I installed vodoo lagfix (froyo 2.2) preview6 (or what is newest as today) Before that I had replaced sh with bash, sh was link in same directory binary bash. After vodoo lagfix i encountered reboots... Then i saw that shell is inacessible and now i need to copy bash back to /system/bin (bash is zero bytes) to acess shell and fix things :) Looks quite simple but i simply cant do it root explorer isint working android mate either any other suggestions? Maybe i can somehow can give root permisions to some simple file explorer? Now my phone restarts as soon as i unplug it and it goes into sleep mode...

Even before that I couldnt simply copy (why there is no cp command?) i had to cat file > file

BTW voodoo really works phone is fast :)

I hope i posted in right thread :confused: thanks for answers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blubxd:
Had a similar problem: I have JG1, and clockwork replaces my shell and it then becomes unusable.

If you still have your old shell bianry lying around somewhere, or want to "install" your bash again, you can do it by creating an update.zip file.

I've attached a template for this - copy your desired shell binary to system/bin/sh, name it update.zip, place on SD card, go into recovery mode and hit "apply: update.zip"

IMPORTANT: the attached template is untested - you can, however, use the file I actually use, and simply adjust it for your needs (replace its shell binary, and look at the update script... nevermind the "root" text in it... I simply used the rooting update.zip as a base for it...)

Here's what I need when I play around with clockwork: http://db.tt/xGDcT1y

As for the template, see the post's attachments.

I hope this helps.

Cant apply update zip, because there is no such option only reinstall apps and so on... Have 2e recovery. Looks like i will need to use heidmall or similar app.

Hello people,

A friend of mine was using NextSense 7.0 without ext partition.

We did a nandroid backup,then partitioned the sd card using rom manager and installed AuraxtSense 8.0

Now he told me that he needs the SMS messages from the old rom.Am i going to have problems if i nandroid restore the old rom(nextsense 7.0) ,backup the sms with an application and then restore the new nandroid backup(auraNextsense 8.0)?

Is the partition that i have created going to be erased? Is this safe at all?

Couldnt wait for an answer so i went on.Works like a charms.Managed to take an sms backup,go back to new rom and restore sms :)

Hi,

I made a mistake while doing the TouchWizmod and deleted the original TouchWiz data..

Now i have a blackscreen with the notification bar..

I fixed it with installing LauncherPro via Adb.

Now i can see something but when i go to Homescreen swichter it says not determined yet..

I already made a factory reset.

I'm thinking about flashing my SGS via Kies with reghack but I'm not sure..

Can anyone help me restoring the TouchWizdata?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuclark:
Deleting the TWlauncher's data will only cause TWlauncher to recreate that data, it's not big problem.

You're actually describing a correct behaviour in the second part of your post - having installed launcher pro the phone now needs to know which app (TW launcher or launcher pro) to use as default; that's why it's asking you after reboot.

To fix TW launcher, pick that as the default app and leave it to recreate it's data - it should only take about 30 seconds or so to revert to the default TW layout; plus then maybe another 30 seconds or so to rebuild your app list when you click on applications.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trickst0r:
Twlauncher is not in the list,so I cant pick it.

And it still says not determined yet.

Even after picking Launcher Pro..

Any Suggestions?

What would be the best way to return the phone without any fingerprints of ROM flashing?

Ive searched all the posts looking for the right J16 Stock ROM to flash... would this be the best? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8511186#post8511186

Its quite confusing, especially the sticky in the dev section... some posts have a stock rom but then have replies saying the links dont work anymore... Anyone have an exact post to download from?
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
I don't what this J ONE 6 you speak of is. I, kid...:D

Yes, that post you linked to is fine. Just download T959UVJI6.rar and flash through ODIN.

You should...

1) Backup your SD cards to your computer if you want anything off them.

