[General Questions and Answers] somniloquist:
Hi All....

Glad to be part of such an effective forum.

I've already searched the forum for what i want. Hence starting a new topic.

What i want to do is:

- Play something on my PC. i.e., a movie file.

- Listen to it over BLUETOOTH on my Android phone

WiFi, Internet is not an option for me.

Reason:

I've a new 24' Display and hence wanna view it at a distance using my phone to do the wireless work over bluetooth.

I've used GRemote Pro. Its to just control your pc's mouse pointer mostly.

I need audio to be streamed over to the phone.

Specs:

Win 7 32 Bit

Android 2.2 Phone. SGS i9000.

I've added my query as a general question as it must be the same for all android phones

Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Somniloquist

I am working on making a few flashable zips for when I flash new roms. I have read that to make flashable zips that i need to sign them so I downloaded and installed signapktic. When I go to sign the zip file there are 4 options (testkey, media, platform, shared) which one should I use? Also, I would appreciate it if some one could also explain the differences between the keys. Thanks in advance.

What happened to your other thread?

Just to rectify this is a separate issue the first thread was help rooting the phone and this is help I need flashing to 2.1 - I followed the advice with the post putting the Device ID into the text file - the issue I am having (I think) is that the Solid Green light seems to disappear after some time.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I was also wondering if there was a way I could flash the phone to 2.1 through the phone using my memory card. As in a way I could root my v1.6 then use some tool to upgrade it seeing as my device keeps dropping out when in flash mode.

Thanks.

I tryed flashing a rom without disabling voodoo and know my phone wont even turn on. Any help please!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oirsx2:
If you look couple threads down, you'll see my thread, and I am having the same problem. Slightly different cause, but of the same nature, and the exact same problem. I have not had any real help yet, but I have been scouring the forums here. And I think the only option, if none of the button combinations work, as they don't seem to for me, and you're getting a complete brick, is perhaps the usb jig resistor method... but even that I don't think is 100% because some of the people who created the guides on how to make the jig resistor said it only worked for softbrick, not total brick like our cases. Unless someone can verify otherwise...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Try this. Take your sim card, microsd and battery out. Leave battery out for a few minutes.

Open odin and load with the 512 pit and Jfd tar.

Plug one end of usb cable into computer only

take your vibrant with everything still out of it

hold down both vol buttons (vol up and down) and never let go

do not touch power

while holding down both volume buttons plug in your usb cable into the phone with the other end previously in the computer...do all this while holding down volume buttons and dont let go

now grab your battery with your free hand and while still holding down the vol buttons now plug in your battery

if all goes well your.phone should go into download mode at which pt you can let go of volume buttons.

If this doesnt work you can maybe try the jig if your bootloader is intact

also since you were messing with voodoo you might need to first flash eugenes froyo tbat doesnt brick...im not too sure on this so ask around and look it up.

Then try accessing download mode by first, removing the sd card, sim, and battery, second, plugging in the usb cable, third, holding down the two buttons on the side of the phone, and finally, while holding down those two buttons, inserting the battery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Patience dude. I didn't catch it, but what exact kernel are you using, net has a lot of em, the one in the OP of myn's thread you mean? What recovery(and version of that recovery, some versions of clockwork floating around that have some bugs i think) did you use to flash the rom? what radio version and pri version do you currently have installed? Which ROM were you coming from, and did you do a full wipe(data, cache, davlik cache) before flashing it? I have never experienced anything like you are describing whilst using Myn's, his ROMs have been solid. Give a little more info and surely we can help you get running smoothly again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jataadroid:
thanks for the reply heres the details...myn's rls5, net toast havs more, ra_superson

Sincerely thanks for your reply. Typing this on my evo as my screen tears on and off. Running ra_supersonic(newest ver.) With Myns rls5 on net havs more smartass as listed on page. Updated to current radio and pri as listed on his post. Only dalvik and cache wiped not data. Flashed

Hulu and data governor hacks...CPU is only overlooked to 1190 in smartass and can't go any higher. This was my first root and flash so came from stock 2.2 on 3.30 ver. Have noticed avg using temp is around 103 off charger, cameras broke, my CPU in system panel says I'm running 100% continuously. Did a fast reboot , norm reboot, and still doin it. I had diminished battery life from the get go, I understand battery life per clockspeed relation but have underclocked profile to try to assist, which only cause frustration when coming back from lock screen and its still tryin to switch profile. Lagged the phone nearly locked out several times cuz it couldn't keep up with my fingers.0003 hw....I think that's it. Thank you again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jataadroid:
Looks like we're running nearly the same setup, minus my ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery. I have attempted the stock kernel furnished in the Rom zip but since it didn't offer overclock I switched to net havs more smartass. I do the dalvik and cache wipe each time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
Not trying to be a smart ass but do you realize that by insulting us will not get you any help? Rhetorical question

From reading what you jus stated the obvious problem is you did not do a FULL WIPE as you should do when flashing between roms.

