what program do i use to do this and will a nand restore give me back my old boot screen the sprint stock one?

Have you done a search? there are many threads on how to do this.

I was using my phone on cyanogen 6.1 and the bottom dock has disappeared, it was replaced by a light black bar about 1/5" tall. How do i get the dock back?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SpiderVenom:
I haven't used ADW for a while but if I remember correctly you just press and hold your screen as you would to create a widget and select custom shortcut then open/close app drawer then just place it where it normally would be at
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] doenis:
That is the hidden dock. Per default, it is opened by swiping down on the screen. Swiping a second time should bring back the normal dock
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tridge:
Yes, as above poster stated.. swipe downwards to get it back.

If it does not come back (which I've had happen if my phone goes into landscape mode) I usually just restore my settings from the awd options.

Also, if you want to completely disable the extra dock as I have:

Settings > ADW Settings > UI Settings: Under the "Hidden Dock" section, disable the first checkmark.

Hi,

I've searched high and low for an app that would be able to scan cds, movies, books, etc to a file that can be exported to spreadsheet. Everything on the market fails in different ways. Some don't work at all.

Anyone want to code one or have a suggestion for one not on the market? I need to catalog my music collection for sale.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] arj154:
Hi I was just wondering if theres an app which enables you to adds a widget to the notification bar because I would love to control beyond pod and spotify from the notification bar
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] fz2006:
Power control plus :-)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] arj154:
ah that looks very close to what i want! The only thing is, i want it to control my media players like spotify and doubletwist, thanks for the suggestion anyway!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] arj154:
I think i found a good app for it! its called QuickDraw, it seems perfect for what i want!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] hipgnose:
Where did you find it?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] arj154:
i found it on app brain but ive found that it causes launcherpro to reload every time and it causes random crashes too so i uninstaled it.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] goothu99:
was wondering if you found a solution to control media player in the notification dock

i use quickdesk and include phantom music control widget
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] arj154:
i think i mispelled it, the software mightve been called quickdesk but i uninstalled it after a few days as i found it caused my phone to lag and reboot. I normally just use widget locker if i really need media controls and ive found it to be a semi usable solution.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tricurious:
Just flashed Darkys Rom V 9.0 Extreme Edition on V 8.0 , its stuck on the first boot (Darkys green 'Boot Animation' logo) for more than 40 minutes also constantly vibrating every few minutes

My question is what went wrong ?

How do I go back to v 8.0 ?

I've the Galaxy S GT-I9000

help please !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
pull the battery out, Can u get download mode or recovery mode working ?? lots of issues with this new ROM, i did it earlier everything was fine. the steps i did were:

1) Make Backup

2) Disable lagfix + any tweaks - Convert all data back to RFS

3) Installed Darkys 8.0

4) Flashed darkys 9.0.1 ( released just after 9.0 with a few fixes)

5) Waited for everything to boot back to normal

6) Re-Applied lagfix + Tweaks ect.

If you can get recovery working i suggest you wipe the phone / cache / dalvik cache

Try re flash of darkys 8.0 - then flash 9.0 - 9.0.1 and see how you get on with that.

Keeps us posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xivv1:
Download Darkys 9.0.1 , get into recovery mode and mount your sdcard , then connect the phone via usb and open a command line window from your adb directory and enter this command in the command line window: adb push Darkys_v9.0.1_Extreme_Edition.zip /sdcard

I did it like this and worked for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] J.Hendy:
Hello everyone

It's been a while since I've posted here so my apologies. I've been so excited with Android on my HD2 I haven't really gotten around to posting, Obsessive Flashing Disorder ;).

So I have numerous questions for y'all.

1) NAND is horrible for me. I flash MAGLDR, I've also used the Clockwork Mod, but whenever a build installs, it sticks on the white screen with the "htc" logo in green smack bang in the middle of the screen. Left it for over half an hour in school while in school, all that came up was the setup quiz, which btw was extremely unresponsive and as I pressed next it would go back to the white screen, then I'd wait 5 minutes, and I'd be presented with the next step. I've flashed a NAND ROM multiple times and tried a Clockwork Mod ROM and it's the same. However, on the Clockwork ROM I Managed to complete setup and could send a text, only because my girlfriend text me and I could pull down the "Notifications" tab. It stuck on the home screen saying "loading" constantly. SD Card was partitioned properly too...

