[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setzer715:
There are people experiencing the same thing in the Nexus forum. Personally I would stay away from anything that is not specifically built for this phone as its a completely different OS than Vanilla or Moto Droid or etc. etc.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
yes I a sure am. I trusted the Dorid-Life site and should not have. Thanks for the swift response...:)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
I sure intend to and I should have got on this forum before I even attempted to flash it. Right now everything seems fine except I cannot get into recovery only clockworkimode recovery. I am holding down the volume down button and pressing the power button at the same time and the device just reboots. Any ideas and what could be causing that? I am embarassed to say that my ignorance that pushed me to flash that zip is probably at the root of it.:o Any steps that I can take to enable me to get into stock recovery to check and make sure S=off?

Edit: Just pulled battery and sim card and than put them back in and the device went into stock recovery and s=off so I hope that all is okay and I did not create some ghosts that will show up when I attempt to flash a rom later on.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiian.monzta:
I did the same thing. I flashed the .zip file from droid life forum and got a success message when I installed it through recovery and mine never bootlooped. I didn't get the gingerbread keyboard but it didn't bootloop either
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setzer715:
I think you mean bootloader? You only have 1 recovery. If you flashed clockwork you no longer have stock recovery. Vol Down + Pwr gets you to bootloader or SPL where it shows S=off.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
I did not flash the zip (sounds like an overkill to flash a zip for new KB). I ADB pushed both files and got a FC on multi-touch KB... oh well, I like HTC_IME better anyway :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fh47qu:
make sure fastboot is checked off otherwise you cant get into the bootloader. to make sure it is off go to: menu, settings, applications and uncheck fastboot. you're good to go then. to get into recovery, you can do it thru bootloader or by opening up rom manager and clicking on the "reboot to recovery" option
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fh47qu:
the website was not specific enough. the port at the current moment is for motorola droid devices. they should have been more specific instead of saying any rooted 2.2 android phone. even if you do get it on your phone, its only going to force close every time you try and type something. thats what happened to me, so after about 24 hours i said **** it and removed it. swype in my opinion is better anyway. im trying to port the g2 swype to our phone so we can have a swype with a mic on the keyboard. oddly, ours didnt come with one.

Anybody got google earrh to Run?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] califrag:
Ive seen a video of it running on the nC but I can't seem to find an APK that will work. :(
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] junioryank:
This is the apk that I was able to use. It's for Earth 1.0, but it's working at least.

Here's what I did to get it to work:

-Have Superuser and Astro installed on the NC.

-Have a microSD card (regular, not the nooter) loaded into the NC.

-Copy the apk into the SD card.

-Install googleEarth through Astro.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] califrag:
Wierd.. this installed without any issues but when I run it it says error writing to Data directory might be full.. still got a ton of space both internal and on sd card
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnopsec:
Just installed and it works fine for me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sudermatt:
I am getting this as well...I have 4gigs on the device and 14gigs on my sdcard....weird
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] devis:
It works for me... i',m looking at my house right now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Xhorder:
I also get the 'unable to write to data dir' error... I wonder what the problem is.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
Sweet! finally got GEarth loaded..

Sent from my Nook In Living Color
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pfalden:
Google Earth

I don't know why this worked, but it did. I was getting the same error message when I attempted to install this from my Sd via Astro. I left it on my SD and backed out and then installed it again on my internal, and Voila... Earth!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] califrag:
Okay so I'm with the rest of you guys I don't know what happened.. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it and now it works..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sudermatt:

ditto
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Xhorder:
uninstalling and reinstalling is the key... thanks!

Is it definite that 1.1 doesn't work?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Interesting, I tried loading the latest version from the Market and it just sits on the splash screen. There are menus, prefs etc, but nothing more than the splash screen.

Just tried to reinstall it, same.. Maybe I'll install the version here, although honestly I never saw much use in Google Earth on the phone, even though I use it a lot on the computer.

Ha, and I think farking with Google Earth rebooted the Nook, I didn't notice when it happened but my Uptime Widget showed 7 minutes uptime after I uninstalled it trying the above..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kafike:
I installed from Market and got the splash screen. Res was a lot smaller than the actual NC screen. filled about 2/3 to 3/4 of the screen. Anytime I tried to run it though it froze and wanted to FC. Just wanted to try it...no real use for it though so didn't try again after uninstall.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] digitalicecream:
Hey that's cool it worked! We'll see if the update in the market breaks it... brb.

Odd, I couldnt even find it in the Market to update. But it works, I'm happy.

