[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mardenator:
okay, i've searched the forums and couldnt find anything on this, so don't flame me for posting this. I just tried to backup a ROM in CWM Recovery on my permrooted and S-off G2. it got to "Backing up system" and then said "Can't mount /system/!" and stopped the backup. is there something i'm not doing right here? Any help would be appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Which ROM are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mardenator:
i was using a Gingerbread ROM, and i booted into recovery to make a backup so i could try a MoDaCo ROM. i tried doing the backup and it said "can't mount /system/!".. but i havent been able to reproduce the issue. maybe it was a one-time thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThuggishSouljah:
I have been experiencing this problem for over a week now. Same error I receive when I try to flash a file using Rom manager.

This problem happened to me after running fix permissions in Rom manager. I've had no luck on this good thing I have my phone stable.

Thanks for any help on this.

I'm runninng ROM CM 6.1.1
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Your problem is that the Gingerbread ROM uses EXT as its format instead of yaffs. CWM was written with yaffs in mind. I had the same problem with the Gingerbread ROM, but I was able to get the Froyo ROM back on and CWM worked again.

Try flashing it through recovery. I only use ROM Manager to download the ROMs in question.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncmish:
I am having the exact same problem. Gingervillian 1.5. So the solution is to go back to the froyo rom and this will fix itself? Forgive me I am a noobie.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havikx:
you need to flash CWM3.0 or above. flashing ginerbread formats system into ext4. earlier versions of CWM on read up to ext3.

thanks button at the bottom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncmish:
I want to tap the thanks button -- i really do -- but I am running version 3.0.0.7, I am not sure if that is the answer. Thanks for the fast response by the way.

Now the recovery is listed as clockworkmod 2.5.1.3 -- but I cant find any later versions.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
No that is not the awnser, you are running Rom Manager 3.0.0.7, you need to install ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 they are two diffrent things, you will know if you have flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 by booting into recovery and if the letters are green you do not have the right recovery for GingerBread, the letters will be orange if you have CWM recovery 3.0.0.5(GingerBread Recovery) installed.

Here is a LINK to the CWM recovery for Gingerbread 3.0.0.5

You need to flash the new recovery (CWM 3.0.0.5) in Fastboot mode or use the Flash_image method(this will work for any of the Gingerbread Roms CM7, GingerVillian, etc.).

This is CLockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 for Gingerbread 2.3 Roms.

This is ClockWrokMod recovery 2.5.1.3 for Froyo 2.2 Roms.

Thanks again and here is your thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoundDK:
I tried the flash_image method but it did't work (got stuck at white screen with htc logo when rebooted). I was lucky to be able to reflash 2.5.1.3 from Rom manager. I'm running a gingerbread rom (which I love) but I dont have the guts to try out the fastboot method (eng hboot is scary stuff..).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Huh... if u of clock work u should download a rom then mount ur sdcard put the rom in ur sdcard and flash the new rom with clockwork.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
It doesn't matter now. ROM Manager is flashing 3.0.0.5, which now works with Gingerbread and Froyo ROMs.

First of all, i am sorry if this question has been beaten to death, i tried searching and coundt find an answer, my swype "trial" has expired and now i can't use swype, i uinstalled and reinstalled but keep getting same error

any way to fix this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
You need to go to swype.com and log into my swype and get your new beta sent to you. That's assuming you were registered for the beta. Other than that, some Evo roms now include swype. Try finding one and flashing it.

[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Yes i believe your question was I want 2.2, now damn it, will the OTA come to me if I am rooted? And the answer is yes to that question if you haven't already downloaded the leak froyo. Isn't that the answer you wanted? Now im confused?:confused:

I need help bcoz I want to factory restore my phone I'm running on CM 6.1.1 and pershoots kernel including my memory card any suggestions on how to do it?? Should I copy all the files from my memory card and factory restore?? Is MMC affected on restoring it?? How about hidden files on MMC?? Can I do it w/o affecting my root?? Thnks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastajest:
No, the sdcard won't get affected by a factory reset.

Just use the ClockWorkMod recovery to backup your ROM to your sdcard.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojo_16:
Are you sure it doesn't affect my CM or bricked my phone?? Cause wat I know is factory reset reverts you to stock(correct me if I'm wrong)??? Thnks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
A factory reset zeroes out all of your user information (text messages, accounts, apps, etc). It doesn't remove root or CM.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefawns:
Hey guys somethings wrong with my aria, I don't receive text messages and my market apps don't update, but sometimes ill just get messages randomly but with like 12 of them at once! People can receive them from me but I don't receive....its annoying, also it will sometimes receive them after I reboot the phone. The reason I know that my phone is like this is cause my friends told me that I wasn't replying to them. So I borrowed an old iphone and used that for a week and got all my text messages just fine and had no problem :/ does anyone have a solution? And is this also happening to other people?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zervic:
What rom are you on and what messaging app are you using?

