nandroid or backup your rom if you need/want stuff on it. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Texas Spectre:
Also make sure you have the most current version. If the one you have includes the new market update in it try to find one that includes the old market instead. I've heard some people have problems with that market version causing problems.

Hey

Sorry

I have a non rooted nexus one.

I downloaded rom manager

When I go into the app it says that it can't find su under /system/bin.

I found a superuser app- superuser.apk.

If I put superuser under /system/bin would rom manager work???
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
It clearly says you need root in the application description.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
But I think it says that so superuser could install. If I could install it manually could it work??

I will flash cyan's mod so that would root.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Superuser is like a firewall that lets you restrict su access to your system. It's only useful once you have rooted. You need to root first...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
How do you plan on putting something on the /system partition (that you don't have write access to unless you are rooted)?

Please save yourself some stupid posts (and everyone else's time) and read the newbie threads and articles that appear in Sticky threads at the top of each forum and/or in the NexusOne Wiki. (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&pagename=Nexus_One)

You are obviously in over your head and will just end up breaking things unless you start out by having a decent understanding of what you're doing.

No, not again. 7th thread on the subject?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
1) Superuser.apk doesn't go to /system/bin

2) You should use that link I gave you yesterday, rather than making yet another thread to ask the same question.

http://jaxov.com/2010/10/root-android-2-2-1-frg83-google-nexus-one/

PLEASE READ THAT AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, AND YOU WILL HAVE A ROOTED PHONE.

That will root your device and install the su binary.

You've asked the same question about 7 times now. You have been given the answer. Please search, use the wiki, and use google, as I did, to get that link.

Again, the links in my signature may give some help for future in the etiquette of asking questions.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Know-Fear:
This has got to be like the 10th post I have seen from you asking the same thing over and over. If you want root, you need to either run the 1-click or you need to unlock your bootloader. You cannot and will not just magically get root by adding an apk. Do some reading and quit asking the same stupid ass questions.

Hey guys,

Possible stupid question. I have a nandroid for a JI6 and I am currently running Bionix R1 with the core v2 kernel. I'm trying to get my call history and mesages from the nandroid onto bionix. Can the nandroid be run or is there a way to pick and choose files? Thanks--Al
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJLaPrell:
You can extract files from the nandroid. I did this with unyaffs (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XMGZSYOM). Drag the img file from your nandroid backup onto the exe in windows (or CMD - unyaffs filename.img)

Not sure where the files are that you are looking for, but this should get you started.

Good luck!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
If you flash ROMs a lot, it's good to use something to back up and restore your call log and saved SMS. I use Call Logs Backup & Restore and SMS Backup & Restore. Both apps are free on the Market and back your stuff up to xml files which can easily be restored with the same apps.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
Is there any way to delete the APN that came with the DVP? Even though I can add a new APN, I don’t want any records of the stock APN that came with the phone. I want to erase it completely!
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I read someplace....Twitter...Facebook?? MS Answers....sorry I don't remember exactly, but the APN is locked in, per OEM/Mobile Operator. I heard that an unlocked phone will require the equiv of a Connection Setup to set all settings. You can manually enter an APN into the device...well ...some devices....but still not have the MMS or SMS settings. I know the HTC devices come with a connection setup, but the Samsung and LGE devices do not. I guess the Dell does not either. So running any of those phones unlocked on a different Network....may cause some problems with the extended services.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
With the stock APN, i believe tmobile can detect if you're abusing their grandfather data plan.

What do you think?

Lets get rid of that stock APN.!
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
I just figured out how to screen capture from landscape view by holding back and pressing home on the keyboad. But how do you do it from portrait view?
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
I think you do it the same way with the capacitive buttons but everytime I try it is says the screen capture service force closed.
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
The capacitive buttons only activate on release, so there's no way to hold one down...
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Wow! I didn't know the Epic had any built-in way of screen capture! Learned something today!

I use Drocap2 for all my screenshot taking, but I hear ShootMe works also.
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
That make sense
[Epic 4G General] brandonc_mail:
You can hold the back button and close the screen holding the smallest amount of the hardware back button... (screen will go portrait with the screen closed this much) now click the capactive home button and you'll have a portrait shot.

Kinda dumb- but works.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Wow, that actually works! Now I won't need another pointless app lol!
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
Wow, that is hilarious...
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Doesnt work on mine.
[Epic 4G General] shahin26:
How then the capacitive home button gives us recent apps viewed by holding it down for a few seconds?
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
That is a good question. I didn't invent the principle I stated, I merely repeated it. Try the screenshot combo with the front buttons, it won't work...
[Vibrant Android Development] Da_G:
Hi Vibrant owners!

I made a post over in the Captivate forum about how we can configure the GLGPS daemon in our phones (this is used to control the GPS behavior)

Attached are some update.zips with a new glgps daemon pulled from the Nexus S, secgps.conf and a jupiter.xml configuration inside. The GPS chipset is common among all SGS models, so this should work for you. Please try it, feedback is appreciated!
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
Sweet!

