For the love of all that is holy, please remove that stupid banner that keeps playing cheeseball hairband guitar riffs while my volume is up. It's aggravating, and it's scaring the crap out of my 1 year old every time I open up a new page.

Seriously though, aren't those supposed to be silenced by default? It's getting really annoying.
[myTouch 4G General] stoneyjonez:
Yeah i actually keep seeing/hearing one for Lysol wipes. So damn annoying and it starts all by itself.
[myTouch 4G General] xdviper:
Use adblock on Firefox and it will block every ad on every site.
[myTouch 4G General] student.driver:
I normally don't use ad blockers and will click on ads if they serve my needs (and they've been pretty good here for the most part), but these noisy ones are just too much and now I've started using them again. Kind of a bummer, as I don't normally mind them (especially if they're text-based).
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Or better yet, use a good hosts file. It doesn't use any system resources to run, and it blocks ads from your PC completely, not just in one browser.

That being said, this doesn't belong in the MT4G section.
[myTouch 4G General] stoneyjonez:
Report it on xda's contact page. I did and actually got a really quick response.
[myTouch 4G General] tackleberry:
Use Firefox addon called no script. I've never seen an ad for Lysol.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wormwonder:
So I am trying to make a backup through Rom manager. I just rooted my droid 1 with superoneclick and installed rom manager (free version). I flashed clockworkmod and when I hit backup, declared a name, the phone reboots and then pops up with a triangle with an exclamation mark, and a picture of a phone next to it. What do I do in this case?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] beanbean50:
tap the power off button when you reach that screen :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kschang:
Pull up recovery mode by hitting volume up, x (on the keyboard), AND power button... reboot and try again. if not, you can always do a factory reset, but consult the other methods first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wormwonder:
Yeah I just pulled the batteries out. I kept doing it until I got to make a backup. I saved it to my computer but how do I use it out when i need it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] he1n3ck:
hi i have a CDMA Hero and i want to root it but the software vs. is 2.32.651.2 is there a way to downgrade my software so i can root my phone? srry if this has been asked before.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atreyu954:
Go to the themes section for the cdma hero and on one of the first two pages you'll see a thread labeled something like "One click root" it's an app one of the guys made that will root you and flash a recovery image in one shot. all you need to do is download it, put it on the sd card, go to the market and get file manager, install the app and follow the instructions, simple and works, I used it the other day on my wife's phone
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
Read the rules, search the forums & wiki and post in the right forums... and don't say it's my post... that's EXACTLY why you need to read! :mad:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srkmagnus:
There is another app called "Z4 Root". You can find it in the Android Themes and Apps sections of the XDA Forums.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wireless.praying.mantis:
The Z4Root apk is probably the best rooting app for the HTC Hero. Once you run the app, it'll install the Superuser one before rebooting. Once the HTC Hero reboots, go the android market and install ROM Manager. ROM Manager will allow you to set up a customizable recovery called Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Once this is done, you'll be able to download customer ROMS to your microSD card for installation in Recovery.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
Alright. So I have been using the Temp root version of Visionary for a while. I was wondering though, does anyone know if the perm root works on the regular Desire, namely the Telstra Desire?
[Desire General] mblaster:
Just use unrevoked, it definitely works on desire...
[Desire General] AndroHero:
VISIONary is for the G2 not desire :confused:
[Desire General] Whiterin:
It works with many devices. The temp root works fine... I just don't want to risk the perm root without knowing if it works or not.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Please it doesn't... as the developer(paul) already stated nandlocked phones will not be supportet for permroot.
[Desire General] dilfatx:
So your saying that nobody that owns a G2 in america has rooted their phone because of the nandlocked issue?
[Vibrant General] ford12acing:
i have multiple access points in my home. my blackberry has an option to switch from access point to access poimnt automatically. is there an option in android to do this as well? im finding that i have to disable and re-enable wifi to connect.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
once the ap is saved in the phone it should automatically connect to the new one once the signal from the old one is dropped. i usually have no problem with mine switching between my inside and outside routers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jdw97702:
Hey ive been looking around but cant seem to find some info I need. I keep seeing people posting about how much battery their builds are using. Just curious is it a app that shows that info or is it android itself?

