[Droid Incredible General] thumpernc24:
First off I am a total newb so please excuse me for being stupid.

I just rooted my phone with the help of a friend (my phone was force closing everything), we used titanium backup and installed the new rom.

The problem is that I do not have contacts in the new rom. I restored using the backup file and the contacts are still not listed in people. Everyone is there when I open up 'phone' and I can type in and call people as if they are a contact, but they arent in listed in 'people' The phone still has all the same problems in the original restore so I would definitely like to use the new rom.

can I used backup assistant to get my contacts on the new rom? How do I do it?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] spence341:
First thing I would go to is the people icon, select menu, then view. See if the folder that has contacts listed is checked off.

There should be no reason you can see the contacts when you use PHONE but not people.

The other thing you should do is have all your contacts sync'd with Google. When you flash a ROM, you should Backup existing and wipe all. You will then need to re-setup all your settings/Email accounts. If you use Titanuim, you should use it to install apps only, not data as well.

If you have all your contacts as Google contacts, when you re-set up your GMAIL, it will automatically re-load your contacts.
[Droid Incredible General] v941726:
I use BA also. how can I get it?
[Droid Incredible General] spence341:
What Rom are you running? If you are on Redemptive like the OP stated they were, after you flash the Rom (2.1.2 or 2.1.3), there will be a folder on your SD Card named Redemptive. In that folder is a flashable zip for BU Assistant.

As I stated in my previous post, Syncing with Google it the easiest way to do this. I do not have anybody saved under PHONE contacts, they are all Google or Exchange Active Sync.
[Droid Incredible General] v941726:
yeah. I found it. i dont like syncing with Google though
[Droid Incredible General] Hypcrsy:
Backup Assistant created issues for me though because I would be getting 3 or 4 duplicate entries for the same person. Even though you can link the entries together which is very convenient, if you have to edit one you would get a choice of editing the home number under google and sometime 2 or 3 copies of the other number listed under "phone". What I would do is export a copy of the contacts to the SD card as a csv file, and then import them again immediately under the "google" option. That way everything you have is all under one label.
[Droid Incredible General] v941726:
BA worked very nice with other roms. but id rather use this rom

Comeon!! I need your help!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bearisusanto:
To know wether our phone is root or not is simple. When we connect using adb shell, its started with $ or # Its mean when at terminal show $, it only user, if # its root

At /system/bin, is there a su file?

At /system/app, is there a superuser.apk?

If all like above you dont have, you only a user

I had sprint football live running fine on cm6.1 since it was released, but all of a sudden today it borked out on me. Whenever I go to launch it, it will start and just close... it doesn't FC just acts liek I closed it.

I cleared data, rebooted and nothing. I just uninstalled it so I'm wondering if someone can post an apk that works for them.. or any additional info on this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epphllps:
Same here. No idea why. I'm on the latest cm nightly and toasts .35 kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Did you ever install the cm6.1 rc ? Did it work for you then? Mine did, just all of a sudden borked. I wonder if sprint done some kind of update or something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epphllps:
Yeah it worked on 6.1 rc1 and today is the first time it hasn't. I wouldn't think cm has changed something that prevents it from working. Probably on sprint's side. Should get sorted out ASAP I think.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
It's definitely not something in cm 6.1 , I haven't flashed any nightlys... still running the cm6.1 RC .. so yea, prolly sprint =\

Verizon has the contract with the nfl now. So I am pretty sure the servers are no longer working for sprint carriers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Sprint football live isn't the same as verizons NFL mobile
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Apollo-:
Threw me for a loop too! They updated Sprint NFL. New version is 2.2.44. Feel free to use this one I modded. Just adb push it to /system/app. It's dark transparent with white text...enjoy!

EDIT: Only modded the widget, I should have been more clear on that!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Thanks buddy, do I have to use ADB? Never pushed anything with adb before =x lol

I do appreciate you posting it up tho!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Would someone mind giving a quick rundown on how I would push thatapk through ADB? I deleted the old apk off my phone and put the one from this thread on my SD card... but I'm not sure what to do next =x

Thanks Guys =)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
adb push Sprint_NFL-mod.apk /system/app/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
So I just open up the sdk and type that?

c:\ android-sdk-windows\tools\

then adb push Sprint_NFL-mod.apk/system/app

And thats it?

**edit** By the Way, you playing mw2 on xbox or ps3? I'm on ps3
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
yea or adb push /place-where-file-is /system/app/ ex. adb push ~/Downloads/sprint-football-**** /system/app/

im on xbox 360. Tuesday its black ops all day in this *****....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
OK I opened the cmd, got the phone on debugging

Opened the sdk and typed adb shell sysrw then tried to push it by typing what you told me and it isn't working.

