[Nook Color Android Development] rluzania:
so here was my way around the adb step.

you type in the sudo sh command as normal untill you get to the adb kill-server and adb devices part.

in your finder navigate to the folder that the adb file is in. it supposed to be where ever you extracted the android sdk.

android/tools/

Instead of typing adb kill-server you are going to drag and drop the adb file it self from the finder to the terminal window. in my case it looks something like this.

/Users/<my home folder>/android/tools/adb

your path will look different depending on where in the drive you have it located.

so now step 16 is going to look something like this.

sudo sh -c "mkdir -p ~/.android; echo 0x2080 > ~/.android/adb_usb.ini; /Users/<my home folder>/android/tools/adb kill-server; /Users/<my home folder>/android/tools/adb devices"

so every time you use the adb command you have to link it to the path on your hard drive. i know theres a way to change directories so that you just type adb and it finds it. but im not that knowledgeable with linux. and im sure someone that is could help us out with that.
[Nook Color Android Development] eason101:
hmmm im stuck on the same step too... it seems when i do that it doesn't respond at all. and when i type in adb devices to check whether it's connect, it won't do anything.... sry..im a total noob ~_~
[Nook Color Android Development] rluzania:
i would love to help you but if nothing is coming up i have no idea where to begin. i almost want to say that maybe the sd card didnt work on the nook. but im not sure if thats it either. or do you have the android sdk app launched? i know that opens up another terminal window that when you type in to doesn't do anything. umm let me know what you find.
[Nook Color Android Development] newton1666:
r8? no adb

sdk is now at r8, not sure if that has anything to do with it. But in tools folder there is no adb.
[Nook Color Android Development] scratchfury:
It has been moved to a new folder named "platform-tools" instead of "tools".
[Nook Color Android Development] newton1666:
Thanks for that, I feel very silly.
[Nook Color Android Development] newton1666:
I wanted to thank you for this, as I was getting frustrated changing my bash profile. Anyone else in this boat don't forget you need to drill down (cd) to where the adb is, in my case downloaded sdk just recently it's in platform-tools folder, to do the adb install.

If you just upgraded from an earlier version of the sdk and don't see adb, even in platform-tools, just run an Update All... under Installed packages. Hopes this helps others.
[Nook Color Android Development] plariers:
hey people. I really appreciate the work that has been done so far.

I'm trying to format a micro SD card with dd. Here's the problem: I was able to unmount the SD card in terminal but then it won't find the nooter disk img:

sh-3.2# diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
Unmount of all volumes on disk1 was successful
sh-3.2# dd if=nooter_sdcard_40mb.img of=/dev/disk1
dd: nooter_sdcard_40mb.img: No such file or directory

what am I doing wrong? I have the file in question, and this isn't a complicated step. Thanks for any help.
[Nook Color Android Development] plariers:
My bad, figured it out. In case anyone else runs into this, in OSX you can drag and drop files into terminal to insert accurate file paths

worked perfectly
[Nook Color Android Development] lngwstx:
You are my hero!!!!!!!

I've been banging my head against a wall for HOURS UPON HOURS trying to get the adb to work. And you fixed me up in a few minutes. I love you so much right now. :p Seriously.
[Nook Color Android Development] ffonsok:
It lists my device # after step 16, but I can't install the packages then.

I got this far, and then when I try the command to adb install the app, I get

-bash:adb: command not found

any tips?
[Nook Color Android Development] BayouBlue:
Thanks!

Dragging and dropping the path to ADB did the trick!!

I was able to fix the issue with Titanium Backup saying that I would not be able to restore.

[HD2 General] pedrovay2003:
Okay, so I'm on the T-Mobile USA network. I've had a Dash 3G for a long time, and I've recently picked up an HD2. My Dash 3G gets full bars in my house, no matter where I am. But when I put the SIM card in the HD2, I'm lucky if I get any service at all. If I so much as LOOK at it the wrong way, the signal dies completely.

Is there a definitive way of increasing the antenna reception, or is the HD2 just like this all the time? Or is it just my phone? Is there a specific radio people have tried that have improved reception (I'm in Utah, if that makes a difference)?

Sorry, I'm still way new to all this flashing and stuff. :P

(I also posted this in the HD2 Q&A board, since I didn't know if the version of the phone would make a difference. It IS a TMOUS version.)
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Im my experience...the HD2 actually has EXCELLENT recption compared to older HTC devices...so it may just be your phone. If it's fairly new, maybe ask T-Mobile for a warranty replacement.
[HD2 General] aryden:
same issue

I have had the same issue since i brought my HD2 home. My roommate has a new G2 and gets full signal as there are 3 Tmo towers within 1000 feet of my house. Yet I barely get 2 bars and most often, none at all. She gets "lol4g" throughout the house while I barely get it when outside, pointed at the tower holding onto my tinfoil hat.

HTC HD2 TMOUS

WinMo ver: CoreCell 4.2

Android: MattC leo + Froyo /w sense 1.8

Radio: 2.10.50.26

I have reloaded every version of the readio and nothing is making it better. When I went to TMO, I had full signal sitting in their store so they pretty much didnt do anything but soft reset the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
ok, im having some problems here that i cant figure out. maybe im just being stupid. whenever i want to edit a framework-res.apk, for instance, when i want to manually add a super circle battery mod; i do things in this order:

1. decompile the apk to edit the necessary xml files

2. edit them, usually copy and paste the ones i need from a txt

3. recompile with new code edits

4. replace the necessary png files

but for some reason whenever i go to recompile the apk after modifying the code, i get errors and apkmanager will not produce a usable apk. wth am i doing wrong here?

these are the errors i get
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and say that you didn't read the little bit about editing xml files in the console output.

You are supposed to delete the resources.arsc file prior to recompiling if you change any xml file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
sorry, forgot to add that but yes i remove it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamikam:
U did not mention which version of apktool u use
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
latest version of apkmanager
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
If you are deleting the resources.arsc file then the problem lies in the steps you provided in your op.

You can't compile the apk with different xml files and then replace the pngs. You have to edit/replace/delete/etc all before recompiling.

Battery mod for example will be looking for extra pngs associated with the xml file.

If you edit the xml file but don't put the correct png's in before compiling then yes you will get errors because the xml is "looking" for files that don't exist.

If you're trying to add just the battery mod you should be able to just change the pngs and xml files by drag-n-drop from one apk to another WITHOUT extracting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
i've done it that way originally as well. still the same errors. i know i dont have to decompile for the batt mod. i just used that as a test/example. just trying to figure out wtf before i start trying to mod other stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
You should be recompiling it as a system app and choosing yes to keep extras or what not.

If all else fails, try another framework file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamikam:
U should know that version 1.3.2 is not working right for most people... use version 1.3.1.

U can see on dev's page that it highly recommended to stick to 1.3.1 cuz 1.3.2 has many bugs.

So switch... the problems will go away... I promise.

Edit:

Btw.. I'm not using apk manager... I'm using apktool by it self.

U would need to simply replace the jar file in the folder of apk manager to get the right version going.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
ok, im still having issues with this. i can manipulate images with no problems but whenever i add to the xml files i get errors or either bootloops. can someone give me a step by step on how to add this manually to the framework?

im adding the stat_sys_battery. stat_sys_battery_charging and zzz_stat_sys_battery_1 xml files and the pngs to the framework and zipping and all i get are bootloops. what am i missing here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
the resources.arsc is located in the keep folder of apk manager.

recompile in apkmanager and when you get the place in the script where it asks you if you want to keep any associated files tell it yes and then you must delete the resources.arsc file in the keep folder and then finish the script in apk manger.

i have no problems doing any of this but when i recheck the xml file after recompiling non of my changes are in the file. maybe im crazy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chogardjr:
battery xml and png's

I am having the same problem and it seems no one has any useful info to assist in this. I have used apktool, apkmanager and eclipse. I can get close. I am trying to get the v2 power control notification to recognize the 101 battery png's rather than the 7 or 8 that it has now. I can use 7zip and get everything transfered over and it looks right with the battery but the icon for 4g in the notifications is pointed to the sync icon. Doing it the other way i can get everythig looking right, 4g icon but the battery icon is completely gone. Have you had any luck seeing you were trying to do something very similar. I am about to pull my hair out as I have spent more than 40 hours trying to make this work.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMailuhu:
I've had several Android phones in the past, latest being LG:GT540 most of them being 'pay as you go' or 'prepaid' phones.

I now own a $20 vodafone carrier qwerty phone (vodaf. 345)

I've just ordered a HTC 7 Trophy under contract with Vodafone eventhough there is non consumer services around WP7 available yet here in The Netherlands (Zune/XLive/Market) but Microsoft CEO Netherlands said it's WP7 'official' launch would be 1Q 2011.

That said, i think even with all the short comings this OS has lot's of potential.

Ofcourse a few 'this' and 'thats' are missing but this OS is brand new and Microsoft couldn't wait anylonger releasing wp7 seeing the enourmous gap with Google and Apple.

Updates are the way to go and WP7.0.1 coming early 2011.

If microsoft is as good with its development and services as it does with its xbox(live) (Though i'm a ps3 user) i have no doubt this OS can be a HUGE impact on future handsets.

In a year or so (my) htc would be rather old, but the OS etc hopefully a great opposition in the mobile industrie dominance.

I'll be patient, thank god ChevronWP7 got somethings in motion at Microsoft.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Hi there,

I'd like to flash my phone back to stock because the volume up, 1, Q, A, FN, Shift keys are all not working. However, it looks like the first step in flashing back to stock is "enable download mode by holding down #1 and Power"

Well gee, that's impossible now . :-/ I was hoping to bring this into the sprint store to get a replacement... however when they see me running the Viper rom, I'm not sure how willing they are going to be..

Any ideas ?
[Epic 4G General] Comando156:
Well my idea is this if you don't already have the insurance ... add it. Flash the stock rom threw clockwork and a kernal that doesn't interfere with the boot logo, then they won't even check in store if u go in for a keyboard problem.

But if you wanted to go all the way, break off one of the copper battery pins where the battery snaps in so the phone won't power on. Or apply a super small piece of scotch tape to them, and make sure its postioned where it can't bee seen easy, and the phone doesn't power on. Then go to the sprint store and say the phone will not turn on and for the past week or so before my keyboard keys bla bla bla have not been working.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Thanks for the ideas. I do have the full insurance on it. I'll try your first idea today!
[Epic 4G General] Comando156:
Total protection $7.00 is what I have.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Yeah I have that too, are they going to give me a fuss if I have a different ROM on it?

Well go figure........the keys are now working again......sigh. I didn't try to fix it at all on purpose.
[Epic 4G General] Comando156:
I would odin back to stock and still go. To sprint store for replacement. And at my sprint store the guy didn't even power it on when I complained of screen wobble, or check for sd card. He just went to back room and grabbed another one. I suppose every store is different though, depending on how they follow rules.
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
I just got mine replaced for one of the battery contacts breaking, for reals. So it's not an unheard of problem :-). They didn't give me any hastle, though they did try to turn in on.

I think you can use the command adb reboot download to put the phone in download mode.

[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
You can use clockworkmod to flash the stock di18 rom. After that, you can use clockworkmod to flash an update that restores the stock recovery. Both files are posted in the development section. I did this when I exchanged my wifes phone (the usb connection was broken so I couldn't odin) and didn't have any problems.

No... This did not work effectively for me when I took the Samsung Galaxy Captivate (SGH-I897) SIM from AT&T and inserted it into the Tab... After talking to AT&T for several hours and even asking them to validate with Samsung we determined the following:

1. Audio calls using the 3G network is not possible at this point in time.

2. Needed to enable a separate data plan with AT&T and a new phone # using the SIM for 3G data (2GB/mo = $25 + I added the unlimited messaging = $15 /mo).

Of course, it's not supported by AT&T but then why buy the tab if you can't do sh*t about it? If that the case, I would prolly buy an iPad and feed Steve Jobs so he could be wealthier :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Suleeto:
What the heck is wrong with some of you? Why don't some of you think for yourselves? I didn't even hestitate, I asked the sales rep if I could pop my SIM into their display model and she said ok. It downloaded data immediately on my account. And I have unlimited data plan and the SIM normally sits in my Tilt 2.

It works. I had the common sense to just do it then and there.

Sure, it doesn't make calls. That's a ROM issue. But then that's also heavily documented here on this forum and the info to defeat that is there, too.

Sheesh.

I believe it *MIGHT* have something to do with the ads being taken away. I'm just guessing. Or a broken pipe somewhere, but that wouldn't make sense if some other streamers are able to do it.
