Hi Guys, I was in the middle of upgrading my Streak to Steve's 2.2 and it seems I got a step ahead of myself.

No I have a streak with no data connectivity and I can't flash 1.1.1 without recovery.alt.zip

That said, the moderator of this forum seems to have deleted all sticky threads and thus, I can't find the file anywhere :(

Thanks,

Kris

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3_g00b:
so i recently had issues with the usb port not working at all. i go into exchange it and of course, it looks nice and shiny. i wouldnt have cared much about it being a refurb except for the fact that the touch panel hits the center of the lcd screen making it blot and, light leakage on the bottom U part of the phone AND the worst part....they didnt clean the ear piece....so there was still grime in there....THAT is just unacceptable. i went in and they refused to replace it with another phone. they said all they would do was replace the touch panel. ARE U KIDDING ME?! they had no reaction to the whole "grime in the ear piece" at all....*sigh* before i call and tear them a new one, i'd like to know how people have handled or would handle calling sprint with an issue like this? thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thlinx:
Did they show you the phone, or was it in a box? I would go back to them, and tell them its unacceptable and you would like either a better refurbished phone or a new one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3_g00b:
they just gave me the phone. i got home and was charging it cuz they gave me the same batter so it was dead. after an hour on the charger turned in on and started inspecting it and found all those issues. i called sprint earlier before going to the repair center and she said they had to give me a new phone and that they shouldnt have issued that phone without inspecting it. when i went back to the sprint repair store they told me, THEY, as an independent store, could not give me a new phone. insurance/TEP only allows them to give me refurbished ones. so i guess tomorrow i get to ***** at sprint and demand a new phone. if it comes down to it, i can always just say that i dont want their business anymore. their tone sure does change when that happens. :P
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierceye:
That is Sprint's policy as far as I know. If you are outside of the first 30 days then they can only issue refurbs. Bummer, I know. However, if someone on the phone at Sprint is telling you that you should get a new device as replacement, I would try to have them on the phone when you went into the Sprint store. That way, if the people at the store start to hem and haw you can just put the two ends of the problem together right then and there. I would save any threats for a last ditch effort.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deiisel:
Hey just a quick question...so I used Androot to root my g1 and ive flashed amons recovery. And my question now if I flashed a custom rom would I still be rooted since I used a program to root my phone?

And also would I still have a custom recovery if I flashed a custom rom because when I flash a custom recovery and reboot the phone, I lose my custom recovery and have to flash it again.

Im just scared that when I flash a custom rom and the phone reboots it will erase my custom recovery leaving me stuck or something. Thanks..

Hey all,

I was using a task killer with a desktop shortcut or widget(im not sure but it was a big square icon). When you click the icon it says "Ending all tasks"

I upgraded to 2.2 and lost the apps.

I am an active linux user and am always building my own custom kernels for my machines here but have not even looked at compiling one for my galaxy s since I've only had it for a couple of months (2 weeks being replaced by futuretel).

But I was reading an interesting article today about some patches that have entered the 2.6.37 development stream and provide considerable performance increases and "is designed to automatically create task groups per TTY in an effort to improve the desktop interactivity under system strain." (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2637_video&num=1)

I do understand that this kernel is still under development and that the patch itself has undergone significant changes during testing. Linus seems fairly pleased with its performance and I am going to be testing it on my laptop soon.

My questions to those familiar with the kernels for android are is this patch relevant to the operation of the android phones? and, do you feel that porting this sort of patch would be significantly beneficial to the android platform?

Obviously this patch will flow through naturally when the android system natively uses this kernel version but I was just curious.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
So far that i have read you don't have any use for it on the sgs.

But i haven't read that someone have tried it yet.

Have not tried it.

But you can always make this patch for sgs kernel and try it out.

If you make it then i can help to try it out in my kernel. Just tell me how to patch when you finish...

I can't find this answer. What is wrong with the app? I had the Viewsonic G-Tablet and it handled video streamed from Tversitys non-flash webgui perfectly with it's web player. But on my 2.2 EVO the app seems to fail to associate itself and launching videos that the g-tablet played, on the EVO just starts to download the videos.

How do I get this app to reassert its associations with RTSP and such.

Tired of having to redownload and reinstall all of your apps when you reflash your phone? SaveMyApp can help.

This script will setup your phone so that after your flash to your favorite rom, all* of your apps will be install on the first boot. These apps will show up in the market too!

Also, the script will allow you to backup your /data/data folder to your sdcard and then restore it after your reflash. The /data/data is where Most of your user data is stored. This is not guaranteed to fully restore everything. This also does not backup your Google, Android, or Motorola settings; this is to improve compatibility with roms.

*The /preinstall folder is limited to 120MB, so if you have more then of apps this script will not fully work.

This should work with all phones, however it has only been tested on the Droid 2/X.

