[Streak 5 General] BetaFoil:
When I try running the update to move from Rogers 1.6 to the O2 version of 1.6 it says software already up to date. Then it reboots without installing. Do you know a way to get around this?
[Streak 5 General] BetaFoil:
Sorry, it was a silly mistake. I tried to update like a regular update package instead of getting clockwork working.

fastboot boot problem

I have a stock Rogers Dell Streak.

I want to fastboot boot the clockwork recovery and nandroid my current setup. Then I want do a factory restore and nandroid that after booting the clockwork recovery.

I follow the guide "What you need to know about the Dell Streak - PDF"

at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776883&page=2

I used this is to get into fastboot mode and how to use fastboot.exe

I put the files with the recovery in c:\streak

I also have previously installed the android sdk for my HTC Dream.

So the results below show my problem. I can`t get it to boot the recovery.

The laptop is a Toshiba T135 Windows 7 32 bit.

[Streak 5 General] serenith:
The "What you need to know about your streak" guide says you should type :

fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery-clockwork-streak.img

I don't know what the "boot" option would be used for.
[Streak 5 General] david1212:
boot

I want to boot the clockwork recovery without actually flashing it.

Then I want to nandroid backup the phone as stock Rogers, in case I want to go back to it. Then I want to factory reset and then nandroid that.

This is what is referred to by the op.

I wonder if anyone has done this on Rogers 7921?
[Streak 5 General] serenith:
Well, are you sure, OP does not mention using fastboot with the boot option.

Then again, I'm a newb, I might be wrong.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] crx4xharder:
Anyone get this working yet? I remember earlier on someone posted a screenshot of it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] zebrapositions:
I posted the screenshot, its a modded android.policy.jar. The images it points to are in the com.htc.resources.apk. They're all mixed up. Either someone needs the source to compile one that points to the correct image or hexedit htc.resources. I've had no luck. The working one I used is from a mt4g port to the nexus one. Hope you have better luck if you try. I have the list of resources and which numbers they should be if anyone is good @hexedit'n. I spent waaaay too much time trying already.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] crx4xharder:
How did u get the mt4g ported one to work?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] zebrapositions:
Just take the android.policy.jar from the ROM and push it to /system/framework

Like I said, it doesn't look pretty but its functional. You will also need busybox with pkill for the hot restart function. I've tried getting a hold of snq- no luck.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] crx4xharder:
I tried to push the android.policy.jar file to /system/framework and nothing happened ... It pushed but changed nothing on boot
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] crx4xharder:
Could you maybe post or send me the .jar file? I remember evil took the power menu out randomly on that rom. I can only dl v.7 maybe its missing...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] wes342:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] stlouie65:
Thanks from me also
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] crx4xharder:
Although I was looking for the reboot options. And I couldn't get it to work anyways lol
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] zebrapositions:
Select restart

Can't get it to work at all?

adb push to your sdcard (or just copy normal method but then you'd have to change your device to charge only)

adb remount

adb shell

cp /sdcard /system/framework

exit shell

adb reboot

Paraphrasing of course. If anyone needs step by step directions, let me know.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] crx4xharder:
Yea, when I unzipped the attached file, I didnt have the jar file...

Got it to work by using root explorer, renaming, changing permissions and moving to /system/framework then rebooting. I wonder why adb wouldn't work...

Hey guys,

I just read something about a new firmware.. Xperia x10 2.1 GUI version?

What is it, what are the differences and are there any screenshots (of the differences) ?

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
LOL, try reading the thread.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackvibes:
Link me to the post/thread, because I can't find anything, not even when searching.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Hi Blackvibes,

The GUI has nothing to do with the X10 firmaware. It is the flash tool that we use to flash whatever firmeware you want from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825201

GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. This is a new version of the flash tool that Bin4ry has developed. The older version uses the DOS command.

Hope this helps.
[Droid 2 General] Veezo:
Hi I'm from uk, cannot update through OTA. My current android version is 2.2 . My phone is sim free, now comes my question, How can I update to 2.3 ?
[Droid 2 General] xryousukex:
2.3 Gingerbread is not even out yet, you'll know when its out when Nexus One's receive it.

so the latest version is 2.2.1
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
The 2.3(.2) update you might be thinking about is the 2.3.2 verizon update that was for the droid 2 in the US. I don't know if there is an equivalent to milestone 2 users or not,
[Droid 2 General] gmailpeter:

You're going to be waiting for a while, there is no public android 2.3 yet.
[7 Mozart General] kevieau:
Anyone know if a software upgrade will be able to refine the camera at all?

