Can any one tell how to suggest how to change the default video recording format(3gp) in desire hd
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] DarthGRE:
It's really easy:Just press 'Menu" when you have your camcorder app running,and there you'll see "Video quality".
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dirtschmooz:
That's just for quality, not format as op is asking
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] neigo:
i think you can't ^^
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
hey guys,

how would i go about removing apps from an installed custom rom?

ive tried titanium back... doesnt work, tried pulling the apps from the pack nothing,

ive tried root exploits and it just sends your phone into an almost

"paperweight"

like state,

any further moves i can do to remove various bits ? there as some things i just genuinely dont want.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Telling which rom and which apps might help :)
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
[ROM] Pays-ROM HD SPARTA v1.0 [ULTRA LIGHT] [19/NOV/10]

[ROM] Pays-ROM HD SPARTA v1.0 [ULTRA LIGHT]

i cant list the apps i want to remove as im off to work, but can you do some background work into it for me??
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Have you tried doing it from terminal?

adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
ls *
rm INSERTANNOYINGAPPNAMEHERE
reboot

adb pull is not for deleting apps. It is for copying the app to your computer.
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
when i say pull... lol. i mean removing them from the system completely :)
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
I've just discovered there are issues where /system isn't getting wiped correctly prior to a new rom being flashed. Keep getting apps from other roms and such sitting in my /system folder even after a wipe and flash - at this stage I assume CWM is bugged? Could be your issue is related.
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
nope the ADB coding doesnt work as its almost like there is a PERMANENT R/w lock on the section i need to remove apps from :(
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
unfortunately the issues AERNT related, as ive wiped everything before, these apps are pre installed on the ROM. What does me with this is that the root exploit to remove these apps as in Titanium backup ... just turns the phone into a very expensive paperweight till the battery is remove

weather apps (widgets etc,)

Twitter apps , teet and various other bits i want to remove
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Get a new rom :p ???
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
hmm flash a new rom??this is the most refined rom i can find for DHD.

for that reason its more of a hassle to flash new roms :(

I would rather crack it, mind you i might be really thick asking this. that code you gave me have i got to get the adb.exe from android SDK and do this via a cmd.exe window on my pc or have i got to do it on my phone via termnial emulator.
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
how weird!!!... i used to terminal emulator to allow su :) (I.E to give system SU Permissions and now i can remove the apps :)) haha

Shocked!!

Admin Please close & Deleted Thread.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Yes from the android sdk. It *should* work from a terminal emulator as well if you run these commands first to mount the /system/app directory as read/write:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 777 /system/app

Other option would be to use the root explorer app, it is a paid app though well worth it.
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
Weird thing is i tried root explorer :), and it still wouldnt R/W the app folder... but as i said now solved... slightly weird though that i completely missed that lil bit on the su permissions for the system directly. :)
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Yeah you ninja'd my last post :)

Glad to hear you're gtg now.
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
but mind you the mount script i ran and it didnt work lol.... maybe i did them the wrong way round, (Raise SU first then do mount cmd??)
[Desire HD General] hav0c:
Works. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markisgood2:
Hello. I have a rooted Droid Incredible(no custom ROMs), and after the Verizon software update a few days ago, the Droid Incredible couldn't start up. It went directly to the bootloader when I tried to start it up. (It also lets me go to recovery).

I have tried pulling the battery with no success. I also didn't do a Nandroid before the update. If I give it to Verizon and ask for a replacement device, will they fine me or make me pay for a new one or give me one for free?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lafester:
they should fine you but they probably won't.

there is nothing wrong with your phone.

go check out the incredible forum and if you can't find what you need post your question there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lukehluke:
Thats a good save.

I would hate to brick my phone :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] authmn:
Who thinks they have gotten the battery life sickness?

I think i am. Keep trying to get 3 days of battery life out of my Galaxy S...

Tried Superpower/APN Droid/ other apps. but still its hard.

I guess the only way is not to use it?

Should i just ignore the battery life?

