how do you make a new folder i cant figure it out
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
ur astro file manger.

*Make a new folder. (open astro, nav to were you want the folder,hit the

menu key then new)

*Name this folder what ever you want but put a . (dot) in front of the folder name

*Now put your photos in that .folder and now they will be hidden from the gallery

sdcard

photos

.hidden photos

camera pix

etc
[G2 and Desire Z General] clamman:
thanks for all the help i got it
[G2 and Desire Z General] -FuRBz-:
Say when you get a pic msg.. can u specify what folder the pic to go to? Or do I have to use astro to move it from the download folder?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
When u get a pic msg they r auto save to sdcard/download

So you will have to manaully move them

Hey guys,

I borrowed the old sd card from a friend then install the android and it works!

LOL My original SD card of touch HD didnt work. I think only old sd card works right now. make sure you format it with the tool here http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/

and the issue about the camera is not fixed yet. we have to wait for the next update i guess.

goodluck guys

The camera in WinMo will not get messed up by Android
[Touch HD General] Black Antitoon:
Hmm... Is the camera just not working with Android or is there any risk of the camera getting stuck and not working even in WinMo after using Android?

Probably this is a dumb question, but I recall reading of such problems with Android and can't find it in the FAQ.
[Touch HD General] FrEcP:
As it's and kernel related (driver like) problem and it just doesnt address the camera at all atm - there shouldnt be any risk - so it's like there would be no camera for the system.

But dont try pin me on that later :)

(Dunno if it also applies for testkernels,...)

Anyway - what u could have found is the standart termes - android is experimental - all at youre own risk - but there shouldn't be one atm (think i read it somewhere some month ago)

greetings, i need SQlite3 to change my android id, since everyone has the same id on the froyo leak. if anybody can provide me with it, its located in

/system/xbin

to be specific i need it to access storm8 games. they identify your account by iphones UDID or android_id. for those interested in changing it just follow the following commands using adb

su
cd /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings
sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> insert into secure (’name’, ‘value’ ) values (’android_id’,'what-ever-your-device-id-was-before’);
sqlite> .exit
Reboot

or simply download android id changer, which personally i don't like.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gol_n_dal:
Folks,

Finally got a ROM I like and after a few months wth the desire I wondered what is Good/Bad in terms of battery life and background apps.

I downloaded SetCPU from the market so I could at least contribute a bit.

I've now found myself with a Battery monitor, Juice Plotter, 3D Watchdog, Juice Defender, APM Droid, News & Weather, Advanced Task Killer (not running in the background) and the usual Android stuff.

Are there any things good or bad generally. I must say that SetCPU seems to deliver fairly well. I guess some of the other stuff is redundant. Also I'm not certain how to measure how these, and other, apps affect the system.

Any general help would be appreciated.

Colin
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Colin,

Lots of people get hung up on battery performance, I've always found it to be pretty good.

I've found that with normal use I get at least 24 hours, which is heaps as I charge it overnight.

In my experience there are 3 things that use up the battery - the screen, gps and 3g. The other thing I have found is that your radio version can contribute to how much battery you use - I normally go with the latest, however some radios work better in some places and carriers than others - so there's a bit of trial and error involved.

Oh, and get rid of all your battery monitoring apps - they will most likely be using more battery than they save.....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gol_n_dal:
Thanks,

I'm running the latest Radio at the moment, I've not tried any between the old one I had and this one.

I'll get rid of the Battery Monitor as it seems much better now that I've got SetCPU running on it. The SetCPU profiles might not be perfect at the moment but the app certainly helps.

I was annoyed once when the battery got to 15%, the phone piped up Low Battery then the stupid thing just switched off a couple of seconds later, made calling a taxi a pain.

i was going between ROMS trying out different versions. then i installed Vision BaconBits 0.3 on a Modaco DESIRE Z rom (i know, i know) & now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.

then i noticed i couldn't revert back to the stock ROM like i've done before. i wiped & tried again, but to no avail.

says MAIN VERSION is older or something like that.

i even tried the Modaco ROM again too, but nada. it fails.

oh yeah... and for some reason i got S-ON again. i'm like wtf?

so... did i brick my phone? or is there a way to get it going again?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azrael3123:
I'm still new to this so take my advice with a grain of salt but I think that "Main version is older issue" can be avoided by using the hex editor to change the build number on the ROM. Try changing the version with the hex editor as per this post:

and then try to flash it. Hopefully thats all you need to do.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdTeach1680:
pull the battery, wait a couple seconds and put back in. now hold the volume down button and press power. the phone will boot into fastboot. use volume down key to select recovery and hit the power button to confirm. if CW is still on your phone it will load, if you have s-on idk if it will load without su privilages or not im not a dev but try it.