[Vibrant Android Development] Tempestrs4:

[Vibrant Android Development] Da_G:
I know at least one model of Vibrant does (Bell), not sure about the others (CDMA does not I believe)
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
With the vibrant froyo leaks, we now use gpsd and jupiter.xml Samsung decided to make it the same across the board. At least for the i9k, cap and vib. Not sure aboit the epic and fascinate though
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
i really don't understand these "fix your gps" threads. Hasn't it already been fixed a while back with the newer 2.2 roms? Mine is just fine now.
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
Wow. Your like saying that people doesn't have to fix their gps if yours has been already fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
im saying if you've upgraded to a new rom like most here then it should have been fixed. what kind of fix are you expecting a 100/100 Sat lock the instant you turn on the GPS app?
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
Yeah it should have been fixed, but to some it isn't. Maybe because of the hardware or other issues.

I'm not expecting that, we all just want it to be usable like having a better accuracy.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
sorry it's getting late and my brain is not fully functional ^_^ though it is sorta confusing how the same hardware can produce different results with the newer 2.2 roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] stealthx32:
It's not the same though.

The antenna got revised in October 2010. See the post about the gps fix in the Vibrant general forum.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
ic... that's even more depressing lol. you would think a newer antenna would fix it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Saiboogu:
It seems the newer antenna did fix it - the older design is unreliable so "identical" hardware can have different GPS performance depending on how much the connection has worked loose.

[Vibrant Android Development] wibul_10:
if you compare to HTC model like HD2, you will see that vibrant is very slow altough gps is fixed...I once use htc hd2 with MDJ mod for android GPS is real fast, never more than one minutes from start ( case compared when u totally delete gps data) I don't know how HTC did it...just for your guy to concern
[Vibrant Android Development] kelmerp:
My GPS has never worked and I've tried every ROM and every fix. Sure I can get a lock on 8 of 12 satellites, and I can easily get 10 foot accuracy. As soon as I try to use Navigation, it sucks. It'll jump around by a few feet here and there, and that's enough to totally throw off the navigation. All of a sudden it thinks I'm the wrong street and its telling me to turn around.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
im sorry guys, that sucks. mine has been fine for a while now. and i navigate quite a bit as I am new to Cali. Initially it truly pissed me off when I was on 2.1, telling me i'm staying on the highway when i infact took the off ramp etc... lol. I'd get a replacement.
[Vibrant Android Development] LovellKid:
Can anyone ever say the word GPS without sending everyone into a pissing frenzy?

BACK ON TOPIC:

OP which one do you recommend starting out on for us Vibrant owners?
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
I highly.. very highly recommend Sombionix' Nero 3. I've used a lot of roms and this one is very very fast. And I usually refrain from saying "fast" because most phones are initially fast when new roms are installed but this one definitely deserves it even after massive app installs and use.
[Vibrant Android Development] YetisAreReal:
I tryed out the google version and it killed my GPS it sees 12 birds but won't connect to any.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamefreakgcb:
Which do I install? I have a Tmobile Vibrant. You have 3 files listed. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittssaaron:
I'm using cm6 over clocked to 710, and it's quite fast but I was reading that aosp was even faster. I'm using the decafuct kernel (768). I still get the occasional lag, is aosp significantly faster? Does it show up on the benchmark? I get 392 with cm6.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDowntown12:
AOSP runs a lot quicker for me than cm6. But I prefer cm6 because of all the extra little tweaks it allows me to do. Plus with Deca's new kernel, its really sped up and nearly identical in quickness to AOSP.

Thats just my personal experience.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinfox:
Really? As fast and smooth as asop? How about two days later without a reboot?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDowntown12:
Yeah I don't have to reboot my phone regularly. I do every few days but that usually cause I'm gonna flash a theme or kb or something.

AOSP is probably still a tad smoother but cm6 runs well enough that its not a big enough difference to big me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swishersweedz420:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I preferred CM over aosp.... CM is fast enough to not really need aospmod, and CM has way more features that makes it easily customizable.... I also felt that there was better support from the CM team :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
AOSP uses my kernel sources, so they're damn near identical regardless. Just check the dates on when he last released with my latests commits and see how up-to-date he is with changes.

There really shouldn't be much of a difference. The CM6 nightlies just lack some proprietary library changes and optimizations that jaybob, aosp, and I have been including in our personal ROMs, that's why they 'seem' slower.

Pardon my ignorance but are those .zip files optimized for north america users or someone based in Asia can use it too?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Da_G:
Hi Frau :)

Regarding the zips, there is no location specific data in them, only network specific data. I would recommend first trying Control Plane (will try to use your cellular provider's control plane agps server. They may not have one)

If that doesn't work well, try google. Also, the first post explains many options in jupiter.xml in detail, please feel free to experiment with settings and report your results! You can change the supl server to one specific to your cell provider, for example (if they provide one)

If you set lbslocal to true, your phone will start to record the coordinates for each cell tower it sees. On the next fix attempt this data is used for agps to provide a fast fix even without any network connection :) This data is stored in /data/gps by default (you can change it in jupiter.xml) - so wiping /data will erase this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rickylcp:
Thx Da_G for ur great findings and effort. SGS is almost a perfect device to me except it's GPS.