My wife will just charge her phone every night, no matter its left with 20% or even 80%.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
Charge every night. Ever since I started using smart phones, I have given up on battery life. 3 days battery life is a myth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
I can get two days tops with very little use, and that includes using juice defender turning on data/wifi every 15 minutes for only 1 minute to sync.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] authmn:
Yah i should do that. haha. Just charge the phone b4 i sleep
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3a:
the best and most efficent method is to put it in airplane mode anytime you arent really using the phone and not expecting calls or messages... The phones says the display eats up the battery but, really its the radio that gobbles up battery life
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] authmn:
Hmm sounds like getting a mp3 player or Ipod touch will be sufficient? haha
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsinc:
I don't get it. There are days that my battery gives more than 60 hours, and days that it dies in 20 hours without changing apps, brightness or anything, just a few more calls. I really don't get it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] authmn:
Oh... u shld give advice how u manage 60 hours..

the only time i can manage that is when i am overseas. I switch to 2g permanently and without any data.

Rarely called. received less than 10 sms
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blubxd:
No it's not, just stop using the phone :P

And don't use magical battery apps - they're apps, they need power to run... if you constantly have it "adjust" something, well, it'll consume as much power killing your other apps (which aren't even scheduled to run anyway), or doing other cheap tricks, that they make it worse than before...

I can tell you that my brother's phone lasts a week...

It's on all the time, but he just doesn't use it... (that means: no apps, no internet, ...)

The point is, you have a certain amount of power available, and whatever you do on the phone consumes a part of it. The more you fiddle and toy around with it, the shorter lasts your battery. An inactive app is fine - may take up RAM, but it's at least not actually running. Killing it, on the other hand, is an action - a task that is being executed, thus consumes power.

The worst thing I've seen are "app killers" which run in the background...

That is simple not a solution.

A solution is: getting those apps to not start.

However, you might notice that you see most of your apps in task manager - even if you don't use them. And in fact, they often aren't doing anything. Of course this does not apply to apps like skype, trillian, fring etc. since they, even when not in the foreground, DO stuff, like checking your contacts' online status, keeping the connection alive, checking for email if you have that configured...

If you phone does nothing - no email, no internet, no IMs, no text messages, no calling people all the time...

then your phone lasts days, up to a week...
[General Topics] markogin:
I don't have the plug in for linking FB for example to contacts. I used to have it on 1.6 and now I have some contacts that are linked to FB but I cannot modify anymore and I cannot add new links to contacts.

When I click edit in the contact information there is a triangle with an exclamation mark and next it's written "Timescape plug in manager contact information is not editable on this device"

Anybody can help fixing this?

Thanks
[General Topics] markogin:
I did a restone but no luck. It is possibly a bug. As anybody noticed that? You will only see it if you have FB account activated on Mediascape
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
The world has become smaller, company's greedier and the choice to buy the product you want controlled buy a few greedy tel-cos.

Forgive my rant, But I find it unacceptable that a tel-co company in Germany has sole rights to sell the 16 GB Omnia 7.

Then you have the focus that is only available in the USA.[ I would grab one now if only it was available outside the USA]

What does a person need to do to get his hands on a WP7 he likes.:(

I am assuming Samsung is to blame for this as they are the company that has stitched up the deals with the tel-cos. [At what cost Samsung I am not the only one looking for a 16 GB Omnia 7.:confused:]

Looks like it,s back to waiting for me. no smartphone till next year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] darkmurder:
Buy the Focus unlocked then?
[Windows Phone 7 General] cloudpost:
yeah it was Samsung's choice to make the phone available to whoever they want.

if you want to get a phone you like switch carriers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Daemon_px:
Just give it time and surely all models will become available in stores, with no carrier lock.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
either that as the manufacters see them as profitable they'll release more and more different ones. it will be like what happened with the galaxy S, just a few variations and a release on a different carrier.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
Easy for those that are in USA but what about the rest of the world?

I am living in Thailand at the moment and feel the manufactures have missed the huge phone market here with no mention of WP7 at all. The average Thai will purchase a new phone every 4 months from what I have seen.

Out of the 40+ in the office I am the only one with a phone older then 8 months.:eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
I am sorry but how is that even possible when one is in Germany the Other in the USA and I live in Asia.

I can understand the carries having it tied up in there respective countries but to not have these phones available in other continents is plain stupid.
[Windows Phone 7 General] albinojoe:
Cant you buy an unlocked one online and use it on your carrier then? Or can you not do that in thailand for some reason?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Picoyo:
I purchased a T-Mobile G2 on ebay and had it shipped to Panama. The phone works on edge, and in one point in particular I get a G on the screen, but no 3G. I'm guessing this has to do with the data band. Is it possible to crack the phone to force it to recognize other data frequencies?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
Only if you crack open the case and change the phsyical antenna. Else your stuck on edge.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
I think it's a little more than the antenna that would need to be replaced, but yes, you can't change the 3g bands.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pravk:
I have flashed all sorts of 2.2 ROMS on my GT-I9000 ranging from stock JPC to Doc JPO and latest CyanogenMod beta.

