I've heard it's a bad idea to install kernels without first allowing the phone to fully boot. I've never tried it myself, I just convert to rfs without any backup or restore (using the ULF included in hardcore's Speedmod kernel) before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] alabamaroping:
Stupid Questions

This is a stupid question (two actually). I think the answer is YES, but I'd like to make sure...

I've installed several ROMs by the "standard process."

Is the "update.zip" on my internal SD card the one that has cwm?

Does running "reinstall packages" from stock recovery just apply the "update.zip"?
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
You've been lurking for a year and a half on these forums and never once posted a single thing worthy of someone being inclined to hit the "thanks" button. Not once.

It's nice to see with your most recent post that you aim to stay consistent.

*Didn't notice the lack of punctuation

I R Gud Reeder.

*I think punctuation is way over rated

Cuz basik ruls R dum

*.....So these Cretans could understand this.

We capatiliyze the werd "cretans" nao?

So, I proved your point that it is possible to decipher posts made with poor spelling / punctuation / run-ons / etc.

And I also proved my point that it hurts an intelligent person's eyes and brain to have to come down to that level to digest something as basic as the English language in written form.

You could probably figure out how to breath through your eyeballs if you were stubborn enough, does that make it a good idea?

Carry on. :D
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Yes, thats correct. Once you have the clockwork update.zip on the root of your sd if you boot into recovery and its the regular 2e, just hit reinstall packages. You might have to twice to get to the green txt clwockwork recovery.

EDIT: any file named "update" on the root of your sd is installed with reinstall packages for example alternate recoveries and/or rooting files. But you want to keep the Clockwork one on there to always have the option to restore a backup incase you bork your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
Just to let you know, the thanks button came about the same time you started. So because it was here when you started, you probably thought it was always here.

Btw, I went and looked at the times I'd been thanked, none of em were for my postings being helpful, just people liking what I said I guess.

From a phone
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
I always Master Clear.
[Captivate Android Development] evoic:
I was unaware.

Thanks for the heads up.

It's not that I hold a ton of stock in the amount of times that someone has been thanked.....but really, what other indicator is there for me to go by?

Again, I was unaware of it being added just before I registered, thanks for pointing it out.

As for the person I was originally commenting to, he was a bit bothered by my post.

I tried 10 times to respond to him privately, but he has me blocked?

Is this possible?

As a rule of thumb, I'm the exact same as I am online, as I am in person.

This is due to the fact that I spend time on forums where I actually interact with the people in real life and I would hate to be called out for being fake or a fraud.

What you see, is exactly the response that you would get if you were spouting such useless nonsense in my presence in real life.

I do not speak unless I'm prepared to except the consequences.

There's not much I can do to persuade you that this is true, and there is also not much chance that you will accept it as fact because you have the option to believe whatever you like on the anonymous internet.

....except it's not anonymous to me or for me, as I mentioned above.

So, take from this what you will.

However, I assure you, the words would still come from my lips, right to your face, whether they sting or not.

(By the way, it's, "that's"...not, "thats".....but who's keeping track?)

Everyone, I implore you: "Have a great day filled with adequate punctuation" :):):)

1. Cotulla is working on meego development as well as wp7 which is dividing his time.

2. Next version of magdlr will have some kind of pinball game??? possibly pong instead of tetris?

* correction: Arkanoid, not pong

3. Somewhere in New York, a guy was spotted with a chinese HD2 running wp7?

4. A new hd2 wp7 video has been posted which is supposedly quite convicing.

Preemptive strike!!

Though it hasn't gone off topic just yet, threads like this are notorious for personal information being leaked, users getting flamed and severely off-topic discussion.

Don't let this happen guys. As long as the thread remains civil and on-topic, the thread will remain open but if it goes astray, I WILL be closing it.

Just a general warning to all...

-dh
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dharvey4651:
Ok.. Seems my first warning wasn't enough. This is not the place to discuss illegal activities such as cracking pvk on WP7. I'm not going to deny that it is being done but it is surely going to create a problem at some point down the road. I would like to prevent it as long as possible so please keep this discussion private or take it else where.

This thread is in regards to the WP7 release via the DFT and updates from them. Not unofficial news regarding illegal activities.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] radiance26:
Yes everyone is exciting on DFT. For some reasons (don't know why) they believe WP7 will be out in some hours.

As I understand this screenshot was found on a microbloging client from DFT.

hi there,

for a while, i was using the htc mail app (not gmail) and everything worked fine with the email notifications in the taskbar on my desire z...

until i decided to check out the gmail app (for labels aso). so i deleted my account settings in the htc mail app and entered all in the gmail app. however, i wasn't happy with the gmail app (missing to many features) and went back to the htc mail app, reversing the account stuff (for the my main mail account meaning only to un-tick the mail-sync).

now, i don't get notifications on the taskbar, if a new mail arrives. i checked the preferences and turned everything on, that looked like a notification setting... what am i missing?? anybody else with a similar issue?

thanks and cheers,

I think people should get warnings when they post in the wrong section like this. It was obviously titled that way, in this section of the forum to get a bunch of people to look at it. 3 warnings earn a day ban, another one = a week, another = a month, another = ip ban
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
Wont help with noobs to the forums. Who even reads forum rules when they join anyways? Most are the same anyway. IP ban = worthless unless the person is on static IP. Most time people can either unplug modem/router and get new IP or spoof their routers MAC to get a new IP or other software solutions.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebig88:
So I just installed Nerov4.1 which I must say I'm loving. However, my curiosity is making me want to check out axura's rom as well. I've read and seem some videos that state you should restore the phone to stock mode before installing another ROM. Is this true or can I just install another ROM through ROM Manager without having to do so? If I should restore my vibrant back to stock what is the best and easiest method to do it? I just want to make sure I'm doing the steps correctly when switching from ROM to ROM. Thanks for helping a newbie out fellas!

Thanks for the response but do I have to go back to stock mode each time I want to try a new ROM??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feelers:
I'm very much just a noob, but as far as I'm aware you MUST disable voodoo. Vodoo comes automatically switched on in 4.1. If you are going back to stock this must be done.

I think you can go into clockwork recovery and turn it off. Or there's an app in the market that will be able to confirm/ switch it on or off I think.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZachLL88:
Depends, but is recommend.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebig88:
Depends on?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I wrote steps in the noob guide... but as I pointed out there also, you do not always need to go back to stock.

I would disable voodoo (just to be safe)

make a backup

reboot

go back to cwr

factory wipe/wipe data/wipe dalvik (advanced)

flash the rom

reboot and wait

let the phone sit for 10 minutes

reboot

restore your apps (titanium Backup, assuming you use this app)

reboot

enable voodoo if not already

reboot

If you notice any issues then you should ODIN back to stock the flash the rom.. there may be "ghosts" from the previous rom causing the issue... it's a best practice, but absolutely not needed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspigr:
You mean that all data from internal disk will be erased, inculding the titanium backups?

Hey peeps! :D

I have this new idea for a app that runs on phones with secondary front cams.

Unlock the screen by it doing a face recognition of your face, no need to passcode or pattern lock it...

Hope to see it soon.

If an app like this is alredy available, please post it here, if not - DEVELOP IT AND POST IT HERE! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xav1979:
thats a great idea, the tech already works well enough on laptops so hopefully some bright spark can make it a reality
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] timmy16744:
Would it always have the camera running or only when a button is pressed. I can definitely see this being possible and not too hard to dev.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] reflux21:
Exactllly! And still, only noobs like me are seeing seeing this stuff... :D Some real programmers! Do this!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] reflux21:
Camera will wake up as soon as the screen wakes up, and if it sees you, it should unlock.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] reflux21:

Maybe someone can rip off the api's from goggles and make it work offline :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] hellhand:
Not a bad "concept" but not likely to be done until Gingerbread is used by all the phones.

You see the api to access the ffc on Froyo is very phone specific wich would only make this app run on the Galaxy S (other phones would work also but with a lot of work).

Second problem is how would you unlock your phone when it's complete black (I mean no light at all) would be a very stupid situation to find yourself in isn’t it ? :)

Okay, so i've been playing around with theming for 2 months and i've just about figured it all out, except for one thing.... the VZW banner on the lock screen for the D2 doesnt seem to give two ****s what i put in any of the keyguard .xmls that is supposed to control the layout and keeps on just being white...

im running fission 2.5.7 and i've tried everything that is supposed to do the lockscreen on the xml side (as far as i know) including the colors.xml in the values folder(more on this issue later)... so i started poking around .jar files in the framework but unfortunately i have little understanding still of .smali files because im still on the baby steps side of coding beyond the beginners html stuff i learned in the 6th grade ('99) and i could use some help/pointers toward i should be looking for.

i noticed mentions of wakelock (or something like it, its 2am and im mentally fried right now) in one of the smali files in a telephony folder in framework.jar but im just not sure if it is even close to the right thing because it may just be the phone doing something to the cdma radio on wakeup....

I'm open to try any suggestion you guys are willing to throw at me because finishing this project is important to me.

every guide i have been able to find so far just mentions line 7 and 8 of the .xmls in layout, if you find another idea besides that already posted send those too...

ALSO, when i edit colors.xml and then compile and push framework-res.apk to the phone i get 2 results depending on what i do

1) move the file that values folders gets turned into into the original framework-res.apk and get a boot look

2) use the newly compiled framework-res.apk (in whole) and lose the functionality of lockscreen selection app...

any idea on how to make this work would also be awesome

may end up having to work with the devs in the chatroom on this issue (im sure) but its also somethign i want to do so i can change the text colors of sound on/off (along with a couple other default text colors)
