[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Hi everyone,

My Aria was already rooted when I purchased it, I missed out on the learning curve of rooting, flashing and all the other parts related. But I'm catching up on it little by little here at XDA.

Thanks to everyone here who made it possible.

I'm running Liberated Aria R012 on the Aria now. I lost contact with the seller and I don't know who else to turn to.

Anyways, I'm wondering if I have clockwork installed in my phone. I can't find the application anywhere in my phone, but it does have a folder named 'clockworkmod' in my sdcard with the following files:

clockworkmod > backup > 2010-10-20.09.17.53 > 'boot', 'cache', 'data', 'nandroid', 'recovery' and 'system'.

The reason here is that I am learning to make backups, about recoveries and flashing. I may also flash a FroYo after learning more.

Does all this process require any special software in my computer? I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 by the way. I read in the forums that I need clockwork and unrevoked Reflash.dmg (which is downloading as I'm typing this).

I am not learning to develop anything (not in the foreseeable future), I just want to be able to really own this phone and customize with great ROMs. And to understand what you all are talking about!:D

Thanks for being patient with a noob.
[HTC Aria General] ranger61878:
Clockwork is the recovery, not an app. To see if you have it, hold "home" and "power" at the same time when you turn on your phone. Keep holding for about 10 seconds. You are now in recovery mode. If it says "clockwork" at the top, you agave it.

[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Thanks a lot man! I'll do that when i restart later:)
[HTC Aria General] ranger61878:
No problem. If you have the folder on your SD card, you probably have it, unless it was changed.

Hi Ranger,

I tried doing what you suggested and nothing seem to be happing besides rebooting as usually.

Held both

Power

and

Home

for 10seconds (more for a couple times). Thinking I may have read wrong, I also tried just holding only the

Home

button for longer periods while the phone restarts.

Does this mean I do not have Clockwork? The SD card is inside, with a clockwordmod folder.

What am I doing wrong? Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you.
[HTC Aria General] ranger61878:
Try pressing home and while still holding home, press the power button. Hold both down. Phone should go to the white HTC screen then after maybe 10 seconds it should be a black screen with green words (you can now atop pressing the buttons). That is the clockwork recovery screen. If you don't get that screen, clockwork isn't on there, and you need to reroot.

[HTC Aria General] ocswing:
Heh, think people aren't catching that they're saying the wrong name of the button.

Turn your phone off. Hold the "Volume Down" button, then hit "Power" at the same time. Everything else said was accurate.
[HTC Aria General] ranger61878:
Different phone :) To get to recovery on an HTC Hero it is "home" and power.

My bad. Yeah, volume down and power will do it. My apologies to the OP.

[HTC Aria General] leonle:
lol, you guys showed him the wrong way. ok, you hold the "volume down" for 2 seconds then press "power" on. you will see a white screen with 4 options, 1 of them is "recovery", you select this option by pressing volume down to it and press power to select, if you see a big triangle with a "exclaimation mark" in it then your phone is not rooted, if you see white "clockworkmode..." on top then it's rooted, it's that simple...:)
[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Ocswing, you saved me!

Thanks a lot buddy:p I guess it's cos ranger is running on the Hero instead of the Aria (looking at the sig) —*thus the different combinations.

Anyway I was taken to a white screen with several options:

reboot, recovery, etc.

So I do have clockwork, thanks again guys!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HannoSLM:
Hello,

I was having huge battery problems with all kernels and all builds untill ..... i discovered that in Android it takes really long time to cache the pictures in the gallery. I noticed that it always reads every picture file (icons, ebooks cover etc) and i basically removed the icons (i had dinik icon pack) after this, without restart battery got down from around 150-300 mA to 10-11 mA in stand by mode, which is the normal reported from many ppl.

Hope it helps and eliminates one more reason.

After couple days of testing .. it is confirmed. It may not be the main reason, but in my case it was.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Fa1n7:
I think it might be the reason, but most of the time I get around 30mA so I don't have the problem. But if it is helpful, I'm glad that a Bulgarian found the solution!

Браво, само това мога да кажа!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Digital Outcast:
Can you say how you did this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HannoSLM:
Да видим сега дали наистина е от това :)

I did not want to delete them, so i zipped them with ES explorer .... had a bit more than 3000 files.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elitishtc:
???

can you explain how?!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kokoboko73:
Where is the location of the icons, by the way.

I am glad a Bulgarian is posting possible solution.

POZDRAVI
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bill R:
I'm not sure I understand how zipping up icons would save battery life. Except maybe you zipped up the programs themselves? If you did that, then how do you look at your pictures?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stom:
Sounds like the gallery was constantly indexing pictures he didn't need indexed. So he put those pictures in a zip, which obviously wouldn't get indexed. Simples. Unless I misunderstood your misunderstanding?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pixine786:
WoW i love the last line ...