2) Gave up with a NAND ROM and tried Windows Phone 7. Loved it! Just needed to activate it. Got skype, got the number, America and Canada only. No problems, the guy gave me the number for UK and I phoned it on my landline to be told to call between 8 and 6 Mon-To-Friday. Fine, I copy my old SD build of android to my SD Card and tell MAGLDR to boot from Android SD instead. It goes fine, loads up, then restarts and I'm told "cannot find zImage", this process just repeats and repeats. Did I do something idiotic or?

Note: The SD build is from the original way of booting WinMo then Android.

3) Wake up lag. Ugh, I get such bad wake up lag. Unfortunately it can take up to 2 minutes for my phone to unlock. Next time I'll try and grab a video camera and record it. Sometimes I also have to press the unlock key numerous times for it to actually even do anything. My phone, SD Card or? There was no lag on WP7, and my SD card is a 16Gb Class 4 card.

4) Colours on the display become inverted. Yeah, inverted, but more towards the whitish end. Again I'll try and get photo evidence next time, but I have to restart and then everything is fine. Kernel problems, or is my phone starting to give up the ghost?

Many thanks guys, I aim to start helping out a lot more!

Jake

An almost happy Android & XDA user.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Moon2:
1) & 2)Stick with WP7 :D

To boot from SD, make sure u set up magldr to boot from the correct directory by going into services, and choosing the folder. If it still doesn't work, then its likely you have to do the following mod:

This Thread

3) Got the same problem, 8GB Class 6

4) Got the same problem, happens randomly and so far only on sense builds for whatever reason.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] J.Hendy:
Haha I would, if there was Angry Birds and associated games ;)

3) Bizarre... I've read it's Kernel related so...

4) Yeah I only use Desire HD builds too. Looks like it is sense based.

Alright Moon2, thanks for your help!

[G Tablet General] GooseCopVid:
Preparing to install CWN and then VEGAn 5.1 Have done a lot of reading and video watching (everything is so helpfull - THANKS to all). Some instructions say to install Z4root first and some just say install CWM and then the ROM ect. Do I have to install Z4root or is beginning with CWM fine on my stock g tab?
[G Tablet General] dirt4618:
just follow the directions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

pretty well laid out in that post and kept up to date
[G Tablet General] GooseCopVid:
I don't see a root folder on my g tab when I connect it to my computer ? Do I have to create this folder ?
[G Tablet General] dirt4618:
the root folder it speaks of in the tutorial refers to the directory that opens when you first connect the g tab. It's been so long since mine was stock or close to it but I believe there is only a couple folders there to begin with. Android and android_secure if i remember right, but I'm probably way off lol.

Either way, just connect the g tab and go from there. "root" simply refers to the beginning folder. its different that when the term is used to root a device.

read thru the instructions thoroughly and you should have no problems. the info in the thread i linked is pretty complete and accurate
[G Tablet General] GooseCopVid:
CWM installed, VEGAn 5.1 running, Flash, Full Market, ect,,,. All of this has turned this G Tab into quite a nice gadget. The forum has made the entire experience easy for someone who has never custom modified anything before. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
What?! Thanks darktremor, used this with my slide, will be testing and update this post asap with feedback.

Just curious though, is this meant for froyo based roms or should it work with gingerbread also?... guess I could test and see. Also do we still need to used the 'a2sd reinstall' and 'a2sd cachesd' commands to install it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g1junky:
will this also work with sense roms?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
Not sure, that's why we are testing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
I can't get it to work on CM7 nightly 11 ( That I know of).

Used Clockworkmod to set up the ext partition (which doesn't specify which filesystem so i'm guessing either ext2 or ext3); set partition to 512mb and swap to 0mb.

Card partitioned successfully according to CWM; upon flashing the app2sd.zip the installation goes through all steps and posts that the install was successful even though the little check box by install successful is the only one that is starred. I noticed that during the install the script mounts /system and /data to write to them...not sure if that is affected by GB. I thought I read somewhere that this script was designed to check for ext4.

Hell, idk lol. I nandroided and went for it, these are my findings.

scratch that, there's a part two i missed that involves command line functions in the terminal emulator app. It looks like it's working to me.