2) Optionally Sync with Google one last time

3) Format your internal SD card at a minimum

4) ODIN back to J EYE 6

That should do it.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
Would you even be able to flash via CWR if you unrooted first?

and to install everything back on the new phone, can I just install Clockwork and reflash the Nandroid backup?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinimint:
I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find it anywhere. Doesn't de-odexing take the .odex file and put it within the .apk or something to the effect of that? With that said, aren't the .odex files there in order to increase performance and disk space? If doing so decreases performace and disk space, and the only thing you get out of it is theming, don't you think it's a waste? :confused:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Comando156:
Yea all the vids I see show gt as faster... but the tests are optomized for snapdragon processor I thougt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
What I do is:use 7zip and put all my apps in /system/app folder,that way if I factory reset the phone all my apps get installed plus they also open up and perform faster in /system/app folder.I used minimist version of Syndicate rom,i have about 20-30 apps,20 live wallpapers,custom ringtones nd themes,3 launchers and with all that my rom is only 124mb!
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
do u put all the apps from a rom and do it that way then replace it on a new rom?

& yea i can't believe how people are acting in theese forums.when did it become the devs job to make something for them then they just complain pretty sad 8^/
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
1 install any rom

2 install all the apps u need

3 use an app to make backup of apps u installed(i use and recomend AppControl,its really usefull) but you can user other apps,i think ES FileManager makes backups also.

4 Copy apps u pulled to ur pc

5 I usially get minimilst rom like aosp or syndicate and remove everything I dont need(stock browser,ringtoned,etc),just open u:cool:p any rom with 7zip,delete apps u dont want and add the apps u pulled to /system/app folder

6 Now u have a custom rom that u can install

Hope this helps,i have posted GalaxyBlue rom on here,u can try it out its based on oasp magic its fast with some really nice apps included,i made new version based on syndicate also but I wont post it cuz alot of people dont appriciate sht on here.

If I do this, will the market show these apps as being installed? Also, is there a way to backup data for certain apps like Angry Birds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
No they will not show up as installed from my experience..
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Yes they will show up in market or about 90% of them will show up.

As far as large games go u don't wanna put them in /system/app folder but install them regular or put them in /sdcard/data folder in your rom but you also gonna have to mod MANIFEST.MF file,to make it short its not worth the trouble for large games-just install them regular thats what i do.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Hi Guys,

I've been using Android for few days, but GPS performance isn't quite the same as WinMo (w/ GPS moddriver). Its quite bad actually lock normally takes 3-5 minutes on a avg and sometimes it does not even take place compared to WinMo on which its mostly under a minute

I've tried GPS status application AGPS data download..but for me installing GPS status make the GPS performance even worse..is it working for you guys?

I came across a software GPS Boost..has anybody tried it, Galaxy S users have reported a good feedback...does it work well on HD2 also..the reason i'm asking is its because a paid app..has anybody tried it? Any other tips?

I'm using MDG Sense clean v2.4 build with MDJ 6.1 Kernel...

Try running QuickGPS on WinMo before booting in Android (if this works, repeat at least once every week). This has been reported to help for most.

[Wildfire General] Mowg1i:
I'm getting a wildfire delivered on Weds, it's going to be network branded so I'm going to be de-branding.

I've been reading through the forums over the afternoon and have one question that I could do with other peoples input on.

I've decided that I'm going to load a custom ROM, I've read a lot of the guides and feel quite confident about the whole procedure, however I'm really stuck when it comes down to choosing a ROM.

I've looked through the other thread that lists the main differences, I'm just wondering what other users of these ROM's have to say about there chosen ROM.

I was originally thinking about using the Cyanogen ROM??? just wanted other peoples views/inputs on the various ROM's

Thanks.
[Wildfire General] Infinitum:
Read this first, and look closely at the red marked text. Is that something you want? The big question is, do you want the HTC Sense look or do you want LauncherPro?

I'm using the latest Openfire with SetCpu, and my Wildfire is not gettin any faster than this. The downside with Openfire is that it doesn't have those 'important' HTC apps that you want. For example HTC Camera, HTC Flash and the HTC caller id app..

There is a small chance that I might flash WildPuzzle because of those missing apps.
[Wildfire General] Mowg1i:
As mentioned in my OP I have seen and read that thread.

I'm more looking for peoples views/reviews on how good/bad each ROM is when used on a day to day basis.
[Wildfire General] Mowg1i:
no caller id!!! need that to avoid those unwanted phone calls.

with the overclocked ROM do you see better performance when browsing etc?
[Wildfire General] Infinitum:
Yeah I see a noticeable difference :) With proper settings in SetCPU, phone and launcherpro, the phone becomes noticeable fast :)
[Wildfire General] Humper.GFX:
Thought I could use the same thread to post my questions, they've got the

same topic.

