[XPERIA X8 General] AlexParx:
Upgraded to 2.1 and first impressions are rubbish!

Why get rid of the enable/disable Data from the dragdown bar. How do I do this on 2.1?

:mad:
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
Like this.

Go into settings > Wireless & network > Mobile Networks > Data Traffic.

After selecting / de-selecting that, the option will then appear in the drag-down bar.

The same way you'd do it on 1.6.

But that's not disabling 3G, that's just stopping apps from using your credit. To truly disable 3G, you'd have to change network mode to something like GSM, or 2G (I don't get that here in Australia, but I think it might be an option in other countries, I'm just guessing).

And... You'll learn to love 2.1 if you downgrade to 1.6 again, and find that your phone is performing horribly. :P

Or add the data widget to your home seen........
[XPERIA X8 General] Maze_fr:
I use "3G widget" : it works realy good.

You can start / stop 3G manualy or let it turn it automatically on / off when you light up / off the screen.

I don't know why but it put 2 icons in the apps... useless for a widget to even have one when there are no properties to change.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
First off if moderators think this is pointless please move or delete thread!

I've noticed in the many threads for all these android builds people asking about , why I can't install apps like angry birds or such, and many people have answered to unmount and mount after install, well it was brought to my attention today that some people think that because android is running off the sd card , if they unmount something bad will happen, well nothing will happen and it does what everybody says, it will let you install such apps.

Unmount sd card , install, and remount sd card

So here's a fix that ARTO found for anyone not being able to unmount sd card to install apps, thanks ARTO!

3. then if anything was done right you should see a "#" sign were your about to type the next line.

4.then type "mkdir /data/sd" make sure there is a space between the mkdir and the first /.

5.if everything worked right then nothing should happen except it moves to a fresh line in the emulator .

if you did everything right you should be able to go into settings and unmount your sdcard from there.

hope this helps some people i was going insane trying to figure this one out took me about a week to figure it out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harpss1ngh:
FYI, I've tried to unmount SD card from settings menu in every Android build I've tested but I still can't get this to work, I still get Application Not Installed...

And when I check the setting again, the unmount SD card setting that was previously greyed out is selectable again...so it doesn't unmount
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fmedrano1977:
My response to that is the same lazy ass people that can do a simple search to figure it out, are the same ones who dont read a damn thing on the first page of every thread and just download, then ask questions later to something that is answered in first page.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harpss1ngh:
Well MY response to that is perhaps you shouldn't ASSUME that just because I'm asking a question it automatically means that I don't read threads when in actual fact I DO and haven't come across a solution that WORKS.

Do YOU have a WORKING solution for this problem?

ARE you going to post a WORKING solution to this thread for this problem? No, I didn't think so.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
I don't know what build you're using but I've always been able to unmount sd.

I totally agree, and I posted this hoping for builders to add the info to their threads. I searched to see what I found in the matter , but only threads of builds come up, and some people are too lazy to search within a thread.

I don't know of any other working solution, since unmounting the sd card has worked and I've always been able to install angry birds and any other app.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
I have tried most of the android builds available. And never once had an issue with unmounting the storage card.

When you select unmount storage card there is nothing that should be greyed out. You should get a response about the card unmounting and it is ready for safe removal. (Although we can't really remove it) You should also see notification in your task bar. The setting then changes to Mount storage card.

So if you can't unmount your card then look to see what might be different with everyone else. Maybe try a different storage card. Also don't have your phone connected to your pc when trying to unmount.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Arto:
I have this problem too, I can't unmount the storage card, when I click on unmount, it appears to work but it revert back at the initial button "unmount sd card" and there are no notifications. I have no idea whats cause this. what I can say is that I use titanium backup pro for restoring my apps, maybe it has something to do with it...

edit : Found the fix !

PLEASE help me
[Wildfire General] Osskyw:
So I successfully rooted my WF with unrevoked.

I made a Backup with Nandroid.

I saved the ROM on my SD card and selected Wipe / Reset Factory Settings and Wipe cache (or so).

Then I selected my ROM (0001_WildPuzzleROM_v8.0.11) and it installed.

It showed my some kind of BIOS (?) and then got into an infinite picture of an Android. I'm saying infinite because the instructions linked in the WildPussel Release Post says its about 12 minutes and I didn't touch it for about half an hour.

So I took out the battery and used my Recovery image made with Nandroid.

I tried to flash standart 2.2 Froyo (0050_htc_froyo_2.2_orginal_kernel_v2) but I had the same results, an infinite screen of the HTC logo (about 25 mins).

What could be my mistake? I could make a video of me trying to do it.
[Wildfire General] wockawocka:
Did you do a full wipe before flashing new rom?

Also it may help to post in the right forum [ROM]WildPuzzleROM_2.2 Froyo v8.0.11
[Wildfire General] Osskyw:
Thats the weird part, flashing the ROM just seem not to work.
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
Either way, in your recovery console select wipe data. This will remove the existing stock Rom data which may cause boot looping. After wiping, flash the Rom again.
[Wildfire General] Osskyw:
That's what I did...

It tried it 3 times again today.

3rd time I just cleaned both, ROM and Cache twice each, seems like it worked.

I've been seeing alot of people make a big deal about quadrant scores that pass the 1000 mark...but not too long ago when 2.1 was around.. 2207 was my average score with all these lag fixes installed..

i know i must have missed a post about this.... but nowadays w/ voodoo... i'm lucky to get 1000.... what gives?
[Vibrant General] backslide311:
Do a search for the answer! people have gone over this countless times.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Lag fixes trick quadrant. It's not an accurate reflection of performance. Therefore over 1000 stock is an improvement from the 930 average score of previous stock builds.

Because that benchmark is bunk.

[HD2 General] jacumja:
I haven't but I will, right now I have the access I need oddly enough via macbook first try I just need to remember what folder I delete that removes the gmail adress and all the info. I'm copying them all over to my desktop and I guess I'll just delete them one by one.

If you wouldn't delete a file on your computer unless you were REALLY sure you knew what you were doing... DON"T DO IT ON YOUR PHONE! untill you're sure. Just a rule I live by...

[HD2 General] rsacipher:
You bought a phone that is modded and you call it a piece of crap. Do a hard reset and use the stock ROM if you don't want to mod it.

If you bought a computer that had the wrong OS would you call it a piece crap too? Don't blame the phone blame the mod that the person you bought it from.

Master of the Obvious

This is a problem I see often with people who want to do Technology savvy stuff without the disciplines and background in Technology whatever it is?:mad:

(At the very least make the Effort to know the Basics:confused:)

That is why Apple products exist for?:o I always hear Mac people insult Windows products! and its always for the same reason? "Severe Ignorance of Technology!:p"

That is why Grandmothers can use Macs!

"Distinctions without Differences is Master of the Obvious"

The only real advice I can give you is...

Stop Whining:eek: and "Man-Up" to the task at hand! Relax and use your brain for which it was intended for? "Reasoning" you are very fortunate to have found XDA, but "most" of the people here are for the advancement and self-Teaching of Technology! You are not going to find more Intelligent Tech Savvy people than on XDA!:)

Now for the Master of the Obvious things?

make sure that you have described the problem with enough detail for someone to help you! and hopefully you previously have taken the time and effort to do a "Search" on your problem! but if you are like many I see here and want everyone to hold your hand for something you are too slothy to do yourself? Then hope that someone here is Altruistic enough to help you? Remember you have spent more energy whining about the problem than....

Back up everything using either MS MyPhone or SPB Backup?

and then you can reinstall the HD2 with what you want on it?

Good Luck

[HD2 General] jacumja:
Wow hd2shadow, thank you so much for your useless input as well as the anonymous insults. Its really easy to make fun of someone or put them down when they're not in front of you. I'd probably do the same thing if I were you so no worries. I don't know you anymore than you know my but you seem like a real *****.

I am not a Mac fan boy nor am I putting anything down. I'm using a Mac because I'm in the middle of a move and do not have access to my Windows operated desktop. I build half a million dollar race cars for a living. I highly doubt I'm severely ignorant of technology as you put it.

So are you talking about on android? If you can get it to sync to your mac just access the file on the SD card "android" then remove data.img give your phone a nice little reboot and you can set android back up per your settings with no previous data.
[HD2 General] rsacipher:
Ok, so let me try to understand then. You bought a phone that was modded with a ROM that wasn't made for you're phone, you don't have the time or desire how to get it to work and you don't want to hard reset the phone and start from scratch?

Yeah I must have been talking out my a**

[HD2 General] jacumja:
Thank You to CyanPrinter for helping me getting this issue resolved. Also thank you z33dev33l your simple idea would have solved the issue as well. I unfortunately stopped reading before you posted it due to the two **** sticks that needed to turn the thread into an "Internet Pissing Contest". I appreciate the help from either of you. Thank god there are tech savy people our there that aren't complete douche bags every chance they get to people that are not.

Fyi. hd2shadow I find it hilarious that you had to run your **** sucker like you did yet you had not clue with your infinite experience how to fix the issue. Yet the people that took know issue with me did in less than one sentence. Maybe your just a pretender who's obviously got a self worth complex. Either way keep lurking and being confrontational to people for no reason on the internet. We all know what would happen if you ran your mouth like this face to face with someone. Which is exactly why you do it here.

For those who would like to have Nexus One boot animation for your G2 ROMs

Requirements:

Permanent root (S-OFF)

adb OR RootExplorer

Recommendations:

NanDroid backup – Part of Clockwork Recovery

Instructions:

Download the bootanimation.zip attached in this thread and save it to your adb tools folder

Use adb to push it to your phone (see commands below)

If you'd like to keep the original boot animation but want the Nexus boot animation as default, use these commands:

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb reboot

If you'd like to replace the current boot animation, use the commands below:

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot

Sorry, if this is repeated.

I take NO credit for this. This is all what I've found and learned from the forum. I thought I should share it with you guys. Enjoy!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] randalla0622:
Thank you for this. I had been wanting the N1 boot animation since moving to the G2 and here it is :) I installed it, and it worked fine. However, I did so in recovery via adb (had to do adb shell mount /data first though).

Probably will be doing it again once I have CM 6.1.0 installed.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ShimaMiku:
I have been trying to get this Nexus One boot animation on my NAM Desire Z (unlocked, WWE Desire Z rom, s-off) all night, but it doesn't seem to take. Tried flashing in clockwork, pushing with adb like this, using root explorer, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ShimaMiku:
Anyone have any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sandire:
You could try using boot animation changer lite from the market. Pretty easy to use and it backs up the stock animation if you want to revert.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ShimaMiku:
Awesome! Worked well, although the one they had for "Nexus One" has a weird lead into it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ShimaMiku:
Okay, I'm still trying to figure out how these worked. I took that boot animation by modifiying it (removing some of the pictures), renaming in order, and made sure the desc.txt was in the right format, then I write it back to /system/media. What am I missing here on how this works?

I've pushed the boot animation to these 3:

/data/local/bootanimation.zip

/system/media/bootanimation.zip

/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

I've attached the file I'm trying to write if you can see anything wrong it it. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ShimaMiku:
Nevermind about this. I finally found out how to fix it. I mounted the /system file in terminal emulator, then manually copied and pasted the bootanimation into those 3 places from my sd card. But do you know where I can find the boot sound?

Got it. It's all in the /system/customize/resource folder. The audio is "android_audio.mp3"
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ShimaMiku:
Last question, and I can put this to rest, so hopefully someone can answer it. What is the deal with the desc.txt file? I tried editing using both notepad (which I heard corrupts it) and wordpad, but it screws everything up. Here is the current settings:

512 256 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

And I'm trying to get it to be only 20 fps as so:

512 256 20

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

Is there a reason it won't work when I do that?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ShimaMiku:
Does anyone know? I can't seem to find anywhere that explains it well enough, and I'd like to be able to develop some different boot animations.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ShimaMiku:
Well, since nobody seems to help, I kept looking and looking and hopefully I can help someone who is just as confused.

It was not the editing of the desc.txt file that caused the problem. It is when you zip the files, do not zip it with any compression. Simply zip it as a "store" option, and you should be fine if everything else is all set.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Tommebaas:
Thanks i love the boot animation!