Edit2: From what ive moved to /sd-ext so far everything seems to be working. Moved my apps, app data, dalvik cache and /data/data.

So far I havent experienced any data loss when moving /data/data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
There's no reason it shouldn't work with Gingerbread, other than the usual suspect of the rom doesn't launch scripts at boot or doesn't have EXT support.

As for the commands, you shouldn't have to rerun those commands if you are upgrading.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
Yes, it should. I'm running a Sense UI rom on my Evo and it has 2.7.5.3 Beta 02.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
I can honestly say that so far everything seems to be working well on my end. Dropped ~100megs of internal space usage and sent it to the sd.

The phone does seem a bit snappier, does this style of app2sd stress the card more than usual?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zarskee seven nine:
hmm.

I'm running cm 7 nightly 11, set 512mb, 0mb swap and I think I got everything right. Strangely enough, I keep getting reboots every time i run a command in terminal.

edit: a2sd command*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
SWEEET..........

I too can confirm that this works with CM7 Nightly "Gingerbread" sweet, installed the zip file from recovery, QUICK NOTE: Had to mount /system and mount /data in recovery before installing the zip file from sdcard. This is great apps2ext that works with any rom. Now in my titanium back ups it shows three seperate storge locations: internal, SD card and SDCard(a2sd) plus it restored apps I previously had on my ext.2 partition from when I was running Enoms Rom....sweeeeeet.

Also dont forget to run the command in adb shell:

/system/bin/a2sd cachesd

if you want to move dalvik cache to sd.:D

UPDATE: internal memory free reads out of 1.37GB Avail. there is 1.28GB FREE and Ive got 77 apps installed right now and about too install a lot more..........:D

FYI im runnning a 16gb class 10 sd card with a 1024mb ext.2 partition
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
Most of the code is similar to the previous version. I think the snappiness may be that your SD card is faster than internal storage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
Did you type su before you run an a2sd command?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
Just so everyone knows (may want to add this to the OP;) you know, so you don't get a million ?'s) these are the commands you HAVE to enter after flashing it in recovery.

su [ENTER]
cd /system/bin [ENTER]
sh a2sd cachesd [ENTER]

Your phone will reboot and will take a bit to complete - be patient because it's moving all your apps and the dalvik cache.

Notes: Your memory will still drop (not by much) over time because the apps will still store cached memory on the phone. To deal with this use the 'datasd' command to move that info to the sdcard also. Also, use the 'a2sd help' command to find all the functions you can perform with this. If you've used this before then all of this is irrelevant:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Was so excited about this , It worked perfectly on CM7 nightly builds but when I went to update the Nightly build from 11 to 12, problems, keep getting reboot, since all my apps including titanium were on EXT, I could not access them, so the modification didn't stick from build to build, had to full data wipe, so I guess I'll be coming back to this when CM7 stable is realeased.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zarskee seven nine:
Yah I did. It's a beta on a nightly rom...I'm not surprised that something would be weird. I know it worked sending my dalvik cache to sd for sure, but as far as my apps being reinstalled on sd..im not sure. I followed the directions to the t and i know i didnt skip steps cause i used to use this on my nexus one
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zarskee seven nine:
You may have to remove the script in terminal, reinstall the rom than rerun the zip script. I think that should work if you want to keep using this on nightlies
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
If you change roms (including moving between different nightly builds), you will need to reflash Darktremor.

The only time you don't have to do that is if Darktremor is already added on the rom you are loading. Since CM7 doesn't have Darktremor installed as part of its package, you'll have to reflash each time you change nightly builds.

If you still don't have access to your programs, type a2sd reinstall

My apologies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fajarep:
after several days nothing new in this android development section, today i saw something new here, keep your good work, gonna try it when i get home :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
This is about three months overdue. Unfortunately, job, family and the holiday season got the best of me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
For me it seems that it doesn't stick. I tried it with cm7, flashed it in recovery and when I booted up to run the commands in terminal they weren't there. No a2sd at all. Guess I could shove all in the ROM prior to flashing and see if that works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blu3angel:
Same for me.. I flashed it to my virtuous sense rom and did the terminal commands but it did not detect any a2sd? I do have an ext 3 partition of 1gb prior to that..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
has anyone triede the mounting data trick in recovery before flashing

