[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTeddyChills:
Hello to all.

I have had my G2 for a month now.

This is my first android.

I was wondering if maybe someone could please clarify some questions I have about Rooting?

I apologize in advance for any questions I may ask that makes you say"Are you effing kidding me?!?!"

1. Is rooting pretty much clearing off your phone and installing a whole new software??

2. If i ever want to come back to stock tmobile...am I able to? (will I even want to??) lol

3. I know gingerbread is coming...how do those updates work on a rooted phone?

4. What precautions should I take when rooting my g2?

5. What is cyanogenmod?...

Sorry for asking these "obvious" questions, but I am trying to understand everything before I try to root my device.

Thank you to all!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadyx513:
1. rooting makes it possible to flash new roms (which do require you to wipe your system, but once rooted use titanium backup, free app, to back up ur apps on the sdcard)

2. yes there are a few threads on here that walk you through on how to turn security on and install a stock rom

3.as far as i can tell you still get the t-mobile updates sent, and developers here take the new software and make it available to run on our devices.

4. Make sure your device is charged and follow EACH STEP in ORDER and copy the commands CORRECTLY.

5. "CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.2 (Froyo) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone." so in short they develop software.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
I'd like to add that you will get updates a LOT faster with a rooted phone vs stock OTAs
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Sorry, that's not right. To the OP - Rooting gives you access to the "root" user on the phone, which allows more powerful customisations and allows certain apps to run (those which require root).

S-OFF (security off) is the thing that allows you to flash custom ROMs. You could root and not touch S-OFF, or you could both root and S-OFF.

Neither of these require you to wipe the phone. But you need to be very careful in understanding what you're doing when you do either of these steps.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I just bought my MT4G and have had it up and running for 9 hours now. It says I'm running Android 2.2, so I assume that means I have not received the OTA update yet. That wouldn't concern me, except my friend who got the phone the exact same time as me as already received the OTA notification. The only difference between the two phones is my friend's has been on Wi-Fi the whole time. Should that help, or is there something else I can do to request the update?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
theres a thread on this, but U can't really do anything but wait. theres no rhyme or reason to when. Took my 3 days. doing *#*#checkin#*#* suppose to check for it, but didnt help me
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
After 48 hours you can call tech support and try to get on the batch push list. That will take up to 7 days, possibly. I just hit my 7 day period late last night -- still no update. Taking my phone in to swap it today since that was the next resolution the last call to tech support gave me.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Hmm that's discouraging. I'd really like to not have to bring my phone back in. Hopefully it shows up soon. If it hasn't within 48 hours, I'll call tech support. Thanks for the info.

It's surprising that my buddy got his update within a few hours and while connected to Wi-Fi. Cellular data wasn't working yet because his account hadn't been provisioned correctly, yet he still got the update before me!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
You can force the update yourself now so it doesnt really matter either way... if you just want the update and not root just do the first half and stop when it gets into the rooting part... but the only reason i can think of for you wanting the update badly is so you can root it :/ but maybe not... anyway heres the instructions:

[GUIDE] Forcing update 2.2.1

hope that helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
Was hoping to copy all my itunes drm free AAC music to my sdcard, but I find that AAC won't play in the stock player. I don't want to convert everything to mp3 so what's the solution? Searching in Market didn't turn up anything likely.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itarix:
Android does not support the AAC container format. You can play them if you make them into m4a files which is essentially AAC.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] paranone:
Hi,

It might look like a stupid question but one of my users can't get past this problem so I would like to see if there's a solution.

So we only recently gave some users HTC Snaps to see how it adjusts to their needs, we have a hosted Exchange server (also has been only a few months) so we set-up ActiveSync on the Snaps to synchronize directly with the server.

It seems to work perfectly, it synchronizes following schedule (every 30min from 7AM till 6PM) on weekdays and doesn't on the weekend, but then on monday morning, it doesn't start the automatic syncing again as it should.

Almost every monday morning, the user comes to me at 8.30-9.00 to tell me he doesn't receive his mails. A simple Send/Receive in the mailbox or go to ActiveSync and press Sync starts the syncing again and everything seems to work fine during the rest of the week but still the user is annoyed that it won't sync as scheduled.

I can attest that it works perfectly on my own Windows Mobile 6.5 device (SE Xperia X1) although I do sometimes lose my synchronization schedule (but that could be related to some app I have or to the tinkering I do with it - if anyone has an idea though - the user doesn't do anything else on the Snap than make phone calls and check his mails and occasionally write one).

The Snap has the latest official updated ROM from HTC.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Jon
[Dash 3G, Snap General] DrEAdler:
IP chabges

I have a similar problem. Your provider obviously changes your IP.