If you want to test this script on a different phone, let me know the /preinstall size and if it worked or not.

v0.1.4.2 - 11/17/2010

-Improved backup and restore of data

-Improved script usability

v0.1.4.1 - 11/17/2010

-Improve safety of removing /preinstall/app

v0.1.4 - 11/16/2010

-Added option to clear the /preinstall/app folder

-Added messages to support clear /preinstall/app

v0.1.3 - 11/12/2010

-Added backup of /data/data

-Added messages to support Data Backup

Looks like you can use google voice, gizmo5 and sipdroid to make free landline calls with the gtablet too. I am using CM B2 and was able to set things up using the directions I have used before at h ttp://androidcommunity.com/forums/f4/how-to-free-calls-via-wifi-using-google-voice-and-gizmo5-21836/

Keep in mind this is not perfect and I was only calling some after hours mailboxes since its late here but if you turn it to speaker phone it seems we can use our gtabs as a phone as well.

Edit: When I tried to call someone this morning I could here them pretty good but they said my voice was pretty bad though it may be this crappy hotel wireless doing that.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
not sure how a single post thread made it to front page of the portal, lol.....

especially when the method employed uses gizmo5, to which new user application is (and has been for some time) suspended.

getting sipdroid to work through pbxes is a circus too. if you come up with an easy way to get sipdroid to work, that doesn't require gizmo5 (read: another easy way), i'd love to hear more
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] samyvibrantuser:
+1 i agree.

question comes to my mind how do posts get to the front page.. on what basis or rating?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wlawyer:
Not sure why its on the front page of anything to be honest. The post was mainly for the people that had been using this already as I have for some time. I wasn't aware that they had closed enrollment after gizmo5 was purchased by Google. As I see it with this tablet being finicky about what apps it will run too much info is better than none.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wlawyer:
Someone actually took the time to give my post a bad rating. Couple of minutes on Google and I found this guide to setting up a sip connection without gizmo5. I doubt I attempt it since I have a gizmoaccount but I wanted to give something additional.

Hi guys. I hope you could help me with your wisdom.

Trying to install the new froyo rom on my legend I get a problem like this:

Writing Boot:...

E:Error finishing BOOT:

E:Failure at line 80:

write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img

BOOT:

Installation aborted.

I know that it happends because y have 1 bad block. I cant believe that the boot partition has just the size it needs. Could I be able to install this update in the future with the S-OFF ?? Can I remap the boot partition to another working space ?

Please help!!

i have same problem. there is no chance.
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
As soon as kernel source is released we can work this out by recompiling it, separating some drivers from monolythic core thus making it a little bit smaller.

But as I said already (many times) this is hardware flaw that was there already at the production line of NAND chip so U should claim a new phone.

[Legend Android Development] gyroing:
thx thx. i live in iran it means no claim dear Blay0 so just i trust your great works and all smart developer . the oot.img of froyo is 2.39mb if it reduced to 2.28 me and other guys problem will be solved.
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Someone said that he managed to make an OTA upgrade while he wasn't able to upgrade it with whitetigerdk's ROM.

You could try by flashing just boot.img from OTA:

boot into ClockworkMod recovery

adb push boot.img /

adb shell flash_image boot /boot.img (you can try several times)

...although original boot.img is 2512896 bytes and if you have one bad cell you are 22 kB short.

However (as I said too) there's another way... if we get S-OFF before kernel source, we can make boot partition a little bigger...

[Legend Android Development] warriorofice:
I did this process yesterday, and the OTA works fine.

[Legend Android Development] manudas:
Maybe the hboot updating can move or resize the boot partition to some site with enaught space.

PD: Warrior please, answer mis privados
[Legend Android Development] manudas:
Did you tried goldcard and one-click solutions?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
That's possible. Bootloader also stores partition table which can be changed by vendor (HTC).

@warriorofice: If you have hboot 1.00 reboot your phone and after it comes back to life, adb push busybox to /data/local/rights/, change its permissios issuing "adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/rights/busybox" and then issue "adb shell /data/local/rights/busybox dmesg" and put the output on PasteBin.

Please reboot your phone and just after it shows boot animation issue that last command. If you issue that command later on the kernel log buffer fills up and we miss the beginning...

[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Ahh dammit!!! Why??? You were there once! By downgrading you put on an old hboot with possibly different partition table which doesn't allow you to flash FroYo's boot.img... but you already know that so I don't understand why would you try the same procedure once again??? If it didn't help you once, it won't help you twice nor 50 times!

My goal was to see if partition table in hboot 1.00 is any different than in 0.43! Now we know nothing again!

EDIT: OK, was just talking with ITF... he confirmed the partition table change in hboot 1.00... boot partition is now 3 MB so new boot.img can fit just fine.

i live in asia i don't use vodofone, after unrooting to uk vodofone the upgrade with will be apear or not?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Heh, you mixed it all up ;)

Let me explain again so you could correct that in your HOWTO. HBOOT is just a boot loader (a BIOS if you want) and it also controls how internal storage (NAND flash) is devided among several partitions (6 to be exact). Those partitions star at exact locations and are big exactly the amount it is set in HBOOT. Original partition table was:

misc 640 kB

recovery 4,375 kB

boot 2,5 MB

system 240 MB

cache 40 MB

data 185 MB

...now in the new HBOOT HTC realigned those partitions a little so the boot partition is not 2,5 MB any more but 3 MB. That gives us enough space to put there new bigger boot.img even if we have one or two or even three bad blocks on that portion of NAND flash.
