[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICEReaction:
Try flashing the older radio combo first then the other ROMs.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
is anybody else having issues with adfree saying there is an update but it takes forever to update the host file tonight? it's like the app is timing out or something. plus the fact i still have ads in handcent and accuweather.

any solutions guys? im running myns rom and never had this issue before.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raillery:
I had issues as well. I ended up uninstalling then reinstalling. Working like a charm now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
i tried that and no dice. i guess ill wait until morning and see what happens. maybe they are having server issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxsteez:
I'm having the same issues currently. It just times out. I tried over wifi and 3g. I will try and uninstall and reinstall and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alonso_91:
Hey guys I was wondering if anybody would guide me to successfully edit the boot.img and then repack it.

I have tried several times to edit this using the guide found here:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

but every time I repack the boot.img and try to flash it the phone goes in a boot loop.

Any ideas how I can fix this??

Thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
I'm having the same issue, more than likely you'll have to use a hex editor like hex workshop, my problem is i'm not sure where the boot header ends and the kernel begins or where the ramdisk should end and if there are any other pieces in there that need to be separated. Would love it if someone knowledgeable would care to share!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alonso_91:
yes I came across a guide that mentioned the use of hex editors but to be honest I wouldn't even know where to begin with it... I followed the official guide which was posted here in xda as well but i just cant seem to get it right even though I follow the steps in minute detail. Hope somebody is able to help us soon because I want to be able to use adb remount :D

EDIT: I found a link (thanks to freddyemmer) that seems to explain in more detail how to edit the boot.img is kinda general first but then goes into specifics for my device, hopefully the general guide will help you ;)

Hey all ,

I am pretty new to android (came from ios) , and moved right to android 2.2 on galaxy S (GT-I9000) , rooted 2.2 and installed lagfix (OCLF), now , after the lagfix i cant seem to mount the internal sd card , tried to format it , but still no go ...

i dont even get the prompt to use it as storage when connecting to pc/mac...

what seems the problem ?

Thanks.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] Techngro:
So I registered and whatnot at Swype's website, but when I clicked the download link, it says that I don't have an Android phone. Which is technically true, but it's still an android device.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? Or is there a way to get the apk sideloaded.

Thx in advance.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] KrewKracer:
There are other ways to get the apk on your device and I tried some of them.

I didn't get it working!

Problem is the resolution:

Archos 101:

1024x600 - It's the same resolution as the Galaxy Tab which comes with Swype.

But you have to substract some space for the softkeys. So the 'visible area' is something like 980x600.

Archos 70:

800x480 - same resolution as on other devices but also you have to substract the softkeys, i think.

I think at the moment there's no swype version which supports those resolutions! :-/

EDIT:

I only tried on 101.

But to get the beta link working you have to switch off the "Desktop User Agent" in the default browsers preferences.

So you could try on your Archos 70 and report back! :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] hugsrwarmy:
Doesn't work for A32 or A28 because both are based in qvga resolutions. Signed up anyways in case i get an update for it.

Sent from my A32
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] Kashban:
Why would anyone use Sqype on a display larger than 5"? I fail to see the benefit of swyping such long distances in comparison to a good onscreen keyboard like smartkeyboard pro.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] Vegetenz:
Well people without hands can swype with there stumps.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] Krosscheck NYC:
I tried several versions Swype with no luck. SlideIT Pro 2.1 works just like it does on the smartphones. The only problem is that the very far right of the keyboard is covered up by the Android buttons.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] spadeace9:
sywpe

Well you need to use swype for WVGA screens. Looks really nice plus it's faster then regular typing. I use the multi cracked version so no need for beta keys =D
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] Techngro:
What was that? A multi cracked pepper version? Please do tell more...Like

When

Where

How

Why

When
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] zahne:
Forgetting the "why" for a moment. There is evidence that Swype works on the A70:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrXer6bo8iQ

Look at time index 2:14 on this video.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] avlon:
It certainly does work. The keys are huge in portrait and in landscape the . key is almost not visible.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] astrodomine:
I tried the wvga version but keeps FC'ing... I think might be cause of screen size not supported..!!!