Also next time please be patient as those like myself who browse through this section to help impatient ppl like your self, do actually have a life outside of xda. Its been a big snow storm in the southeast so most like myself included are outside enjoying the snow!

DO A FULL WIPE THEN REPORT BACK!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jataadroid:
Gonna ignore the soap box chatter...

Obviously know I didn't do full wipe.....just gonna wait for other poster
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
gotta do a full wipe if you are switching between roms
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
also make sure whatever kernel your using works with the 3.70 based roms, as many dont.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jataadroid:
Ok. Well crap.... thanks guys since that is apparently my only option.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jataadroid:
The kernel was included in the op and I've seen tags with same setup as mine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
Sorry you feel that way but since i have had the hero, on every thread about a rom says wipe all! This must be a joke for someone as rude as yourself to come on here and disrespect those who are trying to help.

Next time you decide to flash a rom remember to do a full wipe because inside the data partition is files for the particular rom, if you dont wipe, the new files will just over lay but not delete the old one. This will cause conflicting issues within the files as the phone tries to do both at the same time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugbug2010:
Screen tearing and the "jigglies" as I like to call it have always come from kernels - in my experience. And just because someone might have the same set up as you, the way it affects your phone ccan be quite different as you are running different apps, different settings, etc.

First thing I would do if I were you is to freeze any kernel govenor you are using - no setcpu, no secreen off profile, no set on boot, no os monitor govenor, no nothing like that. You don't want want any of that going on when you flash a new rom or kernel.

I know you don't want to do a full data wipe so let's see if we cna get you going without that. I used to HATE doing data wipes, I don't mind so much now because I've learned that trobule shooting can frequently take longer than just doing a data wipe.

I would say #1 make sure you are using AMON RA. Power button-reboot-recovery. Wipe cache at least twice, wipe dalvik at least twice. Now JUST flash the rom (you've already said your radios are updated so you wont have a problem with this). Let the phone boot up and give it time to settle in. You wont have any screan tearing. Now you're running a completely stock Myn's rls5 rom. Check some stuff out, make sure your basic settings are good, make sure your 4g is not scanning, etc.

Make a nandroid of this and keep it.

Now start making changes if you'd like. Flash a different font, flash a different kernel, etc. But leave all the governors OFF until you have a kernel that you KNOW will run ok on your phone. For example - I can run 2 of ziggy's kernels but the others don't work for me. I can run a few of net's kernels, but many don't work for me.

So my basic suggestion is to make sure you get a stable, stock Myn's rls5 on your phone before you mod it. If you can't get that, then yes - you might want to wipe data. Doing a batch backup in Titanium is really easy and it makes restoring very easy as well. It's our own customizing that is time consuming because we are all probably very picky (and proud!) of our beautiful phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jataadroid:
Thanks for the helpful info from ALL that posted. I understand the risk of the non entire wipe, nandroid is safe of original stock Rom but not of new one. After tinkering with setcpu I've gotten more consistent stability. I know I will reflash with an entire data wipe here soon to see results. Running ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery.

I've made list of check point when I test some new Roms and kernels. I have some more question on backing up user info from backed up apps but Im sure ill find it on here.

Now that my system is stable for the time being, some one mind help me setup irc? And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it. Ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery i like also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
You're welcome. I am late at getting back to this post, but yea. Definitely. As everyone else has suggested, you have to do a full wipe when changing ROMS. Only time you could get away with just wiping davlik cache and cache is when upgrading the same rom ( like from rls 3 to rls 4, and rls to rls 5), but even then, it doesn't always work. Full wipe is always recommended. I would also recommend downloading your apps one at a time from the market, and adding your mods one at a time, make sure everything is stable after each flash. Good luck.

If your phone is the newer hardware (late 003 or 004), you can only use the stock kernel, or a kernel based off stock for the camera to work. That would be htc #15. I believe Net's 4.3 kernels are based off of that. I am also pretty sure that Net explains that in his kernel thread in the development section.

Thanks guys did the full wipe and reflashed, working ok except SD file permissions are screwed up now. I go to test camera and it says insufficient file permissions when I take a pic. I go to check in astro, I see all the file that are supposed to be there but no editing; it still shows rw. Did not have card in when full wipe was completed would that effect it? Any help? Haven't attempted another SD card. I hope this isn't the second SD card to be trashed during my rooting process. Atleast I can still see that there r files on there. Thanks for the help.

