[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ibawanzingee:
I rooted my sister's phone, all was well from last night up until this morning. I was going to leave her phone stock, and just have autostarts and some other apps make her phone faster. But then I got testy, and wanted to install Cyanogen, and now her phone doesn't work. I can get into recovery, and when I try to install the backup I took of her *original ROM, the phone won't start; just stops at the "mytouch" bootscreen. The backup worked last night, so I know I have a good backup. Through this process, is there any way to make it so your phone won't accept updates, or what?

Last night, it had 2.2.1, was NOT a fender edition, was 32B

Today, I installed the Death SPL to help Cyanogen run, but the situation wasn't any worse before I did that.

I've done proper wipes every time. :(

Bottom line, the phone doesn't seem to take an update.

Help!

Hi, delete this if it's considered spam, but I started a website to catalogue all the MIUI themes as it's not very easy to browse themes on forums and most of the downloads use upload sites with timers and other crap.

At the moment I have 46 themes and monitor several forums (including Chinese ones) for the latest themes. I include links back to the page I found the theme (a lot of them here).

The site is miuithemes.com

I hope it makes it easier for people :)

[Nexus S General] thepro8:
My company requires certain security policies to be enabled on a phone for us to be able to access our exchange server. I have listed them below. Is it possible to enable extra features on the nexus s?

numeric pin or alpha-numeric password options to unlock device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices.

Remote wipe: Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data in case device is lost or stolen.

Exchange Calendars are now supported in the Calendar application.

Auto-discovery: you just need to know your user-name and password to easily set up and sync an Exchange account (available for Exchange 2007 and higher).

Global Address Lists look-up in the Email application, enabling users to auto-complete recipient names from the directory.
[Nexus S General] Amin Sabet:
I'm pretty sure all those features are already supported with the Nexus S. My brother's company has the same requirements, and his Nexus S works fine with their Exchange.
[Nexus S General] cocoe68:
My Company also request for same requirements, my android device is Froyo 2.2 and it hasn't fully compatibility. My system administrator request for Touchdown tool instead of system OS capabilities.

Hello guys,

Although we now have one-click programs that root our Evos, I am simply the type of person/geek that needs to know the "In's and Out's" and the "why's and how's" of how something works.

I rooted my Evo back in June of 2010 when it was launched, using the then complicated and long process in adb shell. Although I did not stumble in the process at all, I did not know what was really involved and simply followed directions.

With that said:

One of the many Files (flash_image), (mtd-eng.img), (PC36IMG), (recovery.img), needed to root my Evo was the "flash_image" file.

Can anyone please explain what this file is and it's purpose.

Also, is this the same file found in /system/bin/flash_image ?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
On my other Android devices I can simply put a . in front of folders that I don't want the gallery to display (such as avatar pics and shortcut icons and what not) and it wouldn't. Then I could use eStrongs file manager or similar to browse to them when I needed them. I popped a 2GB MicroSD card I had laying around that already had some files on it from another Android device and ALL of the folders with images are showing up in the gallery... even those with a . in front of them.

Is there any way on an Archos 101 to set the Gallery to NOT display items inside of a '.' folder? Seems this is default with other Android devices so I'm hoping it's at least an option on these.

Ideas?

Thanks for the help.

Create a 0kb file called .nomedia. Place it in the folder of items you don't want shown. That should work.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
Doesn't appear to work. I searched before posting this and found a few things about .nomedia and thought maybe you had to rename the actual folders w/the images within to .nomedia to hide them? Seems like this would be a PITA way to go about it.

Am I doing something wrong? Any other ideas?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazingwolf:
It should work just fine. Did you name the file specifically .nomedia? No ext name. Did you reboot to see if that helps? Did you put the file in the folder of the items you don't want showing?

