[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCrew:
It's not a ROM Manager issue, and the fix for SLCD is pretty well documented on this and other forums. Problem really is what you're seeing in the news - fragmentation of the Android platform where you have multiple flavors running on multiple versions of hardware and no two are always the same - even in the same product lines.

Once you get Clockwork on, and the SLCD fix, ROM Manager works fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captndisaster:
still having troubles

I have tried the method above as well as other methods of installation from the SD card, but the clockwork fix just goes blank once I select something and when I installed Amon_RA it completely froze up....Any suggestions?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exoplasm:
Is there an easy way to merge contacts on the phone? For example, I have a couple hundred contacts I copied from my SIM card to the phone. Is there an easy way to link these to GMail contacts (they don't already exist in GMail) or do I have to manually create a new contact, and link them for each one?

Also, on another Vibrant of mine, I have the reverse problem. All of the contacts are GMail/Facebook linked, but not Phone. So I can't set custom ringtones for any of them. Is there an easy way to make them also on the phone so I can set ringtones?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
I hated having to store existing contacts to phone just to set up custom ringtones, thankfully 2.2 fixes this. Also, theres an import/export option, if it saves the contacts to a .csv file than you can import those to gmail like that.

My advice..root and upgrade to JL4 2.2 stock firmware. everything works and battery life has been great for the past 4 or 5 days.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exoplasm:
Good to hear. I wonder if this is an issue in all pre-2.2 android phones, or just samsung?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
Nope it was not an issue on my g1. I think you could assign custom ringtones back in 1.5 using stock dialer...its just touchwiz as far as I know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SMS92:
Hi all,

Here comes my most newbie-esque of questions. All searches yield results of people asking how to switch them or import them but none have actually explained the technical stuff behind them and why switching to a larger one is sometimes considered an advantage?!

If 1GB is better than 256mb for example, why don't all chefs ship their builds with a 1GB image?

I'm currently on DarkStone1337's latest SuperRAM 1.5 and have seen plenty of people talking about custom/other data.imgs in the thread. I don't want to clutter that up so figure a new thread could help people like myself who are wondering about data.img's on Android!

Cheers!

Hi all,

Here is my dilemma, I want to run an app X (e.g. Paper Toss) but it requires capability Y (e.g. my location or phone identity) that compromises my privacy and is not really needed for the core functionality of the app.

It would be great to be able to wrap the app with security wrapper that will allow me to control what actually signals it has access to and what other it just gets fake data (similar to Google Latitude that allows you to set an arbitrary fake location).

Any thought? How feasible it is to implement?

I would think that this is doable, at least with the AOSP based ROMs such as CM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zurpher:
I would appreciate such a privacy-enchancing feature.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 7057:
I'd like to see such a feature too. A lot of apps seem to ask for permissions that have nothing to do with the core functionality of the app. See the Wall Street Journal article on smart phone privacy (can't post a link yet) for examples.

I think it would be a good idea to suggest this to CM to see if they would include it. Would you be able to develop this?

[Samsung Mesmerize] lacrizzle:
Does anyone have any info on getting Kies to work on the Mesmerize?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
I have tried.

All of what I have seen about Kies is that it is not a NA offering and mainly EU. Samsung has message that software not avail in this country. I am only seeing instances of people using it on i9000's and such (still learning the sub categories of Galaxy 9's)

But if it is possible this would be the place to learn. Loved XDA back in my WinMo days. 3 days into Android land from Crackberry and wondering what took me so long to jump the fence.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
They did release a KiesMini for some of the US versions, but sadly we Mesmerize folks still get no love. We will have to wait and see what Q1 brings to see if we get a Kies for us or if we just get an OTA. The minute I see something come across the line, I will post it (as long as it's nothing that would get me fired anyway).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] haihazin:
Hello,

I have a LG Optimus One, when I receive a call or message the contact name can't show it only show the number, off course contact available at the contact list. (The contact list I sync from Gmail contact)

I don't know the problem is my phone or firmware? How can I fix it?

Pls help me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
I had similar problem - it shows wrong contact name and picture becouse it takes contacts from SIM card. Try backup contacts, remove all from SIM and copy contact directly into phone (using for ex. MyPhoneExplorer). Then restart phone.

It strange, but I didn't find another way. Also try enable/disable contact viewing optipons in menu. There is many options and after some time it started works fine on my OO, but I'm not sure what I done directly. Anyway these steps helped me.
[EVO 4G General] Jinra321:
I loved swype, it made everything so much easier. I always used a hacked version on my evo because it wasn't supported on it (now i see they have it with OTA update), so when i heard the beta was reopened again i was ecstatic. I thought "hey I can get an updated legit version of swype!" So i registered and set everything up, but when i get to trying to install it tells me "Your device already has swype through the OTA update!" Since I'm rooted and on a custom rom, I couldn't get the OTA update. So i just said whatever and uninstalled the swype installer and and reloaded my previous hacked swype.

Now when I try to use swype it says "Swype trial is over please download new version". Now mind you, i've been using my version of swype for months without any problems, but when i tried to install from the beta, its now detecting it and blocking from using it.

I went from loving swype to hating it more than anything else on my phone, including FC's

/end rant
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Uh... it's not that big a deal, calm down and get the APK.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
It should only fc when you have the wrong version and it's not hard to get a new swype. Just ask the subscribers from my channel lol
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:

[EVO 4G General] letshaveDEX:
Unless you haven't noticed, 2.4.44 doesn't work anymore on any phone. I noticed it this morning.
[EVO 4G General] jickey:
I'm in the same boat - I'm running MynWarm and the beta version expired last night around midnight for me. I downloaded the new beta installer and it said that Swype for Evo was included in the latest OTA - doesn't help me at all since I'm not running stock.

Does anyone have (or can they post) the APK that came with the latest OTA? I really need my swype back...
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
The version of Swype you are trying to install has expired all the hacked versions have an experation date along with the beta versions. You need to get the new APK with a later experation date or go to a rom based on the 3.70.
[EVO 4G General] ogcidman911:
I found a working Swype for my Unrevoked 3 rooted Evo at Droidappz site.

Works just fine....Thank you. I'm welcome.
[EVO 4G General] Righteous Joe:
Soooo your complaining cause a hacked up version of Swype(warez) is giving you a hard time now that your trying to use the legal version? Maybe you should send that question to Swype and see if they could help you out lol.
[EVO 4G General] Iceman1199:
I can co-sign on this one. Works perfectly....no problems installing.....good looks.
[EVO 4G General] dis_dj_sin:
or he can just uninstall the beta swype like I have and re-flash a 3.70 rom.

I tried deleting the apk from the 3.70 rom itself but it didn't work.. and the beta swype kept force closing. So be gone with you beta swype! The swype with the rom is the same exact thing man
[EVO 4G General] TF1984:
Wow, how amazing the ignorance. First, a billion people complain that they can't get swype cause it's beta only.

Then Swype goes OFFICIALLY live on the Evo, and people start to complain about that.

For one, there are exactly three roms available at the moment that have the OTA update and Swype built in.

For two, don't complain that you can't get it cause you're rooted. There are always going to be pros and cons to rooting or not.

Get over yourself.
[EVO 4G General] Tibedabeeto:
LOL, I tried the same thing and recieve the same error. Since I am part of the Beta testers I figured the new one that was released is newer than the one on 3.70 Roms. But since I could not get it to install even after removing it from the system/app dir I gave up and just using the one on the 3.70 rom.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
The reason why y'all get taht error is because they are not going intsall the latest version of Swype for you when you have the option to get the latest version through the OTA. Just go back and push the latest version of Swype from the OTA and just wait for the next update.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
That's a crappy situation and in this case I'm inclined to say just grab the Swype apk from the latest OTA ROM. You can just download the version posted on this forum, open up the zip and navigate to /system/apps (I think that's it) and grab it.
[EVO 4G General] Righteous Joe:
Totally agree with you, the OP says he hates swype because he installed a pirated version of it, just to avoid waiting for it(I have wanted swype for months but I kept waiting in line in the beta program, but then guess what it got included in the Evo Rom.) Your grudge is not with Swype, first of all there software is in beta which means they have no obligation to provide to anyone, but who they choose, secondly its been slowly made available to a wide range of devices, all you have to do is wait for it to come to yours, or wait for it to hit the market, and then you can either buy it or pirate that again.
[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
Some of you that are having problems installing may want to check /system/lib for a swype file, I forget the name libswypecor.lib or something like that ... if its in there delete it and you may have your problems solved. Not guaranteeing it will work for everybody but it worked for me. I was able to install latest beta (not through swype installer) if you are trying to install the OTA try grabbing the lib file and the .apk I had FC on the OTA but after deleting ... adding the lib and installing the apk all worked fine. I grabbed the lib and apk from one of the stock roms in the dev section.
[EVO 4G General] sanjsrik:
I can sort of understand the frustration in that the new beta claims to support "android" devices, and when an evo user (who can only try to download using Wifi) tries to download the apk from the beta program, it says, it's an Evo device and it's available as part of the OTA update.