I found SwiftKey to be the best and lag free till now...
[HTC Aria General] malloy0:
Hi,

I have a rooted HTC Aria (Liberty) wth Froyo 2.2 on the AT&T USA network. While I love the phone, it seems like the 185MB of internal memory is not as robust and large as what I need, given I frequently get low disk space warnings. I have abut 15MB right now and have moved all of the apps that are posisble to my SD card.

UPDATE....So I am looking for another similar phone that is gnerally not "sold" by AT&T, that could be rooted, run 2.2, and has HTC Sense with larger intermal memory.

Ordered an HTC Desire Z from plemix.com for $550 and now worried it will not do 3G on AT&T...uh -oh...

Comments, thoughts, ideas etc. more than welcome and including how to get some internal memory back.

Thanks,

malloy0
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
If it's the North American version that supports 850 and 1900mhz then you're fine. If not.. then big uh oh.

Edit:

Straight from Plemix.com per Desire Z they sell:

"HSDPA 900 / 2100 MHz (3G Is NOT Compatible In US & CA)"
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
Here is the one you needed to order:

http://www.newayci.com/detail/1220/HTC_A7275_DESIRE_Z_NAM/
[HTC Aria General] malloy0:
kaschenberg...thanks!

As it turned out I called Plemix customer service, spoke with Paul and they canceled the order. WOW! They are in Hong Kong. Talk about service.

So now I will look at ordering the phone at this link

http://www.newayci.com/detail/1220/HTC_A7275_DESIRE_Z_NAM/

Again THANK YOU!
[HTC Aria General] Darius_bd:
.

Oh it was as easy as to run A2SD with moving the dalvik cache to the ext partition. Now I have 512mb to install stuff. With a class 6 memory, there's no lag.
[HTC Aria General] malloy0:
Darius, thanks.

Did some searching on A2SD and found a couple of guides, but wondering if I can tap into what you have already done? Is there one method better / easier then another?

malloy0
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
This is my ONLY gripe about the Aria, will look into A2SD. Desire Z looks like a great phone, it is the G2 on t-mobile here in America.

Check 1st post for revisions & updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
Thanks for the write up. However, can you dumb it down one more level. I started looking at OpenVPN when I realized that the Android VPN was broken. I have configured Windows VPN for my home Windows PC, but I assume that it won't directly work with OpenVPN.

What do I need to do to configure my PC?

I assume once I understand that, I'll also understand what you mean by "An OpenVPN account & Config Files.

I appreciate your help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GuestX00836:
The guide is limited to OpenVPN on the Evo 4G Android platform.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1Brite1:
I have a question also. I am stuck at the Open your openvpn config file & add the following to the last line, then save: 'iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh" step. Is this on the EVO or on the OpenVPN account?

Also, I signed up for the OpenVPN account and am using a Macbook-with Windows 7 installed via Parallels, an iMac and another laptop running Linux Ubuntu. Which program do I download for my setup on the OpenVPN site so that they all work? I don't see one for OSX? I have tried the EVOVPN app and it works great just for the phone....but computers won't hook up even though I have them set up using the same LAN settings.

I am hoping for something that will let me use a secure server using the EVO connecting all of my computers.

Thanks for your help and for the guide and for any advice you could share. Have a great day!
[EVO 4G Android Development] GuestX00836:
Good questions - focus on keeping things simple.

Your OpenVPN provider posts config files to download required for their service to work. Normally no editing is necessary, but for Android it is at least for now (*more on why later).

Their config files package may include many different types of files, look for the one with .ovpn extension (there may be several - server_1.ovpn, server_2.ovpn, etc.); open the file(s) with your text editor; normally the last line of this file is 'auth-user-pass'; create a new last line 'iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh' (without quotation marks) and save. Copy this edited file & any other config files your provider requires to the Evo /sdcard/openvpn folder you created earlier.