Here is some more specific instructions (I didn't write them):

1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor

2. Save the blank file with the filename “.nomedia”, make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”

3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing picture files you don’t want to show up in the gallery. (Example: If you want to block aDyno image files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/aDyno folder)

4. Reboot your phone and hopefully the unwanted files should no longer be viewable.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
Alright, w/more information I tried it again. I created a file just using a file browser on the device. This time around I created a file in Notepad on my PC called .nomedia and made sure the filetype was set to 'all files' before saving and that there was no extension (deleted the .txt) and then copied that file to my Archos 101. I first tried in the folder on the SD card that contained all the folders in question. I rebooted and it didn't seem to help. I then copied the file into each folder and rebooted. Still no dice. Whenever I open Gallery all the folders and images are still there. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to clear a cache or something or delete any tumbnails or ?? I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I keep searching and am coming up with nothing. This was SO easier on my other Android devices as I just put a period in front of the name of the folders I didn't want to display and it was done. Simple as that. This is a royal PITA and I feel I'm not making any progress.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycloud:
Evidently nobody is going to answer this. I need to know this now too, that is why I bumped this dust bunny. I can't find much information on the system files and mounting points of the partitions. Specifically, mmcblk0p2. Can anyone explain to me any of this? Including what the mtd-eng img file is and what it does?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
Some one else might know about the mmcblk0p2 block.

The best way to think of the mtd-eng.img is as follows:

The mtd-eng.img is an image of the phone's misc partition as it was on the Evo's initial pre-engineering software state around the time of it's release.

Everytime you run a RUU or flash anything, the misc partition is updated, in particular with the android.txt file. It updates the RUU number (3.70.651.1, 5.07.651.6, etc.) for the misc partition. This, the misc partition, is one of the places where the phone looks to determine whether the phone will accept or reject you trying to flash a RUU when the phone is S-ON. The phone is designed to reject any RUU number that is below that number that the misc partition is reading. That is why you cannot normally downgrade a S-ON phone, because the Software state that you are on, which is being read by the misc partition is greater than the software number of the RUU which you are attempting to flash (downgrade).

The mtd-eng.img is an image of the misc partition at its earliest state, with the lowest RUU number there is. All other RUU numbers are currently greater than this number and not less than, so this is why you need to flash this file if you are trying to downgrade a S-ON phone's software version. The software number which is being read by the misc partion after flashing the mtd-eng.img file is less than all the RUUs software numbers that exist for the Evo. The effect after flashing the mtd-eng.img file and then running a RUU is that you are actually tricking the phone into thinking that it is upgrading, which it is more than willing to do.

I had Hboot 2.18 with the latest update, 5.07.651.6. When I first rooted it was hard to even find info for the newest system update. I tried every PC36IMG that I could find. All were rejected. Now I know why. Man, this was pretty awesome info. Thank you for taking the time. You're awesome bro.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4rheart:
Hi there! :)

I am all new to the android world and a proud owner of a HTC Desire.

I have a branded (vodafone) version with bootloader 0.93.0001, SLCD and android 2.2 with all Updates installed.

I would like to unbrand, root and install the MIUI Rom on my Desire.

I read through guides and stuff and they unsettled me.

There often are hints which say things like: not with new HTC OTA, bootloader xx, SLCD Screen and so on.

So... above I already stated what I would like to do with my Desire.

First of all is it possible? ^^

Seconded, would someone tell me what guides (and pls in what order!!) I have to follow?

I would be very thankful in advance.

Have a nice christmas everyone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Before rooting, it's a good idea to save the stock ROM you are running right now, so in case of emergency, you can revert to it and send it to the repair service.

From what you say, I assume you are running 2.33.161.2 Vodafone rom, here is the RUU.exe for that version.

You cannot unbrand your phone, but can get rid of the vodafone adware (

de

brand) by installing a WWE ROM or a MIUI custom rom, as you said you would like.

To install a custom rom you'll have too use unrevoked in order to get root (SU) and a custom recovery, from the latter you can flash custom ROMs.

The most newbie friendly guide in my view is turkey's one.

You must not forget that we, also wish you a Merry Christmass.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4rheart:
Hi again!

