[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Before you get into flashing a ROM, make sure you read this: [Newbie Guide] adb/fastboot/bootloader/android 101

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

Then choose a recovery ROM Manager by ClockworkMod, or Amon_RA recovery.

Both are great tools.

I've used Amon_RA for ever, and recently tried ROM Manager. I was bummed that ROM Manager can not read or even see the backups made by Amon_RA.

However they are both very powerful and feature packed!

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

As newb, you will really want to download/install/purchase Titanium Backup.

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

Asking for a ROM recommendation is kind of pointless will get you lots of comments telling you to just try them and pick one. Because many people here stick to one or another, and others experiment alot. I'm not biased for or against any one ROM, or ROM Baker. As you can see in my sig, I have tried many :)

After you've flashed a few times, made the proper backups, and wiped data between ROMs - you'll be able to made a better decision.

Since you are just starting out, I'd recommend a ROM that's simple and nearly stock:

FRG83(D) by Geo411m

Then as an extreme opposite, there is CyanogenMOD, whom you've no doubt read about.

His ROMs are full of advanced features, highly optimized, and fast!

After trying them out, or if you want something totally different, then try MIUIMOD by RoDrIgUeZsTyLe.

I'm sure you've heard of Gingerbread, right?

Give this one a shot!. It is updated regularly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LFact:
1. To root without unlocking bootloder: you'll need to use SuperOneclick root, but if it doesn't work, you'll have to root your device manually.

2. If you're going to flash custom recovery, I suggest you to stick with one, unless the custom ROM you want to use does not play nice with your current recovery.

- You can't restore nandroid backup with one recovery from other recovery.(I had to make two copies of nandroid backup, one with Clockwork, another with Amon Ra)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proteus665:
after installing amon_ra's recovery, how do i partition my 8gb sd card so that i can have more space on my sdcard for applications? and what does SD:ext2 to ext3 mean?

and what application should i choose to use app2sd and how do i make it work?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_is_surf:
One thing to add - spend the couple of dollars and buy the donate version of Titanium Backup after you root your phone. The paid version allows you to batch install all of your apps and/or data back onto your phone after you flash a ROM.

Of course, you need to be careful if you are flashing different ROMs not to install "all" of the system data back into the new ROM. But it's a very helpful tool and saves you a lot of time.

If you don't want to go with the paid, you can use the free version, but then you are limited to only 1 backup of apps and data. When you re-install them after a flash, you have to click ok/accept to install every single one of them. Which is kind of time consuming, but it still works.
[Galaxy Tab General] mssidah:
I got the Tablet this morning, and was very happy that it arrived so quickly. However, it seems that there is a several bugs in the system that I don’t know what to do about it.

Yahoo messenger will install, allow you to enter your log in information, but will get stuck on yahoo screen with the smiley face, and “loading contact list.” but will NOT load in. Skype and Nimbuzz works fine BTW.

Pandora Radio will not load at all, and will give several error messages. Boots to Pandora splash screen with the following message Pandora http error occurred code: 417 startupAsyncTask

Sling Media player will log in but won’t load the video.

Since I’m deployed in Iraq, it would be much easier to try to fix the problem before thinking of returning the tablet, so, I used Rom Manager, and tried clearing the cached data associated with it. Restored to factory setting. Then I got in contact with Yahoo who after 2 hours of tech support cannot tell me why this is happening. Pandora referred me to Samsung, and Sling Media don't offer support for the tablet, they only offer support to their software. I really don’t have the time and tools to chase tech support from here. Can someone HELP PLEASE?
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
I'm in South Korea, and I cannot get many US based services, such as Pandora, Hulu, even last.fm will not work here. Amazon is asking if I live in the US and will not let me purchase books or music because I am outside the US.

This may be the problem you are having. But I did not have any problem with Yahoo mail using the Yahoo mail app.

