I've had no issues at all with my MF protector, got it as soon as they came out (literally first batch) and haven't looked back
[Desire Accessories] freeflyer:
i'm interested to know what the official HTC P360's are like, and the ones that come with the case mate cases.
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
If the HTC ones are anything like the HD2 ones they'll be terrible
[Desire Accessories] aljwatson69:
The problem with the official HTC ones for me was that they are exactly the same size as the screen, and I found it impossible to get it applied so that none of the edges were hanging over. This meant that air bubbles always leaked in and I just couldn't get a good fit. I bought some cheap ones of eBay which I got a much better application with.
[Desire Accessories] jjkshaughnessy:
I got mine from SuperEtrader-UK on amazon. only a couple of quid for six and they are excellent. plus they were delivered in 2 days. was so impressed that i also bought a (again cheap) case from them.
[Desire Accessories] sidtec:
I've had the HTC one on my phone since May:

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...-Screen-Protector-SP-P360/ProductReviews.html

It went on perfectly and I haven't had to use the second one yet.
[Desire Accessories] neils31:
I have an invisibleshield from www.zagg.com, delivered in about 3 days.

i have used these on about 5 different devices :)
[Desire Accessories] p3eps:
I put the zagg one on before using the phone. It went on well (front, back and button area) - but the screen one seems to have some nasty marks on it after a few days.

Thankfully zagg do free replacements under their lifetime warranty, so I'm getting a replacement sent out. It still costs $4 dollars postage though, and I have to pay to return the damaged one to somewhere in America! I guess I'd probably be cheaper buying a new one!
[Desire General] bradavon:
I've got an HTC Desire not bought through any mobile provider and now running Froyo (sent OTA) and am UK based, in case that makes any difference.

What's the easiest and safest method to do this? Is there something I can use which is basically a one button click? Without having to resort to partitioning SD Cards etc... I've got a recent "My Backup Pro" backup but am guessing Rooting doesn't wipe the phone or revert back to Android 2.1?

Please note I've never Rooted (or Installed a Custom ROM) on either Android (or WinMob) before. I'd like to do this, so I can install SetCPU and hopefully increase battery life. I do work in 2nd line IT Support though, so am technically minded.

Thanks.
[Desire General] tudork:
Subscribe to this question. I am in the same situation (but not in the UK) and thinking about rooting but too scared to go through a seemingly complicated procedure. Under Android software section in this forum I found threads discussing applications that can root phones. I wonder if anyone tried them on Desire? Also, can I root but still keep with the stock ROM? I don't think I want to start experimenting and changing ROMs. Thanks for your help.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Nice and simple - use unrEVOked 3.21

***BUT***

Before you do this it's best to check what ROM you're currently running on at present. To find this go to:

Settings>About phone>Software information>Software version

Make a note of the number (e.g. 2.29.405.2) and then go here:

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo

If you can see a file matching your version number download it as it means should you ever need to return the handset under warranty you can reset it to factory.

If there ISN'T a file matching your serial number then you need to think hard if rooting is worth the risk as until a backup RUU file is available you'll never be able to go back to stock
[Desire General] bradavon:
I've finally got around to doing this, so I can use SetCPU and Autostarts. I'll report back if battery life increases.

It couldn't simpler btw. Thanks.

p.s - My software version is 2.29.405.5, which is listed in that link. Also thanks.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Download the RUU from here, it's a better link (less prone to failing):

http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
[Desire General] bradavon:
Now I've run unrEVOked 3.32 on my Desire will I still be notified about OTA updates?

I know I probably don't need it but it's still good to know. Thanks.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Yes you will but do NOT accept them
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks. I presume because it will unroot my phone or could it now brick it?

If all it does is unroot the phone, can I not just root it again?

The one that shows up in the status panel, which is replaced by roaming etc when not on the default network. I ask this because I'm not on Sprint (imported) so it kind of bothers me that it shows that. I know there's ways to change it on HTCs and the Droids, but I'm at a loss on what to do on Galaxy S.

Sprint. I loaded a custom PRL that identifies my network as its home, so basically I'm looking for a way to change the home network identifier from "Sprint" to whatever. In the examples I mentioned, people changed it to their name in an understandable display of narcissism.

Hello,

I purchased a used HTC Magic. The SD card with a backup or restore was not included. I'd like to create one. First I'd like to update my ROM.

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27

Since I didn't root or flash the phone I am little bit lost on what to do flash a new ROM and create a backup? Can I jump into the middle of the process? Can I just flash a new ROM on the already installed one? Backup or Restore?

What are the best threads / posts that will lead me on the right path?

