I just rooted my phone and installed fresh rom. LOVING IT BY THE WAY. I installed titanium backup and backed.up the lock screen apk before deleting it to get the standard android lock but I can't seem to find out how to reinstall it should I just re flash the rom to get it back? Oh and I did do a nandroid backup before I deleted it thanks in advance
[EVO 4G General] kd0axs:
If you did a nand backup, then just restore it.
[EVO 4G General] jb0488:
Thanks man I really appreciate it. But I've got another question non related about Roms can anybody recommend a good stock rom that still has hdmi and 4g I liked cm6 but it is clearly lacking these features
[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
For a great stock based ROM, I recommend Ava's z1 or MikFroyo. If you don't want much Sense in your phone, go with VaelPak 3.0 for sure. It rocks and runs with less of HTC's bloat than any other ROM I have ran.

Also, in the future, if you want to delete apk's from the system for whatever reason, just rename them with a file explorer like Root Explorer. Just navigate to /system/app and locate the apk, like htclockscreen.apk and rename it to something like htclockscreen.apk.old. That will make it disappear until you decide you want it back, then you can just rename it back, and you're good to go. That will work with just about any app you don't want around any more. Plus it has the benefit of being easily reversible if there are problems associated with it's removal. :D

Thank man life saver!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sawo90:
hello. my english isn't good, but i'll try to explain my problems. maybe will be some help with this.

i buyed my desire 2-3 months ago. was new, without branding, with guarantee.

i have a bad pixel (or hot pixel...). it's only one and it's not so big problem for me, but can i do something with this? someone gave me a link to special webside (fast displayed colors), but i don't know - it can help, or not.

when i will send a phone to htc (or someone special with guarantee from htc), do they change lcd? (or phone?)

how long can be that?

i had a problem with a back "cover" (i'm not sure the name of this in english)

in upper right wasn't 100% correct with phone (sometimes i had to push harder this place, and then was "click" and was ok. but later again the same :/).

but i maked this little thing (this hold "cover" on a phone) warmer with a light and i bend this a little. its better, but look not so nice like original :/.

but what with this first case? do this special website can help? (they (who send mi this website) said - 5-6 hours with wthis website on, and maybe will be better).

and i have one question by the way.

will we have a official 2.3 android? i heard - it's small chance, to have official gingerbeard on desire.

i don't have a root and i don't wanna play with custom rom's.

i prefer official htc soft. is it a chance to gingerbeard?

thanks for help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Try pixel checker from market. If I remember correctly a company only changes lcd if there are at least 3 dead pixels. Your's might just be stuck.

I don't think desire will see official GB, but AdamG. Is doing an incredible work. But you need root to use it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shotdog:
Hey everyone I'm just wondering because I have heard that if I root and lag fix I will lose battery life is this true??

Will I lose anything else??

I am on 2.2 and now am going to root with z4root and oclf

Also because I can still get to recovery and download mode is there any chance of bricking my phone?

Thanks .. And sorry ... I worry a bit
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serikiito:
No you won't lose battery life from rooting or applying a lag fix.

Where did you hear this by the way?

Chance of bricking the Samsung Galaxy S is quite hard to do. Rooting or applying a lagfix is near impossible to brick your phone. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and research into it.

Good luck :)

Or do we only know its going to be in january at somepoint
[Windows Phone 7 General] xThe Enforcer:
Well, everyone keeps saying sometime in January but where did we even get that from? Microsoft post something?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I think Microsoft said 'sometime early in 2011' but everyone started saying January...

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is delivering the pre-show keynote on January 5th. One could assume that there would be other minor updates before Mango is released in the fall. Foley also mentioned the possibility of a Windows Phone 8 (codenamed Apollo) launch in late 2012.

Sure would be nice if they would pull a Sega Saturn and announce a decent update and tell us that it will be available that day :)

Wishful thinking I guess...
[Windows Phone 7 General] jtn04:
I hope its within the next 2 weeks or so. Microsoft really has to get the ball rolling on these updates to close the gap.
[Windows Phone 7 General] daleski75:
I think for a brand new operating system Microsoft have done a very good job and I am sure as and when updates occur it will only get better.

