I'm having a constant sync symbol. My phone has sat for over 2 hours so its not just loading. How can I fix this?

Also is there a way to stop the auto restore of apps from google? It restores my apps without and data so I have to re setup everything. I would like to be able to just use titanium backup to restore my apps.

I also have a suggestion. Can you change the color of the % in the battery. The white is pretty hard to see maybe you could try black?

[Droid 2 Global General] imaudi5000:
ok so im new to android and still trying to quickly figure things out.

i have the droid2bootstrap.apk on my computer but am tryin to read all about it before i use it. this will work for the D2G right?

so what exactly does it do? what is "reboot recovery"? does it make backups of the stock rom and apps on the SD card? how would i go about using the backup if necessary? do i also need titanium backup to delete the bloatware?

please be detailed and gentle :)

thanks
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
It hijacks the booting process and if a flag is put up (by the system or by the bootstraps application) then the phone will boot into the Clockwork mod recovery so that one can flash ROM's or backup and restore the current ROM.

"reboot recovery" "reboot[s into] recovery" from the current ROM so that one can do the aforementioned tasks.

Backing up just involves getting into recovery via the bootstrap app then going into the "backup and restore" menu and choosing backup and then confirming and the current ROM is backed up to the sdcard.

If you want to after that backup has been made and you get back into the ROM you can place a copy on your computer just in case your sdcard becomes messed up you can still get your backup. If your phone becomes inoperable then you have to get that working first but you can restore your backup after the phone is in working software condition.

If you want to remove apps you only need root access and a root file manager or Terminal emulator (I prefer because it's free) Titanium is best if you only want to freeze apps which is the best case if the SBF isn't available and you want to be able to get updates in the future but it has other uses as well mostly to back up data and applications.

*These views are from a D2 owner not a D2 Global owner feel free to specify more specifically if there are parts of this that don't fit the D2 G (I assume they do but I have not tested otherwise) You are responsible for your phone and the things that you do (thank goodness for the recent release of the SBF for the D2 G!!)

Hi,

I know there's already a thread about Ubuntu, but I ran across this, and it looks a little different:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10306407#post10306407

It looks like, instead of replacing the Nook Color ROM, they're booting Ubuntu from the (external, I think) sdcard.

Would it be possible to do something like this with the Gtab? If it is, maybe we could have an Android/Ubuntu dual boot?

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/

The above is the based info on this. It looks like, basically, they run Ubuntu under chroot (in a jail).

This seems like it'd be cool, on a Gtab!

Jim
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Would it be fast like that? I used to run Android on an sd card on my old HTC Titan phone. It was slower than Molasses in winter.. Would be neat if it could be done, and was still fast.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I don't know the answer to your question, but we run stuff under chroot all the time (mainly things like Apache httpd) for security reasons, and running under chroot doesn't add overhead. It's not like it's running a VM/hypervisor. Rather, chroot just isolates the app (in this case, Ubuntu) from "seeing" the rest of the system, so I think that if it could be done, the Ubuntu "instance" would run at native speed. Again, this would be more like a dual-boot configuration, rather than a VM type situation.

If you read through the 2nd link, it's kind of neat the way they did this, i.e., they got just a command line Ubuntu going first, then they used apt-get to bring in the X stuff on top of that, kind of like bootstrapping, at a little higher level. Also, similar to how the earlier versions of Windows worked, i.e., basically you'd boot to DOS (yikes :)!) then start Windows from there.

[G Tablet General] thorpe24:
i want this soooooo bad.....
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
When I have some time, I wouldn't mind trying to get something like this working on Gtab, but at this point, I'd (we'd) need some guidance.

For example, would we need our own img file for the Gtab, or could we use the one that was linked on those sites? Those are, I guess, for Nexus One and for EVO, so the native code would be for Snapdragon. Would those work on the Gtab, which is Tegra 2?

I originally hesitated posting this in the Development forum, but maybe it should be. I don't know :(...

Jim
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
There is an ubuntu image that runs on the external micro-sd card. You have to change the boot loader to run it. Right now you have to have an external mouse and keyboard.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894960

It does not modify the internal storage so you can restore a boot image from Clockwork and boot back into android.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I read through some of that thread for awhile now (not too closely), but I had the impression that the Ubuntu in that thread replaced the normal Gtab ROM?

So, is the only thing that gets replaced on /sdcard the boot image? If that's the case, then it wouldn't allow a dual boot, without using CW and restoring the appropriate boot image?

Sorry, not arguing, but just trying to understand...

Jim
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
It uses a custom boot image to load ubuntu from the micro sd card. It will not boot android. You have to reflash the boot image to boot back into android. There is a post in that thread (#57) where a dual boot capable boot image is being asked for.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I think I remember that "request" in that thread :)...

I guess that the nice thing about the approach at the beginning of this thread, if it could be possible, would be both runnable "images" (the Gtab/Android and the Ubuntu) would exist (but not run) simultaneously, the former on the internal SDCARD, and the latter on the external microSD card...

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
ext2 support?

Hi,

I've been reviewing the shell scripts that are used for this (downloaded from the link from the original NC thread), and it looks like almost everything would be ok, except:

- It looks like the ubuntu.img file is an image with an ext2 fs on it (they do a loop mount on it). I tried "busybox modprobe ext2" on my Gtab (stock TNT 3452), and it looks like it doesn't have the .so or whatever to support ext2. Does anyone know if it's possible to get ext2 support on the Gtab?

- I was hoping to at least try the mount, to see what's there, but since I can't, I'm still assuming that the ubuntu.img was compiled for the NC, so I'm still wondering if I could get it mounted, if the code in there would work? According to:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/28/nook-color-processor-revealed-arm-cortex-a8-based-ti-omap3621/

it's an "ARM Cortex A8", whereas the Gtab uses a Tegra 2, which I guess is an ARMV7?

Thanks,

Jim

[Fascinate General] imnuts:
You can use setcpu or similar that can read kernel info to see who compiled the kernel and when it was compiled.
[Fascinate General] soba49:
If you can get a shell (adb shell or terminal emulator) you can just

cat /proc/version

and it will give you a name and a date of compilation, which is enough to figure it out. I'm back to jt's 11/29 kernel fort instance (the last dj05+ kernel that isn't undervolted afaik), and the time stamp is:

If you were running 12/30 it would say Sun Dec 30

SetCPU gives info too, but I wouldn't know.

Also, if you suspect voodoo, would it do any harm to disable_lagfix and reboot?

[General Questions and Answers] badkuk:
hope i'm posting this in the right forum...

Which should i get? Some thoughts:

HTC Desire HD

- i don't mind the extra size or heft compared to the SGS

- main concern was battery life, although it seems this is just a matter of removing some apps and/or calibrating the battery

- internal storage, while small compared to SGS, is not a big concern: 1.5Gb should be enough right?

Samsung Galaxy S

- main concern is the flimsy back cover...although the obvious workaround is to buy a hard case

- Gorilla Glass is a big plus for me

i really don't care much about the UI -- TouchWiz seems OK, Sense i hear is not too shabby either.

What do you guys think? tia
[General Questions and Answers] ErOR22:
Well, I just bought new phone and I when I was in the shop just having a browse, I had my eye on a HD2 for a while so was time to get one. Still interested in seeing what new device were like I tried out a Samsung Galaxy S first.

My initial thought was how light it was, I don't like light phones as I feel like I'll lose it easier lol. Also I was looking for 4.3" screen phone and SGS doesn't have one. Also touch input seemed weird, maybe it was how light it was and I wasn't used to it.

I put it down and turned on the Desire HD. Wow, felt right in my hand perfectly and I can feel the weight and coldness from its aluminum body. Touch input was awesome, those capacitive buttons felt great too, first time I've seen them. UI was really snappy and seemed awesome compared to SGS.

Anyway, a few weeks of researching after that day I found myself with a Desire HD and I must say I definitely picked the right one. Love the phone.

Battery life is good but it really depends on what your doing. If the screen is going to be on all the time you will get about 6-8 (roughly) hours of gameplay/internet/video etc. But if not used hard it will last 2 days easily, this has been my findings anyway.

Storage is ok but you will want to get a bigger SD card as the bundled 8GB SD card is hardly enough, but for apps 1.5GB internal is more then fine.

It comes down to what you really want/need out of the phone. The Desire HD is a great pick.

I'm an HTC fan so I will go for the Desire HD plus when I checked it out and compared with Samsung Galaxy S, I liked the Desire more.

[General Questions and Answers] badkuk:

[General Questions and Answers] ErOR22:
No, its perfectly fine. Before I bought it I saw heaps of people complaining how it doesn't go on properly but it must be their fault. I put it on properly and its sturdy and wont come off for sure.
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Neither. Touchwiz, Sense etc is bloatware.

Have you considered the Nexus S?
[General Questions and Answers] badkuk:
yah, thought about the nexus s since i was planning to figure out what all this Android development stuff...i eventually passed on it coz

-- no expansion slot; the SGS seems to have more value

-- i don't think it's available here(Philippines)

To be honest, i'm leaning more towards the SGS now; a hard case should deal with the flimsy back cover issue. Too bad, i wanted to go HTC since development is quite active; but with 10 million SGS units sold, i think there should be enough developers out there to pump out custom ROMs B)

Still, thanks to all that replied. Much appreciated B)

Galaxy s vs Htc Desire HD please help

I's my first post so Hello to everybody !

I'm just buying new phone - please advise me if is it worth to pay £240 more (£25/ month vs £35 over 24 months) for HTC Desire HD over Samsung Galaxy S???

Samsung S

-£240 cheaper over 2 years

-better screen

-8GB memory

HTC Desire HD

-better performance

-aluminium body

-I'm going to root the phone immediately after the buy,

-I'm not using phone for games but I'm expecting decent overall performance.

-At the moment I'm using rooted HTC HERO wit 2.3 android :)

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] msantosm:
Well I have bought a few months ago a samsung galaxy s, then I passed thru desire, nexus one and the next one will be desire HD. I'm going to compare the 3 I've had already.

Galaxy S:

-Great phone, super fast and a good performance, great screen also.

-I personally dislike the touch wiz. I like to use sms popup which the touchwiz blocked with the puzzle unlock.

-Disavantages: No photo flash and back cover.

Desire (normal AMOLED one):

-Good phone also, the sense it's pretty good. Screen it's not as good as the galaxy s one. Performance ok also. It recieves regular updates like the other.

-Main disavantage? Not many, but I didn't get used to the scroll, maybe because I used it less time than the others but it's something.

Nexus OnE:

Well, in this particular model, I have tto day I've had 3 pieces, all of them different.

The first was an american AMOLED unlocked nexus, good phone, always with the latest updates. Screen not as good as the SGS one.

The second and third are vodafone models. One with the AMOLED screen and the other with the SLCD. The first one has a little bit more contrast but I guess I like the SLCD colors. They are stronger and brighter.

When compared to the desire, the sense is missed over here but it's better that touchwiz. I personally like the scroll ball but this is owners choice.

Must say the SGS is the only that actually CONTROLS decently the contrast. When you get off your house he administrates it very well. The HTC's fail sometimes when it comes to this particular thing.

The american nexus broke up the power button and I have no warranty paper, let's hope the guys at HTC fix him. It's a well known problem. Don't know if desire has that problem has they are the same model but when you buy a nexus you have to get some program to change the unlock key.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crais:
I searched a little and didn't see anyone with a similar issue so I could be doing something wrong.

I used Odin to go back to stock JFD to prepare for another rom.

After Odin finished I booted into the stock recovery and deleted the cache and user data (in that order if it makes a difference).

Booted back up, plugged into my PC and mounted to copy files over and noticed that a lot of directories are still there (some live wallpaper apps, TitaniumBackup, ClockworkMod, as well as all media I copied).

I checked Re-Partition in Odin assuming that it would take care of that for me. I guess I was wrong.

Anyone shed any light on this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
Nahh your not the only one. It only clears out input data i.e passwords, email addys etc.. it doesn't get rid of the pics, files etc..

Come to think of it, I don't think factory reset does either.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crais:
I tried all of the reset options I could find in the stock android recovery (2e maybe, don't recall the letter) and all of them left directory structure (that was noticable) intact.

Maybe there's some other non-manual way to wipe this data that I can't find.

What if I simply deleted it all while the storage is mounted to my pc then put it in download mode and pushed a stock rom back to it? Seems sort of dangerous to me, though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
the only way to really wipe the internal sd, i.e. your files, is to format the sd, either from the phone, or from windows. as jmcghee1973 said, flashing only wipes the personal data from the rom, not the files on your sd.
