sorry mate, if you cant boot it, you cant access the files.. the internal SD is a chip on the MB, if you find a way to take it out and solder it on a usb drive board... then you could take those files out but that's waaaaaay to dangerous. Better send it back
[Captivate General] grkmaster:
yeah im fine.. luckily i did a backup maybe the last time i did a master clear like a week ago so im ok.. i ust like saving my text msgs but thats pretty much the only thing im losing and the rest ill just redownload..

Time to invest on a 32gb external for just these purposes lol .. appreciate the help

Nandroid backup, flash, reboot.. should work!

Enjoy. All I did was pack up the CM fix.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] qwho:
flashed the zip, worked wonders.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Droid_JD:
Maybe I'm just "special" but I didn't know there was a way to rotate with multi-touch. I installed the latest nightly, flashed this file... now what do I do?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Epicardium:
Any idea if this would work on MIUI?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
It's in apps like google maps 5 which allow you to rotate the map using multitouch.

Sorry for the confusion.

Also, it might work for MIUI. There's nothing special about the fix.. it just adds permissions for the discrete multitouch interface.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
works with nightly 174.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pbnj4640:
i flashed to miui, doesnt appear to have changed anything?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Rahshaka:
Thanks a lot for this. Works great.

The 3d viewing multitouch doesnt seem to be working for me and i am running the most recent nightly build. Is there a special setting that needs to be activated or something i am missing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iamsupreme:
Gosh dammit. I ran this from Nandroid Recovery. My phone boots all screwed up now with an endless wave of force closes of any and all apps. Can't use LauncherPro, only ADWLauncher. Son of a b____!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iamsupreme:
The attached zip you gave in the main message caused my phone to go into a continual force close once the phone boots. All apps are force closing on the screen and a middle eastern song started playing initially. UGH!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flippingout:
No issues so far with nightly #177. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Yikes! I did stress to back up.. you never know what can happen.

Well I'm not sure what to say.. the update has worked fine on many phones (even a moto droid).. so I'm sure it works.

I don't know where the middle eastern song could have came from. The zip only contains an update-script and the fixed xml file.

If you guys can give me some more info, rom, updates, some possible causes.. maybe I can help you. I'm going to post the md5sum, so maybe you guys can double check that the file downloaded all the way. I'm not here to make malicious posts.. so something else must have happend..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iamsupreme:
It's my own fault for not creating a backup first. I thankfully did a full backup on 12-15 so I'm restoring that now (after doing a full wipe).

I'm running CM 6.1 stable, Invisiblek #17 AOSP kernel. I don't think you're creating a malicious post. Who knows where the problem lies. It could have been anything and just triggered with the fix you posted. I'll let you know how it goes after the restore.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oturn:
I was running 6.1 stable. After flashing over with the 184 nightly, rotate didn't work for me either. Restored back to 6.1 and applied this fix, and now it's working fine.

I've flashed over many nightlies with no issues, always assuming all of the fixes were in place. Do the changes in the nighties only completely apply with a full wipe? Do some of them not apply with a flash over? Actually in this case it appears they don't. That is concerning...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
The updates do apply on a flash over. The merge wasn't synced with the buildbot yet.. so probably won't work until 185
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oturn:
Thanks for clearing that up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] brillantesdv:
works well over here.

CM6.1 stable, invisiblek#18
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jland22:
Agreed, thanks for clarifying. I will wait for the next nightly release.

This also fixed the lack of multitouch on the Gingerbread keyboard for me. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] megarek:
Fixed Google maps AND the gingerbread keyboard multitouch in build 183 for me! Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
confirmed multitouch on gingerbread keyboard fixed! on nightly #174
[Droid Incredible Android Development] megarek:
Quick update. I had some really strange behavior with the game Slice It. The multitouch would become very jumpy and I could not control the game. I deleted the file "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml" in system/etc/permissions. That has seemed to fix the problem without effecting multitouch in the keyboard, map, or any other program. Will post here if I run into any more problems.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] masully1984:
Works for me, CM6.1 stable

Hmm.. Technically, I should have made my patch delete that file too, but I didn't think it would be necessary .. i should probably update my patch

You shouldn't experience any issues with what you did.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mr4r4n:
which gingerbreadkeyboard apk works with this file? i didnt get multi touch with the one i was using
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
I pulled the kb from sdk ..I'm sure any proper kb rip should work

edit: you also need libjni_latinime.so (and libjni_pinyin.so if you want chinese)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DirtySimpleClean:
So it fixed my multitouch but my auto prediction isnt working properly anymore on the gb keyboard.

Running cm stable with gb theme

Edit: fixed by reflashing the keyboard with gingerbreadlatinime.zip :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jtcarnes:
This is just what I needed!

I've been wanting a multitouch back since I started flashing CM6.1 nightlies many moons ago. Gingerbread multitouch keyboard works BEAUTIFULLY! And it's FAST!

Thanks, seanzer!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wowthatisrandom:
to get it to work on miui:

i added this to the build.prop (at the bottom)

ro.opengles.version=131072

flashed the fix from post one

then renamed "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml" in system/etc/permissions to ....xml.bak

reboot and i got multitouch keyboard and working gmaps
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cprieto013:

Did exactly this and no go.... I've tried everything for multi touch.... getting really frustrated. ...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morph3k:
Every time I go to a store they dont have it on display and they do not promote it at all. They promote Droid X and Samsung Fascinate but the DInc is in the back. The DInc is the best android phone in my opinion but they say and i cant wait for the Incredible HD, the sales rep says a majority of people complain about the battery life but with the right kernnel it seems the 15000 mAh battery is fne as long as u dont over use it but i ploam o get a 2500mAh
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patsfan1130:
I believe it's all about marketing. Big Red feels the X is the closest competition to the Evo. I agree, the Dinc is the best out there right now. as far as changing kernals...the vast majority of Dinc owners are not rooted and flashing a different kernal is not an option.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morph3k:
Look at this forum. Most people are rootedl
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patsfan1130:

For every 1 person that is rooted and on this forum there are 10 that have no clue what xda is think the term rooted pertains to trees and plants.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashOp:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHolliday:
Found XDA after finding something in the Market I wanted. It said for "Rooted User" and being 1 of the 10 that had no clue I Googled and found this wonderful place.

Still have a ton of learning to do but hoping to get to a level of knowledge where most XDA'rs are at.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorSasquatch:
The DInc came out at a really bad time, in my opinion

It came out a few months before th Droid X, so it seems Verizon was too busy advertising their new upcoming Moto Droid phone, plus the Droid 2 was about to come out a few months after that

Just seems they had, in their eyes, more "important" phones on the horizon.

I never saw any adds leading up to he release of the DInc, but saw tons leading up to the X

I guess they see the X and D2 as more "true" successor's to their original Droid baby
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icstars989:
Because the phone is 9 months old and I think the shortages it had really limited its numbers.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagery77:
Yeah, I got mine in July. There was a 1-2 month wait and the X was coming out by the week's end. Blogs couldn't stop raving about it. It was going to be my last resort. I frantically scoured the net and thankfully found an Incredible at Amazon. Right look, right size, and right specs. Best phone decision ever. The life on this thing is unreal!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul600k5:
I was counting down the days to the Incredible release, waiting for either it or the N1 to be released first. Honestly, I only wish they released it sooner and I'm thankful that there are so many developers working on making it better.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clutch McWinner:
You want to know the funniest thing? I had a HTC Eris that I LOVED. My one year old threw it in the toilet (no app for that), so I had to wait for my upgrade. Went to Wal-Mart and picked up a D1 for $50. 1 Week later, wifey and I are shopping, and I see that they now have the DInc for.... wait for it...

$28. I scrambled to find my boxes, manuals, and receipt. They have a 30 day return policy. BOOM HEADSHOT.

I am now the proud owner of a Dinc running UD 2.5 and incredikernel #21 (sp). I honestly feel like I stole it from Wal-Mart.

I feel like I have my ERIS back, except it took steroids and became a Marine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulmz:
That's because this forum is designed for people that are little more hardcore than average users.

But, still, after all of the rooting and modding that people seem to be drawn towards, I don't see much of anything that's so different than stock.

Personally, I'm not rooted and have no intentions of rooting. I see absolutely no need for it. These devices are touchy enough without messing with root access.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chingy51o:
you wont understand until how much more potential your phone has until you actually start playing it. ive been rooted since the day i got my phone (it was the first thing i did after i activated it). was a little scared to do it at first but have no regrets. rooting this phone is as simple as plugging your phone into a computer now and opening an app with a 99.9% chance nothing will go wrong. back when i rooted my phone being scared to root it was understandable as you had to mess with multiple things to get it to work. it actually took me about 6 hours to do it (had to pop in and out the sd card at an exact time) but now its a piece of cake. you really should open yourself up to rooting which will give you access to all the work of these wonderful developers at xda. im ensuring you that you wont be disappointed. with all that said hopefully you will allow your dinc to operate at its fullest potential!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
I rooted with no regrets. I specifically bought this phone in april because I knew mods/hacks would allow cisco groupname vpns. That was the only reason I was needing root, which came available months later. Some other pros were using undervolted kernels, nandroid, and minor asthetics, but big whoop.