Now I wanted to return to DDJG4, the official eclair firmware for out region. I flash it via odin with repartition enabled(512 pit). Everything goes fine, the phone boots up. One minute after boot up it shuts down again.

Any idea whats going on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zroice:
did u factory reset also?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pravk:
yes i did.
[HD2 General] fancysmiley:
This my first time flashing my phone and I am not too impressed with the custom ROM. Is it possible for me to go from one custom ROM to another without reverting to the stock ROM in between changes?
[HD2 General] SpiderVenom:
Simple answer is no, you don't have to revert to a stock rom. However you should task 29 every time you flash a rom it helps keep the new rom as bug free as possible
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You don't have to go back to stock ever. Search for Task29. Download it to your PC just like you would a ROM. You can flash it via USB, just like any other rom. It's just a lot faster and basically erases your phones memory. It doesn't effect your microSD card at all, so no worries there. After you flash task29 you reboot back into the tri colored boot loader screen. From there you just flash another custom ROM.

Or if you like stock ROM's, you can flash one of those via USB and it won't overwrite your hardSPL. Flash as much as you want, but always flash task29 in between ROMs to make sure you have a clean starting point.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Hey everyone,

**Update** for JK6 flash the clockwork at the bottom then you can use any of the metamorphs in the second section.

I put together a white battery mod for my phone and thought I would share. I've only tested this on Onyx 4.2 but I don't see why it would'nt work on Obsidian also.

I've now added meta morphs. Axura and black froyo use a slightly different framework from onyx, i've redone them that should work on those rom\mod and they are below the ones for Onyx/Obsidian.

Now that i have a battery and a vibrate icon that i like... time to mess with signal icons.

Edit: Added gray theme.

Edit 2: Added MetaMorphs, and Blue Theme.

Edit 3: Added White stock and Blue2.

Edit 4: Added creator2456's white segmented, and a black froyo\axura mm, added user feedback, and more black froyo\axura mm's.

Edit 5: Vibrant Vibrate Morphs.... Maybe i should just create another thread...

Edit 6: Added Red Circle Battery.

11/23/10: Added signals, Cleaned up post.

11/28/2010: Add more vibrate icons, 3G icon, more cleanup.

12/5/10: JK6 added

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demize!:
Looks very nice! Just out of curiosity, what is that big G icon in your noti. Is that a Google service. Shinier weather theme is nice LOL, I'm using sticker right now.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] disturkis4u:
Nice work. Thanks for the contribution.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Thanks, the G is groupon. It sends coupons every once in a while, somewhat usefull...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] reekxda:
Can this be flashed over the black froyo mod for obsidian 4.2?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boystuff:
love it how hard would it be to make it blue by chance?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
reekxda, I honestly don't know if it will work with the Black Froyo mod..... I am looking at converting this into a meta-morph though. That should work.

boystuff, As for blue, it's fairly easy. What kinda of blue do you want. A blue circle all the way? or Blue-->Green-->Yellow-->Orange-->Red?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] christpuncher:
Looks awesome. Thanks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] itsjusttim:
Yes, this would be great! One without the segments and that would work on obsidian 4.2.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
I would love to see the regular sideways battery in white! That would be dirrrrrty. :)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] corps20k:
i had the black froyo mod installed. i know you said you didnt know if it would work so i decided to test it because i wanted the combo. it didnt work. it would boot and then reboot by itself. i recovered into a rom that didnt have black froyo then flashed your mod again, works perfectly with obsidian v3. it looks good and im looking forward to the metamorph to see if that will work with black froyo mod. thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creator2456:
Definitely get this into a metamorph so people don't lose other framework mods and so it can be used with other ROMs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xaymaca:
i'm loving this, works great on Axura 2.0.4
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jacosta:
Please make a metamorph for this. Flashing zip wouldn't work with the black froyo theme from Samcrow. Any ways looks awesome, Thank You!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Sir Incognito:
Looks nice man, I really like the multi color blue one, but this is a awesome mod man, good work!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Updated OP with new mods.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] itsjusttim:
Thanks for the colored non-segment.