Just want to be able to see which build gives me the best battery life. Thanks for the help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mo0ody:
It is a widget from the android market called currentWidget

install it .. then add it to ur home screen, it w'll shows u a live battery usage measured by mA

About the battery life and other cool stuff...I highly recommend HD2ONE 0.3.6 [SD] .. It is the most stable BUILD, I've been using it for more than 3 weeks under a daily-use basis with out any problem
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MoneyFist:
Also Battery Monitor Widget is another program.

Not as simple as Current Widget but it has graphs and a few extra bits.

3mA or less while in standby is good consumption.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lief54321:
hello,

i dont know if this question was already asked but i looked everywhere for an awnser but i could not find it....

i am trying t make the /windows directory in my tp2 writtable so that i can change some files around but when i try to change them on my tp2 it gives me access denied when i ty to change via computer it also gives me access denied is there any way i can alter the registry or install something to allow me to change the files in the windows folder ? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ericino:
Are you using a custom ROM or stock ROM?

For editing the registry, you could try using Total Commander.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander. Those programs are able to overwrite \Windows\ directory.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Is there like a thread that gives list of custom boot animations?

im looking to change mine and can't find a good one...

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
only if we could mount sdcard and start adb logcat we could investigate further..

It was nice to roam around in 2.2 :P
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] neptun2:
If we want to create working rom we should know which files from the original ROM are the drivers so we can take them and try to put them in the custom rom.Otherwise froyo will not be able to interact with our specific hardware.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] asn-mat:
you can ask some one more experians in custom roms so he could recognise the drivers

even if he don't have x8

remember: just ask for help , dont be rude and ask for custom rom :p

sorry for my bad english and for my interrubed
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] trapacska:
i am building a working one :) please wait. i have discovered the drivers and etc.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hugerth:
When it will be ready for test?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] isaac12:
nice info... i will waiting:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] trapacska:
i started, i trying, i will share it as soon as i can! i would not like to share sh*t, because the working rom is better than a wrong one. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hugerth:
It's just about changing drivers? I would be too easy I think...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] trapacska:
no, there is some conf file and etc what i have to change.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Share your finds..

One error which i am constantly getting is concerning gralloc any idea whats it about?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bnight:
I want to try this as soon as possible it will be great to have froyo run on my X8.

Thank you for your effort.

And Happy New Year !
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] suhel28:
Best of Luck mate....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] BehradGH:
any progress? any good news for 2.2 froyo for our x8s??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bnight:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] trapacska:
now a little bit work, but just some minutes, and it says system is not responding and restart, but not full restart, just it get to the boot animation and then start.

the first step: i have to make it work, patches and drivers the second step. i tryed much thing to get working it, and i am sure i am not as far as i was.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bnight:
I really hope that you will get this running because as it seams this will be the only way to get Froyo or Gingerbread on our X8.

Hope you will make this works. And if I can help with something let me know.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Hope this helps zdzihu released sources for his x10 froyo rom

Maybe it's power managment, display, or some other driver problem? Or kernel?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
You should begin with fresh AOSP rom and not the spica rom.

Than after making new device makefiles and putting modules and config files in place, compile it.

This way there're way less problems due to prelinks and our original modules and libs load up fine.

See sapphire how-to, search it.

Btw, I've got the AOSP 2.1 rom to load up 3d,sound,wifi,bluetooth .. and its stable as hell, no crashes at all.

But .. anyone interested in it ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
Racht please may you send me the link,

I would love to test and help with this! :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timk1764:
Of course we are post a link :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] robintswe:
Of course, i think almost everybody with an X8 is interested in it!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
Im to interested but only one quastion.

Is there croatian language in this rom and why is better?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
btw is it rooted.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] neptun2:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] suhel28:
I dont understand the concept bro, if tis still 2.1 why so much of hassle when we already av a clean rom ?

EDIT : Dont see ne significant change.. hmmmm
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] propc:
aosp is different. after ported 2.1, porting it to 2.2 is more possible i think. wait for pulpoff.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bnight:
propc let me get straight to test this on my phone I need to copy chargemon to my /system/bin/ after that I need to put the aosp.img and data.img in /sdcard/ASOP and after that just reboot ?

Is this going to cause some problems on my phone ? Like failed boot etc ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] suhel28:
oh fingers crossed hehehe
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] propc:
chmod the chargemon to 755, or refer your current chargemon permission.

copy aosp.img and data.img to /sdcard/aosp

reboot. it should work fine. if it fails to read the imgs, it will boot from internal. safe.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
It's in build.prop when you flash generic 1.6 firmware... ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
Next time when will boot it will boot firmware in internal memory.