Patience is a virtue ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Anthonok:
Probably march. I honestly don't expect the update this month. As awesome as that would be. I REALLY hope this update is as amazing as all the hype everyone has for it.

These may help.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amdx2:
i hope the reasign the search button to something else.. i really hate it and hardy use it..
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
I don't actually use copy and paste on my mobile phone. I am guessing that they will probably update all their phones when they launch the CDMA versions of Windows Phone 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
They came from sites like Engadget, Gizmodo, Pocketnow and others, reporting the Jan. and Feb updates. For the Feb update, it was supposed to be so massive that it could be considered WP8. Now, however, MS has reported a massive update for Aug/Sep. Reading between the lines, one can expect the first two updates...if they actually do happen...to be minimal at best.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Yups.. bing is useless outside USA.. and the frequency of searching web is not that often for it to warrant a dedicated key...

A simple green dialer key would have been better..
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's how I feel about the Internet button on Android Nexus One/T-Mobile G2 builds. All 3 of the buttons are permanent in the OEM launcher and the Internet button is a waste of space. It's rarely used.

But I have used the WP7 search button quite frequently in apps like the Marketplace or Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
the search button is actually quite useful if programmed by the app. for example, i work at a bank and if we made a proper app, the search button can be utilised for transaction searching, or address book searching.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xThe Enforcer:
Oh, gotcha. I know those are amazing sites and I do browse them but until we see an official posting by Microsoft or something a the CES event I will not get my hopes up on any update...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
How did you get board express working. Mine hasn't worked since the last update.

Edit: nevermind. Its working again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
I'm expecting news about the first update on Wednesday later this week. That's when Microsoft is having a keynote speech at CES, so it's the most likely event for them to present the first update and show off the new features/improvements.

Regarding the second update, it is logical to think it would come in February at Mobile World Congress. However I think the two updates are a little too close together, so this part of the rumor may be wishful thinking. There's definitely a chance this could still happen though.

Now, what's actually going to be in each update is still a question. I'm assuming both will bring some bug squashing and at least one will hopefully make those annoying camera settings finally 'stick'. I think multitasking is still far off (probably with the 'Mango' release), but I think we could see Bing Maps Navigation in the second update. They've done it before with WM6.5 so I hope they can do it quickly for WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wheresmybeaver:
I read somewhere a few weeks ago that the bing maps team that were developing for 6.5 were redeployed at very short notice back in July in order to get working on turn-by-turn navigation for WP7. That's why turn by turn nav on 6.5 disappeared back then. Not that anybody outside of the US ever got to use turn by turn on 6.5.

I would imagine that turn by turn will make an appearance in January, but probably only for the US initially. Most other markets (my own is Ireland) don't even get local searches in bing, so it is actually impossible to even search for a street address in this market as of now. We dont even get POI listings (restaurants, post offices etc).
[Windows Phone 7 General] kennyken747:
I'm all for not getting your hopes up, but come on. Do you REALLY think that those Verizon apps that got leaked in the Marketplace were just for show?

CDMA support is obviously coming in January, no later than that. And what will we need to even have CDMA support? That's right, an update. Might as well go ahead and drop copy and paste in there (which is already READY for god sakes, an early version was even showed in a video last month, or did you all forget) as well as other confirmed updates like custom ringtones and such.

Probably a separate update dedicated to multitasking in February. In fact, MS already has the tech set in place for this. Go play a song in the music/videos hub. Now go surf the net or write an e-mail. Hell, go do anything on your phone. The song is still playing.

Basically, it's technically already enabled in the OS itself. We all know this. All they need to do to make it happen for 3rd party apps is update the developer tools to enable it to be utilized, and push out an update with a suitable task manager.