"Unless I misunderstood your misunderstanding"
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HannoSLM:
This is the idea .... it is obviuos that if you delete or zip the files, you cannot view them anymore ..... but how often you are looking at icons in the gallery? :)

these are not default icons/pics .... the location is the place where you have put them yourself :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] _X_:
So, the conclusion is:

More pictures you take, Android is getting slower and slower? :eek:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HannoSLM:
Not slower .... drains the battery more. I have now about 200 pictures shot with the camera and it is ok without the icons (a bit more than 3000 files).

last couple of hours, everytime i wake up the phone, got 9-11 mA, before cleaning the icons i never got below 70-80 mA.

I kindly ask someone else to try it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rohitpenace:
typo lolololol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dubie76:
If your asking others to test and verify your theory why is the thread labeled SOLVED?

There are so many reasons for battery drain. One minute you can have a high battery drain and the next a low one. Just like everyone that runs these speed tests. They are so inaccurate its not even funny. There are way too many factors that affect both issues that I do not ever think they will be solved. There are steps you can take to make them better but never solve them.

i last 2 days on my build (v1.5) with normal use....

for the upcoming 1.6 i have o check the drain still but it lasts me a full day with juice to spare.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] steve austin:
man I came running to this thread thinking this was a genuine fix. no worries. I am at a consistent 50-60 mA at rest. The only time it goes down to below 5 is when it is charging. I have used hastrain 7.7 and now 8.1. Nothing is getting me down to below 10 yet with this build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zkid2010:
No, do worry. 50-60mA in standby is NOT good.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rugo80:
Yo, too many reasons for battery drain... kernel, build, application run in background, display, and more and more.. For me, when a build drain my battery too fast, i try to canging kernel, for example, with mdeejay froyo rev in stand by with mdeejay kernel i got 60-100mha...with hastarin 7.8, 4-8 mha.

Byez.

"DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD..

According to the Internet's most respected, most used Linux, BSD authoritative news source,

"Android, OS X, Maemo are NOT LINUX, BSD, " do not exist. They know that Meego exists.

They are supposed to allow notification of new distributions, but that part of their site is not working at this moment.

They give a crazy email address to contact them, but I cannot make sense of it. I'm an Android end-user, not a code hacker.

Could someone tell them that ANDROID EXISTS, PLEASE?

i think i finally figured out how to make htc sync connect without struggle

just keep usb debugging mode disabled in the settings menu

i know HTC asks you to keep it checked but this is the cause of problems whenever you switch from charge only to htc sync or from usb to htc sync

if you keep the usb debugging mode unselected in the settings menu, whenever you run HTC sync it will still enable the debugging mode temporarily and so adb will always refresh

its been working for me since

Same here. It only happens to me in the IE browser. Hope there will be a software fix for it soon as it's quite annoying.

Hey all,

I searched for this a while but I couldn't find anything. What I want is that users can make a directory on their Storage Card, lets say "AutoInstall". Then, when they flash my ROM, all the CAB and TSK files are automatically installed during first boot. I don't know how to do this... Can someone tell me (very detailed?) how?

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
You can do that (and more) with Sashimi and probably xda-uc (user customization). You can search here and google to find out how to use them. I use Sashimi myself.
[Windows Mobile] brainmaster:
You can also use the UC_NET which has more user-friendly interface. You can install automatically or let the user interact.

I want to cook my own ROM, using osKitchen, but can only seem to download the latest official HTC ROM, based on V 3.14. It uses the 21916 Build, which has the Windows button, etc, at the top.

I would like to get hold of a 21684 Build, which has the nice buttons on the bar at the bottom of the screen and a very useful Action Button. One of NRGZ28's Energy ROMs uses it.

Problem is, I can't seem to find a 21684-based official ROM to download. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
I ****ed up today!!! Forgot to empty my pockets and now my wildfire is in the washinmachine! Couldnt stop the f-ckin machine and watched my clothes in a 60min-programe. When finally the program was finished, the stupid lid could not open. And I were in a hurry to get to my workingplace. Now the wildfire is in the washingmachine until I come home.

Probably the phone is as dead as Michael Jacksson!

Is there any way maybe to rescue my phone after this treatment? Hairfan? Oven? Element for drying?...something?

I really like this wildfireforum and you guys writing here, so want my phone back! :(
[Wildfire General] Deep-Knight:
Put of Battery and place it at a heating. put between them a paper cloth!

Wait a few days and pray
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
should I only put the battery on the heatingelement? or the whole phone?

Should I maybe wash it in water first to get rid of eventually rests from the machine? (sorry for my swedish-english writing here;p)
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
Ouch, nasty. After a full cycle in the washer I wouldn't hold much hope but it is worth trying the old rice trick.