[Nexus S General] tonyt3rry:
Hi as the title says I'm new to the site I seen it after reading about this forum on a tech site , so my story is Dec26my contract was ready for a upgrade took the plunge and went for the nexus S over the iPhone 4 I'm really glad I did I love the phone and the OS iknow a lot of people are bashing it but I don't see the fuss , I've had slowdown but nothing to start getting angry over. I can't wait to see what updates come out and what developers do with the tech.

I do have the issue with apps not showing but my guess is it's just comatability so biggy for me, I love the notification bar too very sweet feature I see why people always say iPhone doesn't do it as good as android, overall I find iOS has a more user-friendly feel to it and looks, but android does the job and does it good and takes the hard stuff out for you.

I'm planning on getting into development I have no experience but I plan on reading books and teaching myself it's a OS I want to stay with.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] crim2:
Hi, I've recently installed handcent sms to replace the default messenger on my P500 flashed with void rom.

Now my problem is that every time I receive a new message and read it with handcent, the lock screen still shows that I have an unread message. I've pretty much disabled everything I can in the default messenger settings but its still no good.

So anyway around this problem? Will I have to uninstall messenger? If so, will that have any adverse effect on my phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RottenEntrailz:
I had same prob.

I removed handcent then reinstailed and rebooted, that fixed the problem for me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soulmenj:
i have the same problem with my p500. but i will give my shot to this solution.. thank you. hope it will fixed my notification in my screen. even if i don't have any unread messages.:confused:

----------------------------

UPDATE!.

not working :(... still i have notification in my homescreen when it's lock.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Karai_17:
I have an issue similar to this. When I get a new SMS message, my lockscreen will say "651 unread messages" and then that text will scroll down and disappear and be replaced with "1 unread message". It's not a huge issue, but it is annoying. Anyone find a way to get rid of this double text? I have notifications turned off in the android messaging and all the regular stuff you'd expect done, yet this persists...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] titch.ryan:
i have the same problem, the workaround is to remove the default messaging app.

However this broke MMS for me, I was unable to receive them anymore!!

Any other solutions?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sam_02:
Remove lock screen message notification

Regarding this bug what i observed is..,

1. To remove Notification like "1 unread message" on lock screen, you have to open default message app and close (this is annoying though).

2.Till now i didn't find any solution even after Uninstall > install > rebooting....

3. One thing we can try is deleting default message app, this is not possible unless your phone is not rooted.

and I tried this with both Handcent and GO-SMS pro, and currently using Go-SMS pro..

Anybody comes up with the solution (other than point 1) let me know..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
There is no good solution. The default messaging application is hardwired to the lock screen.

- uninstall the stock app

- replace or hack the lock screen

Bug LG if you want it fixed.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sam_02:
Thanks for the info.., I'm still a noob...have to spend some time to learn Rooting n all other stuff.... later will try to delete stock app..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bindaasathar:
I've got the same issue but I found a way out i.e. use the pattern lock. The unread message count won't be seen on the lock screen :)
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
Hey I am making a custom rom for the D2 and I was going to mod the icon on the Facebook for Android app but I noticed it isn't included in stock android so I was just wondering if it is illegal for me to add the apk file to my rom.... I don't need a long explanation just a quick yes or no.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 General] caseyman4285:
no because all youre doing is making a custom icon, it would be illegal if you were to sell it but not with what you want to do.
[Droid 2 General] PDR447:
Actually, technically you could get in trouble for re-distributing a closed-source app like facebook. Are they likely to go after you? No. But could they? Yes.
[Droid 2 General] caseyman4285:
email the facebook team and ask permission thats the safe way and then you are 100% sure
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
just an fyi there is a very widely distributed "Dark" version of the app on the internet. its basically black and blue...i dont think you will get in trouble
[Nook Color General] sueharrah:
The default rooted Email app worked great the first few days after rooting but now it just kicks me back to my email listing if I attempt to open any of the actual emails.

I installed Touchdown email as a test and it exhibit same behavor - Email shows up fine, syncs fine but when I tap an email to open it I'm right back to the emails listing again.

I've perused various forums with no success... Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
I had the same problem. So I copied over the email.apk, calendar.apk, and calendarprovers.apk from my Samsung moment 2.1 phone to the nook and it has been working.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
Could you post a copy of your working Email.apk? I'm having the same problem with my exchange account and couldn't for the life of me get k9 mail to work.

Ended up getting a mostly working workaround by setting mail to check only every half hour and only saving 3 days worth of messages. My guess was that it had something to do with the fact that the default client downloads everything including large attachments.