- How do I copy my current set of OS/rom or what you call it?

- Due to the fact I like the HTC sense but not the lag of the Wildfire

I thoght WildPuzzleROM could be pritty good. To overclock I guess it's "setcpu"

or somthing like that. Could you guys help me which one to pick and

what I should know about it.

If Im not totally of I guess I should first have to root it, then copy the old rom

and then simply change to the new Wildpuzzle rom.

- And last, is it possible to find swype for wildfire WITH english and swedish keyboard. Or atleast swedish (and åäö).

Thanks for all awnsers!

If you want something completely new, froyo AOSP, check out CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1.. it's perfectly stable.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755795

With both you'll get a lot more internal memory than stock ROM. If you still want A2SD, it's built in nfinitefx45's, and if you want it for CM6 then just run the easy froyo a2sdext in my signature. Just partition the SD card to ext2 and then upgrade from ext2 to ext3 before installing nfinitefx and it will work automatically. If using with CM6, partition anytime before running the script.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

Low memory can slow down the phone... lag the hell out of it if there is no room for "working" memory. You won't be able to view photos or listen to musice if you have too much on your phone. Been there done that flashed on cm6 no problems since.
[Touch HD General] unionjaks:
Hello all,

I have tried a lot of the win mobile and android roms from the xda forums. But i always went back to windows mobile 6.1 as i work and need at least a days worth of battery. Having tried android and then messing with kernel changes i eventually got just over 8 hours with an average days use of texts, calls etc. I then read that in actuall fact, most of the(real) android phones did not fair much better than 8 hours anyway unless you did the recharge/off/recharge trick(desire).

So if it is possible to get the 8 hours, even if i had to muck about with complicated kernel stuff, why cant the android cabs be written with the required changes ?

In fact, why cant the devs start actually looking at their win rom/android creations and tuning them to make actually usable in the real world ?

So this is my challenge, before you release a rom try to tweak it for people who dont sit around a charger all day.

Steve.
[Touch HD General] pisiiki:
Steve the main problem comes from the fact that android is using the micro sd all the time. With a working bootable android rom we will face also the fact that most of our hardware is now initialized by windows mobile before we launch haret and with an android rom that won't be the case.
[Touch HD General] Stickman89:
The R/W to the microSD card is not that much of an issue for the battery life, yes it may contribute to the battery reduction but only by a small fraction, the only adverse effect of running android from your SD card will be a reduced lifespan of the memory card and possible damaging your SD card permanently depending on the type of filesystem used.

We need dedicated Blackstone developers because tbh it's all becoming a mess, there seems to be no communication or no-one testing XDAndroid releases on the blackstone before made public because if there were they would have noticed by now that they have messed up the qwerty.kl for us users, the home button which also doubles up as a task viewer/switcher has been remapped to power off since 3-4 releases ago.

Yes you can amend this in spare parts but we have still lost the task viewer/switcher functionality due to this and we now have two power buttons.

This is becoming a joke, if you put a valid point in any of these threads they become dead or ignored almost immediately.

[Touch HD General] Elim:
Sometimes it is helpful to remember that this forum and many others with home-made ROMS or Android installations are for developers. User which will have stable releases have to wait for or use the offical ones. All others here are also developers or testers which help other developers. Therefore the releases here are often beta- or test-releases.

Nobody is committed to use them but everybody is invited to collaborate :)

And the goal is thereby a usable ROM or installation but the problem is that this is very komplex for all when it's made in spare time. And when you look what happends here with the Android installations in the last months, many issues are now solved.
[Touch HD General] unionjaks:
Elim,

although it is obvious that using the roms/android builds is up to the user, it is also up to the user to feed back to the devs...otherwise there is not much point in making them at all, for other devs or for "beta testers" ie general readers of the xda forum.

My point in the first post is not only have htc(the actual developers) forgotten about handsets being actualy usable(read practical) but devs are now straying into the "just roll off a rom a day". No one is doubting the time and effort put into this, but someone has to man up and say it how it is. There is no point is creating roms/android if they last a few hours but can do everything(or nothing).

So again i lay down the gauntlet to devs, whether from htc or xda(or both) to concentrate on roms for people who work and there fore have no time to charge untill at home/car.

Steve.