Unfortunately, that would mean that it would force people to either wait for a rooted ROM (which isn't too long in coming from what I'm seeing) or seeing if anyone extracted the Swype apk from the OTA ROM and made it available separately (ahem) which is not allowed to be posted here at XDA (or wasn't, perhaps since this is now part of a released ROM this has changed).

It's frustrating, but not impossible.
[EVO 4G General] t3project:
The swype ota is all over this forum for dowload as a flashable zip. Just do a search. Hell its even included with my themes.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
What are you talking about? Rooted roms based off of the 3.70 updated gave been out since the 18th, if not before. Sprint lovers, mikfroyo, froyo ReEngineered are just the first three that come to mind. All if these have the new swype included.
[EVO 4G General] sanjsrik:
*sigh*

Which was in my comment that you'd have to wait until a ROM was created with the Swype, MikFroyo which so far is the most stable one I've used has a copy of swype in it. The others I found were a little less than stable. Once Myn's ROM is updated, I'll switch back to that.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
Yup. The problem is, when you remove Swype using Root Explorer and then install the latest version, it FC's.
[EVO 4G General] shdwboy:
I messed my beta version up using a morph. Long story short I uninstalled and couldn't install beta anymore. Downloaded mikfroyo used bit zipper to open it up. Pulled the swype apk and installed to my evo.
[EVO 4G General] Envynet:
Just google ppc geeks swype and problem solved
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
For those of you getting the "Install the OTA version" from the installer, just navigate to /sdcard/Swype. The new beta is downloaded there.

[EVO 4G General] KiamatDusk:

[Droid X General] phone whore:
can someone help me if possible on how to go back to the out of the box stock rom on my X from rubix focused 1.6
[Droid X General] chaoslimits:
You will need to SBF back to stock.

Instructions from Rootzwiki:

Download RSD Lite (credit to MyDroidWorld)

Install the RSDLite 4.8 program by double clicking on the program

Unzip the SBF into a folder. (Download Above)

Open RSD Lite and find the UNZIPPED SBF

Put your Motorola Droid X into bootloader. (turn phone off and hold volume down and the camera button while pressing the power button)

Click start and sit back.

Note: after the flash will need to boot into recovery (hold volume down and the home button) and wipe data and cache.

You must use the right SBF file for your system version. You can find that in Settings/About Phone.

Nice tutorial!

The only thing I would say is I don't think you need to use Rom Manager with clockwork on the D2. I've heard other people who've installed Rom Manager with recovery and it screws up the Bootstrapped recovery. Everything you need to flash will go through boot strap so the only use for it on the D2 is just to download stuff.

[Droid 2 Android Development] hammergunner:
well in the city and where i live i get about good download speed, normal upload for low end carrier.

in the outta parts like the sticks i get 1x speeds but data none the less.

and No this is not for the Droid 2 global, that would seem like a sim card based phone. so im guessing its GSM which means it can be unlocked to work with any sim card base network

And ive done this flash about 13 times already and rom manger and bootstrap all seemed to play nice. i did flash the clockwork recovery before i install bootstrap just so i could get to the recovery menu.
[Droid 2 Android Development] eastwood1:

[Droid 2 Android Development] hammergunner:

[Droid 2 Android Development] Tumor22:
[:

One question, after flashing to Cricket. How would you go by and updating the system? Cause i could imagine auto updating it would interfere with the flash..
[Droid 2 Android Development] hammergunner:
well that would depend on your rom, most rom's faze out the auto update and ever needing it.

And then there's clockwork recovery that's flashed to the phone itself.

clockwork will never allow a carrier update it will always block it and ask you to reboot your phone.

so either way there's no auto updates going to happen, so i would say your safe from the auto update feature in the phone.

But if your rom doesn't have the auto update disabled, your going to get naged to death by it.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Tumor22:
Oh i got you. And any Rom works with flashing over to Cricket?

-Thanks for replying quickly Lol[:
[Droid 2 Android Development] hammergunner:
yup any rom will work, so you can install a rom and just try it out for a few hours before you even get to setting it up web and mms

but even if you install new roms, your talk and text will always work right out of the box with any rom since writing of the MDN and MIN numbers are in the phones main system or a kinda bios, so you can alway try before you keep. And sometimes you can set up more then one rom for full cricket settings and just switch between if you wanted to.
