[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Oh thanks and good to know. This would probably explain why I always get boot loops when I try to put my framework into the mod lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
I used the files that lllboredlll put into his Incredible rom. Wasn't that ported specifically for the Incredible. I have not experienced any boot loops when using this on the Inc framework. I initially tried to utilize what was in Redemption (Evo hybrid) and THAT put me into a boot loop.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwolf77:
Just wanted to give a personal thanks to Spence341 for all his help and hard work!! And thanks to all the developers that made this mod possible. I wish I was half as good as they are with this stuff!

Great theme Spence341. I took your files and fonts and added them to my framework and ran it through the kitchen again so I have it all zipaligned and everything. Runs smooth as butter and looks very awesome! Even the wife wanted it on her phone!

Thanks again
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
All the credit goes to lllboredlll and JsChiSurf. They did the development... glad it worked for you. Love to see some screen shots when you are done.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzerker7:
Yes. It won't bootloop, but what they didn't tell you/refused to tell you is that they kanged the EVO stuff that jschisurf made for his *EVO* in the first place. They "ported" this by copy and pasting smalis, rather than the code itself. Thus making it an EVO framework. They just kanged the entire framework-res, didn't even copy files. If you look into the AndroidManifest, it has permissions for WiMAX.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
So the mod you have in your theme thread, is it strictly Inc framework? What are the negatives to using it as it is is "kanged" (that's a term I haven't heard in a while). I was trying to achieve what I wanted with my limited ability.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzerker7:
It's pretty much about 99% Inc framework, ported *the right way* by ihtfp himself. It's just nice not to have EVO framework on your phone if you're not using an EVO, no? He also added a few more features, such as an updated look and not needing the txt file (that's not released yet though).

Im not looking to root just want to restore my phone. Can someone please help me?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICEReaction:
Try to download and install an official RUU then. Pick the build version that matched the build of your phone before you tried rooting....assuming it might be 3.30.651.3?? since your HBOOT is 2.02.

Supersonic Shipped ROMs

EDIT: You followed the steps in post 1 of that root method thread right? I didn't see it mention anything about continuing if you encountered errors?? But if you said you wiped the phone and the ROM didn't load properly, then you prob don't have a ROM installed and encountered errors during root...you might also not be NAND unlocked. So if you can run the RUU, it should put you back to stock.

[Droid 2 Global General] Firedrake1:
So, i was rooted before the update and it unrooted me. I saw a lot for people used z4root to reroot but for me it isnt working. I have ran it probably 8 or 9 times just to be sure. I says that it is accessing the shell, the the screen goes white for a few seconds and it reboots. Once it reboots i am still unrooted. I tried the temporary root just to be sure and that doesn't work either. Anyone else? The first time i rooted it via the android terminal. I havn't tried that again yet...

Thanks in advance!
[Droid 2 Global General] evilp8ntballer7:
make sure you are using the newest apk for Z4root which I think it is 1.3.0 and make sure usb debugging is checked in the phone settings, and also do a battery pull and put it back in and then try it again.

It worked for me after the update.
[Droid 2 Global General] Firedrake1:
Definitely am using the newest z4 and made sure debugging was on. I just said "screw it" like 15 minutes ago and did the whole thing through the terminal again. What a pain, but at least it works. Rooted.
[Droid 2 Global General] Patgt500:
Z4root worked for me after the update, weird.
[Droid 2 Global General] Firedrake1:
Yeah i even tried installing the app through the browser and both the official and beta releases of the sideload wonder machine. Then, just to cover all of my bases, i tried older versions of z4. I guess this thread may help others who have the same issue as me but it doesn't sound like anyone else is?
[Droid 2 Global General] Patgt500:
Although I had to reboot after installation before it would work.
[Droid 2 Global General] Master Turkey:
Installed the update while crossing my fingers. It removed root. Just reran Z4root and then rebooted. Fine and dandy.

[Nexus S General] zeiroe:
Just thought I'd pass this along. If this is common knowledge then let the thread die.

