I would like to know how to flash the stock kernel before I flash he 2.2 update.

My computer cannot recognize my phone, so I cannot use odin.

Are there any other methods to flash the stock kernel?

[Epic 4G General] digijuan:
where does it say how to flash back to stock kernel? I'm already on stock rom
[Epic 4G General] keeepinitgansta:
Sorry, I guess that wasn't the right link. I dont think you can flash the stock kernel via clockwork. What issues are you having with odin?
[Epic 4G General] digijuan:
None I cant use it because my comeputer wont recognize my phone through usb.

I just want to use stock kernel before updated to 2.2
[Epic 4G General] NYYFan325:
Just flash the stock ROM in clockwork, it includes the kernel
[Epic 4G General] digijuan:
the link by DRockstar or the first post??
[Epic 4G General] digijuan:
can you use a different kernel installed when updating to 2.2
[Epic 4G General] keeepinitgansta:
I dont see why not since the kernel is going to be overwritten by the new update anyways
[Epic 4G General] digijuan:
Thanks.

How do I get my motorola droid as fast as possible my long bench mark is at 650 and my short is at 251... rooted.

[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
I used the oclf app to root my phone and install oclf... does this form of root give me nand permissions?
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
by nand permissions im assuming you mean superuser...and yes root gives you superuser.

fwiw oclf is a mostly placebo lagfix that does nothing but give giant quadrant scores...ditch it
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
no. from what I gather there are 2 kinds of roots. the first being the one that gives superuser. now I'm hearing of a deeper root that opens up more possibilities. and about oclf, I thought it replaces the file system with a better one. what would you suggest? I would try voodoo, however I don't believe its out for this phone yet.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
i think you are thinking of htc phones that have root and then unrevoked which will give you permanent nand unlock.

our phone isnt like that

the filesystem you are referring to is rfs and oclf changes the system to ext2

voodoo changes it to ext4 which is more effective and has been out in some form or another for over a month and a half
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
where would I find it and directions how to install? on the project voodoo site I believe it states its not ported for fascinate yet. and thank you for your help understanding.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
you can go one subforum over to fascinate development and read dozens of articles on voodoo...or scroll down like 1 or two here and read through

not sure if anyone else is having this issue..but after i updated to the ota 2.2 froyo, i noticed all my contacts used their old photos instead of the ones synced with facebook.... so does that mean i have to automatically go through each contact and click default picture to facebook???

i already deleted my fb accounts and redid it many times..restarted phone..same issue...fb wont auto sync the new photos as default, so i have to go through my contacts manually to use the updated fb pics...
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
That's odd. I'm not sure but I think the Facebook app's syncing is goofy.

For instance here's the hoops I had to jump through.

With original 2.1, I had used the integrated Facebook contact syncing to get pics synced to my contacts. And that worked no problem.

When DK28 came out, I took the opportunity to reset my phone and redo my contacts. This time I figured "hey, the actual Facebook app contact syncing should work good so I'll use that instead". And on the surface it did. In my contacts list the proper Facebook pic was on each contact. The problem was that any txts or phone calls I either sent or received, the photos were absent...just the generic blank silhouette. So I removed the Facebook contact sync from my accounts and went back to using the the Facebook syncing from the "Integrated contact accounts" once more and now photos are displaying in txt/phone properly.

Odd that the Facebook client syncing appeared on the surface to be fine but maybe this will help you or others trying to get this to work. In your case maybe the old pics still there show up with the Facebook client sync. Hopefully the integrated Facebook sync will clear it up for you.
[Epic 4G General] alfiej:
Search the forums for this problem. It has been answered. I just am too lazy to find the post for ya.
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
I have a different problem with the FB app since upgrading to DK28, but I wasn't sure if it deserved its own thread.

I can no longer stay logged in to my account. It works the first time and then every subsequent time I open the app I have to re-enter my password.

Anyone else?
[Epic 4G General] lawsofpower48:
i tried..it didnt solve the problem..... like i mentioned i redid the facebook accounts and restarted phone etc...didnt work....

i think its from the exporting my contacts to sd card.... it saves the current picture before exporting..so perhaps i exported my contacts several times and it saved the same default picture under the phone settings... so when i integrated my facebook in 2.2, the old photos were showing..so i had to manually erase all of the old saved photos.... i couldnt find a way to automatically do it... if you still can find the posts/threads, please post it here
[Epic 4G General] lrosado:
Is it me or are the contact photos synced from facebook (integrated Facebook sync or through Facebook app) are low resolution? Anyway we can fix this or is this just another issue with Google?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaywalkerx:
Hi,

is there any third party app which is able to do this?

(Copy Function)

i never saw a non sense based rom with this or a similar function.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
Not as good on many levels but close. It's called CopyPaste It.