I am willing to try ur tweak but would like know more for the fallback steps first.

How to revert to my current settings if any goes wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Da_G:
@rickylcp:

There are 3 files modified. /system/bin/gpsd/glgps_samsungJupiter, /data/gps/secgps.conf, /system/etc/jupiter.xml.

Back up these files and take note of their permissions, and you can copy them back afterwards, and be back to where you started :) Since the modifications are to /system and /data, flashing a new rom and doing a "factory reset" will also revert the settings.

If we can find a setting that works best for everyone, i'll change the update.zips to make a backup for you at install time, and set up another update.zip to revert to the backup, for convenience :)

Hey guys,

I've just receieved my third HTC handset with what I'd consider to be a major issue.

HTC Touch2 in 2009 - would often power off during calls (probably due to WinMo). Hardware buttons quickly became loose after about a month of use, and the backlighting stopped working.

HTC Legend in 2010 - this phone is two months old and the top speaker is so broken I can barely hear somebody on a call. Everything crackles and pops and, according to people on the other end, they can barely hear me either. It's annoying as when I bought it the call quality was great but gradually the speaker got buzzier and buzzier.

HTC 7 Trophy - the most serious of the bunch. Yesterday, whilst web browsing, the phone displayed a still multicoloured screen of static. None of the buttons would work. After taking the battery out and restarting, the static re-appeared. I've managed to power on the phone since - you have to wait an hour with the battery out - but you get the same static lock ups when web browsing or using search after about five minutes. Having had a similar experience on my laptop, it looks to me like a GPU failure.

Am I the only one who has experienced incredibly shoddy hardware quality control from HTC? I'm going to have to replace the HTC Trophy and, at the moment, I'm starting to seriously question going with an HTC. The touch2's button issues were forgiveable because that was relatively cheap, the Legend's speaker was incredibly annoying but the Trophy's GPU failures are completely unforgiveable IMO. They render the phone completely useless.

Am I just unlucky or have others experienced similar concerns?

Cheers

My Hero has been fine, along with my touch... Although that met a washing machine in the end :D
[General Topics] MStott:
Finally ~ Someone With A Similar Issue

Finally, someone that doesn't purely worship HTC... Although I haven't experienced issues to the magnitude of your's, I haven't been 100% happy with my phone since the day I bought it. I have a HTC Desire, and I got this phone in confidence after reading many reviews about how good the phone was, these reviews were clearly written from people with 0% experience with the phone.

I will number the issues I have had with the build quality of this phone...

1) The case on the back of the phone, has only ever been took off about 4 times, I have never dropped my phone or anything, however it starting to come off, yes, I can take the back of my phone off, without using the finger slot.

2) The screen is so easy to scratch? It was in a pocket with an Asthma spray, and there was no vigorous shaking of my pocket, yet somehow the screen just completely f****d up man... wow.

3) This is probably the worst issue I have. Every time HTC releases an update for my phone, I run into some sort of issue. I got my phone in May/April 2010 (it's on Orange UK however de-branded and now due to update issues, running a custom ROM) and immidiatley I found that an update had been released. After downloading the update the phone started to install the update, however it restarted and nothing happened. Left it for about an hour, nothing... So yes, I did the worst, took the battery out and messed it up completely. The shop I got it from forced me to send it to HTC, it took them 5 weeks (VERY poor customer service) and when I got it back they had barely fixed it, as when I turned it on, it finished installing the update?

4) I have had some other software issues, such as the system occasionally locking up and having to remove the battery to get anything to work. Occasionally the screen will lock up, like I won't be able to click any icons, however I'll be able to swipe from screen to screen, and it really can be quite annoying. As far as battery goes, it will last me an entire day, but will require a charge at the end of the day.

However, I think me and you are in a minority. I'm 14 years old, and I talked my Dad into buying a HTC Desire HD. He hasn't had a single problem with his, it installs updates perfectly without and issue, and the software performs seaming-less (except for a problem with a process that took up 80.9% of the RAM, fixed by turning the USB Debugging on?) So I believe HTC are good, theres just a few really, really bad apples in there, and unfortunately HTC won't admit this, and don't want to do anything about it... I hope I helped, I'm fairly new on here...

Cheers, Michael.
[General Topics] tolis626:
Well guys,you are a minority indeed.This Tuesday I received my Desire HD,which is my fourth handset from HTC.I have had a Diamond,a Hero,a Desire and now the Desire HD.The only problem I ever had was with my Diamond which,after one year and a half took some water in it without getting exposed to any water,but it was because the climate here is very humid.Other than that I have never had an issue.And I am no fanboy,if I had problems I would change without second thought.

I'll just tell you that a friend of mine punched my Desire HD with his full strength(don't ask why) while it was in my pocket.I thought the phone was done for,scrap,but the phone is like nothing happened.My friend's hand wasn't so lucky however,it still needs ice! :p