Here is my email.apk. I also was using exchange with the default email app:

Hi,

I am seriously considering to buy 2 phones for my mom and my cousin back home in india.

I have brought down the choices to ZTE Blade and Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. I myself have a Samsung Galaxy S and I love the Super AMOLED screen (which is almost same as the one in Blade).

My mom loves bejeweled, and my family has a history of using Sony Ericsson phones (every one loves sony ericsson). my cousin just needs a phone to use social networking features.

which ever phone I buy, I am going to unlock it and i have plans to install stock rom on it and make it updated(?).

I also have considered T-Mobile G1. Im confused.

which one should I buy?
[General Questions and Answers] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I personally would not get the sony because they have a reputation of late updates. None of them are really 'fast' but the g1 has great support. Hit the thanks button below if this helped :)

My Choices of Smartphone

For me, I will choose none of them. (Purely from my point of view..no offense) Instead, if I'm going for:

WinMo(6.5): HTC. HTC have great bunch of winmo 6.5 operated smartphone which is working very nice and smooth.

Recommended device: HTC HD2

Android: Google, Samsung. If my budget is lower, i will go for Google Nexus One if I'm going to buy an Android phone. But Samsung Galaxy S or Samsung Nexus S would be a better choice as the specs are much better and greater performance.

Recommended device: Google Nexus One, Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Nexus S

Windows Phone 7: HTC, Samsung. The new windows OS have a few distinct functions that should not be underestimated and it would probably be a great choice too for buying smartphones.

Recommended device: HTC HD7, Samsung Omnia7
[General Questions and Answers] GH057257:
The small Sony androids aren't so good IMO...very small screen, tough to type on. Even the X10 mini pro with its hard-QWERTY has extremely small buttons making it very difficult to type on it.

For low price-range I would recommend the HTC wildfire. Its good as a basic social networking/normal user smartphone. The screen isn't too great, but excellent considering its price. You will also be able to run Bejeweled on it ;)

ZTE Blade looks good for its price as well, but I am not familiar with the brand so I really cant give an opinion there. It doesn't have the same screen as the Galaxy S though, it employs an OLED screen (not SAMOLED). OLED is not as good for outdoor use as it tends to mirror a lot.

For a higher price-range Galaxy S or Nexus S...preferably the Nexus S which has some more hardware features.

[General Questions and Answers] vetea:
Hello,

I think you should ask yourself a few questions :

- is the operating system importatant for you ? Android, Windows, Symbian ?

- What capacities ? Camera ? 3G ? GPS ? Budget ?

- WHAT NETWORK IN INDIA, specially for the 3G : what frequency ? Samsung is UMTS 900/2100Mhz, Nokia is UMTS 850/900/1900/2100/1700,.....

Personnaly, I saw the Xperia, I dont like it. I have a Galaxy 3 : it is very nice, except the 3G doesnt work in USA !

You do need to ask yourself those kind of questions first.

Is is possible to change the root folder of the sd card used by android? I don't like having it create so many files/folders in the root of my card...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Of course, you can place Android where ever you wish... just adjust the rel_path statement on your startup.txt.

For example, my installs are in /sdcard/Androids/TP2Ref - from Android's perspective. So in my startup.txt, I have

relpath=Androids/TP2Ref

- Just make sure that goes in the cmdline section.

Pretty sure this is in the FAQ... Try searching before you post ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HDR:
My relpath is set to andboot, but Android is still creating files in / on my sd card, I want to move the media, cache, downloads directories and the FSCK001 files to a subfolder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mcnutty:
Only way to do that is to modify the source. I could easily make the changes in init for you, but the next time rootfs is updated (which will probably be soon since stinebd has to prep it for GB), you will lose those settings.

I'm working on some NAND stuff at the moment, so if you feel adventurous, all you have to do is modify init in rootfs and "compile" it. I have a little guide on compiling stuff (see bottom of post #1 for rootfs): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/tp2-andro...modules-tinboot-nand-boot-more-beginners.html
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HDR:
I'll have a look at that, thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I can at least give you a easy solution for the FSCK files (no offense Nate ;)). Put this in the "CustomCommands" section of your froyo.user.conf:

rm -f /sdcard/*.rec
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elamodelmerol:
im totally agree; i dont see the point of having the possibility of choosing android to start in whatever location we want....if anyways android will keep creating files/folders in the root of our sd card.

if i recall correctly the very first releases didn't have this problem it would be great if u devs can change this behaviour by default
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
This is what Android needs by default, and where they would normally be created by the system. It's nice to stick as close to AOSP as we can, because then there's this small group of devs that work for this company 'Google' that then become our system image maintainers. ;) Thanks.