Go to Commmanager/Connections, disable Direct Push and enable it right away again. Sync will work afterwards until the next new ip.....
[Dash 3G, Snap General] paranone:
We don't use Push as it seems to work worse than with a fixed schedule.

I will check for the IP if I have the opportunity but I don't understand why that should be a problem (you do mean the device IP, right ? Our server IP doesn't change).

And the problem doesn't appear every single week ... So I think I'll just go with "That's the way it is" ...

Thank you for your help.
[Desire General] p3eps:
A couple of weeks ago when the Desire Z came out I had one delivered. I used it for less than 2 days before deciding the slide out keyboard was pointless and just added weight / size!

I bought a Desire instead.

Anyway... I noticed one good feature on the Desire Z was that they had Google Maps that I could download to my SD card. It asked which region I wanted, and downloaded all the maps so I didn't need the internet to view them.

Is this available for the Desire? I've had a look on various sites and can't see anything - but maybe I've got the name wrong?! I'm sure it was Google Maps though?
[Desire General] adjei7:
Was probably locations, not google maps. Locations is a HTC sense app which is not on the desire.
[Desire General] lifeisfun:
HTC Location is using TomTom maps

Hi all,

I haven't manage to send any files to my device from my PC. In fact even I've found problems pairing... (depends on which ROM..).

I have tried on CM-6.1-RC1 and Cronosdroid 1.5.1... bluetooth doesn't seem to wprk fine on both. Have you ever seen these problems on Froyo devel roms?¿?¿

Many Thanks,

Although this alternative probably does work and the OP may appreciate it, I think it would be better to resolve issues with what should be a native and working function already, rather than find workarounds. :)

Great Work!

hi

your color pack v4 with the animated icons are brilliant!!!!

i just installed them and they are working perfectly!!! :D

but for some reason im not getting the wifi in range notification so i hvnt seen tht animated icon yet...

otherwise all the others are working perfectly!!

Thanks a lot!! :D :D

EDIT: Not working so well now... :(

all the icons are working but

holding the home button makes it hot reboot

the font on the setcpu is white on a white background, so i cant read it...

ive uploaded my framework-res.apk

can u check it please (just incase i made some mistake)?

also if its possible and not too much work could u make a flashable zip out of it too?

(i did make one and flashed it but im getting these problems :( )
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brolee93:
i have this bug my icon didn't work for V4 do you make us you V4 in zip file or framework.apk ?

thanks for your work you roxx thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
wat i did was copied the framework-res.apk from my dhd, decompiled it, then copied all the files from v4 to their respective places in the decompiled apk, deleted the files tht fightspit mentioned in his post, then compiled it and flashed it...

but im getting a weird error :confused:

tht on holding the home button i hve a hot reboot...

otherwise the icons are working...
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
ok after abt 3 attempts ive made it work :)

the home button error isnt there anymore...

anyways thanks a lot for these icons!! they are great!!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brolee93:
Do you up your framework please please please i will test v4 but my framework didn't work
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Fightspit:
Sorry, to not reply earlier but it is so nice you finally make it working :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brolee93:
when you finish v4 without bug ?

quadn finiras tu la V4 sans bug ? pourrai tu me uploader une version rc ou pas car je suis friand de nouveautés et surtout de la V4
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Fightspit:
I have just checked the "wifi in range" xml file and there is no error on files names. Do you forget to delete the stat_notify_wifi_in_range.png in your framework ?

In that case, you couldn't see the animation because for the same file name the .png file has the priority over the .xml file.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
sure

ive uploaded mine

but i cant guarantee if it will work on urs or not cos u might be using a different theme or sumthing

backup ur framework-res.apk or do a nandroid backup b4 applying my framework..

oh ya and use the use the flashable zip only option from http://circle.glx.nl/ to make the zip file to flash...

if u try adb pushing it, it might not work, it didnt work fr me atleast

oh ya

just saw tht

i frgt to delete tht png :P

anyways im gonna make another one soon

now the only problem im facing is tht white font in setcpu which i mentioned b4 and now the weird rotating in the manage applications.

ill upload a video soon (i dont hve any camera on me atm) and show u the problem im facing..

btw is there a chance to put ur icons v4 on http://circle.glx.nl/ ??
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Fightspit:
Well, I already told Mendozina (who manage the kitchen) to include the pack v4 in the kitchen but it is not simple as you think because the kitchen can't (for the moment) delete some icons needed for making the animation (a xml file is used instead of a png file). Indeed, the kitchen copy all the icons from the theme you selected and replace the original icons by the new ones in your framework.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Fightspit:
New alternative data connection icons for

It's easiest to use the apktool on a computer running Linux, which is a free OS. Google search about how to use apktool and do some hardcore reading. As to Linux versions, I suggest using either Ubuntu or Mint.

