[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ray_jai:
Thanks

I'll try it out tonight been a bit busy this week.

does Flash sbf do anything to my system?

for example, will i need to reflash my current rom after doing Flash sbf?

I know for the x10 mini pro, after doing update.zip i will need to reflash the rom.

is it the same for milestone?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ray_jai:
I still can't get it to work.

here are my steps.

My phone is already rooted.

and I already flashed the Recovery-Only SBF when i installed the new rom. (do i need to redo this step? Maybe I'm using an outdated version?)

Can someone link me to the file if there is a better one, all the links are dead.

I am using this version: vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78

I downloaded this:

http://groupoften.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/new-g-o-t-openrecovery-v2-01-launched/

I put the files on the root of my SD:

OpenRecovery

OpenRecovery-CFG (do i need this?)

update.zip

I press the Up dpad and power, I get the triangle thing.

I press the install.zip and still cache error?

E:can't open /ache/recovery/command

I don't get what the readme in the GOT is telling me to do.

it says:

create a folder in /OpenRecovery/recoveries ( for example "My_OR_MOD" i don't use space in folder name, to avoid problems)

does that mean I make a copy of the "openrecovery" folder and put it back inside the "openrecovery" folder? that means every thing will be duplicated? is this correct?

thanks

I would try the androidiani, but i can not find the english guide.

Edit:

just tried androidiani, and I'm still getting E:can't open /ache/recovery/command

Hey I have a HTC Fuze on 6.1.. I'm trying to put 6.5 or something other than 6.1 but whenever I try to run it on my pc, its telling me that the application cant run.. how do I fix this because i'm dying to put on another ROM thnc=x
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigb0715:
I was wondering if someone could make a boot animation or a live wallpaper of the minions from despicable me not sure if this is right place or not if not sorry
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SouthernEvo:
That would be a perfect boot screen for Myns RLS5 LOL
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
if someone makes one add the droid and minions dancing together. disco like in the movie.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davidc23:
this would be so sick!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] punee:
Ive been searching for a Minion boot animation as well. I already have the minion laugh as my ringtone. it would be great to run the ringtone in combination w the animation tho.

wish i had the knowledge to just thro this all together quickly myself. unfortunately it would probably take me 2 wks at 6hrs/day to learn how to crop video, edit images and code this all together
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9628638/Minions_Bootanimation.zip try this i made and pseudoremora tweaked it up. you know the drill not my fault if you brick it.

put on sdcard,wipe cache and dalvik(i do 3x to make sure) flash zip and reboot and enjoy
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] disbeyad999989:
Can a bootanimation realy brick ur phone
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
Dont really know have not seen it myself but I and most people on here put that just incase something were to happen. Really means you take responsiblity for any mod,theme or rom that you choose to use. Cause a bad download even if the guy next to downloaded and installed the samething no problem may cause you problems that may take a lot of work to fix.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JSmurfy:
not brick butn can put you in a boot loop.. cause f non flashable.. thats all
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
With all the new phones being announced and those that should be announced soon, how long do you guys and gals plan on keeping your EVO in service?
[EVO 4G General] mikel719:
I think the evo is a great phone. I'm going to stick with it for a good while. It does everything I need it to.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I agree as well, but I could really use a better display. Love your avatar BTW. hahaha
[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
Till either i brick it, or when it's time to upgrade in a year and a half, lol.
[EVO 4G General] Buff McBigstuff:
Until june assuming that's when the evo 2 (or next top phone) is coming. I'm giving sprint until ctia (march 21-24) to announce it and it had better be dual core. If not announced by then I'm buying out my contract and getting a vzw lte dual core. I'm tired of not getting 4g here in detroit while vzw lte and tmo hspa+ is active right here right now.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Till June. That's when my upgrade is, no way am I sticking with this beyond that. I really hope Sprint announces a BAD ASS successor, because if they don't then I'm jumping ship to VZW.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
when there is a newer sprint phone with 4.3"+ screen with a HTC logo on the front of it and massive dev support behind it
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
I'll hold out till a month after they release their new flagship phone, only to hopefully get a good price for it.

I remember paying 200 for my hero then a month later it was 100 so
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
+1000 I cannot fathom the idea of having a new phone and having to use it STOCK from day 1. lol
[EVO 4G General] mikel719:
I got one of luigi as well.

I'm waiting to see what they are going to announce. I still have no 4g where I'm at so my decision will be based on what they're announcing and how soon they are going to expand 4g service.
[EVO 4G General] DanWalker:
I hear ya on that. You would think this area would be prime for 4G but instead they give it Grand Rapid?!
[EVO 4G General] kf2m:
I usually drive my phone till it dies except in the case of that crappy Samsung Instinct(got it a week after launch, and ditched it on the Evo's launch day). Before that was the BB 6250, and before that a /\/\ i90, then before that a /\/\otorola brick I can't remember what. Long time Sprint PCS/Nextel customer.

