[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
To give a general answer to the OP:

1) CM 6.1 is based on Froyo. There is no 6.4. :)

2) What Cyanogen and his team do is take the current available source code and redesign it to make it better. This means that the stock (shipping) ROM is not using its full capacity for speed, stability, and functionality, so CM pushes that envelope.

3) CM 6.1 will never be a Gingerbread ROM, but it is almost certain that CM X.X (probably CM 7) will be Gingerbread based, and point #2 will apply to that as well.

4) We'll see a CM 7 shortly after the Gingerbread source code (not the SDK, which is already available) is made public.

5) There will also be other Gingerbread-based ROMs available when the source code is leaked, which may have already happened, or will happen within the next few days. CM, as far as I know, does not use leaked source codes, but waits until it is officially released.

6) All of the above is based on my observations, and I have no inside knowledge, so it could be partially, or fully, false.

I just installed Fission 2.2 for my Rooted Droid X. Something I don't like at all is that I don't have the Droid X multitouch keyboard, i have the stock Droid 1 Keyboard, and no swype. I tried installing swype and it doesn't work, it keeps force closing on me. Are there any swype or Droid X Keyboard apk's out there that will actually work for a rooted Droid X?

Thank you.
[Droid X General] forever29:
Yeah. I'm on Rubix and was missing the multi-touch keyboard. This one will work.

Before you push the files to the right location, make sure you delete the LatinIME.apk that

already exists in the system/app folder before you push the new file in there. You'll see

the files I'm talking about in the OP of the thread. If you don't delete it, you're going to

get nothing but FC's because they conflict with each other.
[Nook Color General] Ben74:
something interesting happened to my NC last night. i was messing around with system apks, trying to get better access to the system settings. i copied Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk from the 2.1 emulator to /system/app the NC. they didn't work, so i replaced Settings.apk with the original, but forgot to replace SettingsProvider.apk. bonehead mistake. anyway, upon rebooting, the device was stuck in a bootloop. it would get to the white "Nook Color, by Barnes and Noble" boot animation, and just loop over and over. i tried the factory reset twice, but as i expected, it didn't help.

i decided to give up for the night, and left the NC plugged into AC power, bootlooping over and over, just to see if anything would happen. after about 30 minutes, i tried to shut it down by holding the power button. the screen went off, and i set it down. when i looked back a few seconds later, the NC was booting again. this time, it came to the screen shown in the attached photo. on the screen, it says "A new software update is being installed. This will take a few minutes." :eek:

the process finished, and the device booted up into a fresh, clean, non-rooted 1.0.0 installation! a real software update wasn't installed. it seems the device decided to reflash the original ROM on itself. can it be that the NC is smart enough to know when something is catastrophically wrong, and flash back to stock? either way, i'm happy to have my NC back in business :)
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
pokey and I were talking about this in another thread (though he's better at dissecting this stuff than I am). There's a counter for unsuccessful boot attempts, and after 8 it apparently flashes "factory.zip" from partition 3, which is a full clean factory dump.
[Nook Color General] tokyomonster:
This actually happened to me, sort of, two nights ago. I was messing around with system settings, but didn't change anything too important...or so I thought.

Shortly after, I was using my Nook, as it was working normally, and the initial setup screen popped up, said something about being unable to authorize my account, and then went ahead and factory reset itself,forcing me to have to re-root. Pretty annoying, and it was odd, since my Nook seemed to be working fine.
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
It may be worthwhile to make a modified factory.zip so devices wouldn't lose root, no?

I haven't yet encountered this problem, but it would suck to have to reformat my microSD card if this should happen.
[Nook Color General] califrag:
Mine did this exact same thing too. I messed with the settings apks and then when I went back to the B&N home screen an error about not being able to authorize and the device needed to be reset. then it rebooted and performed a reinstall of 1.0.0
[Nook Color General] Ben74:
well there you have it. a nice feature, for the reckless :)

any idea where the counter is kept?

might there be some way to put factory.zip on the SD card, and force a flash? this would just be a parachute in case something gets too messed up for the failed boot counter to work.
[Nook Color General] Withfeeling:
This can be done manually too. Look on nookdevs.com for NookColor_UnRooting
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
That isn't the same thing. It only fixes a few things (like Ramdisk, obviously), while this thread is referring to a complete clean /system.
[Nook Color General] Ben74:
actually, in a quiet, unassuming box at the bottom of the nookdevs unrooting page, it does describe a method to flash back to stock. apparently you hold volume down (minus) while powering on. it's easy to miss. i'll break that bit of information out into it's own page.

[Nook Color General] blacter:
Given this possibility, is there a way to backup a rooted NC so it would be easier to rebuild after an inadvertant flash.
[Nook Color General] Withfeeling:
Some of us noticed that "quiet, unassuming box".;)
[Nook Color General] Withfeeling:
This, built-in, mechanism seems like a pretty bullet-proof protection against bricking your Nook Color. The Nook Classic has a similar mechanism. I think it's a great idea and I wish all these new tablets had such a capability.
[Nook Color General] azradiohead:
I'm loving the Nook Color but other things require the money right now so it's going back, for now.

I just did the Home+Power key combination and it did a reset. I re-registered the device to make sure Angry Bird and a few other things were gone and they are. I got a notice at the bottom of the home screen saying something about a software update and it just said I was currently on 1.0.0, I clicked it and it went away. But, in Settings and Device Info there is a Erase & Deregister Device option. When I click the option it says the following "This will remove all digital books and files, including side-loaded content, from this device. The titles you have purchased will remain in your B&N account." I find this interesting since it specifically mentions "side-loaded content" and I'm wondering if this also triggers the 'factory.zip' file and as a complete factory hard reset of files and all. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else so I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Is mounted, and everythink i whant to do works exept root for adb.

I like to try out the Android Commander, but it wont get root.

Superuser App asked me and I gave it the root permission but i have checkt out that i have no root for adb. I dont undersant why. Dont noticed it till yet cause did everything with Terminal Emu on my desire, su - remound ops ... everything works. As i understand 'adb root' should restard adb with root permision so you can use the privileged adb commands and that seams to be necesary for android commander to do his job.

Any Ideas why it dont work?

I am having an issue with using PowerAmp and CarHome. For some reason PowerAmp doesn't come up as an option to launch from the Music button, I am assuming this has something to do with CarHome because it comes up for other options such as navigating manually to a file in Astro.

I have searched everywhere here, google, and the poweramp forums and cannot find anyone else with this issue.

Yes I have cleared defaults in CarHome so the option comes to set default. I installed DoubleTwist and Winamp to test this and they both show up in the list but for some reason PowerAmp still doesn't.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z4d3:
Samsung Captivate

I have done many searches and have been working on this for 3 days.

I am having trouble with a brick after an attempt to VooDoo flash.

To start:

I attempted to install the Voodoo.

The process went real fast and there was no voice talking to me like the instructions said there would be.

After it rebooted the phone would only get to the AT&T screen.

So one time I got it into Download Mode with the button and plug combo.

Used Odin(One Click) to flash it said all was good 1succeed/0 failed

the phone still would not reboot past the AT&T screen

tried for 2 days to get it to go back to Download mode with no luck

I built a jig and finally got it to go in to download mode

ran Odin 1 click again, and again it said all was successful, however it would not reboot past the AT&T screen

Now and this is where my searching has yielded no results:

Now when I use the jig the phone starts to boot but as in the past gets to the AT&T screen and keeps flashing

The jig will no longer put it into Download mode

Is there anything I can do ?

I literally just got this phone

please help

Thank You
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal einstein:
Does your JIG have exposed wire/leads? If your skin is touching the resistor or pins 4&5 on the JIG, you are going to reduce the resistance to somewhere in the 200's, and you won't be able to get into Download Mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z4d3:
Are you saying that the possible reduction in resistance is causing the phone to turn on? I was under the impression that with a reduction in resistance there would be no results, not alternate results.

To answer your question, Yes there are exposed leads, No I am not touching any of the metal parts,. I have tested the jig several times and and am getting the proper resistance rating(I did have to add 4 1k resistors).

So check your kies to see if it is out now, otherwise it'll be on the 10th

So if any1 is on stock 2.1 Bell, try odin and let us know.

One pretty poor thing about Bing Maps.

I was in London for only the second time today, interview. I had no idea where I was going and had to rely on Bing Maps to get me there. Unfortunately there's no arrow to show which direction you're moving in.

This is pretty bad, or maybe I just got used to it in Google Maps. About 3 times I had to turn around because I was heading in the wrong direction and that wasn't very clear at first.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amb9800:
He's not referring to the lack of turn-by-turn directions, but rather the fact that Bing Maps does not make use of the phones' compass to show the direction you're moving in. Google Maps on other platforms shows a little arrow on the location dot, which is often very useful. It's a separate, valid point.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
i would say it's still tied all together. they're updates that only MS can do for Bing Maps. But even so, no real need to start up a different thread just for it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amb9800:
It's tied together only in that it relates to the Bing Maps application. Otherwise it's a separate issue-- in fact showing a compass pointer is arguably most important when you don't have directions entered and are just trying to find a place on the map.

This would fit best in a feature request thread for Bing Maps, which I have not come across yet.

@brummiesteven: might be worth posting this to the official forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7/threads ), as MS is more likely to see it there.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
Windows Phones have a built-in compass, but MS hadn't completed the compass API when they released the OS. I have every confidence that API will make it into the January OS update, and that Bing Maps will utilize it at that time. Third Party apps devs will update their navigation apps to include the new functionality too.

Just wait one more month.

I've formatted my 2GB SD card and placed the 3.14.1 rom on it named as LEOIMG.nbh in the root directory. I tried to enter the boot loader and it went from the Tri-color screen to the "loading" grey screen with some red numbers above it and then went back ot the tri-color screen where the bottom white part said "Serial" and then the phone got stuck.