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

- Sent via HTC Desire -
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaywalkerx:
CopyPaste IT works like OCR software - that's not the same. You can't mark text as precise as with the sense function.

it's so difficult to mark text in other roms with the simple "mark" option...
[Nook Color Android Development] whgarner:
has anyone else found this screen and what to do with it, other than the obvious usb tabs. i having trouble with screen shot but if you tap the left bottom corner of the screen, the notifications window will come up, as you push in the usb cable to charge, this will expand and give you the standard usb notfication. if you press this notification, a settings screen will appear, evev after removal of usb cable.

hopefully screen shots will appear.
[Nook Color Android Development] bobdude5:
Wow I had no idea lol
[Nook Color Android Development] godsfilth:
Ok so if you install anycut you can make a direct link to the development settings so no need to play with a usb cable.

That token setting looks interesting but it just closes to home ill have to play with logcat later
[Nook Color Android Development] devis:
anycut gives a lot of very interesting options... but though I made shortcuts I can't see them in any of my launchers. I have Launcher Pro, the Nook standard one and Zeam. No default... i rather like the options.

But some of the options given by Anycut are keyboard settings and CDMA/GPRS/Network settings.
[Nook Color Android Development] ixampl:
Wow, has anyone tried that on a non-rooted nook?

That's the main difference to Anycut... of course we can get to these settings once we have rooted. But if this screen can be accessed via a standard nook, that hasn't been "nootered", we can just enable adb there. Whether adb then has root access (as with nooter) I don't know, but still it's a new and easier angle at getting access to the device.

I got it to show up this way:

(0. no USB connected)

1. press the left bottom corner ... this will show you the original android notification bar as popup

2. connect USB cable (to PC and device)

3. you usually can't do anything because of the USB-Mode popup, but since the notification bar has focus we can touch the icon that now appears there.

-> remove cable and you are on the screen shown in OP's post.
[Nook Color Android Development] saracles:
I just tried this on my un-rooted nook, and wasn't able to get the screen to appear.
[Nook Color Android Development] tokyomonster:
The USB dialog he's referring to should only appear if you're rooted and ADB is enabled.

This potentially means, however, that the rest of the settings aren't actually removed from the nook, just hidden, and that there should be a way to access them somehow.
[Nook Color Android Development] jerrygon:
Ohhhh that would be nice..
[Nook Color Android Development] obra:
Several options will be more functional if you harvest the "extra" apps installed on the nookcolor emulator that ships as part of the SDK.

Also, if you're curious about how to toggle this setting without the UI,

have a look at /data/property/persist.service.mount.umsauto
[Nook Color Android Development] BertoJG:
How do you actually get the card to mount in the future if you disable auto mounting of it?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heyyitssteveo:
I had Perception Build 4 on my Captivate and for some reason my laptop would not recognize it when plugged into an USB cord. I tried all the fixes for it that I've seen around the internet. Did a days worth of searching and nothing. I figured some programming must have messed up inside my Captivate, and caused the phone to not be recognized. I would get "Unknown Device" in my device manager.

So, I installed Perception 7 onto my sd card. I chose to install the .zip file and when I rebooted my phone I got a voice saying "Convert System Partition: System Unavailable" with DesignGears logo on my screen.

Phone straight up won't turn on, and I can only get into recovery mode & won't connect via USB.

What do I do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
A. you didnt go back to stock or disable the lagfix in between flashes....bad

B. you need to get into download mode and use the ODIN one click to go back to stock.

C. this exact thing is covered in the first post in that thread. did you really not heed the warnings?
[Focus General] momadine:
Hi Everyone,

How can I unlock my AT&T Samsung Focus for free?

Thanks.
[Focus General] powersquad:
not possible yet. have to fork out $$
[Focus General] momadine:
Ok , I want to get it for some money and found someone on ebay that the people are saying he is guaranteed,

The only problem is that he requires a paypal money transfer and I don't have and my country is not eligable to have.

I live in Egypt but I'm still in the US and can return the device.

Should I just return it back?
[Focus General] powersquad:
get some US relative/friend to pay on your behalf for the ebay unlock code using their paypal account and just pay them cash $$$. you get your unlock code in their paypal registered email and a brilliant windows phone 7 device that is un matched.
[Focus General] malayalapenkutti:
Free unlock is not possible to get for the latest Phone,So you need to pay for it...You can get the paid unlock code from here Mobileunlocksolutions.com and unlock it from Network Lock.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Original phone owner can call AT&T to ask for the unlock code as "he/she will be traveling abroad". The request has to be done by the original owner (I'm assuming you're not, you bought the phone from the original owner). AT&T will provide it for free in some cases.

notifications!!! "why didnt you get my facebook posting i sent from my blackberry?"

me: "sigh....because my facebook app sucks..."
[Captivate General] reyza:
x2 definitely needs notifications
[Captivate General] ckyskeletor:
Yes it does suck compared to the iphone version. Need to add ability to view other peoples friends
[Captivate General] GAMacky:
To get around the notification, I've got facebook website to notify me via txt messaging since I have the family unlimited texting plan. So when I get the notification, I then open facebook app to see what's going on as the txt notification truncates a lot of info to limit to 100 characters.
[Captivate General] veive:
I think the widget needs some serious help... Perhaps something closer to the 'Feeds & updates' style widgets that shows multiple updates at once and lets you scroll through them.
[Captivate General] veener79:
Chat would be great. Well not for me work. LOL

I would like to be able to tag and have games like mafia wars also work with FB.
[Captivate General] bradleyG:
All of these ideas are really good. I wonder why Facebook is not showing android any love, i also wonder how we get them to start making changes. I don't know programming or coding or anything so i don't know exactly how hard it would be for them to simply put what the iphone version has and apply it to what we have. And maybe throw in a nice widget too.

[Droid X General] drewbe70:
I installed the new 2.2.320 sbf from TBH, just to start fresh. I have now tried 6 different programs to root my phone. None of them are working...Is anyone else having this issue? And if you got it working, what steps did you take to fix it? Thanks in advance:)
[Droid X General] sbkillz:
Use z4root. Had The same problem. This is a one click root application.
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
Yup, same problem here too. I was actually going to ask if anyone has the z4 root app because it disappeared from the market. It was the only thing that worked the first time I flashed the new SBF.
[Droid X General] s0n-:
ya, after flashing the new SBF, had to manually install Z4 as it wasnt in the market. Also it seems as if the D2 method wasnt working properly.
[Droid X General] drewbe70:
Thanks for the help everyone...
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
I don't know what the reasoning is, but no other root methods seem to work on 2.2.1.
[Droid X General] deadpixell:
z4root worked fine for me
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
YEs it works. That was the point of this thread. lol
[Droid X General] mbh87:
I had to wipe data to get z4 to work. I don't know why but if I downloaded all my apps again and set everything up it wouldn't work.
[Droid X General] cybiker123:
Put your phone in airplane mode, reboot, run z4root, let it reboot you phone. Once it powers on take it out of airplane mode and you should be rooted.

I too am having issues with rooting after the ota update. I initally was rooted using the rootmyx2 one click gui from sli3ntki11 and did the update, now nothing will give me root access, I tried z4, rootmyx2 (again), and tried the doroot.bat method through the android sdk install. Kinda at a loss. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid X General] crxin:
So I believe I figured it out. I have two existing superuser.apk in my system/app folder. This from what I read in some other posts is confusing z4 ( go figure smart enough to root but not to overwrite, lol) but the directory is read only. The other post gave a link to the steps to access it but the page was not found. Can anyone give me the steps to take to gain access to the directly and make it read/write so I can remove those two rogue files and get rooted?

z4root not supported on my droid X

hi,

i updated my Droid X to the latest version. 2.3.340. and downloaded the z4root through my phone from the link here and i get an error message that the file is not supported on this phone. please help i am new to this and still don't fully understand all of the terms. i tried to download the z4root 1.2 from 4shared.com but the phone hangs and nothing happens. any type of help will be appreciated, thanks.
[Droid X General] crxin:
did you sucessfully install it or did you get the error while trying to install it. you will have to download the apps installer from the market and use it to install the z4root.apk from your sd card.

what is the name of the apps installer i need to use the Z4root.

How did you apply an actual video clip (as opposed to a bunch of pngs) to be your boot animation? i would love to know how to do this
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
The video is a bunch of jpg files. You have to break the video down to individual frames. The difficult part for me was getting the frame rate correct.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
yah i just extracted the .zip and saw that it was a bunch of jpegs. i watched the youtube video and its so damn smooth that i actually that it was just a videoclip playback. god that would be so sexy if we were able to do that.....anyway is it possible you could PM me a quick tutorial on how to do this?

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ( M3GA ):
This certainly looks amazing. Interesting movie choice for a boot animation. I think I can speak for more than a few people when I say that a boot animation of the guy in the movie smacking his friend with the keyboard would be kickass. Just think . . . as soon as your Vibrant logo disappears you see him swinging his keyboard and F U C K Y O U slowly pops up on the screen :P
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xtone:
thanks for uploading the sound file! :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
I think I will be doing this exact one next.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cnote74:
It partially resolved my issue it installed a shutdown animation by reverting my old samsung shutdown logo one
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
So your shutdown logo is the samsung one after flashing? Thats odd, it worked fine on mine running nero v3 on the voodoo kernel. try deleting the whole shutdown folder and reflashing it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cnote74:
Ok I will try that
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jrathbun27:
yeah mine didnt even give me the old shut down, it came back but it was just a black screen... it put the shutdown folder in the media folder but not the video folder after flashing
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
move that shutdown folder into your video folder. I think I F'ed up the flash. anyhow I just did that and it works.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cnote74:
It worked thanks any shutdown sound for it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
if you want the audio from the movie I can make the ogg for it. or if you want some music or something just let me know.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jrathbun27:
i tryed and it wouldnt accept it... keeps saying move failed... dunno whats up with it... maybe astro manager isnt allowing the permission to do it... ??
