[Droid X Android Development] MisterBiggs:
It's strange that everyone is having issues with FC's on their X's! I downloaded it directly from DL, followed the instructions and there it was in all its glory upon reboot. I even have the LCD density mod at 200dpi. Maybe it has something to do with the language packs installed on custom roms?

Stuck at M logo

Followed the instructions in the first post and now I'm stuck at the mlogo.

I can boot into recovery, but it wont install the latest recovery.

I went through the steps and have no problems, keyboard is pretty awesome. They no doubt shrunk it's height a bit but I don't seem to be making any more errors then the moto keyboard so its win win.

GummyJAR has the gingerbread keyboard with bigger buttons and I think he might be making them a little bigger to match the MT keyboard.
[Droid X Android Development] fuzio1963:
+1 :( wonder why? how do iget rid of it then?

NVM, i used nandroid backup to restore my X....
[Droid X Android Development] RedBank:
my thoughts exactly...it useless to me due to the tiny keys alone...not too sure what all the hype is about.

i mean...it works fine on my X...but id much rather use SwiftKey anyday
[Droid X Android Development] GarethD:
I finally go it to work after much installing and re-installing

I am NOT impressed! Its a smaller version of the MT and isnt faster or more accurate. It may even be less accurate due to the smaller keys!
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Grab the one out of GummyJAR.... I have re-sized the keys for my ROM.
[Droid X Android Development] quic:
If someone could do that, it would be great. I have the newest version apk. The one for root and non-rooted phones that was on the homepage before. It doesn't overwrite the current keyboard either which is great. I can type much better/faster/accurately but if it was bigger by a little bit it would be even better!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KRolands:
So I have Google Maps 4.4.0 on my Desire and I think I actually dont know how to work with them. I know it might be the lamest question here ever but still GPS find my location (3G is on) I search for place I need to get with car, press Go and I get route but it just dont follow and dont show how far till destination. Start point stays at place where I started the rote. Should it work like that or I'm just doing something wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KRolands:
yea I found out that i cant use Google Maps I have to use Navigation to navigate to location I want to find, sorry ;)

The Story is:

today at work id like to flash a new Theme for my ROM so i decided to make a Nandroid Backup. Ive done this and then i rebootet my Phone without flashing the Theme (there is a Buildin Themeplugin @ MIUI ROM). My apps has not any more appeared at the home screen and i have the USB Brick! Without using OLD Methods or using a USB Cable! I dont know why this happen! But u can fix it!

Is there someone else who has this problem in the last time?

Any Ideas why this happen?

Any Problem u see with this?

[Epic 4G General] Zenoran:
So I'm thinking about makign the switch to sprint and getting the epic 4g but I'm wondering a few things... I always said I needed video out if I were to replace my Nexus and I'm kinda confused how it works on the Epic 4G.

What I want to do is have video/out out as regular RCA that I can plug into my car stereo for navigation on the dash... would the epic 4g have an output that would allow this? The only thing I've found is this DLNA stuff which really makes no mention for any hard-wire solutions

My 2nd thing is the tethering. I tethering at work to get my own private connection and have been doing this with my Nexus over USB (charges while it serves internet) the most effectively. The wifi thing is nice but not required because wifi usually drains the battery and usually doesn't yield the best broadband performance in my experiences. In any event, sprint charges for the extra ability to tether... but I'm wondering if custom ROMs will allow for at LEAST the USB tethering (built in to android) and hopefully the Wifi tethering as well.

Without reading tons of threads trying to identify the featuers of google vs this phone vs rom, I was hoping someone who has hands-on experience could comment on it. :)

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
BTthomas is currently working on a tvout for the epic on 2.2 but no luck has been made also he is waiting for the source so when ever the offical froyo source is here we will all find out to see if the drivers are in there. As of know there is no tv out working for 2.1 or any of the leaked 2.2 rom and we are all waiting for the source.

as for usb tethering there are many roms/kernals that support this as well as wireless tethering.
[Epic 4G General] Zenoran:
Sounds promising thanks for the reply... Is it true you can get videoout from the headphone jack? I read that somewhere but it was inconclusive. I figured there would just be an adapter or something but I'm not sure why they would mention the hardware support without the software functionality...
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
That is what is being worked on.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Like is said there is no working tv out period atm, im thinking we might only see one to micro usb to rca or micro to hdmi adapters working, as of now there is no working tv outs, hopefully we will have micro to rca and hdmi ability, or even the headphone jack however it is not know til froyo source is released.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Before Reporting Bugs/Errors/Problems/FCs/etc...