Thanks for your help,

Cheers,

Mike

Do I have to revert the phone back to factory? If so how I bought the phone with android because it was already done
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mini_robot:
Is it a t-mobile hd2 that your trying to use on ATT? If it is then simply take out the t-mobile card n place the ATT card in I believe. Then it'll ask u for a code I think.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dayv_73@yahoo.com:
yes it should but it doesn't... I have been talking to a few people that know more about hacking and I found out that some people think the phone will be faster in android if you strip windows down to the bear essentials and apparently that was removed. I think I will have to find someone to re flash the phone. although I was playing with the phone and found the imei# for the android phone which was a htc desire does anyone think if I payed for the unlock code for that phone it would work?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dayv_73@yahoo.com:
I guess there aren't any hackers in this forum... No help for any phone I've posted on:mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronn888:
I had the exact same issue. The WM 6.5 rom I had didn't have a check to detect locked sim, so I booted into android (Mattc 1.7 at the time I believe) with att sim and android prompted for code and I entered the one tmobile gave me and it unlocked it.

I would say make sure you gave the people correct IMEI and that the code is correct, because doing it this way does work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dayv_73@yahoo.com:
I tried that and it didn't work it told me it was the wrong code it does give me the right imei# for the phone the software came off of but not sure if that would unlock it because windows is still the controlling os isn't it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malaeus:
you shouldnt have bought the phone with android on it. that is not really good for the developers either. your best bet as you probably do not know what the previous person did to it, is to wipe the phone completely (use search on how to task29 the phone), and reflash windows ROM and radio. then place the android files on the SD card as instructed and your done.

do not ask how to do all this, and hope for someone to write out a big long how to.

go look it up. thats what search is for.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rayzone12:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] onslaught86:
Use File Explorer in WinMo, navigate to the /Windows folder, make sure "show hidden files" is enabled, and tap the file called SIMlock (or something else very similarly named). It should then prompt you for the SIM unlock code, regardless of whether there's a SIM in there or not. If that file is missing or doesn't work, flash back to a stock ROM.

Can anyone extract the Live wallpaper (the default sense live wallpaper) apk for me please? thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] phunkycow:
Based on this post, I've created a zip with all the files you need, extracted from my phone with the latest OTA.

1) If you need to apply this in AOSP (say, you're working in an AOSP custom ROM :p) you do the following:

adb push system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk system/app
adb push system/lib/libicule.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libiculx.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10_wallpapers.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10Graphics.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot

2) If you need it for a froyo sense ROM, you only need to do this:

adb push system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk system/app

as the required libraries are probably already on your system.

Hope it works, haven't tested it myself.

Hey guys, i got an idea for an interested dev. I dont have a android phone yet, but I've been lurkin around here for a while and have learned a lot from all you guys.

Now, i for one know people who go through others phones. Needless to say, it is annoying. I have an idea to con these guys out of there snooping.

Its a lock screen app that implicates both that we know already, the standard bar swiping one

and the combo one

I was thinking maybe we could get an app that let you swipe the bar, like if it was going to open it, but then act like if nothing happened. To actually unlock it, you would put the combo in invisibly, either by swiping through specific sectors, as if the screen were a grid.

This is my idea to you devs for a safer phone.:p
[Android Apps and Games] ii Candor ii:
I like this idea. Would be a good April fools trick too.
[Android Apps and Games] kkevin94:
hahaaha, i know right. just hope a dev is willing to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] ii Candor ii:
Can't imagine it would be that hard since both items are already built.
[Android Apps and Games] jer_stud56:
Hmm well on cyanogenmod you can just hide the "dots" on the Pattern-lock. I use it currently. My current background is black, so that's why it's all black. It's just an extra security measure. Anyone without an android phone wouldn't really know what to do considering it doesn't even show the "Incorrect pattern" message (which you can turn on or off).

Note that this is the normal pattern lock with just everything hidden (except for the cyanogenmod message at the top, which can be turned off/changed to something else.) There's no slide-unlock then pattern-unlock, just pattern-unlock.

For the time being you have to have WM, as Android runs of the SD card. Work is being done on nand, so that WM can be removed and Android will be on the phone.

It's not semi root. The only issue is NAND lock, and you get used to that. :D

The G2 is either NAND or eMMC locked (I've not looked into because I don't have one and don't want to depress myself) BUT there appears to be a hack in the recovery system which is how the G2/HD/Z have just got permaroot, I have managed to delete preinstalled app's that reside on the NAND locked system partition thanks to Paul @ MoDaCo :D This gives me hope that we'll also enjoy permaroot soon.
