[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] irteza_h:
Thats true ... never knew the the term nand until i was told to search for it in post 5. . Anyways ... if somebody does come here searching for android on ROM ..

There are people working on putting android on ROM .. but that thread is strictly for devs. The thing is this. Android on ROM (aka NAND) is actually NOT faster than android on the sd card. At this point when android on a win mobile is really buggy ..its also for your own good that you stick to loading windows then booting to android. If in case anything happens to the android installation then atleast you would have your windows installation. 2 days after my first post I am running android installed on my sd card on my hd2. There are no lags and everything is working, although its a bit buggy .. like the in call volume keeps increasing and dropping but i think its gonna be fixed pretty soon. After going through atleast 4 different versions of win rom and an android rom, here is what i found to be the most stable

ChuckyROM with radio 2.15

cyanogenmod for hd2 v0.34

its working nicely and there are no animation lags , video plays properly and music is good too .. its a little buggy but nothing too alarming ...

and all this thanks to ultramag69 who atleast set me off searching in the right direction
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamranh3:
The bluetooth on my phone no longer works, could someone help me? I'm running Core Cell V1.1, with Buzz OC 1.5.1 Kernel 1.1.1, if you want to know a anything else just post a comment, but if possible help me find out what out is?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xl VipeR lx:
oops thanked u by mistake lol, try core cell update to 1.3, im using leedroid personally as it is due an update to 1.3 this week, and also try using kammas lightweight kernal, its much faster and could cure your problem.
[G Tablet General] kewldude151:
I have a quick question. I have TnT lite 2.2 installed on my Gtab. If I plug in a USB thumbdrive, I can find the files on the Gtab. If I use a USB card reader, I cannot see where the files come up. I have gone through every folder, and the reader simply does not show up (yes, with a card in the reader).

Also, do all USB devices work? Where do they show up?

I am used to PC work, so getting used to this tablet is a bit of work:)
[G Tablet General] New2Android:
Try looking for usbdisk folder either using es file explorer or root explorer. Files from usb disk are in there
[G Tablet General] kewldude151:
I tried that folder and it did not recognize the reader. The folder was empty.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
try and reboot and then plug it in. if it still doesn't work, then maybe it just doesn't read the reader. only reads usb drives directly. it would be in the usbdisk folder btw.
[G Tablet General] cybermage1:
Also keep in mind a lot of card readers (if not all) act like a bunch of drives even when there's nothing installed in them. That's why Windows pre-reserves drive letters for every slot on the gadget.

Readers like that may not work due to lack of proper drivers in Android ? Just a guess.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't have a portable SD reader at the moment (time for a DX order, I think). But, I have a microSD reader - one of those pen drives where you can add a microSD to it. That works fine in the VEGAn build, and I believe TnT Lite as well.
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
Tried the card reader for the CF cards from my camera. Had to plug the cable in 2 times but the card was seen and readable.
[G Tablet General] kewldude151:
Was it a dedicated CF card reader or one of the multi readers? I have a multi reader I tried but couldnt get to come up. I am looking into a dedicated reader to see if that works.
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
It was a dedicated CF reader.
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
Since there is more than one slot, and Windows treats them as more than one drive, I would assume that one of the slots gets assigned as /usbdisk and the others are ignored. You are probably using one of the slots that is ignored.

Hopefully when we get the source, we can address these kinds of issues.
[G Tablet General] linesma:
So essentially to get this to work, one needs to have just a dedicated reader for whatever style of memory card in use?
[G Tablet General] TheJesus:
Cryofix in IRC has said that his 5-1 card reader worked. USB hubs work, so I don't see why these wouldn't. If you can, try putting a card in all of the slots to see if one is detected and then you'll know priority. There may be a way to remount the drives to different orders, but I have no idea how you would.
[G Tablet General] muqali:
If you're rooted and have shell access you could manually mount the drives provided they're seen. They should be seen, I've had 6 devices hanging off a hub for mine and other than not knowing how(or not having the driver) to mount the DVD's UDF/ISO filesystem they all worked.
[G Tablet General] gaines:
Count me in among the TnT Lite users who haven't yet figured out how to get their SD card reader to be recognized or mount. Mine has an LED on it that doesn't light up, leading me to believe it's not receiving power. :(

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
I tried to install street view on my n1 but it kept saying installation unsuccessfully. I did clear data of the market in application management. Them reboot but still no luck. I did this methods when I couldn't update my maps app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
Try un-installing Google Maps with Titanium Backup then install both Google Maps and Street view. Should work fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
Yes I think that's what I missed. I'll try and let you know. Thanks though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
Nope. Did not work. Any other ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Errors would help, or at least a log. The most likely cause would be the application is installed in /system and the market installs it to /data. Delete the APK from /system/app, reboot and install from the market.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
Wait. delete which APK. ? I see street.apk but no maps.apk in /system/app/

I just changed some code to make a translucent notification drawer. Now, I'd like to get a translucent touchwiz app drawer. Does anyone have some files and or instruction that I can use to make this happen?

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentalDeath:
Hi,

I am rather new to the G1 section and sorry if this is a stupid question.

I have an unlocked Rogers HTC Dream 9used on Bell) and my current radio and spl are: 3.22.26.17 and 1.33.2005. I was wondering if it is recommended if I upgrade to the new radio (2.22.28.25) and SPL (1.33.0013d). I was wondering what the the advantages (besides the ram increase) of a 2708+ kernel.

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
The ram increase is enough of a reason to update. I also had some random lockups on the 3.xx radio.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentalDeath:
Okay thanks for the info. :D Your input is appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAIRonI:
I wouldn't do it until battery drain issues are resolved, i know it's a problem for a lot of people. Rebooting after unplugging isn't a good answer to the problem either
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] old_dude:
If your existing setup is working fine now, why take the chance of f'n it up for the possible promise of something better?

If, on the other hand, you're existing setup is all f'd up ...or otherwise not working out for you ...then go for it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1rtu0s1ty:
When I take a picture with my captivate in tall position, the picture will be uploaded to Facebook sideways. What is the fix for this?
[Android Software Development] s1mpledesign07:
So I have a mytouch3.5mm. This phone included swype as a default program. Long story short, I am also in the swype beta and received an email saying there is a new version. I didn't know how to remove a core file, so I posted a thread on t-mobile forums. A guy told me to use titanium to uninstall swype that way, so I did. I tried to install the new swype app but I get an error saying it cannot be installed on this device. Also at the beginning of the install it asks if its okay to replace the app. So I look through my files in manage applications and I see one last swype related file. "com.swype.android.inputmethod" I click on it and it says app not found. I'm assuming I cannot install the new swype because my phone thinks this file is still there(the file size is 0.00kb). How do I go about removing that file and getting swype back on my phone? Thanks for any advice you guys may have.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] louie23:
Guys,

I just pirchased Alphalt 5 HD from gameloft but after fully downloading the apk and installing it there's an error saying there's a problem parsing the packge. What should I do to install it. I already checked the option to allow installing applications outside of Market.

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
That usually (for me anyway) means the apk hasnt downloaded properly. Try redownloading it and keep the browser download screen open so it doesnt lose connection.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] tabing:
Hi

I want to download this game but t mobile version of asphalt HD is not available to download. Before i purchased the full asphalt from market and it does not even starts.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] clmntch:
I purchased and returned the full version this morning... it downloaded 155 something megs of data then force closed. Then continued to force close every time I opened the app!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] tabing:
did you bought it from market or gameloft site?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brand12:
hey, I think I briked my phone, X10i and I have tried again and again to reinstall using the Sony Ericsson Update Service, but nothing happens, no phone background light only shines and sometimes flashes.

in my attempt to debrand it so I use:

RootX10i_v2.cmd

I followed all the instructions and managed to get it to install firmware. but after that it will not turn on your phone, either, but just lie and vibrates uncontrollably, until I remove the battery. I then install the firmware using the Sony Ericsson Update Service, it will be as I described earlier.

grateful for the help!
[Defy General] crazyVII:
hey guys.. i'd like to contact motorola and tell them ...