Just a heads up, we all know that unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone. What I didnt realize is that it wipes EVERYTHING ... even your internal sd card. So to save heartache from lost pictures and backups, It might be a good idea to leave the bootloader unlocked for now.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
you mean to say to keep the bootloader locked ;)
[Nexus S General] zeiroe:
or that too =D
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
but ya, it wipes data as a security precaution
[Nexus S General] zeiroe:
Im just sad because I lost my priceless perfect picture of a full on double rainbow all teh way yesterday here in southern cali :(
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Beyond this being a pre-emptive "security measure" in place by Google, I suppose they figured the first thing someone who wants to unlock the bootloader would do when they got the phone would be.. unlocking the bootloader. lol

Subsequent wipe does not touch the internal SD partition, though. So if you have to wipe to install a new ROM, you will still keep your stuff.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Must be something new due to the built in mass storage cause the nexus one did not touch the memory card when unlocking the bootloader. Definitely good to know!
[Nexus S General] jankyboy:
Nice one!

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Troggie81:
I'm sure some of you are aware of these cases available for other phones (I had these for my Blackberrys and loved them!). Well, I see that they're starting to pop up on eBay! I wasn't sure if these would be made for a slider phone (especially our Z-hinge) but I guess they figured it out.

I already ordered a clear one from someone in California. It was only around $6. There are less expensive ones, but they are all shipped from China and can take a LONG time. I'll be sure to post some pics and impressions when it comes in.

Another bonus is that they usually come with a pretty good screen protector.

Here's a link to an eBay search:

G2 Crystal Gel, Epik, TPU Case
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Anartic:
I have an Epik case for my MyTouch 3G and I loved it. Would've loved it a lot more if the clear case didn't become yellow after a while :/ give us a review of the clear case after you get it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Troggie81:
The clear one I had for my BB Bold started to yellow/brown a little too. I probably should have ordered a smoke colored one, but I just hate to cover the G2 design. Maybe the formula has changed since then and it won't yellow. If not, it's not like they're that expensive, so I'll just get a smoke.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Troggie81:
Here it is!

I received my TPU case today and I can honestly say that this is my favorite case so far. The entire inside edge of the case has a slight edge that keeps it on the phone. This means that the phone is always open just a bit, but also that the 2 halves are flush all the way around except for the middle top and bottom.

With the keyboard out, the two halves of the phone actually rest on the case instead of the little rubber pads built in. It's actually quite nice since it's the same on the front and back, and it's a long stable surface. Feels like there's less wiggle both open and closed.

The volume, camera, and power buttons are covered, but the case is raised in those areas so you can still feel where they are. The volume and camera buttons are still easy to press, but the power button takes a lot of force to push. This is probably due to the stiffness of the case and small size of the button. I might try gluing a tiny plastic shim on the inside of the case there to make it easier to press. In the mean time, I just added a shortcut to lock it on my home screen.

I don't like the shape of the cutout for the touch screen. I would prefer the top of the opening to not cover around the speaker, even though there are cutouts for that and the light/proximity sensors. I'd also like the bottom of the screen cutout to follow the curvature of the screen instead of being so squared off.

I wasn't so sure about the argyle pattern on the back, but I kinda like it now. It's rather subtle at certain angles. The clear looks good except for a couple spots on the front where it looks a little dull or matte from the inside. I may end up ordering a smoke colored one later on if this one starts to discolor (like paste cases of this material have before).

Overall, I highly recommend these cases!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Anartic:
Very nice pictures, are the cutouts on the case in the best position? This was also a small problem I had on my MT3G case at the camera where it was offset a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Troggie81:
The cutouts are perfect as far as I can tell. Front and back speakers, light/proximity sensors, camera/flash are all exact. The headphone and usb cutouts are a bit larger to accommodate accessories. Also, the mic cutout comes around to the front a little, I'm guessing to lessen interference.

Volume, camera, and power are raised on the outside and hollowed out a little on the inside. The power button's hollow is just a little too deep, recquiring more pressure to push the button.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eep02b:
I had this case in blue and hated it. The power button needs an extreme amount of pressure to work. You almost need two hands just to turn the device off and on. I'm sending mine back for a refund.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] OMV:
I have this case in smoke on my desire z right now and I am a bit torn between it and my previous clear plastic case.

Coverage is great (much better than the amazon plastic cases) and the cutouts fit perfectly. The tpu material feels good. The problems are:

- It is thicker than the cheap plastic cases. This is not a major issue, but I wish it was thinner.

- It intrudes into the keyboard area and makes the top row harder to access. This also prevents the kb from opening all the way, so the advantage of the z hinge in making the kb more flush with the screen is lost. This is my major gripe.

- Like others stated, the hardware buttons are hard to press through the case.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Troggie81:
It's a little thicker than the other clear plastic cases, but I think it feels so much better without all of the gaps and edges. So for me it's worth it.