Perhaps you need to set the tab for WiFi only? Just a guess.
[Galaxy Tab General] mssidah:
i'm using WIFI, and My tablet is GT-P1000 UK model. Oh one more problem i forgot to earlier. i use VPN, it will let me connect but i will have no connectivity to any thing after that. should i flash my tablet? would that solve the problem? if so is there is a full guide, and files on how to flash a UK tablet to stock ROM
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Its peobibily because you need to be in the uk to use those services. Try a uk based vpn with web access
[Galaxy Tab General] mssidah:
Thanks but i dont think the UK VPN got anything to do with it.
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:

[P3400 General] Blueangel180:
Since my earlier thread was requested to be closed because someone couldn't read through it right i'm reposting it in a simpler easier-to-understand manner

i want an SMS backup solution that backups my threaded messages as TEXT files,TEXT files which i can view using any of the TEXT editors on my computer.something PIM backup is incapable of/

i have searched through the forum and have found only paid solutions,i need freeware which works just as good

Is there any way that that the messages on backup to TEXT retain their threaded structure?
[P3400 General] shantanushukla:
SMS Textual Backup

SMSBackup for WM5/6 is good tool..

I had used it almost year back...

pocketpc-software-downloads.com/software/t-free-pocketpc-smsbackup-wm6-wm5--download-hmtpdbtt.html

This will installed on phone and while you select backup location, preferably use memory card as your backup location..
[P3400 General] huzaifarif:
You can use PIMOrganiser instead of PIMBackup it has all the features for backing up messages and even exporting them to .txt files.

Although i dunno whether the threaded form is kept intact or not coz i tried it on the classic form only.

Hope it helped... :) :)
[HD2 General] gurnted:
I have been trying this for hours now. I can't get the drivers for my 1024leo to install on Vista32. I have installed Windows Mobile sync software and it tries to detect the device, but it keeps ending up the same way....unspecified device and shows up in device manager as unknown

any suggestions?

Okay the 20 some odd times I did this last night it didn't work on Vista32....but after a few tries on XP I got it to work by selecting disable charging while connected to usb sync..
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
Uninstall your antivirus then connect your HD2 via usb.... you should see magic. :D When you've connected and synced (sanc?), reinstall your antivirus. ;)

P.S. If this works, you may have to do this EVERYTIME YOU FLASH YOUR ROM!
[HD2 General] gurnted:
Don't have any installed. I don't use windows normally, just couldn't find a way to flash hspl3 from nix. Same problem with xp & activesync 4.5.

After many attempts and reinstalling the sync apps a cpl times I got it to detect correctly once under both vista and xp, but once I tried to flash the spl...it fails and the devicei goes right back to being unknown.
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
You do have Windows Mobile Device Center installed on Vista and Activesync on XP, right?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Erm, I may not receiving notifications despite having "Background Notifications" ticked. I believe because after a while, the app is being killed in the background and it does restart again to get notifications. I am NOT using any task killer app. So just wondering why is there such an option for "Background Notifications" when it doesn't work after a while? :( Is other Twitter apps also facing this issue? Or how do you solve such a problem? Because I remember trying the Official App and even Plume and Tweetcaster but all the same = i.e. no notifications after a while. :(

[Fascinate General] akanightmare:
was trying to access a game after putting it into my phone and it froze, causing me to take out the battery and restart it.

After that, the phone wouldn't read the memory card but everything was fine.

I went back to stock and still, it's not reading it but everything else works fine. I will eventually have to re-root it but anyone know what the problem is?

after pulling down the upper bar, it says "SD card blank or has unsupported file system." HELP!!!!!!!!!!
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
Do You have a micro sd to sd adapter and an sd reader? If so, does your computer read the info? If not then the card is messed up, and needs to be formatted (lose everything) or replaced. Sometimes cards just die.

If you don't have an adapter and sd reader, then you can try formatting it from your phone but again, you will lose everything.
[Fascinate General] devistator18:
Had a similar problem, in the end bestbuy replaced my sd card as it happened the day I bought my phone. I would start by trying to use it in either another phone or on a computer(like in a usb micro sd card adapter)
[Fascinate General] akanightmare:
seems like the card died because of a corrupted game file,..which sucks!

think I need to get another SD card...dammit.. :(

computer won't read it, phone won't read it..

and like you devastator, i got the phone 5 days ago and had to replace the phone once already because of a crack inside the screen causing dead pixels. blahhh

My company requires us to use Good Technology Client to connect for emails. Has anyone figured out a way to keep this working when playing with different builds?

