROM flash. Needless to say, I had to do a battery pull. Now when I try to do a normal boot, the phone freezes at the white screen that reads "HTC Incredible". If I boot into recovery... I can get to the hboot screen with the three droids at the bottom, but a script comes up on the screen and I think that it says something about no image... from there I can navigate around the recovery menue, but nothing works for me getting past this. If I go to recovery, it just keeps going to the black screen with the two white bars.

Is there anything that I can do. I am wondering if it is trying to flash the ROM everytime it comes on.... but this recovery method is not working on my phone.

Any help would be greatly appreaciated!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
I believe you need a special clockwork recovery for SCLD screens. Not exactly sure where to find it on here, but it should be hanging around somewhere. I hope I helped ya out a bit, good luck.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
OK, so I was working a 24 hour shift yesterday when I posted this... unable to download any zip or exe file (damn firewalls)... This morning I was able to remove the miui zip from the root of the sd card via card reader. I then copied the PPB31IMG.zip to the root of my sd card. Then booted into recovery. I asked if I wanted to flash this file, I said yes and then it gave me the correct recovery menue. from there I was able to choose the recovery image that I had created yesterday. It seemed as though it was going to work, booted up to a stock rom that required manual setup (like on a new phone). Then I started to get FC's all over the place. I was able to find on my sd card two other nandroids that were saved in a different place than the only one that recovery allowed me to choose from. I moved the newly found recovery folders to the same location as the first and now I had those recovery options listed. I chose one from last week and thankfully my phone is restored and working.

I am not sure if this information will help anyone with an SLCD Dinc. There seems to be a huge difference in how these phones react to roms and tweaks. I am very hesitant to attempt any other ROMs at this time. On my eris, I flashed about 30 different ROMs and about 5 differnet radios. I am not new to this, but this SLCD Dinc has been a headache.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doug piston:
Any Aosp rom on an Slcd takes a different kernel. Get yourself the koush test#2 kernel and just keep it on your sd card. Flash it everytime you do a AOSP rom.

Sense based roms all seem to be ok as the kernel was built with Slcd in mind.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
Thanks for the info on the AOSP roms. I did not know either. I wonder if there is a way to make the AOSP roms to support it by providing the new kernal in the flash or at least making a note on the AOSP ROM forum page that states the issues with SLCD Dinc's and what needs to be done to avoid problems. I would venture to say that anyone new to this stuff and was feeling brave would not be able to figure out how to restore there phone when it was acting the way mine was. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks again for the info.

It used to not bother me, but now I'm running a lot of gray in my theme, and instead of the gray, all I see is the purple tint (due to me having a 002 Nova). I'm almost positive that I saw some sort of color calibration tool mentioned here that could eliminate the tint outside of the one in CM. I tried searching, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or is the CM one still the only option?

I got it working, make sure to flash the universal AOSP version and not the sense version. Yes I'm running a de-odex sense ROM incase your wondering. Then install the calibrator controller apk and say bye bye purple screen.

How long are you leaving it? it takes a good 15 min (depending on the speed of your card) for android to write a data.img file. Sometimes this will be provided for you but most times its better to let android set it up itself.

Leave it for 15 - 30 minutes. It should start up, also check your radio, its should be the .50 series, not .51.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skud51:
Hi All,

I recently switched from Blackberry to an unlocked Bell Mobility Vibrant on Sasktel. I'm having issues with dialing long distance numbers which require the added "1" to the number.

I store all my contacts in the usual Outlook format eg. (306) 555-1212. My blackberry would automatically add the 1 prefix when dialing these numbers, but I can't for the life of me find out how to do this on my Android. It always dials the number as it's stored in the contact and I get a "you have dialed a number to which long distance charges apply" message.

If I change a contact to include the 1 then it dials fine, but I don't want to have to change them to a "non-standard format" by manually including the 1.

I have the Doc's 7.5 Froyo ROM on my phone and I can't remember if it worked prior to that (I only had it for a day or so). I wonder if it has to do with the ROM not having North America localization built-in?

So, I guess a couple of things:

1) Does anyone with the stock 2.1 bell ROM have these issues

2) Anyone else with the 2.2 Froyo ROM having these issues?

3) Is there a better way to make this work other than adding 1 to every contact?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
So you don't want to know wheter you are dialing long distance or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skud51:
Well, I do know if I'm dialing LD or not. Sasktel requires 11 digits for LD calls. However, I'd like to keep all my contacts in the standard (306) 555-1234 format.

My blackberry would automatically prepend 1 to the numbers and I wouldn't have this issue, however my SGS does not. It always dials the number exactly as it is in the contacts resulting in an LD error message.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
ive compared the I4 and Vibrant tirelessly after seeing my friends I4. I was blown away and confused by how good the I4 OS looks, its pretty shocking because there is nothing else like it, at least in the domestic mobile device arena. I was actually pissed off that my vibrant looked so much fuzzier, i almost stopped using it and just pulled out my old nexus I was so bummed.

But after I looked into it further it became clear that the I4's visual advantage is limited to the OS, which is definitely important but it doesnt include media, so the Vibrant's samoled does have an advantage in that department. Also, I think the I4 is much easier to see in daylight, the Vibrant is somewhat better than than the Nexus, which is virtually invisible under the sun, but the Vibrant is still no treat to use outside.

The I4 is far and away better looking as far as the operating system which basically includes all lines; apps and their icons, text, the browser, you cant see pixels, its not even close. Also, the old and new Iphones alike scroll without blurring like Android does (I believe its because of GPU acceleration which, if Im not mistaken, Android will add with Gingerbread?), it keeps its resolution while scrolling which makes a big difference visually, particularly in the browser. With Android phones, once you are pressing the screen to scroll in the browser, you can see a huge difference between pressing and not pressing, as soon as you let up the screen goes back to its optimal quality. But the Vibrant absolutely looks better with all media.

I4 has more pixels on a smaller screen with crazy pixel density, so that part really cant be personal preference, unless you prefer fuzzier lines/text. But it is relative, if the I4 didnt exist I would be wild for the Vibrants screen in media and the OS alike. But the I4 obviously has a better look in the OS alone, but not media.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
Comparing Angry Birds is a bad comparison - the iPhone version is not optimized for the iPhone4 display, I don't think. It's a lower resolution than the Android version.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Retina display has higher pixel density, and you have to try real hard to distinguish between the pixels, however if you put two screens together and just look at them without digging your nose into your phone you can hardly see that SAMOLED is a bit washed out compared to the Retina, but once you fire up a high quality video SAMOLED will take it any day due to its brightness and dynamic contrast. I do think colors on Sammy are over saturated like with almost all of their LCD/LED panels.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanwal236:
What are you talking about, I've used my phone in direct sunlight in the middle of the day and the screen is easily readable with MINIMUM brightness, unless your screen is dirty and is being extra reflective because of it, this screen works amazing in the sun, on full its clear even with glare

Also, my vibrant's browser does not blur, I just tested it for a goods few mins and no bluring at all

And lastly on discussion, the i4's screen resolution + the smaller size of the screen kinda makes you think its sharper but its a smaller screen...does a higher resolution help it at all? Do you see any distinguishable difference from a lower res screen?

The only advantage i4 has is how dim and how bright the display can get because its an lcd however super amoled wins overall