The good news is whatever OpenVPN service provider you choose, it should work with whatever device you have. However, each operating system has different requirements, so there are clients specific to each of these OS's. For example, Windows client = openvpn client, Linux = gopenvpn, etc. For the Evo, & Android in general, the client is 'OpenVPN Settings', setup of which is included in the guide. 'EVOVPN' is not 'OpenVPN', we're not sure what it is, they don't offer any support or documentation; advise to stay away until more info is available.

As above, only one service provider is needed, the clients vary by operating system. If you're referring to remotely accessing your other computers via the Evo with OpenVPN running, well yes that works but is not covered here; setup for that would be the same whether or not you use OpenVPN.

*The edit to .ovpn config file is required at this time to let the Android client know which routing table is being used; it may become unnecessary with future updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1Brite1:
Thank you sc10000.....I appreciate your time...nothing more frustrating than asking a question and never getting an answer or one that is so informative. I will try the set-up again...but I see also that you have to pay for the OpenVPN service. I have an OpenDNS account and wonder if that is the same type of service and it is free but not sure if it will work with EVO. I will look into that option also as I know I used to use that for my Linux system. But, as you said, that may be just operating system specific. Again, thank you for elaborating!!! Now, I get it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] realrasengan:
Thanks for the tutorial sc10000. I just wanted to put a little bit of input into the mix.

OpenDNS is quite different from OpenVPN. OpenVPN is strictly for users who need to encrypt their connection and/or connect to another 'network' such as their work or school network. A lot of other people use OpenVPN for other reason (i.e., watch Hulu from another country outside of the US, etc.).

I use Private Internet Access ( privateinternetaccess.com ) as an OpenVPN provider and it works with your tutorial. Other great providers are listed here:

Private Internet Access ( privateinternetaccess.com )

WiTopia ( witopia.net )

Strong VPN ( strongvpn.com )

There are a few others, but I would stick to the big three for safety.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GuestX00836:
Some other great providers not listed above:

Anonyproz - anonyproz.com

blackvpn - blackvpn.com

There are many out there, find one that suits you. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gibby1310:
I keep getting

FATAL:Linux ip link set failed: could not execute external program

I checked the permissions on the files and they are executabled, I checked the iproute-wrapper.sh script and it was looking for ip in /system/bin my EVO did not have it there but it was in /system/xbin so I changed that too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GuestX00836:
I don't recommend changing anything in the scripts or files. Go back to guide & make sure you have completed all the steps exactly. Possibly you have installed something in a different location, etc.

If still not working, then try a different kernel - you did replace the kernel right?

This one is working as of now, with ROM 3.70.651.1

[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
sc10000, what purpose would vpn serve on the cell phone for general usage? I can understand if connecting to a company vpn for access to their network.

What would the application be? Why would I want/need vpn (openvpn) on my android device?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GuestX00836:
Why would you volunteer your unprotected data to anyone who seeks it? :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
Right, but why would I be connecting to my network using the handset? I'd have the vpn client running on my laptop or netbook.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GuestX00836:
vpn is not openvpn. Why would you connect any device to the internet without security?

Big brother is watching. Really. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] enormous:
I was hacking away at this last night, but haven't been successful in getting my vpn connection up and running.

I have copied my openvpn config from my linux box and have gone over the instructions multiple times to verify, but keep getting the following error in the log:

If I comment out the "iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh" from my config file, then the vpn will say it is connected, but I won't be able to access anything.

Any help is appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] GuestX00836:
Most likely a kernel issue, try replacing with one that has known tun.ko support. Do not comment out 'iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh' or it won't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chaseclear:
So I follow these steps EXACTLY yesterday (Evio 1.7.7 rom; Netarchys latest stable kernel) and I was able to connect! The tun.ko I used was one I found i believe for the Desire.. but it seemed to work, and I was able to ping my DB server at the data center.