Right.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timk1764:
Freezes on hanging up, doesn't seem to connect calls, mobile network (3G) wont connect, no vibrate other then that 2.1 aosp seems fine :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
LOOOL :D yeah, so simple, damn it! If you use your X8 just for games (like friends in my class do, because they're constantly asking us with Android and iPhones to borrow them our phones to play games while sitting in class - sometimes is really boring in school), then AOSP is perfect for your needs! :P

Yes, we might just do that - let's make AOSP 2.2 - to show off our phone to friends, and it'll consume less battery when they play Angry Birds LOL... :P

Sorry for off-topic but I had to... :P

Anyways, has anyone got some progress with 2.2?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Tobi@s:
Do u still upload it? Cause everytime I try to download it it has a different size and the file is damaged?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] asn-mat:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timk1764:
Same thing happening to me!!

Downloaded properly now but you've put on a pattern lock, what is it???
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
I would not mind someone helping in fixing GSM features.

To debug, run "rild" from console.

You will see the errors .. strace will help you (preinstalled in rom).

Good luck..

AOSP dual boot.

insted of giving ext2 image of the aosp, i will give install scrip to enable dual boot for X8. internal/external boot

download 2 files below.

http://hotfile.com/dl/96342536/2b3992c/dual_boot.7z.html

http://hotfile.com/dl/96271467/e080ee4/aosp.7z.html

-extract dual_boot.7z to your sdcard. (/sdcard/dual_boot/6_files_here)-busybox, unyaffs, install.sh, enable.sh, disable.sh, uninstall.sh

-extract aosp.7z to your sdcard and rename to aosp2 (/sdcard/aosp2/img_files_here)

-download any AOSP firmware from the 1st post

-copy only system.img from it to /sdcard/aosp2/

make sure this files present and the folder names is correct according to:

then,

run

su
sh /sdcard/dual_boot/install.sh

this will enable external boot for your phone and creates ext2 image from system.img

then reboot.

your phone will boot from external(aosp)

to disable, run

su
sh /sdcard/dual_boot/disable.sh

reboot

your device will boot from internal again

to enable external boot back, run

su
sh /sdcard/dual_boot/enable.sh

reboot

to try another version of AOSP, just copy the system.img from different AOSP to /sdcard/aosp2/ and run sh /sdcard/dual_boot/install.sh again.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] shpit:
edited...

i know the problem that in the script install.sh

u must remove one of this

busybox mv /sdcard/aosp2 /sdcard/aosp

because it was write twice...remove the first...

sory my bad english...

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

update:

why i still cant booting from external...

install.sh working but still internal booting...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Tobi@s:
Same for me:

Aborted it at this step...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] propc:
make sure the folder name is aosp2..

i've tested the whole steps. try install xrecovery first

try install again. i've tested it without removing any line before posting here. so it should works fine for others too

edit:try the new install.sh in the attachment

updated my previous post.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] shpit:
ah,,changing that line..

Well after messing around with it.

Its a differant framework alot more stable

BUT

there are some downsides atm

there is no;

Camera

Calling

2G+3G Internet

Possibly more.

These will be easy fixes for developers such as racht so keep an eye out on the thread for possible future updates :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] BehradGH:
these are 2.2 roms ? or 2.1?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
Try flashing your firmware again using PcCompanion and then Root 2.1 again.

This may be the problem not 100% sure though

I believe it is 2.2 :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Tobi@s:
No. It's AOSP 2.1
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
Are you going to make a Gingerbrad 2.3 AOSP ? or is it impossible because the bootloader ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
I think he is working on 2.1 for now so he can get the correct drivers and such and then I think it will be alot easier for him to port Gingerbread to the X8
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
Okey but everywhere I' have read that between 2.1 and 2.2 are too much changes :confused: to update/upgrade easyli and is much easyer to update instant on 2.3 ?! .... Sry for bad englisch :D I´m 15 years old ^^
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Tobi@s:
The first step is to get a fully working AOSP 2.1 ROM. Then it is a lot easier to port it to 2.2. And then maybe we can get 2.3.

And btw: I'm 15, too.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] badboybiky:
