[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] off_contract:
Alright, so I got a secondhand MyTouch 3G Slide yesterday off of Craigslist. I've never had a smartphone and I'm wondering what I should do now? I would like some custom boot animations I think. (Maybe the one from the original droid?) Also, general customization would be nice, but I dont care about overclocking or trying lots of roms. With that said, being able to upgrade to vanilla 2.2 (or even 2.3 but that seems doubtful with this processor) would be really nice.

My main priority is stability. I want everything to work right, all the time, without bugs.

So I just want to ask the experienced veterans here what my best options are to get custom boot animations, froyo (either vanilla or with sense), and utter bulletproof reliability where everything works as well as it does now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
I'm not an experienced veteran or anything, but you'll want to read these, I think.

[UTIL] New Root Method as of 8/13! -> UPDATED 10/18 for NOOBS! <-

and

The Slide Rom Bible *updated 9-8-2010*

Froyo Roms are towards the bottom of that first post.

Do you know if the device is already rooted?(Doubting it :x)

As for boot animations... Ahhh, I don't have any idea. :(

I'm using Cyanoginger 1.0 (A theme rom, replacing CyanogenMod-6) and it's been running pretty smooth, even Cyanogen before that was just fine. I've had a few hiccups getting the thing to where I wanted it, but even when it was stock, I still had bumps here and there. There's a lot of options though and I'm pretty sure they're all quite stable. :D

2.3 isn't quite a reality yet, but Cyanoginger is the closest thing to 2.3 I think. They're still "cooking" it, I guess you could say.

I hope maybe this can steer you in the right direction, but if you need some more help, I'm sure one of the veterans will swing by, lol.

EDIT: Actually now that I look, there's things in the second post there about the boot animations and sounds.

Droid Life has posted the .apk for the upcoming Honeycomb (Android 3.0) Music player. I have tested it on the G-Tablet (running TNT Lite 3.12) and on my Droid 2 and it works great. Please keep in mind that not all features are working yet...it is still a work in progress.

I bet the streamed music has to do with Googles purchase of simplified media. I used it back in my iPhone days and it allowed me to stream my whole iTunes library to other computes or my phone.

Thanks for sharing.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Have you guys looked at Audiogalaxy? There was a post today about it. You download a free app from the market, setup a little tiny program on your pc. Tell the pc program where your music is and stream away. I am using it and it works great... I just used my Facebook login with it and it worked..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kevinb77:
Yeah I had posted that one too. Great app!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dragonfly1113:
With this audiogalaxy is it possible to have music on my droid and send it to the gtab? and like remote control the music PLAYING on the gtab from the droid? cant seem to get any program to work the way i need/want it to. tried twonky but it wont recognize the gtab as a player when using the droid app on the droid. main goal is to be able to pretty much control music on the gtab while its plugged into speakers from across the room or anywhere in the house.
[Android Apps and Games] luculuc:
Hey there! There are so many apps that promise to track your android phone (like lookout) but it looks like they all demand an internet connection to track the phone. What if the robber turns off the data or like me being abroad most of the time I don't have a data plan and connect only with wifi? Is there an app for that? Working at least with sms? Or better( like the "spot" device for outdoor activities with which you pay an annual fee to track the device with gps and can send a rescue alert in case? Is there an app for that? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mainstreamer:
There are programs which send a sms to a specific number, when the simcard changes and battery level goes under <10% with gps location.

I can't remember it anymore, but i've used it a while back and it works :-)

Hope someone knows which tool i mean ;-)

Good luck
[Android Apps and Games] deaffob:
Even if you know where the robber is, there is nothing you can do. He can simply say that he doesn't have it and refuse to be searched. The only use for tracking is that you lost it and not stolen.

If it is stolen, these so called protection apps can help you remotely erase your personal data.

I hope you get your phone back.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ronitbhat:
Ok, this might seem like a noob question...But I rooted the Desire Z and flashed Cyanogen 6.1 because I don't like HTC Sense much...But I really miss the HTC Locations application...Is there anyway I can find this application and if yes how exactly do I install it because I'm guessing it'll take more than just putting it in my sd card and installing it...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] keinengel:
As far as I know all the HTC apps depend on the HTC Sense framework, which means they probably won't run on vanilla ROMs.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlsesler:
Here's how it happened:

I was trying to swap Kernels by following instructions on cognition thread. I flashed the stock kernel and tried to apply the update.zip, and it gave me errors. I tried to reboot and the ATT screen came up and wouldnt boot. I was able to get it into download mode using adb, so I flashed the JI6 kernel. Now it won't go into download or recovery mode (just ATT screen).

Here's what I have tried:

- volume up/down + power buttons. released power button and recovery mode wouldn't come up.

- with power off, pressed volume up/down. Did not enter download mode.

- power + volume up. got a screen saying power reset or unknown upload mode?

- tried just hitting power and letting it sit for a long time to see if it would boot, but it just stays at ATT screen.

- adb reboot download (with device plugged into usb) - said device not found.

Is there something else I can try to get it into recovery or download mode? I figure I can flash the stock PDA if I can get that far. Is there something that a phone repair shop can do (special software, etc.) to help?

Any help would be appreciated.

Jason.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Have you read the READ ME BEFORE FLASHING sticky on the dev forum?

But.. try this:

Turn off your phone.

Take out the SIM, any external SDCard, and Battery

Plug in your USB Cable

Turn on Odin 1 Click - OTA JH7 Back to Stock

Hold down the +/- VOLUME Buttons on the phone.

Pop the battery back in - should go directly into DOWNLOAD mode using this method. If it goes to the gray "Battery Charging" picture.. unplug, take out the battery, and try it again.

And you had USB De-bugging turned on before you were doing all this (I'm guessing yes) Hopefully the above works.

BTW whenever it goes south like this .. better to just go back to stock and try again rather then potentially making it worse ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlsesler:
thank you! That got me into download mode. I was able to flash back to stock. I was scared for a while.

Jason.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
NP.. next time though read the Q&A sticky - should point you in the right direction a lil' quicker :)

And if you plan on to keep flashing new ROMs? Def go there first it should point you to different posts to keep you from having this issue in the future.

Does anyone know how to root the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (Telus SGH-T959D)? I had root prior to my upgrade to 2.2 Froyo but now Z4root no longer works. It will go through the motions but does not result in root access after running it.

Try turning off your virus scan before unziping superoneclick; on my computer it kept recognizing the rageagainstthecage file as a virus and deleting it.

hmmm still cant with my 959D and froyo
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitie_bear:
finally works, use super one click, unmount external AND INTERNAL sd cards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upkiller:
yup, worked for me too, thanks a lot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfn74:
Worked for me too. Phone is SGH-T959D from Telus:

firmware 2.2

baseband T959TLJL3

kernel 2.6.32.9 sj0829.kwon@ser-02 #2

build number FROYO.TLJL3

The trick is you have to unmount both the external AND the internal card, otherwise it fails. I couldn't find a way to unmount the internal card using the phone menus, so I had to download a free app from the Market called Widgetsoid2.x. This app unmounts both. Then I ran latest version of SuperOneClick (I used 2.2) and it worked.

Of course I had to install the USB drivers first and I had to put the phone is USB debugging mode
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamielees00:
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S SGH T959D and I need to unlock it, but I have no idea how to do that. I have been reading different forums and it says the phone needs to be ROOTED first before it can be unlocked, no idea what that is or how to do that, this is my first Android phone, so I'm a virgin when it comes to this stuff, can anyone help me. Thanks. (preferably in plain English)

[XPERIA X8 General] pspknightx:
Hi guys. May i know what's the benefit of rooting a phone? Still noob on this :P

Btw, how to install those application downloaded from Market into Memory card eh? I found that the internal memory is getting smaller until not enuf to install tons of things already :(

I know app like angry birds can move to SD.

