Did you try holding down the volume buttons while putting the battery back in? Had a bit of a brick yesterday and that put it straight into download mode without even showing the vibrant logo.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flak_Munky:
You were trying to load a 2.1 nandroid restore onto a 2.2 kernal. Nandroid does not restore the kernal so you would have to install one separate from the nandoid if you want to try it again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zylograth:
in order to restore your nandroid backup you would have to first flash a 2.1 ROM, preferably the one you are restoring from, whenever I am changing versions, 2.2 to 2.1, I always Odin back to JFD and build up from there.

Kernel flashing questions

I have flashed numerous roms but have never flashed just the kernel. Do you flash it just like you would any zip file? Can I use CWM to flash using the flash rom from sd card method? If I decide to not use the kernel I just flashed can I just flash the rom over it(assuming it has its own kernel)? Sorry for all of the questions I have researched it and still do not have a clear enough understanding to try to flash a kernel at this point in time. Any and all help is absolutely appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flak_Munky:
Thanks button right next to the quote >.<

I'm used to the quote being on the left.

Anyway, you can flash just the kernel. Check the Development section. There are some out there (Eugene has a bunch as do others). Depending on how they packaged the kernel, you would either flash with CWM or through Odin. The different ROMs typically come with the kernel, so you could just flash a 2.1 ROM and then nandroid back to what you had, or flash just the kernel, then nandroid.
[EVO 4G General] PPCUserT:
so i just updated to the newest version on my EVO and my swype is force closing non-stop.

Background info - I was an official swype beta tester and had the most recent swype beta installed prior to update install

I noticed on the change log that this update was supposed to include swype (after the fact, of course).

So i had swype beta installed when i said yes to the update.

Do you think because i had the beta installed during the update messed it all up?

I uninstalled the beta and there is no trace of swype on my phone. when i reinstall swype beta, it crashes.

any help would be appreciated! i miss my swype.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
So lemme get this right. You received the new update already. Get in contact with a dev so it can be pulled from your phone and distributed to the rest of us. Lol

anyway, can anyone help with me swype issue?
[EVO 4G General] aph:
Go to Applications, Swype, Clear Data. If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it. If that doesn't work, try clearing cache and Dalvik cache from recovery.

If it still doesn't work downgrade to a previous version ROM. Or use Ultra Keyboard, which is leaps and bounds better than Swype.
[EVO 4G General] cruise350:
Try this: system/lib via root explorer and delete the libswype.co

Yeah me too im a official swype beta tester and i had have the latest swype and my swype just stop.working it does not swype no more ill post my update if you guys want it
[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
Son of a...This is confirmed. Just downloaded the update (before I came here) and now Swype is stuck. I was also a tester and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Beta version but that has not worked. I suppose a warning from HTC might have been appropriate, given the popularity of Swype and the fact that they just did a Beta release! Lesson learned. At the very least, come over here and see if anyone else has had any trouble. DOH!

Update: It's a fairly simple fix. Just uninstall the Swype Installer and Swype itself, then shut down and restart. It should just reboot with the new Swype in place.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
if you guys are official swype beta users like myself then you should know one of swype's main rules is DON'T INSTALL SWYPE ON A DEVICE THAT COMES PRELOADED WITH SWYPE.

Swype force close resolved

I had the same issue, I updated my Evo and my Swype kept force closing. I also had the beta installed. Don't panic though, after I spent some time with the worthless Sprint level 2 tier tech support they told me I had to master reset my phone and I refused to do that, so I dug a little deeper on my own. What I did was uninstall the beta and uninstall the Swype Beta installer and reboot your Evo. Once my Evo came up I was able to select Swype from within the messaging app. Swype works like a charm and there is no force close anymore. Hope this resolved your issue.
[EVO 4G General] Staychizzo:
Pretty lame because the beta latest swype was 2.15.. and now we have to use 2.7.. that comes with the new stock Rom. They should push updates directly through the app itself instead of waiting for manufactures to load a month old version in a new Rom.. :/

StayEVO
[EVO 4G General] aph:
Agreed it's pretty crappy hopefully some of the rom makers can figure out a way for us to use the latest version

Spoken from my Evo using Ultra Keyboard and XDA App
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Well swype fixed the problem, open the updater and you should have no problems putting swype on any custom rom
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
I got my WP7 Device from Orange on the 22nd of october a day after the release of wp7 in the UK. does anyone have orange maps working on their phone? i got the panther contract as i often use sat nav and this was one of the main reason why i went onto this contract. however since ive had my device when i try to get orange maps to work it always says, "coming soon" im beginning to feel a little bit cheated now as thats one of the reason why im paying for this contract but not getting the orange maps features. im told its because its wp7 and its not ready yet, but should i be compensated for this? paying for something which they are not supplying? unless anyone out there has it working on their wp7 device??
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i think you should call them and tell them to refund you for the service as you're not being provided it as of yet. ask them to unsubscribe you from it, and to notify you when it's up, and you'll resubscribe then.
[Windows Phone 7 General] habylab:
Yeah, I would do that. I mean, you can always phone them up and ask for it back. Just phone them at tell them to cancel it, Orange are great with things like that.

Hey guys ...

I recently saw this video on adobes website,

adobe.com/devnet/devices/articles/htchero.html

Basically the developer is playing flash content and movies / trailers on different websites, example movies.yahoo or addictinggames

anyway ... I tried these sites on my Htc Hero and was wondering why I can't play the flash content on my phone ...

My phone has the CyanogenMod-6.1.0 with the Flykernel 12pre2

Can somebody confirm that these sites work on your htc hero ?

if not .. any ideas for getting the flash content to work on the phone?

thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ufjay5:
First, let me say that I am new at this (which will become very apparent). I renamed my clockwork backups so they could be easier to decipher (I kept the date but deleted the numbers at the end which I assume is the time) and when I tried to recover I received an error message saying MD5sum do not match. Is there a way to go in to that particular back-up file to find the original name so I can match it back and do a proper restore? Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oriundus:
I'm afraid recovering the original name from the file itself won't be an option. You however can check if there is any logging from your backup software that contains the original name of the backupimage. Also you can rehash md5 and paste the checksum (hex) over the existing hash, is there some sort of recover file that calls the checksum ? If so, you need to overwrite the checksum there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ddgarcia05:
After reading the post above it looks like your f-ed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KarlosTheJackal:
There is a way around it that "sometimes" works. Its a long shot but better then no shot!

* Create a new backup (doesn't matter what off just do it)

* One you have created a new backup open to view the files in windows

* copy & replace the old backup files with the new ones

* Boot back into clockwork & try restoring with the new backup you just created.

Basicly what your doing is after making a new backup is replacing the files in the backup folder with the old files. This has worked a few times for me when I first started making back-ups & never realised that renaming it would be a bad idea.

Hope this helps you get your back-up back!
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Since the merger we now have stock RUUs and ROM images in the same forum.

I don't know for sure what happens if you try and flash one on the "wrong" phone, e.g. the G2 RUU on a DZ, or a DZ ROM on a G2. Given they have different stock hboots and hence different stock partitioning, it's not a good idea. Anyone know what happens though (I'm not asking someone to try it for me right now, just wondering if anyone tried in the past) ?

I was just wondering if we should perhaps get some warnings put up in the posts on the stock ROMs to make it clear not to flash these on the "wrong" phone.

Any thoughts ?

P.S. Flashing custom ROMs on either phone is fine, just in case I've confused anyone here. It's just a complete stock image including hboot etc that I'm talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:

Ok all threads now contain a warning. I will post an announcement later in hopes that ppl will make this a standard. Thanks for your help!
[G2 and Desire Z General] philicibine:
Surely it shouldn't matter.

They are the same phone, and the ruu flashes everything, so surely it will just re-partition the phone to its own requirements??

Edit: only prob I foresee, would be flashing a sense ruu to a g2. Because if the ruu doesn't re-partition the phone, the sense ruu won't fit.

Correct me if I'm wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
It would be good to know this for sure. There's an hboot in the ROM image and I'm not sure that anyone has tried flashing the "wrong" hboot to their phone. It might works as you say, but then again it might end up with a brick.

The hboot contains references to the partitioning but I'm not sure a ROM flash actually repartitions the storage. I would love to know for certain.

Right now, I think it's best to stay on the safe side :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] philicibine:
Im sure when i rooted my first dz .. i used visionary.. and then flashed a g2 engineering hboot.

Im sure at the time that was the only one available.
[Nook Color General] MrOtsKrad:
*crap wrong section, mod plz move, sry all*

Is anyone else seeing this? Its fully rooted, everything works perfect, but Ive tried 4 different launchers now, and all of them crash the home screen (screen goes black after hitting "create/addshortcut", then resets to the home screen) when I create a shortcut.

I can put everything on the desktop other than shortcuts.

I first noticed it with LauncherPro when I was trying to change shortcuts on the toolbar (to get rid of the phone, contacts, etc) and every time I would try to change it, it would crash, but I was able to change the icon.

GDE is so far the only one that allows me to change icons on the tool bar, but still crashes if I try to add anything to the desktop.

I hope its something stupid Im missing, although, I have found ways around it, its jsut something thats botherin me like a pebble in my shoe lol
[Nook Color General] Pinesal:
Well there is something missing on the NOOK that prevents this from happening. No home app will bring it back. I think the missing component is called "picker" or something like that and just like the market and other Gapps, someone will have to figure out how to add it.
[Nook Color General] MrOtsKrad:
Ah ok, as long as its something thats not working as intended. I must of missed it reading along here somewhere. I did find a way around it with Zeam and App organizer

Zeam allows you to drag icons to your tool bar, then you can drag them from the tool bar to the desktop with no crashing.

And app organizer allows Widgets that act as folders to be created, and widgets have no problem being added
[Nook Color General] kevkranker:
Or you can just hold onto the program icon for a few secs and that will alow you to drag it the desktop.
[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
I'm able to drag apps straight from the app drawer to the desktop with Zeam. Perhaps you're talking about something else though.
[Nook Color General] tokyomonster:
I found a work around for this. Since I've seen the question brought up every few days, I'll make a wiki article on this as well.

Requirements:

Desktop Visualizer: http://www.appbrain.com/app/desktop-visualizer/jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr

Icons for the shortcut you're making [not necessarily required, you can pick an existing app and use that apps icon for the shortcut as well]

Steps:

1. Long press desktop on launcher of choice

2. Add widget

3. Pick the desired widget size from the Desktop Visualizer options

4. Set your icon in Desktop Visualizer

5. Hit the Select Action button in Desktop Visualizer

6. Hit 'Other'

7. The menu you're now at should have the options that would normally be accessible from the shortcuts menu

8. Find the shortcut, finish up in DV, and voila, you're done.

Are you running an i9000 rom? If so, probably, same as any other i9000 modem. Also, digital tv, etc is part of the rom, doesn't mean it's a different phone. The Roger's Captivate doesn't have any AT&T bloatware apps, doesn't mean it's a different phone.

Hi!

When I'm at work, I'm 14 days on an oil rig, while my cell phone lies at home.

Forgot what frequencies I had set in the profiles but I was using on demand scaling.

I had charging/full oc'd, screen off between the lowest and something around 450, batt < 30% same thing, and temp > 50c between lowest and 768

I'll reinstall it now and set your profiles and see if that helps.

stick this file in sdcard

then menu device selection

Show other frequency sets

scroll down to Custom Frequencies

and it should work fine from then on in with steves O/C kernels( you only need do it once)

and it will set from 248 -1194Mhz if you want to add the extras over voltage O/C clocks from 1.51 then you can edit the setcpu.txt manually.

Double click the new zip file to view the contents. Do not extract it. Just replace the file in the zip interface. Then change the extension back to apk, copy it back to your phone, reboot, and profit.