Take the battery out of the phone and put the phone in to a bowl (or bag) of UNCOOKED rice (it doesnt really work if the rice is cooked lol) and leave it overnight. The dry rice soaks all moisture out of the phone making sure it is completely dry without heating it up (and possibly damaging it more).

[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
This is what happened to my sony phone lol, except I left it overnight in the wash.
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
I had a SE W995 before and took a shower with that one, therefore I bought this one...I really think I should awoid water for the rest of my life!!

Will try the radiator l8er!!
[Wildfire General] Deep-Knight:
the whole phone without battery. rice idea sound also good. but wait a few days ,not only a few hours.
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
I will wait until monday, hoping for the survival of my dear wildfire!
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
I wouldn't use a radiator! Just the heat alone could kill your phone.
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
Okay, should I just let it be in roomtemperature then?
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
Just put the phone in a bowl of dry rice at room temperature and leave it overnight, or maybe even a day or so. The rice will pull the water out of the phone without any need for heat.
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
should I just put the phone on the rice or put the rise under and over the phone? So that the phone is covered on all sides, lying in the middle of the bowl?
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
Put it in the rice, so it is completely covered.
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
sweet, will try that when I come home then =)
[Wildfire General] ebioman:
Or you take pure alcohol and soak it

(few hours, but very IMPORTANT >99% purity !)

Afterwards dry it for several days <-- do not heat it, just dry it

Disclaimer: Works since it is pure simple chemistry, but I never dared to do it so far :D
[Wildfire General] Intel520:
If the rice method doesn't work, and if you got some experience in electronics, try opening your phone up and look if any vital components are harmed...
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
Will try the rice first, sounds less risky :p
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
The only problem with soaking in alcohol is that it can dissolve any glues used within the phone itself. But if nothing else works it might be worth trying as a very last resort.
[Wildfire General] ebioman:
Seriously it will not do any harm as long as you really use 99% + purity.

The problem is remaining humidity leading to oxidation (corrision) of your contacts. Alcohol is a solvent and therefore water free. It will "take up" the humidity and afterwards evaporate.

I guess the major problem is that exept for me not a lot of people here work in a laboratory and have easy acess to a liter of 99,99% pure alcohol.....
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
isnt there anything called batterywater? Maybe that workes? Think I can buy that on statoil and similar places?
[Wildfire General] ebioman:
@Hpez: You are absolutely right about that.

I would use it, if nothing else works anymore. But I guess that nevertheless the major mistake normally will be, that people are not calm enough and shut it on to early just destroying everything...
[Wildfire General] Cyda:
Battery water is normally just deionised water. I don't think that will help at all.

Try the rice method and if that doesn't work, look at maybe trying the alcohol method.
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
Will do that! Then the next step is to find 99% alcohol! What a party that would be btw... =)
[Wildfire General] geordie 34:
Another solution that is seen on the gadget show is to use your Hoover hose to suck some of the water out take out the battery and do the insides
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
Have called "apoteket" here in sweden (our pharmacy)...they have isopropanol wich is 99% alcohol. I am thinking on if I should buy this on my way home and put the phone in the alcohol first for an hour or so, then put the phone on the rice for a couple of days, what do you think of that solution?

Because if I have it on the rice only, maybe it will short-circuit and wont work, so maybe its best to do this first?
[Wildfire General] 71baker:
A friend of mine dropped his SE k750i screen first in a mug of coffee. His expression was priceless. However he quickly removed the battery and put on the radiator (protected by a couple of folded socks so it wouldnt get too hot.

And it worked again when he tried it like 3 days after.

Mind you , the phone soaked like 3 seconds and battery was out in like 10 seconds after that. I wouldn't really expect it to work again after a ride in the washer but i would definitely first try the rice alone. Put the bowl on a windowsill (fönsterkarm) so the heat from a radiator keeps the bowl at a nice temp. I don't think putting it on the radiator with some protection is gonna harm it though. You can always turn the radiator down too. (unless it's an electric radiator, don't put the phone on it if it is electric.)

Oh and let it dry for atleast a couple of days.
[Wildfire General] Akerhage:
yeah, I have the risebowl under the radiator now! Will try that for a couple of days! If that doesnt work, I try the oven a bit, then the flamethrower =)
[Wildfire General] GigiAUT:
I dropped a SE W610i in the drain at the kitchen I used to work in. I caught it before it went too deep, pulled out the battery and let it dry out for a couple of hours. Honestly, I think I was using the phone at least 3 hours later (I know this because I needed it to call some friends I was going to meet up with).

If the phone does work again, just be cautious. There are all sorts of minerals in the water and even if you do manage to dry it out completely, they'll leave deposits behind which can eat away at parts inside. That w610? Started with camera issues, then a thin black line on the display, no half the screen doesn't work after a year. Same with my T68i, spilled tea on it. Dried out, worked. A year or so later, the buttons stopped working and it refused to turn on.