I use Titanium Backup which restores the data, however Good is unable to connect unless I reinstall and get my help desk to provide a new activation code. I'm sure my help desk is getting sick of calls with me trying the build of the day ;)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sW333t11:
Yes yes, tampering with the hardware of a device voids the warranty. But does it actually make a difference? Cant you just unroot your device, and send it back into the store for a brand new one (if something breaks, etc etc)? I feel kind of stupid asking this question but i honestly dont understand the difference between the two. Answer please?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbetts:
Depends, I'm not sure if you can unroot the Evo. My Moment I could unroot. If the phone doesn't start up, then you're okay.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead_freak:
The first Evo (rooted) I bought fell in the toilet, the right side of the screen stopped working, all I did was uninstall Superuser and any rooted apps via ADB and they never suspected a thing. :cool:

You could still boot into recovery though but they never tried I guess
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
Yes, you can just Unroot but just make sure to flash the S-ON zip first. They are big to say it voids your warranty, but I don't think they really go through phones all that much to check for evidence of rooting. But, don't take advantage of this being an option. It gets old seeing all the people on here who brick their phones because they don't know what they are doing then just returning it for replacement because they didn't read something closely enough. These antics only hurt all of us in the end, just more excuses for Sprint to jack it to us on insurance etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sW333t11:
Nah its not me with the problems, my phone is perfectly fine. I was just wondering because one of my friends wants me to root their phone and such, but they're kind of hesitant because of the whole waranty being voided thing. With the S-On zip though, this unroots the enitre phone back to stock? I forgot to mention this before but the phone that would possibly need unrooting is an Evo purchased a couple weeks ago.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
The if you used unrevoked, the s-on tool sets your nand security back to s-on, and then running a ruu with reflash all stock software. Doing these two things will completely unroot you and make the phone eligible for warranty stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sW333t11:
Got it. Thanks a bunch.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicriggs:
yea when we root its all software crap and so with software its easily taken on and off just gotta know what your doing. As for as hardware mods if you take your phone apart that voids the warranty .
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] koudd:
Hi, I am one of the developers in the acer liquid community and I am thinking about upgrading to a HD2. Now I have seen many videos of roms running android pretty well (most cases better then the liquid) but I was wondering if someone could point me to the most up to date device tree for the HD2.

What things are working? What needs improvment? How much is built from source (if not from source, what proprietary binaries/libs are used and where are they from?)

I hope to join the HD2 development! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atoore:
Welcome to hd2 forums bro, hope you enjoy your stay.

Most of the builds on hd2 was just ports from devices such as nexus one, desire and evo. We never had a build specially made for hd2 because we ran from sdcard instead of ram. Now we have our hands on nand, we will defently see a lot of developers for hd2 coming to make perfect roms instead of just ports. Im really exited to see what hd2 holds for us in feature and sorrry if I did not provide any useful information :D if you want more and better answers, join irc channel on htc-linux or htc-linux-chat, there is awesome poeole in there.

Edit

Forgot to mention, pretty much everything works so far now, thanks to the awesome hd2 developers behind all this. Trust me, you wont regret making the switch to the hd2.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayatoast:
I used my Nexus S without a screen protector, and there was one day when I was using the phone heavily, this part of the screen felt a little rough to the touch when I was swiping it.

Now when I look at the screen I see these faint track marks on the screen that aren't scratches, but it's like something smudged the screen. I have wiped it with microfibre cloth (My Oakleys pouch) but I can't remove this smudge.

It's barely visible when the screen is on but you can see it if the screen is off.

Does anybody else have this problem? Is it a scratch or can I wash this off somehow?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
I have similar spots... it's most likely the oleophobic coating wore off in that area. Not sure how it happens, but it seems to be ****ty coating.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I also have one such small spot that is only visible when the screen is off, and only visible at a certain angle with a lot of light. It's been there since I got the phone. It actually looks like it's under the glass, but I can't tell for sure. I can't feel it. I've been keeping an eye on it and I'll utilize Best Buy's protection plan if it gets worse. Im glad I'm not the only one, but this is a little disappointing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
It's problably the oleophobic coating like others said. I have the same thing on mine, and have been thinking of exchanging it because of it. But I think I might as well keep it, as this phone has no other problems, and I'm sure it will probably wear off any phone I get with due time.