As it stands iphones camera ****s all over the mozarts :( shutter speed is too slow, needs ALOT of light to take a clean crisp picture and so on....

So yeah, anyone heard/read of a possible upgrade for it?

ps. Loving the mozart, dropped it 3 times (apprentice sparky) and no breakages. HTC know how to make a decent phone XD
[7 Mozart General] insectskin:
thats something i would also like to know...

Can anyone took good pics on moving objects??
[7 Mozart General] Krjal:
I hope there's some sort of fix, third party or official.

I almost bought a Mozart the other day but saw some sample shots :(

I thought my SGS had a bad camera!
[7 Mozart General] GenkaiMade:
Damn it I totally didn't mean to thank you for that!

Please tell me how the following photos aren't good? They're as close to perfect as you can get with a phone as far as I'm concerned!

[7 Mozart General] kevieau:
the perfect photos u posted..... You have to be PERFECTLY still to take them, and even when u are.... the slightes flash of a light, movement will blur in low light.

The iphone cameras lense has an entire f-stop more than the mozarts, so as far as quality goes, the 5mp iphone camera is better. 8mp just means u can blow up your blurred photos bigger than u would be able to blow up an iphones... but when u have dark, blurry shots.... i know im using them anytime soon :)

Yet as i said in my original msg, in full light, camera is perfectly fine. Take a bit of light away and the quality degrades VERY quickly

Iphone has 3rd party apps that get every bit out of the camera, hopefully a program will come out on windows phone that will give us the same.
[7 Mozart General] jking2011@live.com:

but ive seen other videos too were autofocus killed the whole clip.

still you cant compare it to iphone4 cam like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivosrlf0JJc

remember iphone4 is double the price and 4th generation cam

here is a nice compare of these two starting at 4:21

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eabDFVjIL20

mozart lacks in color it seems xD
[7 Mozart General] vangrieg:
What annoys the hell out of me with regard to the camera here is the button and the sound.

The button is too tight, I can't hold the lightweight phone steady when pressing it no matter how I try.

And then the sound. When you take a picture with flashlight, it triggers the sound, then flashes once for red eye reduction, and then takes the shot, flashing for the second time. Every normal person starts moving after he/she hears the sound, while the actual shot is taken some two seconds after.
[7 Mozart General] Hades32:
I had a Nokia N79 with a 5MP camera with a Zeiss lens and it took fantastic images. The mozart ones are totally crap. 9 out of 10 are blurry for me. The noise cancelation is far to strong it it gets the focus wrong (at least a little)... :(

As soon as the first Nokia WP7 phones come out I will upgrade...
[7 Mozart General] Hades32:
On the other hand there might be some issues with my camera. Otherwise I can't explain these photos: http://msmvps.com/blogs/bill/archive/2010/11/13/htc-mozart-camera-photos.aspx
[7 Mozart General] svarsgaard:
Well... we have lack of control on the camera part... to be perfect.. more settings need to be done during the photo were taken... but with this Mozart... not even a single preset can be found... when you're in low light condition... you gonna find your pics in a bit "blue+ish" mode..lol....

I love to play around with the camera... for a still picture, i'm gonna share on how to create a Lomo "look-a-like" pics with your Mozart ;

Apps needed :

1. Photo FX Free

2. HTC Photo Enhancer

..............................

First , take any picture....and open this Photo FX,

Choose : Manual (brightness, contrast, vignette)

You need to reduce a bit the brightness, increase a bit your contrast... put more vignette... then save the picture...

Later... you need to open the HTC Photo Enhancer... and open the previous saved picture.... choose under "Lively" mode... and save... there you go... you gonna get a vibrant color / tone just like a "Lomo" pics... hope you guys like it... ;)
[7 Mozart General] nonbind:
does somebody know an app for camera with touch focus, shot controls on display and other useful settings like dslr settings ?
[7 Mozart General] de_deej:
I've had the phone for 2 days ad have noticed that the shutter sound goes off well before the camera has actually taken the photos - hopefully HTC will fix this in a future update but for now my advice to anyone is to ignore the shutter sound.

Other than that I have been fairly impressed with the limited amount of test shots I have taken.
[7 Mozart General] nicksti:
I am on the fence on if to get the Trophy or the Mozart. As crazy as this question sounds, with all the issues the Mozart has is the camera actually better in the Trophy?

And I am leaning towards the Trophy for a silly reason - Xenons cannot be used as flashlights.