Works great btw
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gbakabg:
Same thing with me too...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boystuff:
oops sorry for the slow post response, thank you for the blue one works great!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jacosta:
I tried to apply this morph and once I applied it with metamorph it simply rebooted after install. After loading up i noticed my wallpaper changed to some cool black and white android background, But no battery lol btw i tried the all white circular battery. I doubt I've done something wrong, I think....lol Any help?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cogsci:
Works great on Onyx 4.2 ULF! Thank you!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creator2456:
Great work in getting the MMs built!

Was using the White Stock all day but I've always liked the segmented meter. Decided to take the time to make a White Segmented MM.

Feel free to link in OP if credit is given. :cool:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kxlling:
Looks really good on onyx, works on rc3.1 too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
The white stock look (sideways) is AWESOME! Thanks again OP.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
Could someone tell me the weather / clock skin in the OP?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
I tried the morph on the same rom, nothing. Did you use clockwork?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xaymaca:
yeah, Clockwork did the trick for me
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
Lol thanks I missed the axura mention in the OP. Works great. Didn't realize it morphed the whole bar, love it much more than stock axura status bar. Now if only I could get the pulldown toggle icons from 2.0.3...

EDIT: Just realized it got rid of themed aosp lockscreen and animations :( can I extract from axura and apply those back keeping this mod? If so what files & how?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xaymaca:
lol yeah i see we're on the same page
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
:) you didn't miss it, i just changed it for clarity.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
I'll make a revert to stock for axura, use that then the meta morph. The CW ones were made for Onyx, so it changes all the frameworks to onyx type.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
ohhh, well it had said axura? also man, the power down screen is screwed up now too, if i hold my power button my phone vibrates, and if i touch the screen or anything after the screen goes black and all I can do is reboot by holding the power button, is that metamorph to stock in the op?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
2 Min... Here you go : Axura Stock

Flash that then you can use the meta-morphs. Sorry it messed up on you.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Also, The clock skin is Obsidian, and the weather is Dharma.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
Thanks very much man, glad we fixed this before other people ran into problems, after I switched to a different lockscreen my phone locked up on me and had to do a restore, it's all good though, i'll try this stock/metamorph fix and let you know how it went.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
And are both in the market?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Beautifull widgets, they are skins you can download in the app.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
ah, gotcha. Damn, I have weather toggle widget. So I applied the new Axura MM and it applied the battery great, if you ever feel like adding the black bar/3g/signal icons like the original CWM had i'd love that. No one has really made a blackbar mod for Axura, the only one I came across only morphed the bar and the icons were black on black. Not sure how many problems it might give you, it seems like the lockscreen mod really limits how morphs in the framework will work. Love this battery mod tho, looks real nice.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
I may give it a try, i'm really intrested in learning about the android system, and theme mods seem fairly straightforward.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
Flashed the grey circle mod on top of Eugene's Macnut R11, works great, looks beautiful. Thank you.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Thanks, The Meta-morph one for Onyx/Obsidian right? I'd like to update OP saying it works on those.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
No not the metamorph, the cw version for onyx/obsidian/axura, first one listed in the post. If I flash back to the current R12 and test it ill let you know how it works.

Sent from my Vibrant running Macnut R11
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Cool, thanks.

Love it. Using the blue circular with mental's data/ signal,mod. Looks great!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Joshochoa187:
Im also running axura i flashed the white battry and got boot loops: ( what is that file that was posted earlier?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Flash this then use the Meta Morphs, you should be good after that.

Also..... OP Updates.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Joshochoa187:
So in order to get this to work on axura i have to use metamorph :( i guess i have wait till i can fugure out how to use it.

EDIT: nevermind i get now sry
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
There I was typing a how-to... :p hope you like them.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Joshochoa187:
Lol sry. Yeah its awesome thanx alot.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xaymaca:
got the segmented battery and the green vibrate icon

i'm loving these mods, keep em coming :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] j0hnZ:
For reference, I tried putting this on Obsidian v5 with Black Froyo using the MM and it didn't work.

Would love to use it though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTO777:
Which morph did you use? The one for black froyo should work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Joshochoa187:
Hey GTO how about a red circle indicator?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shaul305:
I'm gonna give it a try via Metamorph. I had the Black Froyo theme with Onyx 4.2 from Team Whiskey, and when i tried to flash it through CWM it kept going to my homescreen then rebooting, did this like 3-4 times til i just reflashed Onyx 4.2 and am gonna start all over now. just a warning to anyone out there in the same setup scheme.