Come january first, I doubt Dinc will be in VZ's plethora of phones. It had a long 8-9 month journey. I'll likely keep my Dinc through Q1 of 2012, when i'm eligible for a free upgrade.

The best part is, it will still be handy like an iPod Touch with SIP phone, our can be a good smart phone for my daughter (a blooming developer).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbcpn:
Agreed, but I suspect the number is probably more like 100+.

I got the dInc on release day! I was on T-Mobile and using a NexusOne but had antenna issues with it so I gave it to my gf temporarily and bought me the dInc ...I dislike Motorola and looooove HTC and XDA.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritcrusher33:
I even switched from sprint just to get the DINC>why u may ask... cause sprint didnt have a decent android phone in the 3.6 to 4 inch screen.. I would have loved the evo. but no 4g in the sticks were i live.. So far the DINC to me is one of the best phones out atm.. perfect size and the style is great.. nothing too flashy.... even engadget still says the same...

The DINC should at least get another update..Its got the horesepower.. but the ball is in verizons court etc..on that one.. im just gonna sit back and enjoy it for a year or so then see what else is out there..
[Epic 4G Themes] amosher13:
Hadn't seen this in our section yet, I've done nothing to make this happen and dont take credit for it at all, I simply plucked this from this thread and figured some people might want it. As far as I can tell it works great, one minor display issue as I moved around where numbers overlapped a word a little bit in a column header (not looking at it now).

I didnt feel like making a flashable zip, you can just drop into /system/app with root explorer or adb push if thats your thing, enjoy!

[Streak 5 General] royalmail:
I am very surpised when I realize that.

I was having sticky screen problem after upgrading to 2.1

then i exchange a new streak from O2 with 1.6.

Now I upgrade it to O2 offical 2.2 version. the respondsive problem of touch screen come back straight away. I tried re-calibrate the touch scree. but it didn't last good for long.

today i finally figure it out that the problem seems only when the screen in landscape mode. the touch screen works really well in portrait mode.

why is like that? I think it somehow related to the performance of the new ROM. did anyone of you encounter similar issue?

any suggestion?
[Streak 5 General] ucanthang29:
I am having the same problem. Very frustrating cause I looked forward to getting my phone off of the stock 1.6 att rom and I see this issue. There has to be a performance fix like for the prior builds that can address the issue here too. I am just not sure where to go from here.
[Desire HD General] charli:
Hi,

I've followed the guides to root, S-OFF, and installed Clockwork Recovery. Then I've installed with Clockwork Recovery the latest 1.1.4 Apache14 kernel. After that and rebooting my phone, it only shows a white screen with HTC in the center and reboots.

I hold down Vol+ but the phone doesn't go into bootloader mode.

Has my phone bricked?

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] mupet0000:
You don't hold VOL+ you hold VOL-
[Desire HD General] charli:
Sorry! Now I can access the bootloader. What do I have to do to get the phone to work again?

Flash from fastboot?

Thank you!
[Desire HD General] xmoo:
Yes flash back the kernell you was using before.

And if you dont have that.

Reflash stock rom.
[Desire HD General] :
Go into recovery (you can access it from the bootloader) and flash another ROM.

Exactly what your trying to do would help :confused:
[Desire HD General] hav0c:
Not to flame but it probaly makes sense to read a bit more about what you are trying to do before actually doing it :)

My touch screen is unresponsive after I pull my streak out of my pocket.

After a minute or so it start working again.

When I first received it I did not have this issue.

I have flashed DJ_Steve's rom.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Should I send it back to Dell?
[Streak 5 General] royalmail:
just saw your post after posted my one.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876931

did u try in landscape mode?
[Streak 5 General] stevenlong:
So when I pull my streak out of my pocket it is on the lock screen, which for me is always landscape.

And with the screen unresponsive I can't unlock it.

To add a little more detail, sometimes the screen is only partly unresponsive. e.g. I can sometimes partly move the sound drag button, or the unlock button, but not fully.
[Streak 5 General] nigel p:
I have had this issue after flashing 1.4.6, my streak is in landscape. I used dell 1.6 before that with no issue.

I have been using no lock off the market, when at home to by pass the problem, however the screen can still be unresponsive but only parts of it, for example one row of apps on the home screen can be pressed but others cannot.

Have you guys tried to do a screen calibration that worked for my streak 2.2 Dell bug fix version
[Streak 5 General] Joat79:
It's not just you guys, I have this problem as well. I miss atleast 5 calls a day because I can't get it to slide to answer the phone call. As far as the home screen from pulling out of the pocket, I have found the pattern unlock to work the best with no problems. If I get a phone call, I try pressing the go back button on the capacitive screen and turn it to landscape and it seems to work. A pain...but I guess running a custom ROM has to come with a little sacrifice. I'll live though.
[Streak 5 General] stevenlong:
Doing the screen recalabrate worked. :)

That so does not make scene but it appears to have fixed my problem.

[Streak 5 General] scaronscar:
No prob man
[Streak 5 General] nigel p:
It fixed mine for about a day but it has started doing it again. :-(
[Streak 5 General] nigel p:
I have found that doing a long press on the power button to bring up the power of menu, then going back to home screen makes it all responsive again. Not a fix but lets me unlock with out having to wait for a minute or so.
[Streak 5 General] kohiiou:
I've had a similar problem before too when I first got the streak! Try keeping it in your pocket facing out and away from your leg instead of toward...

Also - maybe the type of material a person wears might affect it. I noticed this problem occurred more in my jeans facing my leg than in my suit pants facing out.
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
Mine's been doing this since I went to 2.2

Evidently the update made the screen more temperature sensitive or less, depends on how you look at it. I noticed that if I had the phone in my pocket facing my body, it was unresponsive until the screen cooled. Then it responded again. If I put my phone in pocket facing away from body, no issues. I also noticed it was unresponsive after I was on the phone talking ( the heat from my cheek?).

Have not found a resolution to this other than to keep the screen "cool" at all times so it would respond to the warmth of my fingers.

Just another bug in the 2.2 update it seems, so until Dell does something about it, Punk'd by Dell.
[Streak 5 General] netonyx:
+1. I started putting it in my pocket screen out a few days ago (whether jeans pocket or inside jacket pocket), and it hasn't happened once since. When I do forget and put it in my pocket facing in, it's a 50/50 chance it will happen.

It seems as though constant contact with skin (through a thin layer of cloth) desensitizes the capacitive screen somehow, even (or only?) when the screen is off. Strange that the issue never occurred on Donut. (I'm on DJ Steve's Froyo 1.5.1 now.)

I hadn't thought about temperature as a possibility, and I doubt that's all there is to it. Anyone live in an extremely warm climate who has had trouble with screen sensitivity in other circumstances?
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
+2

This can be greatly reduced by the way you carry it in your pocket... I'd much rather have it facing inward - but then the sticky unlock acts up. Facing outward it rarely happens.

I don't think anyone noticed this on donut because you only had to press the menu key to unlock... not use the screen. Question is, was this happening on 2.1?
[Streak 5 General] nigel p:
I will try that for a few days, I had noticed that it did not happen if left the phone on the side or on my desk all day.

Nigel
[Streak 5 General] netonyx:
I always used a pattern unlock on Donut, not the Menu key, and this never once happened in over a month of daily use. Day one after installing Froyo I had to stop using the pattern unlock because it was driving me nuts trying to unlock the thing after taking it out of my pocket. Of course, any unlock I tried was impossible with this issue, and the only thing that really worked was just waiting for it to start working again.

No idea about 2.1, I only had it installed for about an hour.
[Streak 5 General] 00roberto00:
i solved putting the streak in pockets with the screen towards the ouside of the pocket, and not facing the leg
[Streak 5 General] francisswest:
+1million to all of this.

This was driving me nuts, thought I was the only one, exchanged the streak once already because of it.

Just had my coworker the cubicle across from mine try putting his streak in his pocket for 15 minutes, pulled it out, SHAZAM, touch screen didnt work for a few minutes.

Verified here on 3 streaks. 1 on 1.6 and 2 on 2.2 all have the same issue. 1.6 unlocks, but then nothing works until you mess with the facebook app, or another scrolling app, then everything works again.
[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
did anyone happen to report this to dell? I think we might start to have a case here.