Also, Google skymap runs, and sort of works, it can tell pitch and roll, but its a hardware limitation (check it out for yourself)...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] swapdotavi:
So we HAVE to load this via astro? Cant just use adb to load the apk?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xboxexpert:
This Google Earth apk works just fine on my 1.0.1 Nook
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KryptoNyte39:
The apk above this post worked fine for me. Is there supposed to be 3D structures in Google Earth, or is that asking too much for this device?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AZBrauMeister:
Thx xboxexpert! I downloaded the apk file to my SD card, and used ASTRO to install it. Easy as pie. I'm still new to working with Android, so any little triumph builds confidence. Thanks for the help on this issue and the many, many, MANY others you have helped us on!

PS Lovin' my NookColor. It's amazing what this thing is capable of once it's rooted.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DefTaker:
Thanks for the apk - GE now works. :) The one from the Market just sat the splash screen and wouldn't continue to load. I uninstalled it and then installed the NEW market <-- which can't seem to find the GE app??? But whatever, the apk you posted is working just fine! :cool::D;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] h2osun:
Google Earth Working great

Tried downloading GE from market...no joy. Then tried sending GE from Market to NC. WORKS! It helped that I had modified build.prop to show my NC as a Nexus S.

Works beautifully. And faster than on my HD2. (Of course no compass, but that's life.)

so i was trying to root my friends evo the other day and did it successfully. he also wanted cyanogen mod on his phone so i tried to do that as well, however the phone just would not boot into cyanogen. i would get the white htc evo 4g screen for forever. i have already rooted my phone and loaded other roms on there and im wondering what i might be forgetting? his phone is completely rooted so im not sure what the problem is. little bit new to this so any help would be much much appeciated.

thanks!!

Before flashing any roms you should always wipe data, dalvik and system caches. That usually is the problem for roms that don't install correctly.

thank you, yeah i forgot about wiping cache lol.
[Droid Incredible General] garywojdan81:
Has anyone tried to root using the z4 root app? Will it work?
[Droid Incredible General] sdsmithinc:
Yea, I used a method listed here @ XDA to get S-Off and rooted when I had the Nov. Update before unrevoke's revisions. It used zroot to enable the process.
[Droid Incredible General] Smokeey:
My friend (idiot couldnt wait for me to do it correctly) rooted his Droid X using Z4. Shortly after he discovered his Droid X wouldn't boot. Soft bricked Droid. Said friend orders another Droid X (warrenty) and still couldn't wait (till AFTER SCHOOL A MATTER OF HOURS!) to root and Z4'ed again. Another soft brick. He's on his 3rd Droid X, unrooted. I've refused to do so for him.
[Droid Incredible General] kzoodroid:
z4root by itself will not permanently root an incredible, it will give you temporary root till the next time you reboot. this information is available in the z4root thread. you might want to try posting this in the droid x forum if you want to know about z4root and a droid x .
[Droid Incredible General] garywojdan81:
Its the Inc that I'm concerned with, my wife's phone to be exact. I have the fascinate & I've rooted, de-binged & de- bloated and want to root her phone for wifi tethering. I used a 1-click root app on my Eris that worked well & was just wondering if something similar would work on this one.
[Droid Incredible General] kzoodroid:
The best way to get root on the Inc is to use Unrevoked 3.22. There is no one-click method like the Eris to gain permanent root. You will need to get adb (android-sdk) setup on your pc as well as get the correct usb drivers setup for this to work. The instructions are on Unrevoked's website.

While z4root is technically a one-click method it will only give you a temporary root that is lost every time the phone reboots and you have to re-root it. It can be useful if all you want to do is remove some of the crapware and thats it. I did use it to do just that with Titanium Backup Pro but had to re-root my phone about 16 times, re-install busy box each time and it became rather tedious and took a couple hours. Also I wouldn't recommend using it if your going to install a custom ROM or want to do other modding to the phone.

Edit: z4root does not put a custom recovery on the phone and you wouldn't be able to use it anyways if you did as root would be lost as soon as you tried to reboot into recovery. So you couldn't even install a custom ROM with it if you wanted to.
[Droid Incredible General] Timcredible:
Revoked works. Instructions here. http://jonsuh.com/2010/11/root-your-droid-incredible-how-to/ if using windows, have fun downloading ext2 drivers, if using Linux/MAC, its very easy
[Droid Incredible General] Timcredible:
Didn't even give temp root on my slcd.
[Droid Incredible General] kzoodroid:
I have an SCLD and it worked for me. But I do believe it actually failed the first time I tried it but after a reboot it worked. I think on the z4root thread it mentions rebooting first before using it.
[Droid Incredible General] garywojdan81:
Okay thanks for the info. My wife's is a slcd I believe so I think I'm going to try it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enesutd:
if i change my htc hd2 from windows to android will it be locked for network because before i used my htc he was locked for other network..

and actually whats better windows or android..?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsunguy:
Well yore first question is a yes if it was looked before it will stay locked if it was unlocked it will become unlocked. To me android is a lot better faster and fun. Everything works and there's almost no errors unlike winmo errors but it's my opinion.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
first of all your not changing your phone to android, it runs from your sd card, windows is always there when you reboot the phone.

one isn't necessarily better than the other, its personal preference.

