Not true

The back metal cased is used to amplify the antenna and GPS reciever. Ive taken apart and repaired many HD2's.. There are little contact points linked with micro coax cables from the radio... take a look at those little silver contacts next time you take off your battery cover. there are 2. just some helpful info. It can still be painted with no ill effect..

The copper layer covering your components internally actually acts as a heat...

Also it would be obsurd to use a battery cover as a heat sink..
[HD2 General] Fmstrat:
Hey,

I know I'm bringing this thread back from the dead, but I'm curious as to how this paint job has held up over the long run. I've been thinking about painting mine white and getting the white digitizer cover to make it white underneath the screen as well, but am worried about long term wear.

Thanks,

Ben

[Streak 5 General] emma999:
My battery meter does not seem to be working after I updated to 2.2. The only way to get an accurate reading is to take the battery out and put it back in. I have reset to factor settings, I have reloaded 2.2. I am wondering if anyone knows how I can fix - is there some driver that can be reinstalled.

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
did you use the circle kitchen to make a new framework-res.apk? this will show you a percentage in the battery meter.
[Streak 5 General] emma999:
I can see the percentage. The problem is the meter is never right since the update. The battery physically stays charged all day, but after about 4 hours it shows 1%. If you take the battery out and put it back in and turn it on, it will show the correct amount. This goes on all day so I never have an accurate battery reading. I've run a couple of different battery apps and they say the battery is fine and in good health, so I am assuming there is something in the battery driver that got messed up with the update. I have restored a couple of times and that has not helped.

Any other ideas would be more than appreciated.

Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
flash a custom recovery and from there you can clear the battery stats, maybe that'll fix it.
[Streak 5 General] emma999:
I thought about that, but it may be too complicated for me. I have been reviewing all the information in and it may be beyond by ability, but thanks so much for the replay.

Thanks for your excellent post! Would it be possible for you to upload your fpseCE configuration file? I am having problems getting fpseCE working, every rom i load just exits the program...
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] bryan5255:
First of all it might just be the version of fpsece you're using. I had some issues with that myself for a bit. Make sure you're using fpsece 0.10. You can get that here.

http://perso.numericable.fr/schtruck/FpseCE_010.zip

I've also attached my fpse.ini file as well in case it isn't just the version you are using. You are still going to need to edit the keys for your games like I mentioned in my first post to get those properly working.
[Vibrant General] stoanhart:
Hi guys

So I installed Nero v3 on my Vibrant, and all is well. I followed the steps on the Nero thread. I like it very much.

Then I decided to flash my gf's phone. It seemed to go well at first, but then some odd stuff started happening. First, I can't open the "Settings" menu - nothing happens. Second, lots of stuff force-closes all the time.

Those two are minor issues, though. Somewhere between 5-15 minutes after flashing, the entire GUI will force close. The phone will vibrate, then the Team Whisky logo will appear again (as if rebooting), and the GUI will appear and begin the regular startup procedure. It will get as far as "Preparing internal SD card" before the GUI will crash again. This cycle continues indefinitely. Once it has begun, not even pulling the battery and rebooting it will solve the problem.

Any advice?

My plan is to find a way to back up the SD card data and format it, since it always crashes on "Preparing internal SD card." However, I doubt this will help, since the other issues (constant force-closes) don't seem to have anything to do with that.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Was her phone stock before you started tinkering with it?

In any case I'd suggest re-download nerov3 (to avoid corrupted download issue), ODIN back to JFD (remove the ghosts from the past ROM's) and reflash.
[Vibrant General] stoanhart:
Phone was stock aside from rooting for the purpose of TitaniumBackup. It has never had anything installed on it.

I'm currently Odin flashing back to stock, and I'll give it another shot.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Good luck!
[Vibrant General] stoanhart:
Well, I did the Odin flash to stock, then installed Nero. After first boot, I left it untouched for 20 minutes or so, and then did a clean reboot. Upon starting up, I was once again stuck in the loop.

Boo :(
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Did you re-download nero? It might be a corrupted download, I haven't seen anyone with the same symptoms.

Does it happen if Voodoo is disabled?

EDIT: Saw that you didn't even have a chance to enable it, hmm, try a different ROM? Axura or Eugene's work.
[Vibrant General] stoanhart:
No, I didn't try re-downloading it. Perhaps I'll give that a try, although it is the same file I flashed onto my phone.

After a bit of time playing with Nero, though, I'm considering going back. The parts that work are slick and wonderful, but it very much feels like beta software. In particular, scrolling lists or web pages is choppy. I've heard this criticism of Android before, but I've never experienced it with the original Vibrant software. It was always so smooth. It makes me think that maybe Samsung was using GPU acceleration in some places. Also, I seem to have some problems with the touchscreen becoming unresponsive, especially in the browser if it's blocked waiting for data (another bug...).

Is it possible to run the JL5 modem on the stock image? That would be great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cmw6300:
Hi all,

I have searched the forums here for an answer to my question but I couldn't find what I needed. What I am trying to do is to revert my wifes phone back to stock 1.5 as it came out of the box to see if I can get her teh OTA updates. I have read how to load ROM's and such but I would like to get back to completely stock. When I go to the fastboot screen this is what I see:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Oct 21 2009, 22:33:27

I also can't get in to the recovery by pressing and holding home and power. When I do that it just shows the triangle sign with the exclamation point and a phone pic.