The BB what the longest phone I owned (almost 5 years), and it showed its scar's. Replaced the case like 3 times, display once, and keyboard twice. So I'll be using the Evo for quite sometime provided it doesn't fall apart in the mean time.
[EVO 4G General] cheekymonkee20:
100% in agreement.
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
in another 1 1/2 years for me, by then LTE should be deployed hopefully or atleast a better solution for voice & data.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Until something better comes out.

I'm on SERO premium, which means I don't get the annual upgrades (but only pay $50/month). I'm prepared to pay full price (or turn to ebay) every other year if needed. I'd say that as soon as something notably better than the Evo (better processor and GPU, better battery life ideally) is out, I'll plop down the $450 or whatever it costs and do it.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I love my rooted EVO with custom rom, but come this Summer, an EVO 2 will be hard to resist not to upgrade too. Dual cores, better screen tech, newest Android OS, better battery life...yeah EVO 2 will be a first day purchase for me.
[EVO 4G General] Artanis:
I absolutely love this phone. I will Upgrade to the next generation EVO how ever long it takes for it to come. But i will never get rid of my EVO. I had a TouchPro and an old 6700 for nostalgia. But i sold them after rooting my EVO. This phone will be my new BACKUP if anything ever comes along to take its place.
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
Until T-Mobile gets a HSPA+ dual core phone. I love my EVO but the Sprint service in my area is absolutely horrible. :mad:
[EVO 4G General] mekeke:
Probably until July 1st. That is when I have a chance to upgrade. Hopefully Sprint will have some good phones to upgrade too. (T7P or 2nd Gen Evo)
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
Imma wait till the upgrade from evo->? Is as big as from hero->evo. Or Christmas, which ever comes first. The plus side to upgrading at Christmas is: sprint's summer release schedule. By the time I upgrade, the Dev community is up and running. I'm hoping Google releases a dev phone on sprint soon...that would be my dream come true.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldbeverage:
Is there somewhere with a Captivate ROM comparison? I've been away for a month and a half, and holy crap have things changed! I am soooo confused. Running Cog right now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8Danes:
Que the flaming. ;) (should be in the Q&A section)

They change so often, that I think it would be hard for someone to maintain the tread on it. You pretty much need to do the research yourself on each ROM and decide which is best for you in performance, look, and battery life. (Thats what I do anyways) I like to try them all in order to get a feeling for them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiuk:
It has indeed been a busy month. Not sure where to direct you for an across the board comparison, but as for myself i've read a lot of threads and am presently completely content running perception 10.1 with dg's firebird 2 kernel and jk4 modem on my i896. Everything works, including hspa in both directions, gps gets a fast reliable lock, and battery is great. Planning to stick with this til there's a good stable gingerbread rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldbeverage:
Thanks gents. I knew I was going to get roasted for this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8Danes:
Once in a while, it's worth the roasting in order to get something like this going. In an ideal world, it is a great idea. Would be a nice place to do "One stop shopping". Maybe some ambitious individual will take it on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
It all depends on what you want

I just started flashing, so I didn't know a lot about the roms either, the advice they give to just jump in an start flashing is the best, it's scary at first but I started thursday and I'm already on my third flash :) Just read the documentation and watch install videos, follow all the steps, don't be lazy and you'll be fine.

I really like the new roms based on the rogers firmware just coming out, everything seems to work perfectly, I picked a great time to start flashing

Cognition 3.01 is really good and a clean android experience, but no HSUPA or firebird kernel

I just flash firefly 1.0 and this rom is sweet, HSUPA, great gps so far, though it does have some themed aspects I don't like, but I'm more concerned about functionality than themes.

Good luck finding what works for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisz5z:
i was where u are at not too long ago, and i did tons of reading

This guy might help you a little tho, he just started a youtube channel comparing Captivate roms ---> http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/ROM_s_in_a_FLASH_REVIEWS.html

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drew489:
I asked this a month ago and got flamed then my post got deleted. It was ridiculous.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
How is this development? Thread moved.

Also, threads about "which ROM is best" and "ROM features" tend to cause more trouble than they're worth, as we get the fanboi effect, and it turns into a flamewar. As such, they get closed to prevent trouble.

Look at the wiki, as that would be a good place to make a feature comparison. But remember that everyone's experience with a ROM is different. That's why you need to try it for yourself, and not just go by what someone else says :)

Oh, and remember to post in the right section next time, please.

Am I doing something wrong or is NTFS not supported on Vegan 5.1?