Use your brains people. It IS Microsoft but then again it is Microsoft. We used to expect them to not deliver in timely fashions but in the past few years they've gotten a lot better with that. And with all the money they're pouring into Windows Phone 7, it's obviously not just a little thought in the back of their heads. On the contrary, it's important enough to make them NOT wait until late 2011 to push out some of the stuff I outlined above.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
I like your optimism and want to believe what you say. However, some of us have been around since the Microsoft OS was "pcdos" so we have a long history with our friend Microsoft. I think you are right on and we don't have long to wait to see if you are. Maybe, just a couple of days in fact.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Thresher:
First Update:

Early Q1. That is all i can find as an "official quote" from anyone at MS. Q1 is up to April 1.

Just like the first WP7 phones, the employee's will have the Q1 update first, they will leak plenty of info the Gizmodo, etc and we will know it is coming a few weeks ahead of time.

You guys are dreaming if you think MS ever releases anything at a Keynote...

DREAMING

Besides as many of you have said the Q1 update could be a new set of ringtones for all we know, I kid I kid.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
I use search button all the time.. I think what needs to happen is for 3rd party apps to use it correctly as well
[Windows Phone 7 General] FL5:
One thing that I remember reading about the updates is that carriers will have until the subsequent update arrives to review the first update, and can delay deployment of that first update until the next update arrives. Seeing as I'm on AT&T, I fully expect my official update to get stuck in purgatory for as long as they can hold it. Yes, it's pessimistic, but it is also AT&T. If I see the supposed January update before March, I will be very very pleasantly surprised.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Thresher:
Good post, if these updates go to carriers before than yes, we are screwed on AT&T, haha.

I thought that the concept/design of Wp7 was partially to eliminate the need of carriers to update first...I read it somewhere, I SWEAR!
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
it is. but the carriers are allowed to ask for a delay of 1 update round. the following will then release those updates regardless of the carrier having completed their testing/updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ekashic:
i hope microsoft add APIs of input method
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
maybe, but MS put a full at&t testing lab on site to help with that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Thresher:
That is really interesting. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KingpinEX:
Hopefully Microsoft will add device search that will search apps and people and files...

and a better market place search i don't need to see music when I'm locking for apps…
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
try appfinder, its free in the marketplace.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GT-I9000:
I will explain in as much detail as I can what my problem is.

I am looking to install the Darky Gingerbread Rom, I have already downloaded 7.6 along with the CWM(Update zip)

I am currently using the following firmware

Firmware Version 2.2

Baseband Version I9000XXJPM

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 / root9(at)sep-42 #1

Build Number FROYO . XXJPM

I have a copy of JM8 which I downloaded today and the RAR contains a Modem & PDA file, which if my memory serves me correct, these are 2 of the files i need along with the CSC & Pit File, which I also have.

From what I can gather I need to run JPY to install Darkys Rom (Correct me if I am wrong) so I downloaded a copy of JPY only to discover that the RAR only contained 1 x file called JPY_JPY_JPY. Tar. At this point I am now stuck because I am looking for a PDA & Modem file for Odin3 v1.0 to install.

Please help me as I am getting frustrated as I have tried all day in my quest to get this on my phone.

Many Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all

Best Regards GTi9K
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gbohm:
ok for start this is the wrong sub forum ..... it is for q&a

1.no you don't need jpyu need a rom with 2e recovery or a kernel which supports it...

hope i could clear some things up for you

happy new year
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GT-I9000:
PLEASE IGNORE

I have managed to find the 2e recovery, once again my apologies.

My apologies for posting in the wrong section, shall I delete the thread, Im kind of lost with so many sections.

May I ask where I get a rom with 2e recovery or a kernel which supports it?

Not to sure what I am looking for,

Regards GTi9K
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gbohm:
yes u could use a 2.1 rom or for example hardcores kernel both flashable with odin there are other kernels just read the corresponding threads to be sure what they do(lagfix...) disable every lagfix backup efs and apps(u will perhaps need to flash again) and be sure u have 3btn combo working...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] webstar1:
I think you are new to the community so I will be as basic as possible,

