[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
Yes if you want to change anything

You need Koush's Bootstrap to bootstrap Clockwork recovery onto your phone no other recovery works without it. (I'm a D2 owner and have used the boostrap for everything and have never used another recovery that others have.)

The SBF does no good on your phone the only reason you have it is in case you screw something up then you won't be able to get into your phone to get it. keep it on your computer because that's where it needs to be if your phone freaks out. Also think about learning something about linux or VMware for SBF flash purposes as there is no native way to flash an SBF on Mac OS as far as I know.

It's as dangerous as you make it. If you start flashing things without reading the proper steps at least five times (maybe a bit much:D) or do not have a recovery plan (i.e. know how and what you need to flash the SBF should things go awry and have all essentials handy) The benefits of running a Custom ROM like Fission is something each person has to look into on their own.

As I said before the only problem with running a Mac is that there is no way to flash an SBF file from it without installing a Virtual Machine program that runs Windows and use RSDlite or use a linux live CD to flash it within Linux.
[Droid 2 Global General] eaglewwit:
Thanks,

So all I really need to do is load z4root, and then Bootstrap and Clockwork.
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
Yes z4root then Bootstrap which contains Clockwork. nothing else.
[Droid 2 Global General] demon28:
Sorry to jump in your conversation but I'm also a newb at rooting but where would you get the z4root app and where would you find roms to review and load.

The link to the app and the info is in this thread. Read through the thread a little before trying to root, otherwise you may run into some unpleasant surprises!

Hey everyone. First post, long time lurking. Thanks, in advance, for all the help you've given me just by letting me read!

Two problems:

Power Amp (Full Version) was running just fine for a couple months, then suddenly force closed every time it ran. Uninstalled, attempted to reinstall, and now I get an error message every time I try to reinstall saying there isn't enough storage space on my Internal SD (5.12gb free). I tried installing it on the External SD (32gb) but no such luck. Any idea how I can get it to run again?

Secondly, I'm only able to use internet browsing features while connected to WiFi (tried multiple browsers: Opera, Dolphin HD, Skyfire & Default) - no connection when I'm on either HSPA or 3G. All other data using applications work fine on the network or on WiFi (Facebook, E-Mail, etc). Ideas?

Thus far, I've tried rebooting, re-installs of all relevant software, market cache clear (longshot for the power amp fix). Any help is much obliged.

[General Questions and Answers] s0cc3rstud:
I dont about the data or internet, but if you have a rooted phone use uninstaller for root to uninstall any app that you dont use even the stock ones that come the phone or rom, hopefully that give more memory to install that app again!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] antastic:
Thanks for the crack at a reply, man. Unfortunately, that's exactly the oddness of the problem that I'm dealing with; there's more than enough storage space available on both my Internal and External SD cards to install the application, but it won't install. Other applications can install just fine, for whatever reason.

Browser still not connecting outside of WiFi either. I repeat, other data applications (e-mail, Facebook, maps, etc.) enjoy full functionality.

Thanks again for the effort. Anyone else have any ideas?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RedWave31:
Hello,

I've been starting to cook my own rom under Clockwork, but ran into trouble when putting apps into system/app. They aren't installed on boot, because they aren't from a trusted source.

*SwypeInstaller, for example, is given through e-mail by the swype team, but cannot be cooked, as it doesn't come from the market (need "allow untrusted sources to be ticked)

*I understood signing isn't enough, and that a custom certificate is needed?

I'd like to know how to do that kind of stuff, in order to batch-cook some roms, and to avoid manual install or titanium install or recovery install of system apps.

>Good example is fasterfix, install like a charm upon first boot

I'd need a very simple explanation, i know how to use adb for example and zipsigner and stuff, but i'm not really into the Linux thingie :p

Edit : A way to disable certificate check on first boot will do as well ^^

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RedWave31:

[G Tablet General] EwanG:
Just for background, my phone is a Nexus One, and my current tablet is an iPad WiFi 16GB.

I'd like to get a 10" tablet to replace the iPad so that my middle daughter who is handicapped could have the iPad (a number of programs for speech synthesis and Sesame Street). The programs I use on my iPad are (in general order of use):

Gmail

Safari

Alien Blue (Reddit app)

GoodReader

Filer

LogMeIn

Kindle

I presume once I flashed the device to one of the custom builds (TinyTap 3 is that correct) I could then access the Android Market where I could get most of these (is there a GoodReader equivalent for the Android)?

Given the above, would you get a ViewG now, or wait for one of the tablets announced at CES? So far from what I've seen, most of the "newer" tablets will have better screens, but otherwise won't be any more powerful, and will likely be a couple hundred more to purchase.

Your assistance in deciding would be appreciated!
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
From what I have read the new tablets at CES are no better, and the screens are no better. I think this tablet is a heck of a deal right now for the price and will continue to be so. The newer ones are probably going to cost much more. The G tablet has the newest hardware, and should be able to updated for quite some time.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
The thing that worries me is that even if a new tablet comes out with a better screen, there's a good chance that it's either going to be tied to a carrier and a data plan, or be priced unreasonably (to me). I just want Wifi for my tablet.

So, to me, if you're willing to get a data plan to get a tab w a nicer screen, or willing to pay an unreasonable price for such a tab, then wait.

Otherwise, get a Gtab...

Jim
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Any reason why you decided to get an android tablet instead of waiting for ipad2? Since you are using ipad and familar with it. Just curious, that´s all. If you can wait,i would wait for the asus transformer. Better screen + similar hardware + same base price.
[G Tablet General] EwanG:
For myself I'd like to have access to a system that runs Flash - having written a few Flash games and all :D

I also highly doubt that the iPad2 will be that much of a competitor to the Android tablets. While the iPad/iOS market has the current lead - which is why I feel comfortable giving it to the daughter who will need the specialized software - it seems quite likely that the Android tablets will have somewhat better hardware this generation, and by next year I fully expect Apple to return to the "niche" market that they had been in for so many years.

In fact, I waited several months after the iPad was introduced feeling sure there would be an Android tablet "shortly" that would be at least as good. It finally became obvious that wasn't going to happen in the second half of 2010.

For me the big surprise was just how much I COULD do with the iPad. I've completely stopped using my laptop and netbook (had one of each). Which is why I'm looking for another tablet.

Asus Transformer looks interesting, but I'm worried about the weight. The iPad is on the edge of what I feel comfortable carrying all day, and the Transformer looks like it will add at least another half pound. And the prices I've seen have been a fair bit above $350 (unless you were comparing to the iPad in which case I agree it's competitive).

FWIW...
[G Tablet General] EwanG:
Well, y'all have convinced me (the little bit more I needed convincing). Have one on-order that I should be receiving on Friday.

So, once I get it, do the OTA update, or just go straight for Vegan or TapLite or... ?

I opted for vegan because I don't like the settings app in tntlite it uses the limited viewsonic settings. Oddly though I prefer the notifiaction bar in tnt
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jirafabo:
Wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

I've done two Nandroid backups on two different Evo's today. One was with Clockwork recovery and one was with Amon_ra. Both seemed to stick on the white htc EVO 4G screen after rebooting. Both are running Fresh Evo as well.

On the first one, I pulled the battery and restarted it, with no problems. On the second, well, it's sitting here right now still on the White screen after about 5 minutes....

***sorry just realized i posted this in the epic forum instead of evo. had both open as i have both phones and posted in wrong section.

Hi,

I had tried the 'new' market awhile ago, when I was running 3389, but there were UI problems, with the buttons and with the stars, so I went back to the old Vending.apk. But w the old apk, I had annoying FCs.

Anyway, I upgraded to 3452 about a week ago, and kept getting the FCs, si I installed the new apk again.

Well, I just noticed that with the new market/Vending.apk, the buttons are now OK/no longer 'squished'. The stars are still truncated, but the buttons are good. Also the FCs seem to be mostly gone.

Just an FYI...

Jim
[G Tablet General] TeamSpeed:
Strange? I am running 3389 along with the gapps enhancement update.zip, and I have zero issues at this point. Market works, etc and I might get a forced closed every few days or so with the browser (xscope), but that is it. This is one of the reasons I have not run the loopback and lag fixes, since I am a bit afraid to get my tablet into one of these states. :) I guess if it ain't broke, I am not going to break it. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueLghtning:
I have a stock Tmobile G2 that I have not rooted or done a thing too. I've been enjoying it just like it is.

Last night, I plugged it in at night and went to bed. This morning, the green LED was on saying it was fully charged, but it wouldn't power on? I finally pulled the battery and it powered on to the standard white HTC screen, but hung there for 5+ mins. I pulled the battery and again and I think the HTC screen came up again and hung again. After that battery pull, I could no longer get it to even power on. :confused:

Here's what I've noticed.

-After a battery pull and then plugging it in, I get an "orange" LED, but nothing happens. Can't power on, and it doesn't ever seem to turn green even after hours on the charger. When I remove the plug, the orange LED stays on and nothing happens.

- If I pull the battery and try to turn it on before plugging it , nothing happens, but in the same token, it won't show the orange LED if I plug it in.

The only thing different I did last night was that I used a Mini to Micro converter plug for the first time. I have a ton of Mini-USB plugs, so just ordered 2 of these. Could have been coincidence, but thought I would mention it.

My battery has been fine and has shown no issues of being bad, but wondering if they just crap out or something? The no charging LED after trying to turn it on is strange?

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
Return it and call shenanigans?

That's really quite strange. Have you modded anything on the system that would affect it at all?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenlow:
yeah, the hardware in your phone is simply broken. to make sure this is true, try doing a recovery. pull the battery, put it back in, hold the volume DOWN key, while hitting the power on button, use the volume rocker to go down to recovery, and then follow the instructions to recover the phone. but it sounds to me like water damage of some sort around the plug, or you pulled out the charger wrong and broke it. **this will remove all apps you have installed, but its better than having to wait for t-mo to send you a new one**
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueLghtning:
Haven't touched a thing on this phone. I have an older G1 I've played with ROM's on and stuff, but I've left the G2 alone.