Take a paper towel and lightly go over that area. I bet it comes clean so you can't see it anymore until you wipe your oily fingers in that spot again. It seems oils like to get stuck in those spots unless you clean it with something that absorbs oils, and isn't reused over and over.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayatoast:
Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I am hesitant to do a return as my phone works great with none of the issues faced by others.

I'll try cleaning it as suggested. Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViLANDER:
I had the smudges that Kayatoast talked about. I just wiped it off with a paper towel and it disappeared. I guess we must clean it with something that absorbs oil.

My smudges probably came from the hand lotion...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I've also decided not to return mine because I don't want to get a replacement phone with a worse problem.

As for wiping it off, this may work for others in some situations, but the spot on mine is definitely a blemish/defect. Cleaning it has zero effect.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayatoast:
I used iklear to clean the screen then wiped it down with a microfibre cloth. That took care of the smudge. Then I slapped a screen protector on it and that took care of the smudge..now to get rid of those air bubbles..lol.

I recommend this brand: http://www.protectionfilms24.com/pr...geraeteklasse=7&marke=Samsung&modell=4603&go=

Arrived in 2 days, made by 3M and doesn't affect my screen clarity at all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
I just realized the same type of smudge on mine today. It's not on top of the screen, but seems like it's under it. Like others, I didn't want to exchange it because everything else works fine plus I'm out of my 30 day period with no exchange.

If I remember, I'm probably going to do a warranty exchange before it ends.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treodoc:
When I was cleaning my screen to put on my cheap eBay screen protector, I noticed the same smudge in the middle of my screen. No amount of cleaning removed it completely. On went the screen protector, and "Voila", smudge disappeared :D.

BTW, the eBay screen protector is very close to screen feel as the naked screen and is completely clear. Free with the $3.99 shipped silicone case... gotta love eBay!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
You know, I thought this was a joke until I got the cheap screen protectors that came with the S gel case. Yeah, it disappears. Weird since it looked like the smudge was under the screen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexmaster93:
Phew im glad im not the only one, the smudge is barely noticeable except under light and while the screen is off. Going to try to clean it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Is the smudge you guys are talking about, blue by chance? I have a slight blue streak underneath my screen since it was purchased. To best describe it, it looks like a shiney blue streak from cleaning with windex that never dries.

Hi guys, I'm running rooted 1.0.1 using auto-nooter and LOVING it!!! Can you tell me how I can revert the keyboard back to the stock NC keyboard? Thanks!!
[Nook Color General] ictguy78:
You should be able to go to NookColor Tools then Choose Keyboard. You should then be able to select Multi-touch Keyboard to revert to stock.

***EDIT*** Oops...Auto-nooter installs the DroidX keyboard as default...sorry. Not sure how to get to the stock NC keyboard***
[Nook Color General] shareef:
Actually, that's already what it's currently set to. But that's not the default stock NC keyboard. I know this, because yesterday I reset my NC back to stock (unrooted it) and I clearly remember the keyboard being different on the first Welcome screen where I was prompted to register the device and enter my B&N login information. I'd love to revert to that keyboard to try it out.

As a side note, the Gingerbread keyboard option under NookColor Tools does not work for me.. does it work for any of you guys?
[Nook Color General] ictguy78:
Oh yeah, sorry. Auto-nooter changes the default keyboard to DroidX, right? Sorry for the bad info. I use Smart keyboard Pro and love it. Haven't tried Gingerbread.
[Nook Color General] shareef:
hmmm I'm not sure if it's a DroidX keyboard, I've never used a DroidX.. just a Nexus One. Any other ideas on how to revert to the stock NC keyboard?

Did you try to delete the storage thingy below uninstall updates?
[XPERIA X8 General] DerEineDa:
I flashed back to an older version of 2.1 and still can't find ICQ, eBuddy or Trillian on the market. It must have something to do with the apps, not with the firmware.

EDIT: I found the reason why eBuddy won't install: Since the new version of eBuddy it requires an autofocus-enabled camera, as you can see inside its AndroidManifest.xml-file. The X8 just has a fixed focus camera, so eBuddy won't install.