In order to help people sooner, and reduce the number of repeat reports, please observe the following before reporting a bug along the lines of "GPS is broken, HTC_IME mod FCs, it won't boot, it's slow, it's got poor battery, this breaks..."

1) Look in post 2 for any updates. Flash any with a version number, there's no need to flash optional ones unless you want to.

2) Search this thread for a keyword. eg. if gps isn't working, search thread for "GPS". If apps are missing from market, search "market". See if it is fixed, or already reported.

3) If there is no patch or fix, turn off the phone, remove your SD card, and boot the phone with no SD card. Does issue persist? If you need a memory card to test the bug, use a blank, freshly formatted spare, with just one partition.

4) If this cures the problem, you need to clear out your SD card. Back up your apps, and wipe apps2sd partition if you use it (Wipe EXT from recovery). See if problem is cured (with SD card inserted in phone). If it is, stop here, and enjoy the ROM.

5) If issue persists after removing SD, turn off phone, insert SD, boot to recovery, nandroid, wipe Data, cache, Dalvik cache. Reflash ROM and all patches. Turn off phone. Remove SD card. Boot.

6) If issue is solved, try with sd inserted now. Looks like you just needed a wipe. If not, please report the bug using the usual procedures. Mention you got to "step 6" with no resolution.

This will alleviate about 80% of bugs, I would estimate, allowing me to work on the remaining 20% not cured by this.

Issue with Market

------------------

Hi,

I did all the right steps but in my market there are a lot of apps missing....which I use to find before...

Any idea?

PS: I really did all the right steps (really)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olasz:
for instance...there is no chrome to phone...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
So you installed the 1.7.1 update, and cleared the market data via manage applications?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
1. Works fine for everyone I know of, bar 2 or 3 people here. Has anyone posted the output of the 2 commands I needed, to check the issue?

2. No issue with that here, AFAIK. Got warning as usual.

3. By design, won't fix. It's intended to be like that, as default behaviour. I could change it to 95% perhaps, but tbh it's not the biggest priority fix.

4. If you want to try FlyKernel 12, just flash it yourself. It should work fine, and you'll get the latest version that way. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:

stuck in a loop after mistake in dev tools

First I have to admit it, it is all my fault! The ROM is awesome! Being curious, I took a look in the dev tools app, and I ticked a box "running applications" and suddenly it began to restart fro; the VillainROM picture until the lock screen. I am now stuck in a loop... Is there a way I can go out of the loop without wiping all?

Thnak you and many thanks for this ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
does this rom version have a low battery warning?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geniy1982:
Wiped, flashed the ROM and put following settings: min 352, max 576, Ondemand with screen on, Conservative on screen off, no autosync, no background data flows, no extraneous widgets on home screen, BUT:

80% battery after 1 hour of playing music and 1 short phone call makes me wanna say "This ROM sucks ass", and roll back to FroydVillain 1.5.

Sorry if I've offended somebody, but I find such battery life unsatisfactory. Is there something more I can do to improve it, or it is "quitely hopeless"? Thanks for advice in advance.

Anyway, guys, you've done a great job, and I appreciate it. But I want my phone to work more than one day.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have been getting it as expected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Your apps2sd is installed, mate :)

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 10 07:49 app -> /system/sd/app

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 10 07:49 app-private -> /system/

that tells me your app and app-private folders are going to your SD :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ummm... Not sure what you're meaning. I can install chrome to phone from market if I want it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. Presuming the 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 updates are installed before doing wipe market data, what country are you in?

ie. are you in a country that gives full market access? I've got chrome to phone showing up fine here, so it seems to be a config issue
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Well... Out of interest, why are you using ondemand? I would suggest using smartass, or interactive. Also, 352 is quite high as a minimum speed... I always use 176, but I don't know if your device can support it.

Also, bear in mind if you did a full wipe that you lose your battery stats, so might need to re-calibrate it. if you have drainage issues, also try and see what app is using all the battery from the menu, settings, about, battery usage screen...

I've had the best battery life ever out this ROM, so I guess it's a kind of glitch...

Did you turn off google backup and restore?

Also, seriously, try this: set max speed to 345. I have found it's faster than I need at 345 MHz in normal mode at max, and it's coping with my immensely high usage (I tend to charge overnight, and for a bit at lunch time, to keep it going), without that mid-day charge.

Bear in mind that I absolutely hammer my phone for battery (screen on a lot of the time, constant internet use, regular texting, fair bit of calls etc, loads of typing on keyboard etc)... So I guess if I can get a day out it without trying, you should get way more than that out it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You'd need to do a logcat probably, so I can see what got it into the loop...

I would suggest staying out dev tools unless you know how to undo anything that might happen (I don't test the app at all, it's there in case people want/need it)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geniy1982:
Thanks for a prompt reply. I use Onedmand because I think that heavier modes may consume even more power. If I'm wrong, then will try Smartass with 345. I do not use 176 as minimum frequency due to the issue described in the thread on 1.5: sometimes it is impossible to wake the phone from standby mode. Looks like in 1.7.2 this problem has not been fixed.

As for apps, 45% of energy is consumed by the screen and 20% by MixZing, even after I killed the latter with Advenced AppKiller (maybe this is the problem).

Also, will try to re-calibrate the battery, but I don't think it will give any effect.

BTW, what is Google backup and how do I switch it on/off?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olasz:
Hi Pulser,

I am in Hungary..but I had chrome to phone prior to install this rom...

This just beats me...I cannot get my head around it why I cannot see it...

Its a free app....I clear the cache but still...

desperate...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. I would suggest smartass or interactive as they use less power.

The issue with 176 is a hardware issue, not one we can fix... Some individual handsets can go lower and higher than others...

To disable backup, go to:

menu, settings, privacy, then tick backup, then untick restore, then untick restore (the aim is to get both boxes unticked).

I don't like any task killer, so I'd suggest trying without it. I sat with a friend's SGS and watched the battery drain away to nothing in about 3 hours using that app :eek: Seemed to be causing more problems than it was worth.

So try uninstalling that taskiller, and perhaps give juicedefender a shot if you want...

Calibration might help a little, but there's a more serious issue here... Give that a shot, and let me know how it goes :)

Also, I presume you installed with full wipe? And do you have lots of apps installed? (many like to sit open in the background, and might keep opening, making the taskiller them, making them re-open etc...)

Failing that, there's some adb commands we can use to see how much time is spent in sleep state, as perhaps Mixzing isn't the most power efficient player app, or something else is stopping it sleeping?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK...

So let's check this out.

You are running 1.7.2, and have wiped the app data of chrome? If that is correct, I would suggest we do a full wipe of the ROM and a reflash.

I know it's not ideal, but if you can, do this:

- backup your apps using titanium/my backup pro

- nandroid backup

- wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, Sd-EXT (will remove all installed apps on apps2sd)

- flash 1.7.0 zip

- flash 1.7.1 zip

- flash 1.7.2 zip

- boot phone for first time

- try market and see if it works now.

If you can do that, it should work. If not, it's something outwith the ROM at fault :( Seems strange though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
thats cool...so i dont need droid essentials anymore....with the headphone and low battery notifications :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olasz:
Pulser,

I really appreciate the time and effort its really great..

I will do that , but have one question:

I was never able to use correctly titanium .

let me see if I understand:

I use titanium , but where do I put it if I wipe all app?

do I need to move the file titanium creates on my pc before wiping?

sorry for the dumbness
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Titanium backup will store your apps on the FAT partition of the SD card. That isn't wiped by this process. When you go to restore, it will find them on the sd card again :)

If you open the sd on the computer, you could back up the titanium folder (can't remember the name, but it's obvious, and begins "titanium" iirc).

There's no need to do that, as this won't wipe the main partition of the SD (only wipes apps2sd partition)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
well its taken me around 12 hours to get most everything sorted on this rom but now hit a small issue I can nolonger install any apps. They either hang whilst installing or the phone reboots. I have plenty of space left in ext2 and same with internal memory so am unsure as to what the problem is.. please advise...

I`m very satisfied with this ROM, even more, since i flashed GingerFroyo 1.8 :D. Great work TeamVillain :)

The question I have is pretty noobish but i don`t really get this app2sd thing. Do I need to format my sd card and make 2 partitions on it or this isn`t needed? So can anybody tell me what i have to do if i want to have apps installed on ssd?:confused:

Oh, and one more thing(which isn`t really on topic, sry). I love the gingerbread keyboard, but the lack of customisation is making me mad. Why isn`t there a function to get rid of annoying "smileys" button and option to replace it with [enter] button, for going in the new line(which, btw, I am not able to even find in the keyboard, but I desperatly need it)