After a restart last night, today I try and re-connect and continue to get "cannot allocate tun tap dev dynamically"

I checked permissions on tun.ko and openvpn but still having issues. WEIRD that it worked and restart causes it to fail now :(

Any ideas are appreciated as this will be very convenient for work! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chaseclear:
UPDATE: I just flashed Ziggy471's kernel (Jan 21 2011) and rebooted..

I disabled the "Load tun.ko module" from the advanced settings in OpenVPN Settings app, and connected fine again! so it apparently is using the built-in tun.ko driver in the kernel.

Just followed the directions to setup openvpn binary, openvpn settings paths, EXCLUDING the "load tun.ko module" check box and I am GOOOOOOD!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
This issue is always due to your tun.ko file. I see that you used a file from another device; that generally leads to errors; best practice is to use a kernel built for your device that includes tun.ko support, as this must always match your kernel; if so, always check 'load tun.ko'.

Great to hear you got it working!

did you try making a symlink there?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mcbyte_it:
Oh thanks, it works.

Just in case somebody needs to do it, from an ADB shell i typed:

[Vibrant General] yvliew:
I'm not sure what's the problem. I always odin before flashing new rom. The problems I'm having now is, I can't install a certain apps. It will install but it won't show up on my menu list. It's battery left pro. I've been switching and testing rom recently with nero and gingerclone. Doesn't odin wiped everything?

Another issues I'm having is with the data connection. I'm using whatsapp. When I left my phone untouch for a while, my message won't come in, I suspect the data was cut off. This never happened before. It just happened after I've been switching rom between nero and gingerclone.

Please help. Is there anything I'm missing? Is it something still lies in the phone memory? Thanks.
[Vibrant General] miguelmondo:
Not sure about your app not showing up in the menu. Regarding your data problem, check that the app SuperPower is not running or if it is, that the option to disable data when the screen goes off is not checked.
[Vibrant General] EvilPickle:
I have tried both Eugene's and TeamWhiskey's ROM's.. Ginger Clone, OBSIDAN and ONYX. And all 3 have sucked down my battery in about 12 hours flat with me doing nothing to the phone but loading SystemPanel to monitor the CPU and battery. With all the ROM's the CPU usage has been between 3-10% while in idle. zero phone usage. I have refreshed the battery with every new ROM load.

I was previously using TeamWhiskey's 2.1 Bionix Fusion and was seeing between 1-3% CPU usage at idle and had the battery lasting well over 24 hours with minimal use(checking email, couple short phone calls)

Am I the only one having this issue?? Does anyone else use SystemPanel to monitor their CPU usage and can say what their CPU is using during idle??

Thank you for your time and any help/info you may have.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I don't use the modded versions of Froyo but Stock has awesome battery life from my experience. JL5 is looking great as well.
[Vibrant General] EvilPickle:
You or anyone else happen to know where I can find a copy of the stock 2.2 ROM/kernel?? I have an unlocked phone in Japan and it's not supported here, so I wont ever get any updates.
[Vibrant General] grennis:
Yes the custom roms have terrible battery life. They always have. However, the stock roms have terrific battery life. After a long day of heavy usage I am at 50%
[Vibrant General] gongonzabarfarbin:
There isn't really a stock 2.2 Rom for Vibrant because it hasn't been released yet. We have leaked builds (JK2, JK6, JL1, JL4, JL5) that are candidates for release. When they actually release Froyo for Vibrant, that will be your stock froyo rom.
[Vibrant General] regP:
The key to great battery life is using the Stock kernel. Flash that kernel on any ROM and enjoy not having to watch your battery indicator all day.
[Vibrant General] EvilPickle:
yea, just read a thread about people complaining about that. :(

guess I'll just flash back to 2.1..

Thanks for all the help. :p
[Vibrant General] jayprime:
I flashed nero v2 w/ voodoo and i reset the battery stats, and now im having trouble draining the battery down to nothing.

Fear the beard...
[Vibrant General] EvilPickle:
Pretty sure I have flashed the stock kernel.. is there any way to tell what kernel im on? phone just says 2.6.32.9
[Vibrant General] EvilPickle:
I'll give it a try.. nothing to lose. :)