mount system and data first then it should work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
Ok it's working now. There once was a time when we didn't need to run the 'a2sd reinstall' command but after thinking and being an idiot for a minute it hit me. Run that command with the same steps you use for the 'a2sd cachesd' command and it will install it, reboot and take a bit of time. Then follow up with the cachesd command and whatever else you desire.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
Was having a small issue that might explain some of the setcpu issues others were having. I moved my apps + /data/data to sd. Everything was nice until I started noticing a large battery drain and a toast popup every time I cut the screen on saying "cpu tuner has been granted su permissions". My first thought was that my screen off profile wasn't being referenced and the phone was still clocking to 1.2ghz. I manually moved it to /system/app and haven't had any issues since (for the past twenty minutes). Any relevance to the setcpu issues others were claiming?

Edit: hmm, ran a check and discovered there was an issue with moving dalvik-cache to sd. Fixed the issue and now that toast message pops up again every time I cut my screen on. Am I reading into this too far?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
If it didn't take initially, then the boot protection code would kick in, which prevents Apps2SD from moving data until you run "a2sd reinstall". It's there to keep a phone from boot looping due to the EXT partition not being there or not working correctly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
That popup that says a program has been granted permissions...that comes up a lot with my CacheMate. It just states that Superuser.apk has granted root rights to the program requesting it. I ignore mine.

As for the dalvik-cache issue, I found some issues on my end that I thought were fixed. I am testing a complete rebuild of the dalvik-cache section right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
Those dalvik-cache move commands were rebuilt in Beta 03...ran into problems of my own during testing. This shouldn't be a problem anymore (qualifier: "shouldn't")
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
Corrected version available.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
can we just flash over
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
Yes...yes you can.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
Bump...new version released 2.7.5.3 Beta 04
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
I tried setting up the new beta and for some reason dt can't convert my ext3 to an ext4 partition. I tried the diskspace command to check the status of my partition and it lists an error for not being able to mount it. I used rom manager to create the partition, I may be wrong but when dt gives the error its looking in a different mmcblock than where my sd-ext is located. Does that make any sense? (Tried explaining lol)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
di you mount system and data before flashing the update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
Yes, I did.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tkirton:
You sure your rom supports EXT4? A lot of roms (and custom kernels) don't.

It may have converted it, but your Rom doesn't support it. Easiest way to find out is type:

busybox fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

If your card is in a different mmc block (i.e. mmcblk1p2), then replace mmcblk0 with mmcblk1. This may only list it as a Linux native partition.

Next, type a2sd partlist and see if your rom supports EXT4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
Okay, I had to type mmcblk1 which listed my partition as native Linux.

I then typed the partlist command and it said my rom (Newest GB nightly) had support for 2,3, and 4 filesystems. I vaguely remember somewhere reading on your fb page that nightly's didnt support your a2sd or something like that. I figured that since GB was built off the ext4 file system that it should work. Thanks for the reply's sir.

Here's my setup.

1 gig sd-ext partition is located on mmcblk1p2

It is currently an ext3 file system partitioned via Rom manager with a 0 meg swap.

I execute the convert-ext4 command and after a series of text lines in the emulator the phone reboots with no change in partition filesystem.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong here lol, I would boot linux from my pc and do it but I cant find my SD card adapter :/

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Having a issue when I type the diskspace command in terminal, it returns df: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2: cant find mount point. It displays no info for the ext partition. Any ideas?

Also when you format the SD card in recovery, what type ext partition does it make? Reason I want to know, is I want to move to ext4.

Seems sd-card/ext is formated as ext3. Tried the command to convert to ext4 but from checking sysinfo it hasnt changed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
I don't see a difference in using ext4 over ext3, performance wise anyway. However I'm sure that fact that it uses a jfs helps to some degree. Maybe it helps prevent data corruption or loss during mount/remount cycles when using USB mass storage? Not that I've ever had (or heard of) it happen but I know it *can*. I just don't think on a file system this small a jfs has any effect.

Anyway, use Paragon (if you're on windows), I think you can get it as a trial or something - don't remember how I got it. It will create or convert the partition to ext4. I used it for my sdcard once and also to partition my HDD for Gentoo.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
I have the same problem (can't find mount point). Mounted /system and /data, flashed the a2sd, started it up from Terminal. Then I try to run a2sd reinstall and it just reboots...