But I do prefer the build quality of the Mozart.
[7 Mozart General] Infuriated-Germ:
I would not have bought the Mozart had I known the gun metal case was super slippery (for those people with clean, non-greasy hands) and the flashlight app (I made good use of the one on my HD2 so yes, I miss it) doesn't work.

My advise, go for the Trophy
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] HansTWN:
I have some apps that I don't want to remove from my Streak but I don't want them to start up on their own. Examples are Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Mail. There are others, too. I keep them on the Streak as backups (since I sometimes have problems connecting via IM+ or the regular e-mail app). Therefore I only want them to start up when I open them and stay closed after I have killed them. Is that possible?

I currently use Droid Wall to deny them data access when I don't want to use them but they still run in the background eating up memory and sucking the life out of my battery.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] brunswick000:
Dont know of anything other than a task killer. Can set the security to your desired level, and also to kill everything when the screen turns off, and also generate an ignore list which is essential for some apps like alarm clock....if you want to get up for work on time. They're a little controversial but I find a notable difference in battery life without it.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] HansTWN:
I have a task killer which I use manually. However, when I kill those apps they come right back up only seconds after that. Can't keep those buggers down. And with Auto Kill they are just constantly being killed again and again.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] tina333:
i used to use an app called "autostart(s)" which did the job really well plus it offers loads of options for apps starting at boot and permissions. titanium lets you freeze apps but you need to defrost them before using again.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] dvowel:
Can you explain this?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] HansTWN:
Thanks for the suggestion -- I am currently trying out Autostart Kill which seems to work reasonably well, except that some apps are not found by the program (an example is Amazon MP3) and Dell Sync comes up after connecting via USB even though I set it to disabled.

By Titanium I suppose you mean Titanium Backup, but I cannot find a "freeze" (or similar) option, at least not in the free version I am using
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] betono:
Click the app in the list - you will have there freeze option.

It is available in the paid version only
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] HansTWN:
Thanks for all the help, guys.

Finally located that Autostarts app in the market --- had to set market enabler to Verizon to find it. Trying it right now, and it seems to work pretty well.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] tina333:
I hope they're working for you?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] HansTWN:
Yes, but yesterday I had 3 mysterious auto reboots. Since I had just installed several apps I am not sure which one is the culprit. I have removed some of the others. Now I will have to see what happens today.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] 00roberto00:
i tried autostarts but when the streak goes standby (black screen) it wont come alive anymore and i have to pull the battery out to reboot.... uninstalled
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] HansTWN:
That is strange, works fine for me now. I am on the official 2.2 315 at the moment.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] 00roberto00:
ok, i am on the DJ-Steve 1.4.6
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
startup manager works for me on "official" 2.2
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] sytzz:
Thank you! Autostarts is what I want~
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jokersdad:
Try system tuner

System tuner has free version in market. Will perform many functions including "freeze" and then you can "boil" app when it is needed. Also can set which apps run (or don't) at startup.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ivantastic:
hey bro, u can use any autostart killer like autostarts (red car), or u can use autostart disabler inside romtoolbox ;)

it work 100% ;)
[Vibrant General] Wesie:
The vibrant ( ansd also the I9000 ) has an internal SD Card. This card is mounted as /sdcard; the external SD card is mounted under / sdcard/sd.

Now;some Application can configured, that they store the information on the external SdCard, but on this phone it is the internal.

Does someone has an idea, how to add a line into the fstab, so that the external Sdcard will be mounted also under /sd ? Pls keep in mind, the fstab is in the flash and can not easy overwritten with an editor...:(

Maybe it is possible to add somewhere ${HOME}/rc.d with a ln command, so that the /sdcard/sd is also responsable as /sd ?
[Droid Incredible General] ufvj217:
i used to have an AMOLED inc from the day it was released. it just broke, and it got replaced with a brand new SLCD. i rooted it, and itll restore my nandroid's from before, but when i reboot out of the recovery, itll just hang at my boot splash screen. if i install the same rom (cyan 6.1, miui 11.19) from fresh, itll boot into the rom.

any idea? no big deal as i have my apps backed up with TB, but id like to restore back to my rom so all my settings are back.

also- on miui 11.19, after a while i started getting reboots every like 30 seconds. not sure why.
[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
Trying to restore an AMOLED nandroid to a SLCD phone probably isn't going to work well due to the different hardware drivers. In short, you're trying to restore incompatible display software onto your phone.