-> what a great phone they built (DEVY) but I also want to ask them

-> what they hell did they tried to do when building MotoBlur? and why they don't create anything more appropriate for such a great phone?

so it came into my mind.. just to get a number of people.. (just the number - no nick- no realnames) which agree to my opinion.. to tell them, that I'm not alone... :=)

a plan?

best regards,

-
[Defy General] jmoore2:
I Like the idea behind motoblur, but i think it could have been implemented better. Also, i have a suspicion that Motoblur is the reason that we wont be getting android 2.2 unti Q2 next year, and thats a terrible thing :O. If they could speed up the android updates then i would love it :L
[Defy General] sarge78:
Well, after spending 3 years with iOS and 5+ months using SenseUI Motoblur came as a real shock. How a company can spend so little on software development/support in this day & age is beyond me?

It's like they got halfway through, realised it was rubbish/pointless and stopped. Mixing stock menus/calander app etc with the ropey launcher/lock screen/'my first widget' design is very confusing.

Still, at least the multi touch keyboard is good and errr.. DLNA and wifi hotspotting I guess.
[Defy General] jmoore2:
I know what you mean lol. The thing with the wifi hotspot app though is that it makes you doubt if you can use it. I turned it on and it said to make sure my network allows it??? :P, This part of motoblur caused a bit of a panic haha. The swype keyboard is brilliant but it took me a while to understand how it works haha
[Defy General] Higgsy:
Blur is generally crap especially the launcher, however some of the apps - the email app for instance for me is very good, its the best email app I've used.
[Defy General] crazyVII:
hahaha :DDD this really made me laugh.. :D you hit the point ;) i just "observed" the ios :) from my girldfriends phone (and some more friends) .. owned an sense ui phone myself (hero) and had just the same thoughts :D hahahaha :) :D really great explanation :D

but i have to confirm.. and also explain :) i also do like some apps :) the music app, the gallery, the keyboard (like sarge78 told us above) works perfectly :) -- the text when a new word is added to the user dictionary stays a little bit toooooooooo long :P, but typing is perfect...) so some applications are really great.

but the whole theme^^ really strange..

(i also like the general design, black and the red background when something is pressed.. but one thing :D the sms button on a contact, is big enough :D but I think it's optimized for chinese people, or at least the smallest fingers in the world :D out there :))
[Defy General] scrannel:
Gosh, Captain America! Is this poll loaded or what!?
[Defy General] Le_Poilu:
I feel divided for Blur.

The launcher is not bad, but there's better elsewhere... lot better.

I don't use all the social stuff (don't have facebook or twitter account, etc) so I can't really say if it's good or worst than a stock android.

But I like some apps loaded with Blur: DLNA, Voicecall, music player, etc

What I really dislike: all the blur services automaticly loaded even I don't want to use all this stuff...

I want the choice to load what I need
[Defy General] Febernacke:
This! I like my new Defy. but I hate that i starts lots of stuff that I don't want/use. I don't care about the stuff that come preloaded but don't start because the phone got loads of space for my apps
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
I definitely have mixed feelings about Blur. Some of it I really love, but it bogs so much and in the end I would rather not have it if everything is going to run so slow and our updates are going to take so long. All in all the defy is a great device, but if Moto doesn't step it up this time with updates I am done after this.
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
Voted dislike. The very first app I downloaded was LauncherProPlus. Bye Bye blur!
[Defy General] Khrushy:
Quoted for great justice.

I just don't use Blur, which would be fine and wouldn't bother me either way, if only it didn't insist on loading all it's processes anyway.
[Defy General] sarge78:
Uhh just checked the number of processes motobloat is running...

52!

My stock desire is running 28... No wonder it lags so badly at times.
[Defy General] Sorensiim:
+1 for installing a different launcher (LauncherPro for me, thanks!) as the first thing after getting the phone :)

Dear MotoBloat: Please go to hell.

If I ever meet the guy who approved Motoblur I'll tear out his kneecaps with a rusty... no wait... I'll force him to use a stock Motorola phone for 24 hours! MUAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
[Defy General] scripttec:
i think the stock-app is better...

at least the push mail worked fine, which i can't say with the blur version :-/

btw. count me in...
[Defy General] Higgsy:
personal preference i suppose, the stock android email app doesn't let you move mails between imap folders the blur one does, thats something i need.
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
Have you tried adding your email(s) to Gmail? I have done that for all my other email address', and it works great. I only have to check one inbox to get all my emails from four different screen names. I use @Gmail, @AOL, @Hotmail, and @MSN.com. If you have to reply, or forward from one of your other address's you can choose to send from Gmail, or the one that it was sent to. You can also tag them, so you know what email is what in your inbox. Very handy.
[Defy General] crazyVII:
;---DDD
[Defy General] Higgsy:
yeah done that in the past. i only really use 1 email account with various aliases (blueyonder.co.uk). Via gmail i could view my mails but wouldn't be able to file them/transfer between my imap folders. i suppose i could just create imap folders in gmail but cant be arsed lol. Cheers for posting the tip.

oh and i dont need push email really, a check once every 30 mins is good for me
[Defy General] shreky13:
Great hardware but after several months with 2.2 on my magic, 2.1 with motoblurp on the defy is a big disappointment give me stock android 2.2 any day.
[Defy General] Behemia:
The ev0l Blur

Like: Some of the mblur apps eg email- love contact thingy especially sync.

Absolutely Despise: The fact that 8million and 1 processes/apps from mb constantly keep coming back despite the numerous attemps ive made to shut them down, eg social networking- the fb contact intergration is nice, but why use a worse version of the pre existing facebook app?

Would like to see: Stock 2.3 with mbloatcontacts and Lpro or something as good :)

Just my 2 pence ;D
[Defy General] mancubus:
Its laggy as hell and was dumped about 5 mins after I had first used it.

Launcher Pro all the way.!
[Defy General] robg274:
motoblur = weak

just got a defy after my hd2 was murdered.... ran android on the hd2 and LOVED it, but wtf is up with motoblur? took me about 5 minutes of owning the defy before i started disabling all the mb features i could.
[Defy General] Dalamak:
didn't like it either, that's why I didn't purchase one till root and recovery were available, and then installed Jboogies backup, forget moto
[Defy General] crazyVII:
thx for all the respones guys :) keep on :D

.. until now. nobody ever defended the motoblur UI .. ;=) interesting.. but some did vote for it ;=) :D

come out guys :=P
[Defy General] Intru:
I hate Motoblur

1.) The privacy policy - it seems like Motorola can collect and sell all your data via Motoblur

2.) Compulsion - I am not free to choose, I can´t get rid of it easily.

2.) Performance - Screen Lag, no Pinch to Zoom, ugly Widgets
[Defy General] psixda:
As always when there is no choice there's a problem.

As soon as I can I'll get rid of it (motoblur, not the defy :-) ).
[Defy General] SimboXXX:
Alright, i'll stick my neck out and say I like MB.

I like the resizable wgts. I like the homescreen layout. I like the '1 click' activation of push services. Sure, I'm not to keen on everything going through Moto's servers but Android isn't really the right option if you want total data 'privacy', anyway, is it?

No lag, if you turn off all animations. I tried LauncherPro - it's good, but not better, I think, and you lose the good wgts, so I stuck with MB.
[Defy General] csell:
did the same, though at first I was pretty upset about MB because I had serious problems with MB's contact import. Deleted all contacts and re-imported through google, now I'm fine. Replaced a few MB widgets by downloaded ones (the MB clock is useless. Retroclock is a leap forward for me), and now am pretty happy.

If I understand Android correctly, those processes lurking in the background dont hurt performance of the active ones at all, so theres no need to worry.
[Defy General] BLACKE30:
What do the animations do? i turned them off and on and i didn't really see anything happen.
[Defy General] SimboXXX:
just some quite poor & jerky zoom effect, that, as you say, is not very noticeable.
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
If you watch closely with them on when you select menus you will see the next screen kind of slide in from the side. If they are off and you select a menu it will be instant.
[Defy General] petermit:
Like the set status, weather and date/time widget but I could sure live without the overall laginess of blur!!!
[Defy General] crazyVII:
the privacy thing.. totally agree :=)

but i like my online contacts.. and believe^^:D in the security of the data.

to the widgets.. the resizeability.. is really a great feature (launcherPro PRO - costs 2,99 can do this do - don't own it)... but i think the widgets just look awful.. but just my personal opinion ... it's a question of what u like.. :=)

somehow they are just too retro for me ^^:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] t3project:
ok, i must be missing something here. can anyone one help? everytime i decompile an apk, i'll open the xml i want to make changes to and make the necessary changes. i then recompile the apk. i flash the file to my phone and no changes have been made. because of this i have pulled the same apk back from the phone that i modified, decompiled it and none of the xml changes i made are incorporated.

i've tried removing the resources.arsc as the instructions say and i just get bootloops after flashing. when leaving the resources.arsc the phone boots and no xml changes are made.

can someone help me out with this?
[Bravo General] jreal:
.. after foolishly trying to apply a Metamorph theme that was meant for the Motorola Defy. It was the Gingerbread theme for the Defy that did it. I was rooted and de-crapified of AT&T bloatware and loving life until this happened.

I am coming from A Samsung Captivate and thats why I had the balls to try it in the first place. I know the theme wasn't made for the Bravo but there are alot of themes that aren't meant for the Captivate that work flawlessly.

I saw similar specs in the Bravo and the Defy (processor, screen resolution, Android build, Motoblur, ect..) and took the risk

NOW I HAVE AN ENDLESS BOOTLOOP!!!!

I know we don't have a custom recovery yet, but is there any way I can get this thing running again?
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Mine is in the same state!

I tried instilling an app meant for the Motorola Droid that allows custom recoverys, and now I'm also in boot loops. Good news though, a friend of mine works at Motorola and signed me up to receive Motorola prototype phones, (that's how I got the bravo) and when my trial was over a new trial started with 2.2 Bravos, I didn't get on it though. But usually they work on the phone, and after the project starts about 2 to 4 months later the finished product comes out.

I'm thinking that the 2.2 update will be released probably the first month of 2011, just my guess, pretty sure sometime around there though. When it's released then that 2.2 sbf will be released also. Someone will take that in, post it on a website like always, then all you have to do is flash it with RSD. But don't you have warranty? If you do, don't wait like me, turn it in and get it fixed! You see, I can't do that because I have the prototype phone, and that thing has no warranty.

But yea thats 2 options for you,

Good luck!
[Bravo General] jreal:
Thanks. I still have the Captivate so I just started using it again. But the Moto just feels better in the pocket to me tho. I guess I can wait a few weeks to see if the 2.2 rolls out. But the warranty part is a no go for me because I bought the phone off EBAY and I don't have the original store/dealer reciept... At least that's the excuse that AT&T are giving me. Motorola doesn't deal with the Bravoo warranty wise because its AT&T labeled. Anyways, someone here at XDA will discover some kinda breakthrough...

Quick question for you... If you boot into recovery, and do the clear user data/factory reset can your Bravo make it to the Moto Setup screen? Mine can for some reason! But just when I am clicking next to set up the wi-fi connections it starts the whole bootlooping again, until I reboot into recovery and clear user data/factory reset all over again..ect.
[Bravo General] MisterKrispy:
How are you getting the wipe/reset options to show in recovery? every time I boot into recovery I just get the little tri-angle and andy. No matter what buttons I push, the options will not show. On my Droid X, you have to push the search button. but those are physical buttons not capacitive like the Bravo.
[Bravo General] MisterKrispy:
well, i don't know what i pushed, but the options showed up.
[Bravo General] smashpunks:
Your smoking crack if you like the bravo over captivate...