Isn't there just a .zip to flash these beautyfull icons on ARHD 5.2.0

I tried to get it work but it doesn't
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
Use the UOT kitchen!! It has these icons...just choose which icons u want and then upload your framework-res.apk, com.HTC.resources.apk and systemui.apk and it will cook a flashable zip for you. :)

And yes you need to be rooted and have a de-odexed rom.

[HD Mini General] dudesimo:
synchronizing Google calendar

in order to synchronize your Google calendar so that it would appear on your HTC HD mini calendar just follow these steps:D

1- Go to your tools then tab Active sync

2-tab menu then configure the server and in the server address write m.google.com then tab next and write your Gmail adress in the user name field and ur password concerning the domain u write Google . tab next then it will appear 4 things to synchronize contacts emails calendar and tasks . select them all or what ever u want and tab finish. now you are done with the setups.

3- go to schedule and and in peak time select (as items arrive) check the two boxes ( use above settings when roaming) and (send receive when i clik send)

4- tab sync and u will have your Google calendar in ur htc hd calendar now ur able to add events from your Gmail and they will be added into ur phone automatically and vice versa .

Good luck

Hi.

I have a adress with the ending @googlemail.com. Active Sync didn't work for me when I only used my username. Therefore I would suggest you try themithun@gmail.com as username.

[Desire HD General] override182:
As we know, now we have a clockworkmod port for our Desire HD. It is fully functional and working. It is an awesome thing to be able to flash a custom rom and kernels onto our device.

but the question is, will there be a one click solution or a simpler way to have a custom recovery without downgrading to ENG hboot like now is required to push a custom recovery onto our device..

- will Desire HD have a total ROM Manager support as in just install clockworkmod recovery via ROM Manager like HTC Desire and others?

- or will there be something like Unrevoked where its a one click of having a total free custom recovery onto our device..

the issue is, not everyone is smart enough to perform the risky hboot downgrade and pushing clockwork manually.. a simpler solution would be very handy. This is so that newcommers could just root via Visionary perma root and then sorta like download rom manager via market and then just install CWM without downgrading hboot

Thanks for your answers
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I doubt it very much....maybe rom manager will recognised the

DHD from default.

A clockwork app mmm usful..

But again I cant see it..

Root

S 0FF

Android SDK

Fastboot/adb shell

Clockwork

Thats the way I went...I do agree that an easier method would help the newbies..

What is needed is an all in one app - Now that would be fun to build..

I think the Devs are far to busy with custom roms and kernels hahaha

Not as Im complaining...:)

We'll see...
[Desire HD General] override182:
btw, why does clockwork needs to be pushed rather than like previously a device (htc desire) clockworkmod can be installed via using rom manager directly.. is it that rom manager still dosent support Desire HD?

true indeed, a click by click software that automates like unrevoked would be very handy.. afterall.. not everyone is an advanced user to perform those brick risking methods ;)
[Desire HD General] vimto25:
I also wish an easyer way was possible as I really want to push a custom Rom and kernal but just a kernal will do for me. Is there any you tube videos that show you step by step to put a kernal on dhd? If not would some1 find the time to do this? This would help newbies like myself to feel more comfortable.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Yes that right,no support yet, its early days and Im sure things will get easier as time goes by.
[Desire HD General] override182:
or is it that clockworkmod really need an engineering bootloader to work on desire HD.. i really hope that there would be a simpler way.. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Mojo Fones:
What's the noob friendliest way to just remove some stock apps (amazon,sound hound,Twitter,etc)? I reckon I need to do a root at least, but can't seem to work out what else I need to do. Cheers.
[Desire HD General] override182:
use visionary to permaroot ur device.. then u can use titanium backup to uninstall those apps with root permissions
[Desire HD General] Mojo Fones:
Excellent, thank you very much.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I have a feeling you need clockwork recovery too...
[Desire HD General] Mojo Fones:
Worked perfectly with just a temp root, oh sorry for the hijacking override. :)
[Desire HD General] override182:
happy to see it worked out for you.. its ok mate.. no big deal at all.. :p
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
No, permaroot via visionary and titanium backup as removal will work fine without CW, beware though take apps out of your /system folder may cause future OTA upgrades to fail when they try and upgrade apps that are no longer present
[Desire HD General] override182:
indeed.. i almost forgot about that...

this thread is dying :(
