[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alexfradiani:
Hi everyone.

Before explaining my issue i want to clarify that i know 1) there is always the risk of brick the phone.. 2) there are a lot of threads out there talking about this... But the information can be very tricky because of the large number of roms/specs/ways.

i want to upgrade my HTC Magic with Android 1.5. with the following characteristics:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT - 1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)

CPLD-12

RADIO 6.35.10.14

Baseband version: 63.18.55.06KU_6.35.10.14

Kernel version: 2.6.27-5b476e83 htc-kernel and18-2 #989

what i really need is get it to >= 1.6 for an app i'm developing that uses opengl... so if i find a rom that works fast and ok that should do it.

i already tried the instructions in "theunlockr"

but flashrec failed with "could not run command" because the firmware is patched (as flashrec itself says on the site). so i am stuck there, without even having the root on my system.

please any help to achieve this, i'll really appreciate it. Thanks for listening.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WoblyGoblin:
Flashrac should work for 1.5 android it worked for me, you have super one click method for rooting and instaling custom recover on the www.theunlockr.com
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alexfradiani:
ok, day 1 was a fail...

i'm going now for round 2. so far i tried using flashrec but it didn't work, as mentionend before.

also tried "SuperOneClick" and apparently it installs but at the end says "test FAILED".

So i'm going to try now the first method right here in the forums. let's see what happens.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alexfradiani:
ok, day 2 was success!!.

flashrec didn't work.

ROM manager didn´t work.

at the end i did all the flashing and installation by hand following the main thread here in the forum and the wiki to install cyanogenmod for htc magic.

i explained my experience in my blog. can't post the link because i'm newbie and i'm not allowed to do that, if anyone is interested it is at fradiani (dot) com slash blog.

It's possible to do notification bar same as iOS ? I dont watn skins like iphone, but iphone has cool notify bar, when time is centered and otherwise thing running from sides...
[Android Themes] dean.d:
You'll have to find the smali reposition the icons. The smali is going to be in the services.jar. You'll have to decompile it to find the smali. then you would have to locate the lines to change. That is all I can provide because the smali's have different names and lines for different roms.

[Captivate General] shaxs:
I have a Captivate running Cognition V2.2.Beta1. Using either usb tether or wireless tether, I get pings of 600+ and slow upload/download speeds.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1064395617.png

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1064400255.png

Anyone else getting better results? Anyone know how to optimize/fix the issue?
[Captivate General] slifer315:
it's because you're pinging and speed testing on a server 400 miles away from where your phone accesses the internet. where you personally are located is not necessarily where your phone connects to the internet. that speedtest app using your location to suggest "nearby" servers to test on instead of using your ip address. testing on servers closest to where your ip address routes to/from will get you much better results.

edit: for instance, I'm currently in central new jersey, but the speedtest app suggests a server 220 miles away in virginia because I disabled the location services (gps and wireless networks) and it is now using my ip address to suggest the closest servers.
[Captivate General] shaxs:
Actually I manually selected the server in San Diego as that is where I connecting from.

What I am really trying to do is get this to work with a good enough ping to play Aion an MMORPG when traveling and in a hotel room.
[Captivate General] slifer315:
what are your results when you pick the recommended server?

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1064448553.png
[Captivate General] slifer315:
you should try a rom with HSUPA support such as assonance, perception, axura, or even the latest cognition now has HSUPA support. you'll get higher upload speeds and therefore a lower ping. then maybe you'll be able to play in very low populated areas because too many other players or monsters would flood your bandwidth with data and therefore cause you to lag out.
[Captivate General] shaxs:
Im thinking about it. You said the voice quality goes down with one of those roms however?

I also thinking the upgrade process from 2.2b1 is going to be ugly/hard to do since with this rom it doesn't support clockwork.
[Captivate General] slifer315:
call quality used to be bad, but the jk3 modem included in most of them is crystal clear. just find an update.zip from somewhere on this forum that contains clockworkmod recovery, put it on your sd card, odin one click back to stock, do not master clear, reboot to recovery, reinstall packages twice to install clockwordmod recovery, data wipe / factory reset in recovery, and finally flash your rom of choice. as long as you don't change that update.zip, which you shouldn't ever need to, you can use this method to flash any rom in the future.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Where you are physically located has nothing to do with it (or not much in picking a server). Your phone gets on the cellular network near your house. Its data transits AT&Ts servers and hits the Internet wherever it exits the AT&T data centers - usually Dallas, TX. Best results are when SpeedTest tells you as that server is closest to the AT&T Proxy server that is putting you online.

Cell Phone networks were not built with Latency or ping times in mind, so tethering will give mediocre performance. Aircards tend to do better as carriers and prioritize traffic for PCs over phones - also depending on how you are tethered, there may even be one less hop.
[Captivate General] slifer315:
that was exactly my point.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Yes, but picking your IP address should give you the same physical location as the speedtest.net servers - that is how they locate you - IP geo-location. Your IP address is the last hop Speedtest sees - they are trying to ping you. If you pick your physical location then the speedtest has to cross the internet to your IP address then ride the carrier network back to your physical location.