That being said, restoring a nandroid from another phone is never a good idea unless your old phone has been destroyed or is still in your hands. Otherwise, there's a distinct probability that if the old phone is repared and sent out as a FRU, both devices would share the same android_id. As such, apps that you purchase could be involuntarily pushed the another user and vise versa.
[Droid Incredible General] ufvj217:
Gotcha. ill delete those backups and install MIUI fresh, and then back it up from my new phone.

its still safe to restore apps+data from titanium backup right? (not system data, just apps/appdata)
[Droid Incredible General] linuxmotion:
You need a kernel that supports slcd. Your nandroid will work, but the kernel needs to be change to use the slcd display. All the system stuff is the same.

Restore the nandroid then apply the appropriate kernel afterwards before rebooting. Your system should work again.

If your nandroid is stock HTC you'll need a stock kernel. For slcd of you are running an aosp rom you'll need an soap kernel.
[Droid Incredible General] ufvj217:
how do i know which kernels will work with SLCD? or does the dev specify that in the thread for each kernel?
[Droid Incredible General] linuxmotion:
Most times the devs will say. Most times... remember kernels are specific to the type of build, aosp or HTC.
[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
Restoring the nandroid will, however, introduce the aforementioned security hole.
[Droid Incredible General] linuxmotion:
Can you explain why. Or provide a link that can. Never heard of that security hole, but would like to know more about it because What your saying seems probable.
[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
Search is blocked from my LAN at work. However, if you search adrynalyne's posts, he was the one who discovered it. IIRC, he had posted the exact details over at androidforums.com. Essentially, he and a friend had restored a nandroid backup from one of their phones onto the other. From there, they noted that when one person installed an app using Appbrain's web installer, it was pushed to both phones.

ETA: found it...

[Vibrant General] Castle5665:
I have had the ultimate in crappy battery life since day one with my Vibrant. I have tried reconditioning, task killers, freezing apps, etc., etc. Very minimal gains and, in some cases, worse battery life. These things were draining just sitting on our pockets.

Here's where it gets weird. My wife also has a Samsung Vibrant and was getting the same horrible battery life. We were both charging dead Vibrants half way through the day. Granted, we are both moderate to heavy users but I expected more. A week ago, my wife was still sitting at 80% by lunch time while I was looking at 27%. Huh? I asked her what she did and she had no idea except that she had downloaded a battery monitoring app the day before. I thought it made no sense that this could have anything to do with it so I brushed it off. Over the next few days she was still getting killer battery life throughout the day.

So....I decided to give it a shot just to be sure it wasn't that app. Well, just before bedtime, my battery was it 7%. I downloaded the battery app, plugged in my Vibrant and hit the hay. By noon the next day I was still over 80% :eek: I have no idea why but I know it's working for both of us and it has to have something to do with this app.

I'm no programmer and I certainly have no vested interested in any android apps. We just stumbled on this and it works. Would anyone out there have a clue why?

I'm not sure if posting the name of the app breaks any xda rules so I'll wait.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Ever since i've been on JK2 Froyo my battery life has been excellent. But i'm interested in hearing which app you're talking about
[Vibrant General] mainevent3405:
I don't believe nothing is wrong with posting the name of an app. If it helps, then why not?
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
Yeah dude hook it up

Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
[Vibrant General] Castle5665:
I agree. I just didn't want to be seen as peddling a product here.

It's called BatteryTime. It's free although, I believe there is a pay version. I didn't adjust any settings. Just installed it, charged over night and I can't believe the difference nor understand why it made such a huge difference. I unplugged 4 hours ago and have 98%. Still a mystery to me but I'm not complaining. ;)
[Vibrant General] draikz:
There's like 4 of the same app on the market x)

What is the full name?

OH and thanks, I installed it, I'll report back with results.
[Vibrant General] Castle5665:
Just Looked again and you're right. There are 4 versions there. I'm currently using the "BatteryTime Lite" version.
[Vibrant General] Castle5665:
The only thing that I can think of to rationalize this huge difference is that the battery percentage was being reported incorrectly before. I may have had a charge that would last all day or longer but it was displaying an accelerated discharge rate which would kill my Vibrant prematurely. For one reason or another, this app appears to have corrected that and the indicator is (I hope) reporting the correct battery life now.

Does that make any sense?
[Vibrant General] bigragu:
Thanks for sharing. I will give it a try.
[Vibrant General] Castle5665:
Update:

I found this somewhat disappointing. I rebooted my phone for the first time in about a week and on boot up the indicator is displaying significant drain again. I was at 96% before boot and 56% after? I'm going to recharge to full again and see if I still enjoy the same battery life.

Now I'm really confused. Sent an email to developer.