Thanks for that Link, it is really helpful.

I have just one Question left:

Won't I need a goldcard?

Because in this guide there is nothing said about a goldcard, but in other tutorials I read that it is needed it to flash, root etc.

So according to the tut you posted above, I guess I dont need a goldcard, right?

regards
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
You will need a gold card to flash an official WWE ROM, but you do not need a goldcard to flash the RUU I have linked or the MIUI (because it's a custom, not an official rom by a carrier or htc).

Unrevoked doesn't require a goldcard neither.

I managed to successfully install the gMIUI ROM I found in this Thread:

But now my light sensor doesn't work! As well as torchlight.

How can I fix this?

+ I think that ROM is really unstable it already rebooted itself 2 times?

Sometimes it just reboots when starting an application?

EDIT: this really sucks. is MIUI really that bad?

Is MIUI in general rather unstable? Or did I do simething wrong/is there a more stable version of it?

(BTW: I choose Pays gMIUI because I wanted to have german language)

So I'm debating what the next phone is that I want to get. Should I either get the Nexus S or wait and get the LG Optimus 2X when it comes out.

Pros of Nexus S: Cyanogen, 'nuf said.

Cons of Nexus S: Not that much more that the N1 really. I currently have an N1.

Pros of Optimus 2X: Tegra2, 1080p, etc.

Cons of Optimus 2X: not even out yet so unknown at this point.

I'd love to hear what you all have to say on the matter, thoughts, criticisms, pros/cons, etc.
[Nexus One General] quahog_convo:
Just wait! In all likelihood, the price of the Nexus S will go down by the tIme the LG comes out.

Plus, you'll have to see how LG will modify Android too
[Nexus One General] allthrottle:
I'd wait on the optimus 2x. It'll probably be great, but you don't want to be one of the people to find out first that it isn't. Wait a week after release, read reviews, then buy.

On the other hand, if you're satisfied with the nexus s reviews, get it. Sure, it won't have the highest specs in a month, but that doesn't mean it'll be trash.
[Nexus One General] maxib123:

[Nexus One General] KAwAtA:
I'd take the LG, but imo LG phones are bad. I've had several and never had a good experience. Their UI isn't great either, but like I said it's all opinion. So.. I would wait for reviews or wait a bit longer after that for something even better
[Nexus One General] tr.slate:
I would say the lg also. Digging how the tegra is shaping up. Just not sure about lg's build quality, or if there will be support from the community here. Comm support is a must for me since Im learning as I go.

I think this is relevant to the N1 forum since op is asking about what to get after it.
[Nexus One General] joeyklatzko:
Idk. I just got the MT4G a month ago. I plan on getting a new phone when an HTC phone with the 1.5Ghz dual core Snapdragons are released. It depends on how often you upgrade. If you get a new phone every 6 months, I'd get the Nexus, but if you're the type to wait out your contract I'd say the LG.
[Nexus One General] garfnodie:
I tend to get a new phone every year, contract up or not. Kind of depends on funds at the time.

I'm agreeing that the LG is going to be a monster, but am afraid that there will not be the community support that the N1/S has. So far, Cyan seems to focus on HTC devices, and I really like what Cyan does.

So far, I prefer vanilla Android with tweaks here and there such that ADW does, but don't like the interfaces that Moto, and Samsung, etc use. So if someone comes out with a good custom ROM for the LG, I'm there.

I have a feeling though that as soon as I get my tax return, I'm going to get antsy and end up getting the Nexus S, won't be able to wait for the LG to come out, then it'll come out and I'll be all disappointed. At the same time though, all these bad ass Android phones have come out that are superior the the N1, but because of the community support, I haven't been too disappointed to regret having gotten the N1.

In the end, I think it boils down to community support, with the NS will have plenty of that the LG may not.
[Nexus One General] colins:
It's a no brainer, got to be the LG 2X.

The Samsung NS looks like a soap dish.