Picking your physical address should make ping times and speedtest times longer.
[Captivate General] SULL3N:
I second using a HSUPA rom. I've been on perception for the last 2 weeks using it to tether my pc for some Black Ops Multiplayer. On the cognition rom i would regularly ping about 300+ with 1.5mb down/1up. Now with perception 7 i am pinging under <100 with 3.5mb down/ 1.5up. Its all in the modem the rom is using.:cool:
[G Tablet General] sano614:
I just picked up this tablet today and I'm running TNT lite 2.2. I seem to be having issues with the sound now. It is coming out all staticy and crackling... When it happened the first time, I rebooted and it went back to normal. But now it has happened again 20 min later...

Anyone else experience this?
[G Tablet General] myndwire:
with fring, but that's about it... tnt2.2.1 here.
[G Tablet General] tompc:
I had the same problem with the original one that I purchased with no new image put on it yet. I exchanged it and the new one is fine. BTW, I did notice that the sears employee marked it as having a sound problem so you didn't get mine. :)
[G Tablet General] twainj:
I am as well

Having issues with the sound. At times when a sound is to be played, I hear a loud static noise. It only happens a few times. Also, when I plug in headphones, only the Right side is heard and not the Left. Any help??
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
For any sound issues, I would suggest going back to stock and trying it. I have had a lot of mod issues, but staticky sound is not one of them.
[G Tablet General] openallnight:
I have a sound issue where there is a loud static sound and its intermittent.. pressing any buttons seems to stop it. it goes away after reboot.
[G Tablet General] daCalifa:
Return it! I had this issue with my first G tab. It got progressively worse over the course of 2-3 weeks, until I had no functioning sound. My new unit has not had this problem at all.

P.S.

any one picking up a refurb in santa cruz, ca beware...Sears employees asked 0 questions when I returned it
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] minotauri:
I am not the author of this, but just wanted to share this cool web-tool and app available on the web called AppRunner by NetMite.

http://www.netmite.com/android/

This web page lets you use any J2ME/Java app written for other mobile phones on android. You upload the JAR file to the site, and it'll convert it to an APK file for you to download to your phone and install. It works on the few apps I've used.

You'll also need their app to get the converted apps to work the first time. It's called AppRunner, and available on that site.

Somethings I've noticed:

on some apps, I have to change it to Classic Java UI instead of Android Native UI in the settings menu for it to be fully functional - unfortunately this doesnt work to well on scaling but you can zoom and move things around if you play hard enough in the settings.

I know we just got Froyo today, but logicaly, should the Vibrant receive a 2.2.1 XXJPU'esque rom?
[HTC Aria General] Freemantig:
Sorry if this post is in the wrong thread.

Im running CM6.1 i have a 4gb sd card and i would like to move my apps/cache/dalvik to the and ext partition on my sd card. I understand there is more than one way to do this and i would like to know what is the best method for doing this. and also if someone could point me in the direction for some instructions for setting everything up that would be awesome.

The integrated a2sd in cm6.1 just insnt cutting it. i have maybe 50ish apps none that are huge and even with every app moved to the sd card that i possibly can im still having to delete things to install things.

thanks for any help in advance
[HTC Aria General] ikari2539:
I have an ext2 partition on my sdcard and flashed the cm-a2sd.zip. You could also try one of the available scripts or zips such as darktremor's or firerat's.
[HTC Aria General] Freemantig:
where can i download that?
[HTC Aria General] Freemantig:
Ok I partitioned my SD and flashed darktremors a2sd but it doesn't show up on my phone. I can't seem to find any instructions specifically for cm6. 1 and DT a2sd.
[HTC Aria General] ikari2539:
search around in the forums on the cyanogenmod website. that's where I found it, as well as the post for firerat's script
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yhbae01:
My i9000M was working fine on the stock 2.1 then I decided to upgrade it to 2.2, so I followed AllGamer's thread. It worked great, and I had Froyo, except it didn't handle 3G band well. So I decided to further patch it by following another thread that says it will fix this issue but I ended up bricking the phone, and Bell Vibrant cannot use the 3-key combo to enter the download mode. This happened when I downloaded one of the ROM images from samsungfirmware.com (or something like that).

I had to build the microUSB dongle to get myself back to the download mode, so now I am able to get back again. But while all of this was happening, Bell released the official Froyo ROM!

So now my question is, what is the easiest way for me to go from my corrupt stage to official Bell's Froyo ROM?

Appreciate some directions. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] masontan:
i think the best way is to use odin to flash back to I9000UGJK3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yhbae01:
So is I9000UGJK3 the stock ROM that came with Bell Vibrant?

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] shograt:
So, I tried out Autodesks's Sketch Book Express - all good, love it. I then bought the non-express version on my G2 - and it brings a -lot- to the plate, and I'm semi-desperate to get it onto the NC, which seems like a device made for it from the ground up.

But, getting no love. I'm rooted & z4rooted, so superuser's doing its thing. Made a titanium backup of app + data, moved that backup over to the NC, restored it - and on app startup, I get a license error. It seems to want an internet connection - connected via wifi, tried again (on three different connections, even!), still get the license error.

Obviously, there's no market access yet. And it's not on slideme or andappwhateverthatsitewas.

Is there any solution to this? I'm guessing not, but never hurts to ask. Seriously, though - this app was made for this device, so this is killing me </hyperbole>.
[Nook Color General] PJE66:
I did the same thing... bought the full version on my Droid to transfer, but the application license locked itself to my Droid :0(

I'd be interested in any fix.
[Nook Color General] modembug:
a quick google search reveals that mobilism has a version up. Since you folks already payed for it, i do not see any harm in using this version. (the regular page did not load, but google cache has a copy of it.)

[Nook Color General] klleung72781:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derkie:
Have you tried this?

I'm also looking into removing/hide clock on Desire HD.
[Desire HD General] Trig0r:
My DHD turns up :D

No doubt wont be long before its not on stock ROM, which is the best day to day ROM thats around, closest I've gotten to DHD so far is MDeejays HD2 ROM's so have no idea who's who on the Android front.

See from a quick poke around that there are a few issues with the stock ROM, are these usually fixed with custom ROM's?

Is it too early for Gingerbread, should I just stick with 2.2 for now?

Battery life, seems to be a load of threads about this, what shoudl I expect from the battery?

Wifi, on teh HD2 WinMo there is the ability for the phone to switch the wifi off after so long if its not connected, havent seen this on MDJ's ROM's for the HD2, is it not something Android does? Does it make that much difference to the battery life? I've noticed people say they get low drain (current widget) even with wifi on..
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
3g appears to be the big drain on battery life, i can recommend Superpower which lets you set it to turn off 3g / wifi / Bluetooth etc when not in use, after a week to ten days you should easily get 15 - 18 hours moderate use out of the phone without unreasonable tweaks.

Everyday use ROM, I don't think you can go wrong with Cyanogen, it's stable and fast and should have enough to keep most people happy, but have a poke around the DEV forum and see what grabs your fancy and enjoy
[Desire HD General] Trig0r:
Cheers chap, 15-18 hours isnt bad, the phone is on charge every night, I have a car charger as well as a charger in the office at work so powers not a huge issue but on the off chance I get dragged around Ikea by the missus I dont want it to die in a few hours..

Will check out the Cyanogen thread tomorrow when I get to work and colelct all the bits I need to root/flash the phone when it turns up...
[Desire HD General] Trig0r:
Ended up going with Revolution 1.9

I like my sense clock widget..

I have noticed tho coming over from MDJ's HD2 Android builds that I've started to get adverts in Angry birds and a few other apps, there a way I can get rid of them, I'd rather pay for something and not get ads than use a free version and get ads that slow stuff down...

Hi all

I bought my Galaxy S from Abu Dhabi just to latter figure out that it DOESNT come with Market, instead, it comes with a useless SLIDEME... where NONE of the major apps are available. So I searched everywhere and never found a straight answer...

Time for desperate tries than.... and what worked for me was:

I assume NO RESPONSABILITY for this, it might work for phones from other countries.

Try at your own risk.

I won’t be available to help out, I just want to share what I did and worked.

(You can find more details for the individual steps browsing this forum)

Install latest version of Kies

Install the firmware update from Kies (froyo, if already not installed)

Reboot you phone

Change the following settings on the phone:

Apps -> Settings -> Applications

Mark: Unknown Sources

Click on -> Development

Mark USB Debugging and Stay awake

Connect your phone to your PC with the USB cable

Download the latest version of the “SuperOneClick” root tool (I used 1.5.5-ShortFuse)

Unzip it to an easy folder to access by command line (DOS prompt), something like: “C:\super”

Root your phone using this tool (READ the instructions on their webpage, all I had to do was execute the SuperOneClick.exe, click "root" and wait for the process to finish, AGAIN, more details on the post about the SuperOneClick.)

Reboot

(If your rooting worked, you should see an “app” called “superuser”)

Now, on your phone, unmark the “USB Debugging” option you marked on the beginning (you will have to “disconnect” the phone click on the home button to do that)

Open a command line prompt you your pc, and change directory to where you unzipped the SuperOneClick files.

If you are you the right folder, you should see an “adb.exe”

Type the following commands (NO MISTAKES ALLOWED HERE, PAY ATTENTION):

adb shell

Hit enter

su

enter again

your phone should pop up SuperUser app, asking for super user permission for the shell, click Allow (and mark remember)

your command line will change from $ to #, meaning, you are root user.

I suggest you copy and paste the following because any mistake (missing or extra spaces) can cause serious problems

Type:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

hit enter

cat /system/ojpcom/Vending.apk > /system/app/Vending.apk

hit enter

mount –o ro,remount –t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

hit enter

exit

hit enter

exit

hit enter

(no message will show up after this commands if they were successful)

Reboot you phone, unplug USB cable.

Market should be one of your Apps now ;)