Hope to get some answer and thanks :)

ADDON: Mine now running 2.1 which updated around end of last month.
[XPERIA X8 General] bnight:
The Advantages are:

- Apps2SD

- Tethering (Wifi/USB/Bluetooth)

And basically this are the most important advantages if you get root on Android 2.1
[XPERIA X8 General] pspknightx:
But from what i read from the android dev forum, it seems that 2.1 still unable to get root, right?
[XPERIA X8 General] droidjens:
You can also

- Remove pre-installed apps and demo versions (and timescape and default home screen if you want)

- Use Titanium Backup

- Use JiT (Just in Time compiler), which is a hack that is supposed to speed up your phone quite a bit. At least I can testify to my phone being quite snappy after finally getting everything right.

Pretty much a rooted 2.1 gives you a jury-rigged but well working version of 2 of the best features from 2.2... app2sd and JiT.

You can root 2.1 if you don't mind a bit of reading and manual labor. Or that is... you can't root the one you're already running. You have to wipe your phone and install a pre-rooted 2.1 image. Details in these threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876868

and/or

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880576

I'd go for the latter method. The image supplied in the first version is quite customized, and may not be to everyones liking.

I advise doing quite a bit of reading through those threads if you're completely new to this. It's not hard, but it's easy to screw up and end up back at square 1. Be warned that you have to setup your phone and re-install all apps once the process is complete.... unless you made a backup with Titanium on a rooted 1.6.
[XPERIA X8 General] pspknightx:
All right :) Will try to dig out some information from the development threads :D

Thanks for your info, too.

I've never liked racing, shooting, or sports games, which I've found doesn't sit well with most men my age (22). Just wondering what fellow techies think.

Usually I get a "wow, I can't believe another human being has different tastes than me" response. I don't think I've ran into a "Wow you're so gay" response but it's only a matter of time. =/
[Off-topic] !PANDA:
Yep same. I'm different to everyone in my school. Everyones got iphoned, I got a Desire, now everyones jealous haha.. anyways, I like racing and shooting games. Just the real ones. CoD and GT not things like killzone or WoW. Though I don't play often, every 2–3 weeks maybe, I do enjoy some adrenalin pumping through my veins when I due just begore the end of the mussion. It makes me more determined to finish correctly the next time etc..

Everyones always asking me when I'm online next to play a bit of CoD or whatever and I just don't understand how you can become addicted to something that doesn't actually exist. Well it does but not really, you know what I mean : )

LOL been a gamer for too long. But I have never told anyone that they were "gay" because they didn't like to game.

[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
well im different to everyone in my school.

most of the lads in my year like football and cod.

"medal of honor- is ****"

"driving games - ****"

"every other game apart from cod and fifa- is ****"

i have been called gay because i have long hair and i like rock music and drum and bass (and others).

i think the reason they call you gay is because they don't like people that are different and like other things.

about 1 year ago everyones phones where sony ericssons (crap ones)

and samsung tocco lites (horrible)

but 1 lad had a t-mobile g1.

i had my 7 year old htc himalaya brick (excellent phone)

now quite a few have htc's desires, hero, legend. (and obviously don't know about xda (what a pitty))

people seem to follow other people and call you weird because you are not following.

sorry if i drifted off topic.

i like driving games, fps (half-life excellent!!)

im a gran turismo guy i love that game, i also enjoy a nice helping of cod now and then too, i cant stand football soccer or basketball games though
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
COD - meh

FIFA - meh

GT5 - drool

Well, an explanation is warranted for the above...

I never really got the hang of FPS games in multiplayer, mostly because I used to pwn at CounterStrike and Half-Life, but a hiatus during my formative days (read, TEENAGE) lost my edge in FPS games. Mostly I will check out the single player experience, and if it gains enough traction amongst my friends, I'll get the original copy. Mostly, for group enjoyment purposes, we game L4D if we wanna play FPS. I'm just waiting for Crysis 2 (as an excuse to upgrade my Gfx card more than anything else :P )

FIFA... well... is a game for douchetards who imagine that they have the skills needed to take Leo Messi/CR to whatever glories that in real life they couldn't achieve (both for the gamers and the players). Simply said, it gives little to none benefits, and merely act as an escapement and commercial device. For the more serious guys, we play futsal, which is like football played in a netball field. Pacing is fun, especially since players with less stamina can join in and height doesn't bring that much of a benefit (read, GIRLS CAN PLAY TOO). And for the brainiacs, we play Football Manager 2011.

GT5 is going to be something of a old history for me. It's more of a nostalgia device than something of real enjoyment. Back in the days, me and my brother played GT1, GT2, GT3, and probably GT4. To my brother, who is an engineer by now, it is the most accurate depiction of a car on the race-track. I'll skip the nostalgia bit... Anyway, since neither of us own a PS3, and neither of us plans to own a PS3, this game will forever reside in the droolworthy section of our hindbrains, possibly forever.

The problem with me is I'm probably in the less than 0.05% zone. I'm a self-professed geek that likes to party and do sports. I could, enjoyably, spend the afternoon tinkering with my PC/phone or just dump everything to hang out with friends, chilling out and maybe finding the answers to life (we checked, its not 42).

So gaming is cool and all that, but it's not the be all and end all for me :)
[Off-topic] SteveG12543:
Gotta say... I love GT5 lol. I think I like it more than GT3 or 4 because I'm actually trying now lol. I used to have a Game Shark, Code Breaker, and Action Replay to cheat my way to having (basically) infinite cash, the AI guys wouldn't move, and every car would have like 16x acceleration lol. It made it fun cause I could get what I wanted when I wanted, but ruined the sense of accomplishment needed to make it feel way better. I actually HAVE to try and succeed in this now, which is awesome imo.

Call of Duty is cool, but I'm not into it as much anymore as I am with GT5 now.

FIFA is a game I'll never play. I don't do sports, nor like them; especially soccer.

That is VERY cool and I didn't know that. Sucker as I am for new experiences, it makes me want to play it again with this knowledge.

Haha, I hope I'm reading your implications right: b/c size isn't an issue, women can play the sport side-by-side with men. The other implication would be a little... off-putting. >.<

3) Half Life is probably the BEST GAME EVER. And I'm a sucker for driving games. I haven't purchased GT yet as I know my wife would kill me while I was going around the track at 4am.

YOU DON'T LIKE THOSE GAMES!!! wow!!, i didn't know another human being could have such different taste to me.

But seriously 'normal' at my school is f'd up compared to everybody elses, screamo metalheads and emos rule the street and jocks are considered to be on the same level as the scum you find in public toilets... its a weird place.

Im lucky anyway because im a self admitted nerd at school but for some strange reason nobody believes me? (WTF's with that!?!) Which is especially strange considering people are paying me to set up snow leopard hackintosh on their pc's.

My favorite shooter is Gears o' War 2 (can't really call it fps), but, uh, what do you guys think of bioshock? I personally don't like it, much to the disdain of all my friends who are obsessed with it.

Wow, that is strange. At my school there was no "jock" contingency either, but why would there necessarily have to be, stereotypes are stereotypes.

Hello guys.

I Have an htc touch pro T7272 and last month it suddenly stopped turning on. The last time was alive (i had a energy rom from 2010/10 i believe) i forgot to recharge at work, and when at home neither, then the battery drained out (as i believe). So the next day it was not turning on neither recharging... then i noticed that the battery got fatter! i presumed that was the reason and bough a new one.

Today i got the new batteries and still no answer from the phone: Not turning on, neither recharging (the white front led neither, no matter the time also).

I searched over the forum and did not found any answer, at the googled, when this happens, it was supposed to just change batteries, but... nothing!

Is it bricked? what should i try or do?:confused::confused::confused:
