[Fascinate General] cvrkickercomp:
I am trying to flash the stupidfast kernel to my fascinate through rommanager, but when it begins to install the new rom it fails. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
It fails to install while you are in clockwork?
[Fascinate General] cvrkickercomp:
Ok, so here is what i did (note that my phone is already rooted) I downloaded rom manager premium, in rom manager i clicked "flash clockwork mod recovery" i then clicked "download rom" went into the "geeknik" file downloaded "stupidfast v1.23 (DI01), after the file downloaded the "rom pre-installation" menu came up. I checked backup existing rom, then clicked ok I got a message that said "reboot and install" i clicked ok. The phone reboots to "Androd system recovery <2e>

from there it reads as follows:

-- Install from package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I am very new to this, any help would be appreciated. Basically what i am trying to do (and correct me if i am wrong) is install a different kernel to o/c my phone, and install a different rom to make the gui look different. Thanks all!

[Fascinate General] cvrkickercomp:
So this worked great, i am just wondering how long it usually takes for a new kernel to install?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Kernels take about 30 sec or so to install via clockwork. If you're enabling voodoo when the phone restarts, it will take about 5 minutes or so to convert the partitions.
[Fascinate General] cvrkickercomp:
ok so i try to install the new kernel, it claims that it has installed, but when i go to the "about phone" screen it shows it as running the stock kernel? Any ideas?
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
The 2.6.29 still being there is normal it won't change even after you flash geekniks its like that with all the kernels for the fascinate I think...if you wanna double check flash one of boot animations from rom manager and if it works then your all set because the stock kernel won't allow custom boot animations...wow that was longer than I thought it would be sorry...
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Use SetCPU or Quadrant to look at the info. Both show more than just the kernel version and there is info in there that will let you know if it updated properly, such as a unique build tag or build date for the kernel. The reason that it still looks like stock is that currently they can only get the stock kernel source working properly with the device, so all kernels are based on the same version.

My hero has a 5 pin Micro USB. strange.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oostah:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Just want to say that our Hero has mini USB, not micro USB. It's a big difference.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yes it is, and right you are ;) Epic is micro, hero and evo mini
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oostah:


Ok I see now. So is it the norm for the mini to have more pins. And is there more to the mini usb on the hero than data and charge.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
No...... that's really all it's made for
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oostah:
Thanks impaler I was wondering if I could use it for audio for like a doc station
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
No problem man, and yeah, you'd need to use the headphone jack for that :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imneveral0ne:
the evo and the hero do not have the same. both are sitting right in front of me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Well then does the Evo have mini?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imneveral0ne:
yeah, it has mini. my evo is dead cause i cant find the cord for it lol.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
If it's mini it's the same as the hero lol ;) Only micro would be different
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imneveral0ne:
I meant Micro lol, Sorry im tired :-p
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
The EVO uses a standard Micro USB port, while the Hero uses HTC's proprietary ExtUSB connector, which is backwards-compatibie with Mini USB. ExtUSB allows for peripherals such as a stereo headset with mic.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hfelton:
yes - so for the OP, you -can- do some extra stuff with the extra pins on this connector... for instance, i have a bookmark to an extusb-stereo-headset listed HERE... :p
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oostah:
So the hero can be used with a dock station and play music. And other things. Right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
Theoretically, yes. Realistically, I don't believe there were ever any docks with audio output specifically manufactured for the Hero, but one designed for a different phone that also uses ExtUSB may work.

There are also "breakout" cables you can buy that have an ExtUSB connector on one end and branch out to a mini USB and a 3.5mm audio connector on the other end.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
Yeah, older htc devices came with accessories for it. I have a htc stereo headset that uses it and a dongle that the headset and a charger can connect to and they work perfectly with the hero. They came with my tmo wing.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oostah:
ok this makes sense. i thought it would. have been told by a couple of reps it would not work. sitting here looking at my sony HD tv thought i would used my usb cable and was able to listen to music and see my pics that was cool. good to no now i want to download a movie and see if it plays.:cool:

Is there a reason you want do to this? Why cant you use your 3g?
[Android Apps and Games] chatfan:
of course there is a reason for all this, simple, where I live there is not 3G, EDGE, just GPRS but it's very limited, just exist one Cell Phone Carrier, so no choice....
[Android Apps and Games] ickyboo:
I'm like you. My house must have alot of steel and whatnot that seem to just kill reception and I only get gprs. I went looking for a usb > android method for months and havn't come up with anything :(. What helped for me is setting my phone to lock onto WCDMA in settings and using the 3G only fix (type *#301279# in phone/dial pad then select [2] then [1]. To restore select [2] then [3]) Now I atleast get 2 bars with 3G (not full utms/Hpsa) which is fine as its better then GPRS and battery wise its a lot better then HSPA/UMTS but of cause it uses more power then GPRS but since I'm at home I always have it either plugged in or I can charge quick

You don't HAVE to set it to WCDMA only. You can leave it at GSM/WCDMA if you want but I find it very annoying when the phone keeps switching bands as it lags when i'm playing games that need network so thats why I leave it locked onto WCDMA only.

O crap, I didn't relize you don't have the a Galaxy S like I do. Maybe you can find a app or code or something to get your phone to lock onto 3G/EDGE only instead of HSPA

I have found this, but not sure if works or not, maybe someone can explain me better.

Can i share the connection between android and my pc through USB cable?

I'd like to connect to the internet with my android using the PC internet connection. Yes, you can. It's described on koolu's forum. Check this link [1].

If you dont have access i just copy paste the instructions below.
All credit goes to koolu and Brian Code for this info:

[1] forum.koolu.org • Login

Yes, you can use the USB to browse the web...

You need to do three things to enable the internet.

1. First make sure that network forwarding is working on the computer that the phone is connected to. 2. Add the default route to the phone:

Code: Select all
route add default gw 192.168.0.200 dev usb0

3. Add the dns for proper name resolution

Code: Select all
setprop net.dns1 192.168.0.200

You should be able to ping the computer the phone is connected to:

Code: Select all
ping 192.168.0.200

You should also be able to ping IP addresses outside of that subnet if the route has been set up properly. The route can be verified by:

Code: Select all
cat /proc/net/route

[Android Apps and Games] mr.r9:
I know this is not a solution exactly, but the HD port has something called 'Internet pass-through' which is what you want. It's sad that we used to do it easily in WinMo but have to go through hell to do it in Android.

So if you feel like putting up a new ROM, try it here:

If he could connect to his computer through WiFi then wouldn't it be easier to connect straight to the net through WiFi,

There must be a way of doing this, I used to have a Samsung omnia, when you plugged in the usb cable it would connect to the net via the computers connection and sync the emails

Good luck with this but considering there is no way to access the internal memory other than in adb there is probably no way for the pc to access it either

[G Tablet General] kornyone:
Hello,

First of all, I am not attempting to compete with the other awesome images for the G Tablet available. I am doing this process to learn, and maybe contribute to the community.

I have grabbed the AOSP directly from Google's repo tree, and compiled it in two different ways: Generic build, modifying BoardConfig.mk and other files as necessary. I have also used the Device/Vendor files from the Cyanogen Beta 4 harmony repo tree, and compiled a harmony target with AOSP.

When I compiled the generic build (or the the targeted build), I made sure all proprietary files from the tablet had been extracted and replaced in my system.img. (I got this list from the extract-files.sh script in Cyanogen harmony repo).

I have found that using the stock boot.img from the original nvflash files will boot nearly any system.img (from my update.zip in clockwork). I used this original boot.img, combined with my system.img from the AOSP build (with the proprietary files in place), and made an updater-script which installed things. I found that the system.img was properly extracted to /system.

The problem that occurs -- when booting, the Viewsonic bootup screen will load the GTablet screen, but it will eventually loop back to the Viewsonic screen and report "deleting msc" prior to returning to Recovery Mode on it's own.

I have enabled ADB persistence in the boot ramdisk, and it works fine as long as it's not my system.img. When I use the AOSP system.img, adb devices shows the device, but adb shell/logcat fail until the device power cycles.

Does anyone know what I might be missing?
[G Tablet General] kornyone:
Also want to add:

I have tried the stock boot.img, which lacks a 'cmdline' parameter, and I have tried using the cmdline parameters from the Cyan Harmony boot.img specifications. I am not sure if this might have something to do with the issue or not.
[G Tablet General] tjohnsonjr:
Did you ever get your AOSP build to boot?
[G Tablet General] kornyone:
I did. It's in the Dev section now :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DG4FREE:
I happen to be one of those rooters who still enjoys the Sense UI over an AOSP base.

However, I was wondering if there was a way to lower the amount of home screens I have. My daily is Myn's RLS4 and with Sense I find myself only really using 3-5 home screens and basically fill the other 2 with widgets just so they are not blank. I wouldn't mind them if I have to, but it's possible my phone would run a little quicker and save some battery if I were able to limit the amount of home screens and focus on using the apps for the info when I need it rather than have the widgets constantly running.

I'm not sure if there is a way to integrate a Miui or ADW/Launcher Pro method of controlling how many screens we have, but I think it's not far out of the ballpark.

I searched through the forums for about an hour looking for any info, but didn't find anything. Please post a link if this has been discussed already.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to find out if anyone in the UK on o2 is able to see "3G" on there notifcation bar at the top?

I have been trying to find out for a while and have recently changed my sim card to a 3G as i have had mine for ages and was still an old 2g one!!!!!!

Since swapping I still only see G all the time while downloading data. Does it actually change to 3G when its available?

My current settings are:

o2 mobile Web Post Pay

APN mobile.o2.co.uk

Username: o2web

Password: password (i think!)

APN Type: Internet

Any help would be great

Well when I'm inside I get HSPDA, I some times see the 3G logo, not often, but HSDPA is better anyway, when I have a decent signal or it drops to edge, but outside I always get it, It could be due to lack of a decent signal?

Make sure in Mobile Network Settings you have Network mode set to GSM/CDMA (Auto Mode)

My Internet settings are the same as yours
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benson881:
So you actually see a 3G logo then.........humm

I checked my network settings and mine are on auto as well.

Im wondering if there something wrong with my phone????

The only reason I say this is because my m8 is on 3 network and when were next to each other he can pick up a 3G signal and I cant. I find it hard to beileve 3 has better network in my area. Specially I always have a 5 bar signal.

Cheers for replying

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
Have you checked your signal on the o2 post code checker? I wouldnt bash three's signal thinking o2 is better! as 3 network share nearly all 3g sites with tmobile now and have really good coverage so dont use that as a president.

Also best to try your sim in a unlocked/o2 phone in an area that you know gets signal like the o2 shop. Also i didnt think any network needed new sims for 3g apart from orange with the strange usim!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
I see both H and 3G.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benson881:
Yeah i needed a new sim. Got mine about 4 years ago and was told i had an old 2G sim. I didnt know they updated sim cards !!!!!

Ill check the postcode checker on the website and will probably go to the o2 near me. Hopefully Ill pick it near there.

Im not overly bothered about having it where i am, just want to know it works ok.

[HD2 Android SD Development] vua777:
Update:

the camcoder can record 800x480 now :) (Thanks iamgpc )

for the peoples who love the Glacier build and dying waiting for MDJ FroYo Glacier v. 2.0 like me, here is a temporary fix for the Camera that make that build more usable without 3rd party camera app.

i guess the problem is that Desire HD's libs and the Glacier's Camera can't reading/writing the right resolution/image ratio setting. So i just patched it to disable the ratio changer and resolution settings to avoid FC.

i am lucky again with my amateur skill and the known bugs are:

- It can take all resolution in wide mode only (ex: 5M 2592 x 1552...)

- Onscreen resolution display is not correct

- The Camcoder can record in MMS mode only

If you want to try please backup your build first

- Start in Android and use Root Explorer to delete these 3 files if exist: /system/app/HTCCamera.apk, /system/app/HTCCamera.odex, and

/data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs/com.android.camera_preferences.xml

- unzip my file to get a root folder, place root folder to Android folder on your SD

- reboot

- run the Camera twice :) and it should work

It is not perfect but i am happy to use Glacier daily now, IMO it is really better than Desire HD build.