I don't think the intrusion is that bad, just something to get used to. I thought that the z-hinge was supposed to just keep the phone thinner overall, not just for when the keyboard is out.

The only button I had a hard time pressing was the power button. The camera one is easy, volume is a little more difficult but prevents accidental presses (which I like). The power button was definitely a problem though. I "fixed" it by cutting a slit along the top and bottom of the raised button. That made it easier to press. Then, I cut 2 small strips from an unused matte screen protector and used them as a shim by sticking them to the under-side of the button on the case.

Those extra steps might not be worth it for some people, but I'm okay with it for a $6 case. I also did the spring hinge fix from another thread, so I kinda like messing with stuff anyway.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatesmarch123:
I am curious about the latest JL1, JL4, and JL5 modems only. I have experienced a significant performance boost with the JL4 and JL5. I stayed with the JL5 because the accuracy was flawless on a 1 hour trip I took the other day.

Search for Calibration Fix in these forums. Depending on which ROM you are running, you can either create an empty file named calibration.ini file and put it at the root of your /sdcard or /sdcard2 and reboot. that seems to fix the issue for many people.
[G Tablet General] cgoogs:
Thanks for the help! That fixed my issue.
[G Tablet General] night_dragon:
im having the same issue. but this fix is not fixing the problem, unless i am doing something wrong. I am using the vegan rom.

I've used astro to create a new zip file called calibration.ini

but not working....am i doing something wrong the way I am making the .ini file? If so what is the correct way. (sorry if I am sounding completly stupid, I'm actually computer literate lol)

Is there another way to calibrate the screen?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I'd create the calibration.ini file on BOTH /sdcard and /sdcard2, then power off/on, not touching the screen, since there's apparently a hacked version of the calibration program, just to be sure.
[G Tablet General] night_dragon:
have already tried that to no avail :( lol
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

Sorry, didn't read your post carefuuly enough. Did you say you created a *ZIP* file?

Should be just an empty file, with filename all lowercase.

Jim
[G Tablet General] night_dragon:
ok...not real sure how to do that.

can you give me a step by step?

I'm just now starting to dabble in android so im still low in the learning curve, sorry.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
You can probably use ES File Explorer. Use that and browse to /sdcard. Click menu icon (the 4 lines icon), then New on bottom, then file, and type the 'calibration.ini' for file name. Do same for /sdcard2.

Power off, then on.

After completely on, use File Explorer again, to delete those files, otherwise it'll try calibrate every boot.
[G Tablet General] night_dragon:
awsome...thank you very much!

[G Tablet General] snipestech:
So I did it but it didn't calibrate does it do it automatically or should it prompt me?

My understanding is that the calibration apparently runs once when you power up, if it finds that calibration.ini file. No prompts or visible display.
[G Tablet General] M5Ivan:
It doesn't do anything different that you'll see at start-up. Make sure you let it sit for a minute after it starts so you don't mess it up.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
How do you calibrate a touchscreen without registering touchpoints? Hmm. Interesting. I guess I should try this since people report it working. I don't have a problem when holding it landscape, but in portrait mode unless I'm reading an e-book, I find myself having to pay attention to touching buttons.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Well, I've certainly seen other touchscreens that do more sophisticated calibrations. Nonetheless, this seems to calibrate the un-touched state and it seems to achieve good enough results that everybody I've seen who's tried it with touchscreen sensitivity issues, issues with pinch-and-zoom, issues with soft keyboard keys in certain areas of the screen and so on, has posted that it fixed the issues for them.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Do not touch the screen while the tablet is booting. Wait for it to completely boot. The calibration process will pick up your touch, and interfere with the calibration process. I noticed today I picked it up and carried it across the room while booting the the screen was totally unresponsive. I have never noticed that problem ever before (I am old fashioned and still running 2.00 with the calibration hack added). When I rebooted it was fine and I remembered the developers for my Odroid T has said the same thing while they were working on a better screen calibration routine on boot.

In the quest for the ultimate device, CM gets pretty close. A bunch of people on the CM forums are chiming in with donations for working TV-out for the Incredible, and I wanted to cross-post it here to hopefully garner some more attention and interest.

The goal here is to have working TV out without compromising any other main functionality (like Bluetooth on Sense ROMs).

Not sure if it's possible at all, but if I can attach my phone to my TV and play SNES with my kids using Wiimotes, I will chip in my $20 bucks, and a bunch of other people will too. :)

The donation count was up to 160 bucks on CM forums as of the time of this post, and I have 3 friends that will chip in as well.