Thanks for any help you guys could give me. I have a Vibrant and that thing is so much easier to mess with.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I don't think the OP has the myTouch 1.2 unless they got the wrong SPL flashed. It looks like they flashed the OTA SPL update for the 32B and then flashed the 1.2 radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Right on. Didn't notice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cmw6300:
That is what happened. It is the original MyTouch 1.2. I heard the 1.2 radio was better so thats why I flashed that. Would I have to flash the DangerSPL to revert back to 1.5, then start the OTA over again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
The easiest way would be to try running the stock sappimg and updates. I've put a guide up to do that in one of the threads on the first page. I think it was my thread on rooting, not the one for the myTouch 1.2, the other one.

[Droid 2 General] pixl8d:
Are there any custom kernels out yet for the DROID2? I've searched high and low online and I'm not seeing any, the reason why is I'm looking to run Ubuntu on the Droid 2(as detailed on NexusOneHacks ) and I keep getting a no loop device error, which from what I've seen means it isn't enabled in the kernel.
[Droid 2 General] Phoible:
No. The bootloader is locked, making custom kernels impossible (unless someone figures out how to crack/bypass the signature verification process).

However, it may be possible to get Ubuntu working if you can build whatever Ubuntu requires as a module (you can load the module with insmod). You could then use the stock kernel with the mobile Ubuntu files from the N1. You would probably have to make significant modifications to the rest of the system to get it to work properly on the Droid 2.
[Droid 2 General] Knowpig:
The ROM Download page for Liquid 3.0 shows downloads for chevyno1 kernels for both the Droid2 and the DroidX.

Is it possible to flash different kernels on this device?

If so, can you please provide details and instruction or perhaps provide a link to further info?

Thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
First of all, are you rooted? If so, download ROM Manager, flash your recovery, download a ROM like Nero v3, drop it on your SD card, enter ClockworkMod recovery, and install the .zip file.

If your not rooted, download z4root first (google it) then install, and root your device. Then follow the above

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Did you flash clockworkrecovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
If your phone is rooted, then the steps I provided above should work.

1. Download ROM Manager

2. Flash the 2.5.1.2 ClockworkMod Recovery

3. Download Nero v3 from a computer, and Drag-n-Drop it onto your Vibrant SD

4. Restart your phone in CWM Recovery, clear cache, wipe data, click Advanced, clear Davlik cache, click install from SD, install a .zip from SD, then install the Nero v3 .zip

5. Reboot, WAIT 15 MINUTES...REBOOT AGAIN... and you should be good.

6. To enable voodoo, open SD card from phone, delete "disable_voodoo" under the voodoo folder, reboot to recovery (NOT FROM ROM MANAGER, BUT FROM LAUNCHER) (SHOULD BE A RED RECOVERY), goto voodoo lagfix, press enable, then reboot....REBOOT WILL TAKE AROUND 10 MINUTES, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE!

FOLLOW STEP 4 CLOSELY!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
Ok, from the blue recovery, you need to wipe all data on your device, clear the cache, then click Reinstall Packages...this should bring you to the green recovery

ensure you can at least get to the green recovery before you attempt ANY of the steps i mentioned earlier...those assumed you could get to the green recovery...once you know you can get the green recovery then you can add the file to your sd and flash
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
it may take a couple of tries, but ensure you have cleared all data and cache and keep trying the "Reinstall Packages", eventually you will get the green recovery...it took me 3 times before I got it

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _fm:
When you are inserting your adb command as the instruction, your device is still connected with CHARGE ONLY mode,

To insert the .zip file, you need to change it DISK DRIVE mode, and your memory drive will be shown,

You can change it by showing your notification bar, or go to setting-connet to pc, and choose DISK DRIVE,

Put the zip in the root directory, and reboot to bootloader, the DHD will now flashing the rom,

* Place your ROM , rename the rom to "TG01WP_00.tsw" on the PRG folder.**

* Execute the SDDL+ at your SD Card to initialize the flashing.

**Note: Sometimes the SDDL+ Reports file not found, in this case, you may need to rename the rom to "TG01WP_00.tsw". After this, the ROM should flash properly.

It has been a while since i started using android on my HD2 (july 10) and a lot of beatiful things have happened thanx to the developers.

There is still one simple thing i cannot manage to solve :

SYNCING via USB tasks without paying

1) i don't want to send my appointments and task to a server in order to sync them, i like privacy

2) I don't like to pay , i prefer to donate...

Is there a valid solution out there?

I use Linux (at home-Evolution) and Windows (at work-outlook)

I need to sync Linux-Android-WM-Outlook and i prefer to do it by USB cable (or BT or Wi-Fi, but not via external server).

Please let me know which SW you use for contacts and appointments (I use Myphoneexplorer at the time, but any piece of advice is welcome) and, above all, if something to sync TASKS exists (GOATS could be an answer, but no widget...)

Hope this is the right place to post this...

So, I was inspired by the Solar Winds Live Wallpaper (free on the Market and shown in the screenshots) to create a very translucent theme. What's the point of having such a nice wallpaper if you can't see it most of the time right?

So this is starting to turn into a real theme now :D Here's a list of the current features:

Translucent Music Player

Translucent & Inverted GMail

Translucent Market

CRT TV off shutdown animation

I personally use ADW Launcher since it allows the clear background you see below. Just set the "alpha" bar all the way down.