I prefer windows.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamond_dawg:
Unlock is something that remains fixed on your phone, so if its unlock, run it on WM or Android, it will remain Unlock, as i think unlock is something belonging to the hardware(not really sure)

[TG01 General] Kilihari:
Hello friends, :D

I have a big question for ya. :rolleyes: I think Novembre5 may have tried this, I have searched all over this forum but I cannot find the answer. I am going to convert the Japanese T01a Docomo ROM to .tsw, then I am going to use Cedesmith's tool again and change the radio of the UK ROM to Docomo's radio. Then I am going to flash it. :eek:

I do understand that after I do this, I will not be able to change the radio again :(, however, it doesn't matter to me. What does matter is if my phone will start acting properly. I recently changed the radio to the German O2 5001.0102.76 radio and it is acting much better, less reboots after the splash screen, however, it still happens. I have searched all over all of XDA-Developers and have come to the conclusion that the radio must be the problem as many, many people state the same problem as I am having, freezing after the Windows splash screen on boot after changing the radio. Basically I am convinced that Japan does something special with the radio and the TG01 to make it fully completely compatible with the Japanese carriers. I also think that little errors like SD Card having issues with loading icons continue to occur on my phone because I have the wrong radio. I know it is a long shot with the SD card thing, but I truly believe it to be the case.

Anyways, I understand that I cannot change the radio once I flash it with the Docomo radio, what I don't fully understand is... :confused:

1. Does the Japanese radio SIM lock your phone? Or does it just radio-lock your phone?

2. I am with the Japanese provider Softbank, so if I use the Docomo radio will I not be able to use a Softbank SIM anymore?

3. If it SIM locks my phone, I already know the SIM unlock code, do I just put it in again and then it is unlocked?

4. Does anyone know if there is a Japanese Softbank X02T (TG01, T01a) ROM available, I mean, obviously, I am with Softbank, this would be the more correct path to go down?

HELP ME, お願い致します(that means thank-you and please all in one in Japanese-o language, super polite!, ehheeh, I am studying Kanji now)!!! :D

-Kiliconfuzed.
[TG01 General] Kilihari:
Email from Novembre5!

This is from an email Novembre5 just sent me, well, I guess we have the answer. Ok, I will just keep on flashing until I get the radio right.

What about the other way around, what if I flash a Japanese Softbank X01T (TG01) into English, now I live in Japan, so I don't mind if the radio stays the same... I also don't need it unlocked because my provider is Softbank, is that possible?

is there anyway i can get the Nexus S Live Wallpaper for the mytouch?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
correct me if i am wrong but i dont think the nexus rom has been leaked and even it has, the live wallpapers are the standard stock android live wallpapers that come with gingerbread
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pack:
it has a different "nexus" wall paper... the moving dots are more or less the same but the actual background is more of a flat color scheme than the grid... youll see it floating around soon enough, roms are being developed off the released source not the actual phone so that why noone has the real one as of yet...

Get NexusKang by @kmobs in the Android Market, it allows full customization of the original Nexus Neural Network and you can make it look just like the one on the Nexus S.

In the Livewallpaper.apk you can just replace the Pyramid_backroud.png with another 960X800 png in the drawable folder with a pic of your choice.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ddpacino:
Hey, where'd you get the wallpaper from?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hugabu:
There are actually several ways to rip the live wallpaper. Find the theme, unzip it, locate the .apk, extract it, then activate it on ur phone. OR use root explorer to push it to the system/app. OR adb push it.

To get the docks, go to this site:

ww.droid-life.com/2010/12/08/download-gingerbread-icons-for-launcherpro

OR

launcherpro.droidicon.com/docks/gingerbread-dock-1706

For the second one, use a blank pic for each shortcut in launcher pro.

Since most guys are on 2.2, u could just d/l madaco's launcher from the market, but u still need to extract the live wallpaper (it doesn't come with madaco's launcher).

Do change the menus, u'll need to port it from a separate, custom theme. No easy way unfotunately.

Have fun :)