I have tried sdcard2, a USB Thumb Drive, and USB HD all with NTFS, Vegan 5.1 does not see them says it is empty or invalid disk. As soon as I go to FAT32, works like a champ. My computer sees all 3 when formated with NTFS and I can write and read from them.

I would like NTFS so I can store large movie files for when I travel.

Thank you

I am on Vegan 5.1 with clempatchvegan10.9.8IPv6PPOEProxy and the WIFIFIXproxy kernal updates (post 239 of Clemsyn's KERNAL corner post) and use Mount Manager from the Market to mount the files systems. I am able to mount and access my SMB networked NAS or the C drive (Vista NTFS) on my laptop without any issues. I suggest you try Mount Manager to see if it helps with your situation.

[Android Apps and Games] evolucja:
Hello ; )

Which thieft and lost protection application is currently the best? I'd like to buy soon a license and i'm wondering which one choose...

I know:

1. WaveSecure

2. Track&Protect

3. Lookout

4. MobileDefense

In my opinion the best is Track&Protect - it has almost all WaveSecure options + photo making and secret callback. But it's also more expensive if i'm going to use it(send a command) to phone more than one a month.

I'm waiting for your opinions and proposals..
[Android Apps and Games] dreamsforgotten:
Lookout is good and free. My personal favorite is GPS TRACKER and is free too
[Android Apps and Games] thedesolatesoul:
I would use tasker to automate tracking. It can do almost everything but you just need to spend some time with it.
[Android Apps and Games] timfresh:
THEFT AWARE hands down, no ?'s is the best app. dam program is unbeleivable.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I use mobile defense and its awesome for keeping tabs on your phone. You can even tell if someone tries to swap the sim card if your phone has one. Of course my Hero doesnt. I know 2 people that have had there phone stolen and using MD we have tracked it down in a few hours.
[Android Apps and Games] Coedy:
I use prey, its fantastic and saved my arse once already once..
[Android Apps and Games] Orwell83:
If your phone is rooted Theft Aware creates an update zip that reinstalls itself if someone factory resets your phone. In my oppinion this is a must because otherwise any 14 year old can google how to wipe your phone, and then your precious GPS location software is rendered useless.
[Android Apps and Games] efpob:
another vote for prey
[Android Apps and Games] djmickyg:
i would vote prey but it only has sms activate and no activation from the web site.. not a big issue, I just would prefer to do it from the website also.. but it's free so who am i to complain?

I use lookout, I haven't had to use it yet but I have tested it and it seems to work fine.

this theft aware looks pretty good, will give it a go

[Focus General] patrickk:
I just switched to the Focus from the Dell Venue Pro and with all the bugs the DVP had, this is quite a nice breath of fresh air. When I was using the DVP, I noticed that the alarms would always go off at max volume, regardless of what the phone volume was set to. I liked to keep the phone on vibrate at night so emails that come in don't wake me.

I figured that was a feature of WP7 and not the DVP - it seems that the alarm on the Focus is only going to play at whatever volume the phone is set to, including vibrate.

Is there any way to get the Focus to always play a loud alarm? Or (more WP7 specifc question) is there a way to only accept push notifications before 11pm and after 6am?
[Focus General] bennyj71:
The alarm on my Focus has an increasing volume. It starts of low and slowly increases the volum until you snooze or dismiss it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultimatepichu:
Hi people,

attached is the list of files in my sdcard of my DHD.

And since I'm new to Android, I don't want to mess things around. So my question is, which of the files can be deleted? And which of the files must present if I were to change to another bigger sdcard?

I'm sorry if this question is asked before, I searched briefly.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
You could actually delete all of them. The phone will just remake new ones and all should be fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultimatepichu:
anything about back up files or recovery images and similar stuffs?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadcookie:
you can backup your clockworkmod folder on your computer which means you don't even have to keep it on your sd card . just put your file you need for a restore on your sd card when you need it again :)

all other files (except photos/music/personal media) will be recreated by your phone by itself.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultimatepichu:
File for restore? meaning like those recovery images?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
I had the same question about files on my sd card. I actually deleted a few of them and thought i was screwed but this thread reassured me nothing to worry about that i can actually delete all files without a problem

Plz could you fix, thanx. Ive just started learning shell programming myself and am interested in learning more. Where did you first learn the basics?

so far I know little, I have got the hang of some like echo and clear and the normal bash commands, but I need to learn the choice stuff (option 1,2,3,4)

Edit--

found solution, you need to right click the zip, archive utility, the unarchiver app doesn't seem to like this zip for some reason.

Sorry for doubting you oh great one lol xD

Edit---

damn, still has error, but different. Now though data is full of exes so it must be nearly working. Will repost asap with a solution (if i can)
