CWM recovery not installed in my custom ROM

How to install a ZIP archive file on my SD card without CWM recovery ?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharam_Maniar:
you need to root it using SuperOneClick...

adb root gives you root access for adb commands via PC or Terminal Emulator...

SuperOneClick will give you SuperUser for apps like Root Explorer, SetCPU :)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharam_Maniar:
You Cant Directly,

All you can do is extract files from the zip and copy it manually to the respective folders using Root Explorer or via adb :)

Haha! I'm not that noob(I think:D)!

So SOC doesn't intrude into kernel.

It's just that I don't know how the rooting process is. I mean, I know how to use superoneclick, but don't know what exactly change. We will try with driver un/install.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durps:
Thinking about upgrading to a 16gb sd card. I noticed that a class 2 goes for like 19 bucks while anything with a higher class is 30 bucks or more. Will I really see a perfromance boost if I get a class 4 or 10? If so, what will increase? Will photos load faster? Will the videos I record in 720p have a faster playback? Etc. What takes advantage of the class speeds?

Thanks for any input guys!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
If anything, for video playback the faster class sd's will/should eliminate stuttering issues etc.

Here's a good breakdown of the diffs: http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
I would say given the lack of a2ext on this phone there really isn't a need for anything higher than a class 2 on this phone. The only things it would help with are:

1. If you use linux swap (stores the cache on the sdcard)

2. If you've moved your dalvik to the sdcard

3. If you use enomthers rom which has a2ext/linux swap

4. Video playback/recording (maybe)

5. File transfers. Large files and sdcard backups will be quicker

That's really all and if you don't use most of that stuff then I'd just stick with a class 2 and suffer the slower transfer rates. You should be fine with video, I've used a class 2 and 6 - video was the same as far as I could tell but certain videos (movies) might shutter a bit with the class 2, I never tested that aspect.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Also note, the class is simply indicative of the minimum write speed, not read speed. Things like playback and load times are not affected that much (though things like 720p video recording could theoretically perform better).

Also, because the class is the minimum speed, a lot of the time the higher quality class 2 cards may still achieve class 4 of class 6 write speeds.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durps:
Ahh, I see. Thanks for the info guys!

Does anyone know the common write speed of the stock 8gb card?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
I believe the stock card is class 4 so the minimum it should be able to write is 4 mb/s. Not every card is created equal. If you search on google you can find apps that help you test the read/write speed of the card.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucas155:
I'm pretty sure my stock card was a class 2. I now have a 16gb class 2 card, and it seems to do everything fine... including video recording.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
The stock card in my G2 was a Class 2, though for my wife's MyTouch 4G (bought on the same day) she got a Class 4.

When I had my G1 I switched from a Class 2 to a Class 6, my picture taking got noticeably faster, I used that same Class 6 in my G2 so I can't really compare it to anything there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
My stock card was a SanDisk, and they only make Class 2 cards. I use my Class 6 card in the hopes that more the Android modders sees the sense in having a /system/sd folder leading to an ext partition.

Not sure if you've been keeping up with this thread or not, but it should make you really happy then: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925996.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewebster87:
Hi MT4G owners, greetings from the Vibrant forums!

I got my Vibrant back in October and have been fairly happy with it, minus the GPS performance. It impacts more than you might think, and it's pretty embarassing when your gf's 4 year old Blackberry can get a lock and my brand new smart phone can't.....

So, I was in T-Mobile yesterday and got a great offer to straight trade my phone for another top-tier phone. She advised I go with the MT4G because it's really the only comparable phone to the SGS.

So here I am reaching out to you guys for opinions of the phone. My biggest gripe of the mytouch is the screen. I've grown used to the samoled on the Vibrant and I really enjoy how bright it gets in direct sunlight.

I love that the mytouch actually has a flash on the camera, FFC, and HSPA+. What are some of the other subtleties that I am missing that makes it a great phone?

Oh, and lastly - i've greatly enjoyed the community support that the sgs line enjoys, the Vibrant in particular. We get ROM after ROM of great products, and 2.2 was finally just released so its going to get better.

Has anybody else made the switch, or go in reverse from mytouch to Vibrant? I am just looking for opinions, so nobody is wrong, just help me make a decision! She also offered a big discount on the Vibrant 4G when it comes out.....but it would require signing a contract which makes my monthly bill go up for the same exact plan...

tl;dr: I have an offer from TMobile to switch to a MyTouch from my Vibrant due to GPS performance, need your opinions on your MyTouch and what makes it great, and what you don't like. Thanks!

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
All personal choice, I've gone from the iphone 3gs to the nexus one (kept for about a year) to an iphone 4, to the vibrant and finally the mytouch 4g.

Vibrant: SCREEN is very nice! no doubt about that, solid community support and overall a good phone. Cons yes the gps sucks! I ended up doing the hardware fix where you bend the metal to get better contact. Yes that did help but anytime I wanted to use the gps it still wouldnt lock, and had to to the tools test. Overall was happy with the vibrant but just wanted a new toy...

Mytouch 4g.....had to unlocked it for local carrier, rooted/unlocked within the first 20 minutes of having it. Played with the stock rom for awhile, pretty solid! It'll take awhile for the mytouch 4g to grow on you, make sure you check your screen for the good one. Trackpad is nice, screen is nice, very very nice feel to the phone, solid build. Roms are pretty good my main three are cm7, ice glacier and stock. Deleted the bloat ware since I can't use tmobile stuff.

Overall I like the mytouch 4g, can get 4g speeds with tmobile, but doesn't apply to me. Trackpad very nice, easy to work in clockwork recovery, NO VOODOO!!! easy to jump from rom to rom. You will miss the vibrant, but allow the mytouch 4g to grow on you. If its a free upgrade go for it! Community support is pretty good, few of us in here answering questions to help others out
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
mytouch4g is a good phone in my opinion. i mean the vibrant has had some pretty bad problems and i'm amazed at the forum support for the phone which is great. and i think its the same with the mytouch4g which also has great forum support. i know on the SGS 2.2 is in alpha for CM6, while the MT4G is already on 2.3 alpha /w 2.2 in RC(super stable) so it really just depends. though i can say that you wont be disappointed moving to the MT4G
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00nshake:
I sold my Vibrant a couple of weeks ago and got a MT4G with good screen and I'm much happier. I've only tried the Gorillasens final so far with roms and it's really nice. Welcome to the club and a phone that works the way it's supposed to.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinsane:
I had the vibrant also....put team whiskey froyo on it...over clocked..lag fixed...the works. GPS never worked ...even after hardware fix...did ffc mod too and the phone kept crashing...i had to get rid of it.

Got my MT4G and very very happy with it. Its a keeper for a while for sure.

Smoother..faster..everything works like it should. I've had great experience with HTC phones and its my preferred brand.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweak89:
This is a common question, not surprisingly. Do a search and you will see the consensus from former Vibrant owners is in favor of the MT4G.

Ditched my FIFTH Vibrant for a MT4G (T-Mo made me the same offer)and have been as happy as can be with the change.

Vibrant w/o custom ROM=very flawed phone. MT4g=just works.

Vibrant fanatics will tell you that "if you flash xxx rom it fixes most of the problems, then it's a great phone". Well, you shouldn't have to fix what shouldn't be broken, and you certainly shouldn't have to take it apart to fix (GPS) or add (FFC) things.

The poster above did all those things and the phone was still broken. But, like myself and many other Vibrant exes, you can only take so much.

So, go for it. You won't regret it. :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
Yeah bro, Just getting 2.2. We gingerbreading around here. Lol. Serious though, if u look around in this section, you'll see many happy ex vibrant users. This phone will not disappoint.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
Couldn't say it better! Played with the vibrant for about a month or two and it was flawed, the hardware with gps sucked, and 2.1 BLAH! Custom rom & voodoo plus the hardware gps fix (temporary fix) made it a solid phone. Oh and the screen, thats about it

Tanks so much!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] owunstorf:
Hey, thanks a million!

Now I've almost gathered enough courage to start messing with the original ROM! ;)

Just one more question:

When I've flashed a new ROM I imagine I'm left with a blank OS, so I'd have to reinstall all my apps and redo all the necessary settings.

I've read about backing up apps using Titanium Backup, but I still don't quite get it. (Yep, I'm a total noob)

Can I back up my apps on the original ROM, flash a new one and restore them all? Just like that? And will it also back up settings (Email account info etc.)?

Thanks for all your efforts!

P.S.

I hope your girlfriend is OK - sounded like she wrecked your bathroom...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
Ya the way you would use titanium backup would be to install it on your current installation, run it and back everything up (you can run a 'batch' operation where you backup all programs, userfiles, settings, etc...). Once that is done, you can install the rom, install titanium backup again, and then go into the program and restore your previous backup. It will save everything to your SD card, so as long as your SD card is still in the phone, the fresh install of titanium backup will read the files on the SD card and let you restore them. I think it restores most settings, but i'm not 100% sure.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mdkathon:
thesmoth -

Thanks man. It's always a challenge finding the "right" places to go. This is my second root/recovery and am very pleased with the upgrade from MT3G to the Optimus T. Since you're a "local" you should check out seattle.craigslist.org ... I picked up mine NIB for $130 US.

In case you want another to play with.

HELP fastboot error

Hai, I would like to say that i'm a total noob with this whole rec/fastboot thingie, and that's why I think I missed up BIG TIME.so here's my prob, I've recently tried to install custom roms, and I installed a custom recovery before that, and I typed the cmds with terminal emulator, but I just gave up and then I felt like reseting my cell, so I did, but then when it goes on reset mod, i'm stuck with a black screen and it says.

"fastboot mode started"

udc_start()

-- suspend --

-- reset --

-- portchange --

-- reset --

-- portchange --

fastboot: processing commands

EDIT: forgot to say that I can't even boot, it just goes to Fastboot mode,

then I tried to plug in my usb and it says

EP1/out FAIL nfo=40 pg0=74000

-- portchange --

usb_read() transaction failed

-- reset --

-- portchange --

fastboot: oops!

then when I try to force reset it (power+home+volume up), it just goes to the same screen, it wont let me do anything, im literally stuck there's pretty much nothing I can do, so thats why I asking for your help.I also tried to take out the battery putting it back in, same goes for the sd card, nothing seems to work.so please if there's a way to fix this, let me know, abd if there is, I would like someone to tell me how ot fix it step-by-step, cuz like I said im a totale noob @ this.

Thanks :)

[Desire HD Android Development] mattiadj:
Just yesterday i have flashed beta 02 and all is ok but how can i upgrade to beta 03?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] tkirton:
Simply download it and install it like you did with Beta 02. It should retain all your settings, so you won't have to type any additional commands.
[Desire HD Android Development] tkirton:
I personally recommend Class 6 or better, although I've seen people use lower classes before.
[Desire HD Android Development] mattiadj:
Thanks!

So I have not to remake DC?

Sent from future
[Desire HD Android Development] tkirton:
No...if your Dalvik-Cache settings are already set, then it will keep dalvik-cache where it is. If it's installed on the SD card, it will still be on the SD card when you upgrade.

That Dalvik-Cache reset was a result of an earlier version (before 2.7.5.2, I believe) installer program resetting it back to internal storage. That didn't work out so well and the code was removed from the installer.
[Desire HD Android Development] mattiadj:
Ok so what are real benefits of upgrade?can I wait for 04?

Sent from future
[Desire HD Android Development] tkirton:
Sure, you can always wait for Beta 04 if you feel it would be better to wait. Some people like release versions and others will wait until later in the beta process (version 2.7 went through 10 beta phases before it was released).
[Desire HD Android Development] tkirton:
Bump...new version 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 released.
[Desire HD Android Development] kamranh3:
How can I check if I have a partition on my SD card?
[Desire HD Android Development] tkirton:
Assuming that your SD card is on device block mmcblk0, you do the following:

Busybox fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

(that's a lower-case L, not an upper-case I or a number 1).

You're looking for something labeled Linux native. Probably associated with device mmcblk0p2.

Hi,

Tried it with no success on MIUI 1.1.28 with custome kernel 2.6.32.28

I followed the instructions to flash but when rebooted I checked the A2SD and it was not active or installed.

I used adb shell and looked under /system/bin for a2sd, which was missing.

Checked under MIUI settings for System/SDCard/A2SD+ and it reports no A2SD: is supported

Any ideas on how I'll make it work on Desire HD MIUI 1.1.28 ?
[Desire HD Android Development] tkirton:
Try reflashing again...if you don't see /system/bin/a2sd, then your flash didn't take.
[Desire HD Android Development] gvelim:
I use 2.5.3 CWRecovery to flash from SDCard. I have tried at least 3 times and always see on the flash screen a number of lines with tick boxes but only the last one ticketed.

Do I need to do mount System first while in recovery ?

What else should I check ?
[Desire HD Android Development] gvelim:
Ok... I mamaged to make it work

I had to manually mount the System & Data partitions and then flash the zip file

Then on first reboot and after the Bootanimation screen I got a 2nd rebooted again. After the second time all worked as expected.

so now MIUI 1.1.28 can recognise A2SD+ menory of 480MB

The problem I have is that uninstall is disabled for most applications.

How do I fix this ?
[Desire HD Android Development] gvelim:
Wiped all, re-flashed the Rom followed by the a2sd zip before first reboot.. then rebooted :-)

The handset rebooted 3 times on its own before I saw the lock screen. Then restored apps from titanium backup.

All super now.
[Desire HD Android Development] xpurtwitness:
I still can't get a2sd working on my Inspire 4G. I realize this is the Desire HD forum, but there is no love in Inspire forums, and they are sooooo similar, that you might have some ideas to try.

Here's what I've tried this round:

1. Flash rom (MIUI 2.3.30 GB)

2. Flash kernel (Tiamat 1.1.5)

3. Flash a2sd (2.7.5.1) "Installation successful"

4. Flash Inspiremod 0.5

5. Flash Extended Settings (v1 signed no overscroll)

= bootloop

1. Flash rom

2. Mount data

3. Mount system

4. Flash a2sd "Installation successful"

5. Flash kernel

6. Flash Inspiremod

7. Flash Extended Settings

= bootloop

same process without a2sd

= succesful boot

After successful boot, I've also rebooted into recovery, mounted data and system and just installed a2sd on its own. No change when the phone rebooted.

I had tried previously with earlier rom versions and no extended settings, etc. and it was like it had no effect.

Any ideas?

Hey guys

Okay straight to the weird problems I am experiencing

Running darkys 8.1

First is that when I plug my phone to the computer i only get access to my internal sd card while the external stays slightly transparent and can't open. Used to get both opening up but now only Internal sd card Happened a while ago but paid no heed to it and now i guess i am paying for it. have trying dual mounting and other things to try to get it to work but no luck.

Secondly I just recently got a 32gb the new sd card( promblem number 1 still persisting with the new sd card aswell) and it seems all the videos I put on it start to get corrupted one by one. I would watch the video and 10 mins later I get unsupported file type. Which is kind of weird as everything would be good and few seconds later half of my videos are useless.

Allready formated sd card several times ones through the computer and twice through phone.

Thanks for reading!

Does anyone still have instructions/required files for changing the notification bar on a 2.2 Droid X?

Before it is linked, I have already looked at teenfaces' thread; if you look, you'll notice that teenfaces has edited the initial post (presumably where the instructions were).

Just to cover all of my bases, I have tried the pre-2.2 post. (A boot loop says it doesn't work.)

Any suggestions?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] williams37:
If that is what you mean by notification bar, then changing that is pretty simple. I modify mine almost everyday. If you are rooted and have ninjamorph. The file is in System/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and is called status_bar_background.png. Simply modify that in photoshop, save as png and swap out with ninjamorph.

Alternatively I'm sure you could pull this out with adb. Commands would be

adb pull system/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png

then modify and save over that file

then adb push status_bar_background.png system/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png

then reboot.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] paramnesya:
That is what I mean.. However, in teenfaces' pre-2.2 post, it mentions changing the services.jar file.. Which is why I thought that simply changing the background image in the framework apk wouldn't work.

I have no experience with Ninjamorph. I'm not going to even try to play it off - I've only recently decided to take the plunge and root. (And I only decided to root because I wanted to change the font, phone-wide.) So, I'm pretty new to all of this.