It is spamming me with a command list..

I have the apk on my adcard and I moved it to my sdk/tools folder so I'm not sure whats happening =\
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
well it would be something like

adb push sdk/tools/sprint-football.apk /system/app/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
lol thanks anyway, I can never get adb crap to work right for me!

Good luck on black OPS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
i just did it this morning with the football app and im on cm6.1 so it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
I know it does, I just can't get all the commands and the steps right. I tried searching a bunch of stuff on ADB but it just isn't helping.

It's definitely user error
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Just use this its better.

http://db.tt/AgiNKP2

gave up on 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Apollo-:
I usually just push files to the phone, but maybe it will work if you just put it on your SDcard and use a file manager and install from within. Have not verified if it installs that way. Or perhaps install HTC Sync and install that way!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
I have that nfl mobile, it doesn't give me the college stuff I need.

This apk doesn't install from a file manager like the other one did ...tried it too.

It's ok guys, I appreciate the help... I musta borked somethign somewhere because I typed everything exactly how u said at least 20 times... **** it, I give up.. May just go back to a BS sense rom lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Apollo-:
You have this much time invested...don't give up now! Try this, boot into recovery with phone hooked up from adb like this:

adb reboot recovery

once in recovery type this:

adb shell

mount /system

then type this:

exit

then type:

adb push Sprint_NFL-mod.apk /system/app/

If that does not work, not sure what to say. You'll get it my friend!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Doesn't work, everything worked until I got to the "push" part and it still just gives me a list of all the possible commands, liek I typed some wrong..but I tried it a lot.

Where are you putting the apk. ? You put it in your sdk/tools directory? Thats where mine is, but I still can't get it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vdubtx:
Just search for nfl-mobile.apk in google. I found an updated one yesterday and have it on mine now working.

No need to use adb to install it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Apollo-:
Yes, in the sdk tools folder.

Like David said, make sure there is a space between .apk and /system/app/ and be sure to type just like we said:

adb push Sprint_NFL-mod.apk /system/app/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
OMG I'm a retard, I put the "space" in there and I think it worked. I thought he said No space, I'm a dork

Now, after I done that... do I have to type anything to get out of it or just close the command box and unplug my phone?

Thanks for the help. I think I got it! Wow what a relief
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Apollo-:
No problem man, hope you enjoy, nothing special but it sure looks better than the original white in my opinion!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Oh you mean the widget? I never really use it, but the one you made looks great so I just might find a place for it!

The main thing is, the app works! I love nfl mobile but it breaks far too often and it doesn't have college like the sprint one does..

Thanks again, as well as to David for the help, sorry I went all retard on it! I knew it was user error tho lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
you got it? I kinda gave up on you for a sec. Glad you got it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Yea man I got it, I had a pretty long night and was obviously reading what you guys were saying wrong. Wasted a lot of time lol.. I knew I was messing up just didn't know where.

All gravy now tho, thanks again bud

[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
My Mugen EXTENDED Life battery arrived this week and I am not getting the sort of hours that I thought I would get .. I have WiFi and GPS turned off and still getting 24 hours with NO USE AT ALL .. But first....

I use Advanced Task Manager and I just turned on my Streak after not touching it for 24 hours. I go to the area where you END TASKS and I don't think there is one thing that isn't running. Even programs that I have never used since I downloaded them.

It's like my Streak is possessed. It has a mind of its own. ALSO, no matter what I do I cannot make the screen stay on for more than 10 seconds. I change it to 2 minutes but within no time at all it has gone back to the 10 second turn off.

When I end EVERYTHING I close and open Adv Task Manager and these are now running ..

Alarm Clock

Calendar

Outlook Tasks

Tasks Storage

Advanced Task Manager

I wanted my screen to stay on so I could STARE AT IT and see what starts running first, making EVERYTHING follow ..

aaarrrggghhhh ... Am I just going insane ?? I am not kidding when I said that EVERYTHING was running when I turned it on for the first time today.

Diane

CLOSED Advanced Task Manager. Played a game called Beads .. Opened Advanced task Manager .. Besides the ones that were already running .. this is what is running NOW.

Swype

Maps

Beads turns on my maps ?? Playing a game starts Swype? I guess it is a chain reaction? If the Streak checks my email something else will start? I have CNN and a few other News websites on the Streak. They started by them selves or something started them during the time the sStreak was in my purse and also one of my Twitter programs started by itself last night. ONE LAST THING. Beads was NOT running. I ended the game and it really ended. Still it turned on Maps .. or something did.