Also any help gettin set with irc? Still having a horrible time trying to work with it....it seems so simple.... so 0003hw are stuck with stock roms or ones based off them...I believe nets kernel on that page was. I will test it out and let you know. I just need to know about the SD card problem. Thanks again guys.

Theres been lots of issues with 3.70 based roms. I always stick to lower versions..usually 3.30 and have no problems.. i also hace seen alot of people having battery problems on 3.70 after updating to 1.90 pri. They usually downgrade to pri 1.77 and there good.....

Now is any reason as to why that happened and how to prevent in the future. Thanks again guys for the help. I'll def read up more on the kernels out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
I had my SD card screw up too, hence my little tutorial on how to fix it. I guess it's just because we screw with it so much (flashing roms, flashing kernels, doing nandroid backups, apps2sd, etc etc etc) that sometimes something just goes wrong and the sd card messes up.

In terms of problems, a messed up sd card is a pretty easy one, a replacement 8GB costs like nothing compared to the new phone you'd have to buy if other processes screw up.

A little reformatting and it's all done, it's not a common problem but it sure is an easy fix.

As for IRC, here's the link

http://webchat.freenode.net/

channel is #HTC-EVO

once you get in there, it's just a matter of asking one of the regular users how to work everything. It took me 5 or 6 days before I finally got the hang of it. I would sign in tonight and help you out but I just helped a friend celebrate his b-day and watched Duke lose to Florida State (I'm an OSU Buckeyes fan) so I'm quite plastered.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jataadroid:
Ok how about this one...one of the 8g SD cards that came with previous evo isnt recognized by either pc or evo when plugged in? No idea as to why myself.

Thanks for the info

Something I just noticed in the midst of browsing your reply is that I can't scroll in more then one direction? No diagonal scrolling? Not sure but I don't remember this being an issue before....hmm
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jataadroid:
How could my phone suddenly unmount the SD card on its own? How can it do that? Wtf?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
The sd card not being recognized is an issue that i cannot think of a reason for. you should be able to mount it through settings and then format it (it doesn't need to read the sd card, just know that it's there) but if it's not being recognized then you might have to start anew with another sd card. when mine was acting screwy i was just getting errors when trying to flash things and "file permission" errors when opening stuff. I haven't had the "it can't be recognized" thing happen yet.

You said 'previous Evo', does that mean you have an 8gb that still works? If so, then I would just use that one and ditch the other one. It sounds like a hardware problem to (as in, broken sd card) and if one works then you know it isn't your phone. If no sd card works, it could very well be your phone since your rom is up and running perfectly and you might need to exchange it or get it fixed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMagicalSock:
I just browsed this thread so I may be restating what you guys have already said, but a complete wipe between ROMs is not an option, but rather a requirement, unless your are flashing an updated version of your current ROM.

Always nandroid, wipe, and then install a new ROM. You will almost never have issues this way. Make sure your contacts are backed up with Google and your apps are backed up with Titanium Backup and there is no reason not to do a full wipe.

Edit: Aaaaaand that was off topic. OP, perhaps try formatting both cards on your PC. I can't think of a reason why your phone wouldn't recognize them, unless your SD reader has gone out, which seems unlikely.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
That's why I told him to test his sd cards, lol. If one works fine, then the other card is messed up. If neither card works, well the odds have become greater that the card reader on his phone is messed up.

I suppose he could always blame it on SBC. It won't be long before Oprah does a show where she claims it was the reason for slavery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Good to know..so your saying people flash a newer 3.70 rom and the kernel that comes with it from the dev is not compatable 1.90 pri. So uou have to either downgrade your pri or switch to a compatable kernel?

Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
No, what I'm saying is just the opposite. I don't understand why this is so hard to understand.

Roms are NOT like cars. In a car you can buy a car from the 70's and put in an engine that was built last year. You can buy new cars and put alternators made for other cars on them. You can do these things with a car. You CANNOT do them with software and you CANNOT do them with roms.

Okay, I'm not sure if I can say it any easier than this. With each OTA from Sprint, we get a new PRI, a new kernel, a new radio, etc etc etc. Those pieces of software are designed to work together. So, when you flash an old kernel (like most of the ones in xda currently are until the devs release new ones) with the new software it will NOT work. It'll cause mass cpu usage, your camera won't work, your screen will tear, etc etc. Now, when rom devs update their roms, they're updating it to the most recent upgrades. 3.70 roms with PRI 1.90 and #15 kernels.

So, when you go and use a kernel from a previous update that is not compatible with the newest software, you're sabatoging yourself. The key is to READ (reading FTW) the kernel threads to see what they're compatible with. Then, after you're sure, then you flash.

When I said the kernel was always the problem, what I meant was that people do NOT read enough and flash the wrong kernel.

Upgrade everything or upgrade nothing but don't mix and match, it's a stupid idea.