edit: i have soft bricked my g1 like 10 times, the main thing to remember is backup, wipe wiPE WIPE! and follow instructions to a T.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digikid:
If you can get vol dwn + pwr to work, then you can scroll to recovery. from there, you should be able to restore your backup from rom manager. If it's not in that one, then hold trackpad button + power and scroll to recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0naLd:
if you can get into the clockwork recovery and can successfully get adb to recognize the phone, try the downgrade from OTA. it will restore your phone back to out of the box.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azrael3123:
I can understand your hesitation but if you read through the post you will see that many people have tested it and it should work fine. At this point its the only way to downgrade to stock due to the "Main version is older" issue and, assuming you truly can't access clockwork recovery, I don't see what other method there is. Whats really got me twisted is the S-on part; I could've predicted some issue by flashing BB onto the Z rom but I wouldn't have seen that coming. Is it even possible to flash anything while S-on is enabled?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergear:
maybe you can use an offical update.zip that is signed. i dunno
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digikid:
Hmmm...then you didn't install the CWM recovery. You should try to flash the rom that shipped with the phone. You can get it here. To do that, you need to get it onto your memory card as update.zip, then boot to recovery and choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" and then you should have a bootable phone again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ ELITE:
thx for the reponses...

don't get me wrong, i feel u. i may have no choice but to try that. i'm getting desperate.

however, the current ROM loaded is the Modaco DESIRE Z w/the Vision BaconBits 0.3 updated to it... and after that, it kept boot looping. plus the fact that i have S-ON.

have em. renamed em. tried em. (e.g.: PC10IMG.zip[, updated.zip)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0naLd:
oh that sucks

I was stuck in the same boat as you were. I had a stock rom permarooted and messed up editting on of the /system/ files. and got stuck with endless reboot. i then flashed this: [ROM] Desire Z Sense on the G2 (via HBOOT) because it was the only rom out at the time. It successfully loaded, but i wanted to go back to stock. i then flashed the OTB rom and got stuck with a desire z rom with s-on. No other rom would flash so i proceeded to temp-root and do the downgrade from OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renn9420:
You lost root. Have to install the PC10.img and re-root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azrael3123:
But in order to edit the files necessary to flash down to the stock ROM, he needs to have at least temp root so he can pull and edit the misc.img (I think). If he has S-on and is stuck in a boot loop, how can he access visionary or terminal emulator in order to set up that temp root? I think that's the biggest issue unless I'm missing something.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digikid:
Shouldn't the stock rom have everything that's needed? Plus it's signed so it should flash with s-on.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaalaagaa:
Actually that happened to me yesterday.

My friend fixed it for me so i cant say exactly what he did but i know he was using ADB.

As long as it loops i think you fine.

He had to put the workable rom on the sd card first but he had to do it from another resource since the phone wouldn't go pass the welcome screen.

But i doubt is bricked. SO patience and research.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc91988:
It will flash with s-on but he can't get into the os to achieve temp root needed to get the files needed maybe some one can do a factory wipe and then backup with nandroid and then send it to him so he can place it in the clockworkmod folder on sdcard and then restore to clean slate
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc91988:
Correct lots of patience you will most likely need to use hex editor from the link above
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perquisitor_omnia:
I'm new at this, but if he can still boot into recovery, couldn't he flash a S-OFF hboot (like when you perm-root) and flash a good ROM via fastboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ ELITE:
when i had the stock ROM, i used CWM to make a back up. then i tried out the Modaco DESIRE Z ROM.

E:signature verification failed

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renn9420:
If he puts the PC10.img in his tools folder of adb he should be able to flash it in fastboot. The reason it boot loops cuz he doesn't have a system.img or user.img I have done once with my G1 a long time ago
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaldor:
I'm in the same boat as you, looped on the boot screen. I used Visionary r12 to perm-root, and I got this.

A few people have suggested the hex editor, which i'm capable of doing - just thought I had to had ADB access to "push" a file to the phone too? If I don't have to do that, I probably can fix this easily.

All I need to do is edit the PC10IMG.zip to the right value, then put on SD card and fastboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digikid:
Ok, stupid question, but apparently it's overlooked. Before you renamed the zip file, did it have a .zip in the name? if not, then you need to take out the .zip that you put in it. If it did have the .zip in the file name, then I still am looking. >.<

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ ELITE:
for the "PC10IMG" or "update" file?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renn9420:

Just when you renamed it. If you're in windows, go to explorer. Go to tools -->folder options-->view and uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" then click ok. Go to the place you have the update file and see how many .zip extensions are in the name.