[Streak 5 General] Azamatka:
Please check the frequency of email-fetch on your Streak. It might be so, that it checks your emails kinda every 5 minutes, which kills the battery so fast!
[Streak 5 General] nightworker-nn11:
What rom r u using?

Maybe a factory reset N install a new rom I.e 2.2

Also has to do with refresh rates on your Widgets, I had the same problem when I got my streak back in June, I had every screen with an updating widget N it just killed my battery. Looked flash to my mates though, until then started laughing at me having to recharge all the time.

[Streak 5 General] rvnteck:
Im also having this same problem, battery doesnt last for a day, it needs to be charge up 2 times atleast to last a day for just regular usage and not even heavy browsing and multi media stuffs.

Im just hoping the official 2.2 froyo will fix this issue

Right now Im getting alot of dissapointments on my Streak :(
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
What have u setup ss your mail app ?
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
I'm having the same issue. Yes I have several email accounts that are checked every 15min. Maybe it's normal but my Touch Pro2 would go almost 24-hours with the same configuration. I unplugged my Streak from the charger 7 hours ago and it's at 59% right now. I am noticing the battery life is getting longer as it goes. First day the battery didn't last 6 hours and it was at 1%...
[Streak 5 General] rvnteck:
just my gmail and 1 yahoo account. Now Im not using it as a phone anymore and its on flight mode, its still draining its battery fast

And my shock is, I'll leave it fully charge when I go to sleep and in the morning I'll see it 47% left in its battery. Device has no sim card, on flight mode and not being use, and still consumes that much battery???

Its on DJ Steve's Froyo 2.2 v1

My last hope is the official Froyo to fix the battery drain and bluetooth headset in-call volume issue.
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Your using the gmail app for checking google mail right ? OR are u using the email app?

Im using gmail app for google mail and email app for hotmail. I notice my hotmail is checking every 15mins, so I changed it to never and I uninstalled the yahoo app for my yahoo mail. right now Im charging to full charge then I'll monitor the consumption later. Then I'll report back. thanks
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Delete any accounts setup to use the email app and report back, i had the same problem with the email app, just creamed my battery, after switching to gmail app (fortunatly i only have gmail accounts) i got days out of my battery, not hours

I kid you not

Report back
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
I did a complete reset and whatever the problem was is now GONE .. After the reset I did an over night charge. Woke up Sunday with a FULL Mugen Extended battery. My son played with my Streak for hours Sunday. Mostly YouTube and internet radio. I spent lots of time re-installing all the programs and entering email accounts etc. I have my settings to NEVER turn the phone screen off because it is just annoying .. ESPECIALLY when playing a 'thinking' game.

Today has been 72 hours since I unplugged it from the charger and I am at 58% .. I am not going to put it on the charger until it won't start !!

I followed your advice about the emails, fully charged it around 5am and now its almost 1am after midnight (total of 20hrs of standby not being use, no sim card and its on flight mode)

my remaining battery now is down to 37%

Somehow a big difference of improvement, I'll also try shEEEsh advice about doing a hard reset on my Streak once I get my Mugen extended battery tomorrow.

Thanks for all the great advice guys!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr3wster:
Hi Everyone!

I was looking at getting a device with a high res screen and fast processor to use as a Portable Media Player... was tossing up between an Archos 5 Internet Tablet and also the HTC Droid Incredible..

.. Given I already have an iPhone 3GS (GSM) and a Palm Pre (GSM) as my main phones, I decided that I was going to save some money and buy a CDMA Droid Incredible..

.. so my question is, if I get one from ebay with a bad esn, will I still be able to flash it with a custom ROM from xda and use it as a media player? Or will the thing not start up at all? :S

Thanks!

Hey Devs,

I got a strange problem with the recovery image for PSFreedom from Amon.

I flashed the recovery image without problems. The phone restarts as usual.

System runs just fine....

But! I can't access the recovery mode. When I try booting while holding the home button (as usual) I will get stuck in the boot-screen.

To get out I have to remove the battery.

Okay well that was not the point where it becomes strange. That something doesn't has been seen before.

But when I utilize fastboot and boot directly into the recovery image for PSFreedom it just works.

Well I didn't check with my PS3 at this time because I'm still confused with my G1...

The normal RA 1.7 works just well.

Okay some more about my Setup:

recovery RA 1.7

Kernel 2.6.29-6-cyanogenmod

Mod CM 4.2.15.1

Radio-2-22-19-261

Well some more?

I would love to give an recovery log but I have no clue how to provide one when I have no option to get to the recovery mode...

Maybe someone has a clue.

Sure it could work, but a double tether-boot sounds... well it's just not as nice as just one tether.
