[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] teorouge:
Could you elaborate a little bit? Not afraid to dig into google search, but I'd like to know the theory behind... waht's symlinking? how do I achieve that? Note that Firefox Mobile alone takes 15MB (app data, that is), Maps and Flash grows very fast...

I'd pay for a Partition Magic/GPartED for Android to change partition size on the fly and easily, so I could increase that space and never bother again.

Anyone think its possible to replace the notification LED? I'm only curious because I would love to change it to an RGB led. Doesn't seem like a crazy idea...but that's why I'm hoping someone with more knowledge than I can chime in.
[HTC Aria General] rebel4ever:
If you have the guts, you can take the phone apart like in this youtube vid watch?v=gMI7sNY5YZg. After that you should be able to replace the led. In theory at least...

Is it possible to change firmwares without the aid of a pc?

Although I can charge my phone via USB in the main and Laptop. It will not recognise on the laptop so i can't you flash or nothing.

I get to th point were it tells me on the update service to hold the back button and plug in the USB. I do this and the Green LED goes on but nothing changes on the Update Service on my laptop it still tells my to put it in flash mode.

Even in normal conditions the menu on the phone asking me if I want to mount my sd card and the message that saids "USB debugging is on" or somthing doesn't even show up yet it charges...

Is it possible to re flash firmware OTA ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
no, it has to be via a pc......i would try uninstalling all SE software from your laptop, rebooting and reinstalling it. it sounds like a driver issue but could really be anything.

good luck!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
could actually be the cable also....i have 2 types of micro USB cables here, 1 has Power only and the other has Power+Data. i dont think you can physically tell the difference but the Power+Data has extra cables inside it for data.

using the power only cable i cannot connect to the phone at all via pc but it will charge from your pc/wall socket/car charger/etc.

probably worth checking - it did my head in for a few days;)

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bayank:
Hey all, longtime reader here, I'm trying to stream divx/avi videos from my DLNA/SMB shares, and its been such a pain figuring this out.

while trying to mount a smb share using cifsmanager app, i get error, so i need to mod my kernel i think. I got a problem when trying to insmod cifs.ko, I get a 'exec format error', and i think the problem is that you need a kernel that is compatible with the version of cifs.ko in the /system/lib/modules directory. I was using chevyno1 1ghz lv kernel, and that didnt work, but slayhers kernel was able to insmod just fine. but i still could not get the cifsmanager app to work even then.

anyone got this working? i just want to be able to stream my avi/divx movies on my nas/smb shares, and run on bugless beast v.5, preferably with chevyno1 1ghz kernel....is there a diffrent version on cifs.ko that is compatible with chevyno1 kernel?

im also open to trying a different approach to streaming movies from smb share....so far there is no app that can play divx AND stream from smb. the only workaround i see thats feasable is to mount the smb share via cifs, and it will appear as a local file for vplayer or rockplayer to play divx. I cant figure out how to mount cifs. plz help!

Try root explorer which you can download off the market for a few bucks but worth it and copy and paste to system/media and over write the default bootanimation.zip file or try via adb push command

Not too sure about flashing the file was not made to be flashable but simply to replace the default boot on system/media
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sn0wmis3r:
Try ffmpeg, it can do this. For example this command should extract 1 image for every second of video playing:

[Touch Cruise General] mc_joe:
pCarvalho's rom has support for 3G. You just need to find the right 3G dialer that adapts to the screen. In my case, i'm using PCarvalho's 6.5.3 rom (the one with the bar on the bottom) and I've got some dialers to fit the screen but there 1 bug or another that made me keep the 2G dialer. The 3G video call option, can be found (if i'm not mistaken) in Avdanced Config if it is disabled.

Do a search for 3G Dialer QVGA, you should find some that fit your needs.
[Touch Cruise General] meet.rajiv15:
i tried that also, after installation and rebooting process the dialler/skin is changed to 3g but when i press the numbers to make a call, they were not visible at all.:confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] localceleb:
I really like my first impressions with this new ROM.

1. After the initial install I switched over to launcher pro and lost the transparency

in the notification bar. Is there any way to get this back?

2. I am running the Koush test kernel. I have done quite a bit of research to try and find the perfect kernel combination, but there seems to be a lot of debate. I am obviously looking for speed and battery life coupled with the ability to listen to music while the screen is off without any skipping.

3. This is probably just a matter of time until this happens, but is there an alternate theme that changes all the menu's from white to black?

4. Are there any known battery notification skins that are compatible with MIUI? Looking for a circle battery icon.

Sorry for the list.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hextall:
Warning: I'm a complete noob... so someone should confirm.

I have the chichi red batts in ours and they go about 9-12hr with true heavy usage, read constant data up/down or games. The stock batts were good for 6-9hr. We live in an EDGE area 2-4 bars reception, screen brightness on auto, non root phones with all bloatware active.

Of course having said the above, if I fall asleep with 20% batt and sleep 8-12hr I wake up with 18-20%, 20min on the charger and I've got 50% batt.

The battery life is very good, but I don't use wi-fi and only 2g data. Even with tweaks it took a week for the phone to have long battery life. I have no idea if the battery had to be "conditioned" - doesn't make sense since it's lithium, or calibrated to the phone's battery meter.

I'm currently using the temp root solution through visionary with the assumption that if something arose that I would want to use tmobiles insurance thing to warranty my phone in the event something happened, I could just remove all traces of it as to not encounter a warranty issue. My question with the now perm root, is there anything available to unroot the device, essentially returning it to stock so there wouldn't be an issue? I don't have a problem with it voiding the warranty/insurance once its perm rooted if there is no way to return it to stock, I'll just cancel my monthly insurance charge if that's the case.

There was a post earlier today saying that all you have to do is flash it back to stock. It even had instructions. Having said that you shouldn't worry about perm root interfering with your warranty.

I just installed Cyanogen 6.1 on my HTC Hero from sprint. Everything works but there isn't any app market. I've been reading and its apparent I need to "Flash Gapps" but I have no clue how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
The reason you have to flash the Google apps separately is because Google told Cyanogen (the maker of CyanogenMod) that it's illegal to bundle them with his ROMs. While Android itself is Open Source, the Google elements (Gmail, Market, etc) are not. You flash them like you flashed the Cyanogen ROM through recovery.

You can find the zip files here: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/

You want the latest mdpi zip. hdpi is for high-resolution devices like the Evo. I would recommend using Amon-ra recovery instead of Clockwork, but for this purpose it's fine. Here's a direct link to the zip you're looking for: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip

[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
Clockwork didn't install bro. Try using the run last.bat, that one works when not rooted, I had issues when already rooted sometimes. You could also try selecting apply update.zip, I think flashing recovery in rom manager puts an update.zip on your sd which opens cockwork recovery when applied from stock rec

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pedrovay2003:
Here's the deal:

I had a Fuze not too long ago -- Unlocked and used on T-Mobile. I loved it -- I realized it wasn't the most powerful phone, but the combination of the customizable buttons and forum support made me love it. Until I tried to use it.

The battery would go down by about a percent a minute if I tried to use any emulators or surf the web through wi-fi. Is this normal? Is the Fuze battery just horrible, or did I have a jacked up unit? I tried a second battery as well, and the same thing happened. All these things were used, so I couldn't try them from out of the package. Is the battery really that bad?

Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to remove the CyanogenMod ROM and get back on the original ROM? Is there a ROM that just gets rid of the locked items?

To revert to stock you need to get ESPRIMG.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard. Boot into the bootloader and it will automatically install stock.

Out of curiosity why did you flash CM6 after rooting, you could've stayed stock with root instead.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texaslittleangel:
YAY someone replied!!! (Sorry the excitement but I have been posting for days on different forums and no response:( )

I think I have the ESPRIMG.zip already on there (it's the file that transfers when doing the initial root right?). Now what exactly do you mean by "put it in the root of your sdcard?" Like on its on and not in a folder?

To answer your question, i followed the instructions on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754669 and since it said to add a ROM and the link provided had several links I just looked for one. The CM6 seemed to have good reviews and I just went along with it.

I am a complete noob to flashing/rooting/hacking/etc... phones and thought it was actually needed.

Once I am in bootloader, I do nothing and let the phone act or do I have to select certain options?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbzfanatic:
Not true, although that is a way, but generally the espr.img file floating around is the engineering build, not stock. If you want the stock ROM with root simply install CR_MOD. It has the ota update applied as well as root maintained. You will also need to remove the espr.img file as it is only needed once.

One other thing, someone is going to do this, so I'll put it nicely.

This is the Development section, not Q&A. This doesn't really have anything to do with development of ROMs or apps, simply how to flash another ROM. There are many guides on how to flash a different ROM, and using the search feature (which you should have done) would have pointed you to CR_MOD which is a stock ROM. If you don't like some of the apps simply remove them from the zip file.