1) Flash XXJPY, you only have 1 tar file that means you flash it with putting as a PDA in odin, and put 512 pit in the PIT section. Then once flashed successfully, let the phone boot then turn off go back to download mode and flash hardcores k12 kernel , just search it on xda in the top right bar. Then flash that in odin and again you will only have one file so place that in pda BUT DONT use a pit this time. Now place darkkys rom in your sd card and power off your phone. Hold volume up, home and power button same time until the screen lights up saying i9000 to go into recovery, select install zip from sd card with the home and volume buttons, then choose zip and select darkkys rom then once install complete, go back and reboot. You are now om darkkys rom. Happy new year :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
To Gregory Q. Brown (Motorola CEO) and the whole company:

You suck. You make me (us) puke. I (we) bought my Milestone and I'm (we're) really angry about it. 2.1 is BUGGY and 2.2 has been initially planned for Q3 2010 then planned for "early" Q1 2011. Are you clowns or what? That's all. I'm (we're) done with you.

So people: who of you are going to buy another Motorola product now that we know how they threat their customers? Please vote in the poll and post a comment.

"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not taking this ANYMORE!" - Mr. Beale
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dlbogdan:
Well, yeah.. they did screwed up a bit but the bottom line is that their products fits ME. The accesories, the hw keyboards I can't live without... all that makes it a deal. Barely, yes. Bootloader locked? wouldn't be a problem to me if the just updated as all other oses update. As os x, linux and windows update.

I have ms1 and played with ms2. I really like them both.

End.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
Well I appreciate your honest opinion but think about them. They're threating us like sh*t. I agree when you say that Motorola products' quality is pretty EXCELLENT but this isn't true when it comes to software! And software is almost 60% of a smartphone. And, IMHO, if 60% of a product sucks, well, the whole product sucks too. I don't want to be left on the edge of the "development road" only because of Motorola laziness!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ekie84:
Well i dont think milestone will be getting froyo,thats what they say......
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Beako:
After owning both the Milestone and the XT720, I can safely say I will never want to buy another Motorola product again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] milestonedude:
no but im going to buy the droid 2 global so i can use ATT 3G and have a free bootloader!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Crashreptila21:
Yes, i will buy another motorola product, but not a phone :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] firez_hn:
No, the music skipping bug that was supposed to be fixed by 2.1 still affects me, the closed bootloader, the 30 fps cap in 2.1 is also annoying and the 2.2 update hasn't been realeased yet.

In the other hand the OS is awesome, I know for sure that the next phone I buy is going to be an android but not from motorola.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
Lol! XD Obviously I meant a product related to the "smartphone" category! :P

BTW is there a way to change the title? I replaced Motorola with Milestone! -_-''
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ChaosKiller:
Well I too am pissed off by the promise of updates while we still don't get them. Remember it said "Flash-ready"? Still lacking that.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AlphaMack:
After seeing what Motorola did with the Droid X and 2, my D1 will be the last Motorola smartphone I get and will keep it until it either dies or I'm forced to a LTE phone.

Totally feel for you Milestone guys though. :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sharljimhtsin:
in fact,i always want to buy another phone like "Milestone 2 - ME722" which with android 2.2 system.

but, no enough money NOW :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
So in the future you will be disappointed because Motorola won't upgrade your Milestone 2 to Gingerbread or Honeycomb...Trust me: buy other brand phones!

I sold my Milestone and I got a HD2...GUYS! IT ROCKS! Gingerbread is already almost FULLY-FUNCTIONAL! Only GPS doesn't work (which is a Gingerbread's issue not a cooked rom's one...). And soon we'll get Ubuntu and Meego running PERFECTLY!

People this is just an advice: LEAVE MOTOROLA ALONE! It doesn't deserve our money... At least HTC, Samsung etc. they let us doing what we want without any limits!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Babis_ECE:
Motorola's Phones are very good devices as hardware. Milestone is my first Motorola and I am very satisfied with its engineering. But they pretty much suck on supporting their products.. Gingerbread is out and officially we are still waiting for FroYo.

I would buy again a Motorola, but just the much-anticipated Tablet that the will launch.

For my next Phone I will definitely choose a Google Phone, so I can have every latest update in a couple of days. A true dev phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
Well, as I said, I LOVED Milestone hardware quality but its "closeness" is way more annoying than having a physical keyboard or a gummy back surface...
