[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
whenever I mess with activations or anything like that, you know, network side stuff...I like to have an official rom on there. That way everything goes smoothly. More often than not, Sprint cant activate or the devices wont activate with a custom rom...

so thats me, ill always run an official when activating or esn swaps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygu3:
Thanks for the response. Getting the phone for her as a surprise, can I still run the ruu after the phone is deactivated? Or should I run the ruu before deactivation Tuesday night?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
You can do it either way. It'll still install.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygu3:
Thanks for the help, I'll run the ruu after deactivation!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markogin:
Does anybody else have the same problem?

I can activate if but then the phone doesn't make the call with Google voice. It makes it as a regular phone call.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jcbpnl:
I have the same problem. I suspect it is something to do with the custom dialer that SE uses.

hello i tried to put custom baltic rom, and all was good till i had error when it was updating, so is stuck on emergency screen, now when i trying to boot a phone its keep showing lg first screen, i can go in download mode, but recovery mode dosnt work... any ideas?
[GT540 Optimus General] m4nu4l:
lg ally is not gt540
[GT540 Optimus General] skribbler86:
Well its not suprising that you have bricked your phone. Going by the title of this post it seems that you have flashed the wrong update into the phone. Anyway, get the correct update and reflash your phone with it in download mode.
[GT540 Optimus General] hitakiller:
try to launch kdz updater in CSemergency mode and reflash your phone

(enlarge the winow of kdz and clique on DIAG and finally choose CSemergency)

sorry for my english
[GT540 Optimus General] onedowg:
I know. Its optimus. My mistake. But the rom was right. i think windows 7 was messing. Cuz tryed with vista in emergency mode it was grand. So now all good. Thanks for replays. My brother was ****ing hes pants when i said its bricked :DD
[GT540 Optimus General] skribbler86:
Lol good to hear that everything ended up just fine. I've bricked my phone countless of times. Every time i bricked it i seemed to feel less worried. Its very unlikely that the phone would turn into a permanent doorstop from a bad flash, imo.

Straight from my GT540!

Hi guys I m looking for a screen-lock customizer, but no luck yet. Suggestions? :-)
[Defy General] charlito:
Widgetlocker is great.

but you have to pay :(
[Defy General] psixda:
I see and there is no trial version to test it, but the app seems nice.
[Defy General] Alex530:
You will not regret widgetlocker. Trust us. Its probably more stable than the lockscreen on my vibrant.

[Defy General] charlito:
I downloaded it online to test it (and check it works on the defy with launcher pro) and after that I bougt it. Awsome app.

Love to have widget on the lock screen
[Defy General] psixda:
Ok I'll try it and I must say it's quite cheap after all :-)
[Defy General] civicvx94:
Are you guys having luck with Launcher Pro on the Defy? My sister has one and I tried to install LP and it lagged horribly..could hardly even switch screens it was so bad
[Defy General] Viridis:
Works fine for me, actually improved performance a lot, you don't have a live wallpaper on by any chance?
[Defy General] thomi:
Been running it just fine too.
[Defy General] psixda:
I actually use launcherpro and it's perfect, good performance and nice effects.
[Defy General] psixda:
Finally installed widgetlocker and I must say that's a great software. The only thing I'm missing is a way to launch it directly from a shortcut; anyone knows if it's possible?
[Defy General] Higgsy:
in what respect? can you explain further? Where do you want this shortcut on the lock screen itself or on one of your home screens?
[Defy General] psixda:
Sorry guys I must be blind: there's a specific shortcut created by the program itself which does exactly what I need :-)

Thanks anyway higgsy ;-)
[Defy General] vanloque:
Is it strange that i don't use the autolocker at all? When i don't use the phone or put it in a pocket, it push the power button. That seems pretty much enough to shut the screen and block the touchscreen.

But the lockscreen would be of use if I often had a risk of something pushing the power button in my pocket...
[Defy General] psixda:
That may be true, but I find the power button very inconvenient to use and when I need to take a quick look at the watch or missed calls without messing the screen a screenlocker is the best solution.
[Android Apps and Games] Zanthius:
Hi All,

I've done a search but can't find an answer. I have a whole heap of PDF forms, ones that are editable directly on the PDF its self (like this one: www[dot]irs[dot]gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf ).

I'm looking for an android app that will allow me to edit these PDF's and save them on the phone. I've tried adobe, pdf viewer, beamreader and repligo.

Is there one? Doesn't matter if you have to pay.

Thanks.

[G Tablet General] anjenaire:
While I was playing around with the Sylvania MID 7" from Sears, I found that it was able to search my local area network using ES Explorer and find files on my Windows devices (including my main Windows 7 machine). That device went back for a variety of reasons. Now with the G Tablet under ES Explorer, I can't see my PCs or NAS devices and I can only type in IP addresses which don't seem to work (even my Linksys NAS which runs a version of Linux doesn't connect). With the other device I was able to find video files and play them. This device isn't allowing me to do that.

Are there some settings or tweaks I need to be looking at?
[G Tablet General] copc:
Just checked my es expolorer and under lan I can see my network by IP.

Running DLink DIR-655 router.

I can see my dlink nas and other PC

I can even login to see my Home sever (HP Media Smart Server)
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
I have a TonidoPlug running Tonido and was able to add it as a new server in ES Explorer. I am able to browse the entire server and play media, open images, and open Word docs, etc from it. SUPER EASY!!!

It won't play avi's, but it will play mp4 videos streaming.

Thanks for the tip on ES. I didn't know it could connect over the network.
[G Tablet General] howtodoo?:
I kinda think now. that this device was over developed for an under developed os platform. think about it, this device has preemo hardware right yet googles apps are half a$$ working and some arent working at all. i think mabe google needs to step up their app development skills a lil then mabe all these new devices will play nice. its been said that apples apps are better quality... i hate apple lol im currently running a moto droid 1 over clocked to 1.2 on pete's bugless beast 2.2 froyo rom and let me add my phone works ten times faster then the galaxy tab this gtablet and the ipad?? how??? i havent a friggin clue. it dont make sense. android is awsome bottom line this device has potential will that potential be wasted?? i hope not for. what do u guys think.
[G Tablet General] h8rift:
This belongs in General unfortunately.

The true answer to why Google will not support this is that Honeycomb is their OS for tablets. The hardware manufacturers could not wait to release this hardware (to try to get an edge on the competition).

Currently, Google will not support and will not allow Android Market to go onto a device that does not fit certain criteria.

One of these is that the device MUST have a cellular radio.

Since most of these tablets do not, Google cannot and will not allow Android Market on it at this time.

Hope this answers your question.

[G Tablet General] howtodoo?:
it does thank you. i still think its a conspiracy lol.
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
Google doesn't support wifi only devices yet. I think with android 2.3 we will see a change with that, and that is when we will get this device to shine. It will take time for the hackers to work everything out. It took weeks/months for pete to get his rom to where it is today, and as great as he is, he had a lot of help from the huge DROID community. The community for this gtab is small but growing, and will get better with time. What isn't working fo you? I am on CM6 and got most everything working for google apps except ones where the hardware is limited like GPS/Phone. I have video conf, email, contacts, calender, gtalk, angry birds, flash, overclocking, n lots more etc...

[G Tablet General] howtodoo?:
i havent purchased it yet. but i want one so bad ive looked at a few of the cheaper tabs and this one looks like its got the best quality for its buck. the galaxy tab is over priced and seems to be less snappy, well from the videos ive seen of it in action. im not a 100% TECH SAVOY but ive rooted my droid and updated its build prop. in order to root this device u used the update.zip format or do i need adb shell to do it.
[G Tablet General] howtodoo?:
i dont use setcpu bc depending on some of the kernels you use in(in my case im using slayhers 1.2 ghz kernel) has and interactive governor built into the kernel.. and im using the compcache.zip . i use terminal emulator to execute the scripts to enable compache. go to peter alfono's main site and u will find all the detailed help you need. good luck man..
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
I'm using overclock widget, I saw it mentioned in another thread...some say it woks some don't, not sure if I notice a difference...I'm just trying to get this stable before I can even think about benchmarks.
[G Tablet General] mmracing:
I used Z4root and rooted my Gtablet with one click. I didn't need an update.zip or adb shell. So don't let the rooting hold you back because if someone like me (no programing or hacking expericence) can do it you surely can.

[General Questions and Answers] uoY_redruM:
Are there FREE alternatives to getting an unlock code for the phone other then your provider?

I requested an unlock code from T-Mobile and they said it would be in within 24-hours. I updated my listing (selling the phone on e-bay) to say it would include the unlock code....then I get an e-mail back from T-Mobile saying:

"Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, this subscriber is not eligible to receive the unlock code at this time. In order to be eligible, the subscriber must complete 40 days of active service. Please submit a new request 40 days after this subscriber was activated.

Thank You,

Hello all.

I've compiled the latest ClockworkMod recovery for the Tattoo. In addition to the normal features it has, this is using a custom smaller font, so the text fits better on a QVGA screen.

If you're already rooted, you can flash it with "flash_image recovery recovery.img" (after running "su" first) from a terminal shell prompt, or from adb shell.

v2.5.1.8 is the last version included in CyanogenMod 6 sources

v3.0.0.5 is the new recovery from CyanogenMod 7 sources

​
[Click Android Development] bladez:
Can you please tell me, in what way exactly is this Recovery better than Amon-RA?
[Click Android Development] arco68:
They both do the same basic things. What I find better with ClockworkMod is:

Can turn off signature verification (faster to install roms, and can install unsigned zip files)

Can select zip files in subfolders

Individually select which NAND partition to restore

Can use joy button and back key to navigate

Smaller font (in this special version), so you get to see all text on screen on QVGA devices
[Click Android Development] francians:
Is possible to add Ps3 Jailbreaking?
[Click Android Development] arco68:
You would need to ask the ClockworkMod author for that feature I'm afraid, but I doubt he well add it. Take a look here though.

Amazing recovery

Thank you very very much for this recovery. ROM Manager now works properly. BTW, where do I download ClockworkMod Recoveries for HTC Wildfire with my computer? I dont want to use my expensive 3G connection to download and want to use the school network.
[Click Android Development] arco68:
Only available through ROM Manager as far as I know, unless someone compiled it and made it available over at the Wildfire forums.
[Click Android Development] sorhe:
ROM manager does not work with me although I´ve installed this recovery... It seems that the rom manager does not recognize it and it keeps asking me to download clockwork recovery again, and there is no Clockwork recovery for tattoo in that menu????

What seems to B the problem??
[Click Android Development] arco68:
ClockworkMod recovery for the Tattoo isn't added to ROM Manager yet. Until now Tattoo owners had to use the Wildfire/Buzz recovery. I'll contact the author and ask if he can add this recovery for the Tattoo, so it's available from ROM Manager.
[Click Android Development] sunitknandi:

If I knew where the images were hosted, I could fetch them through PC.

With clockworkmod recovery I cannot flash some roms which flashed fine with maverick recovery. The installation aborted with this error:

E:Board does not support mtd utils.E:Failure at line 420:

write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:

The rom is actually flashed, and only boot.img not. So I can boot the rom after manually flash the boot.img.

Is there any way to include mtd utils future in this recovery, or must to return to maverick?
[Click Android Development] arco68:
I think it's a bug in clockworkmod. They changed some detection routines in the latest versions, which seems to have broken flashing to mtd when rom is using update-script instead of updater-script. I've heard that 2.5.0.9 is the latest which it worked correctly with. I'll look into it at some point unless they release a new version which fixes it.
[Click Android Development] francians:
clockworkmod 2.5.1.4 seems to be already out!

arco68 please could you take a look here: https://github.com/klutsh/android_bootable_recovery

or here: https://github.com/klutsh/psfreedom-kernels-patch

could you add psFreedom support?

edit: please fix also the font size for the tattoo screen ;)
[Click Android Development] arco68:
I suppose it can be done, so I'll take a look. Thanks for the links.
[Click Android Development] arco68:
Ran into some problems with the psfreedom recovery. Patching the kernel and compiling the recovery wasn't a problem, but mounting usb mass storage doesn't work. As far as I can see, there seems to be some bits missing in one of the files for the kernel patch for the Tattoo. I could have used the code from one of the other phones kernel patches, but unfortunately the kernel for the Tattoo is just too different from the other ones, that it can't be easily done. Dunno who the hell coded the board sources for the Tattoo, but I suspect he got fired or something, because sources for all other phones after the Tattoo are much more organized and similar to each other.
[Click Android Development] francians:
I think is very hard find what's missing to make it works.. can you do it?

I know you are workin' also on a wonderful rom, but also psfreedom is a nice project that need a skilled man :)
[Click Android Development] arco68:
I see the kernel patches for the Tattoo is no longer there. When he adds a working patch I'll try again.
[Click Android Development] francians:
Yeah, the patch has been forked from git, maybe wasn't working at all..

Nandroid backup

When I backup my phone with nandroid md5 sum for data.img is always wrong. If I adb shell to the phone and go to the directory of the last backup and calculate the sums and compare them to the ones in the nandroid.md5 file data.img always has a different sum then the one calculated by nandroid.

Any ideas?
[Click Android Development] cristi_bostan2005:
:confused: I can't flash the recovery... it says "out of memory"...
[Click Android Development] Vorbeth:
Mass storage has always been a problem when compiling 2.6.29 kernels for psfreedom.

To get it to work as it does now, the USB drivers from 2.6.32 are forced.

Difference being 2.6.29 uses the msm_hsusb driver and 2.6.32 uses the msm72k driver.

What alephezain did was patch them into a far more usable state than anyone else, prior to his patches none of the USB features would work.

My solution for this limit is to use "adb push" to access to SD Card while in recovery, I know it's not an ideal solution, but for saving $20 on buying a dedicated device, I can live with it.
[Click Android Development] francians:
until tattoo won't have a 2.6.3x kernel could be a clever solution :D
[Click Android Development] cristi_bostan2005:
can someone help...?

I tried flashing this recovery, but it didn't go right and I ended with a broken recovery. now, I can't enter recovery, therefore, I can't install new ROM... When I try flashing a recovery image, it says that my device is out of space. Possible solution?:(
[Click Android Development] arco68:
You can boot into the rom normally? If so, use adb to flash different recovery.

adb push recovery.img sdcard/
adh shell flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img

Dunno why it says running out of space for you though.

Is there any way to implement selective backup in that recovery? Because it's much longer than AmonRa backup, and i don't personally see the reason why backup cache
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
if you have dalvik-cache stored in cache partition then it would get backed up.

if you want to cut down the time clear cache by cachecleaner apps and then delete dalvik-cache, which gets recreated when you restore.

hope that helps
[Click Android Development] NForce25:
Well, I don't want to delete the cache, i just don't want to back it up. It's not that easy doing it manually, but i think it should be pretty easy to add a menu item calling nandroid script with slightly different parameters
[Click Android Development] arco68:
Klutsh is the right person to request this feature from. If you do, ask for a power off option too. :)
[Click Android Development] gollum82:

[Click Android Development] _nicolas_:
do you really need adb?

Or can i install it with the terminal of the phone t?
[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
Are you sure of your process to load it? I tryed from 2 to 3 and worked ok (previusly I tryed from my own version to arco's 3). Process is:

adb shell rm /sdcard/recovery.img

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img

adb shell flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img

If with this says the same then you have already installed v3 from arco.
[Click Android Development] arco68:
That means you're flashing the same recovery as you already have installed.
[Click Android Development] arco68:
In terminal is fine yes.
[Click Android Development] TattooHtc:
Terminal Works Fine;)

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

If it is called "recovery.img"!
[Click Android Development] arco68:
What rom, and what kernel? I'm guessing you don't have tattoo-hack loaded. Use adb and flash from within your current recovery.
[Click Android Development] NForce25:
