Data works for a lot of people from what I got from the thread for the rom I'm using. Which is all the more maddening, not knowing if I did something wrong or what. Could it be possible that my data is not working because my flash memory is not partitioned? :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I'd expect the majority of people using the same ROM to have no problems with data, or the ROM simply wouldn't be available as it would be useless. I really don't think that partitioning would have anything to do with this problem.

What ROM is it? Could you post a link to the thread?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Okay, I can see quite a lot of people on there saying that they're having the exact same problem as you, but no-one can offer any help, so I can't see a solution.

The only thing I can suggest is that you use a different ROM. For some reason, that one just isn't going to work for you.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
When I put my tablet down on the table or laying on the bed flat, it seems like

the touch screen becomes less sensitive. Is this normal??? I have done the

touch screen fix, but this still happens..

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] MasterColdSoul:
This is normal with all touch screens in my experience. Try leaving it on the table and then come straight down about 1-2 feet above with your arm/hand and see how the responsiveness is now there.

This is due to the way we touch the screen and the way it looks for the touch. I'm not a programmer, but I asked about this with Cyanogenmod and this is what I was told.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Well that's weird. I wonder why it doesn't do that with my ipad or anyof my android phones
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Anyone else know about this.
[G Tablet General] Wyngnut:
Try turning the tab upside down (if u r using in landscape mode) . I have read (from very reliable sources here in this forum) that the screen on this tab was put in upside down. I always use it upside down unless not supported by current app in use.

[Captivate General] vaiol123:
Well, after owning my cappy for a month and a half, I'm still confused on whether or not I love it or hate it. I'm always mad that the GPS doesn't work and that the backlit buttons look terrible and the battery door creeks and it doesn't have an ffc, but then again, somehow it doesn't matter to me. Jeremy Clarkson was talking about a car one time and used this metaphor: "It's like an annoying toddler that drives you mad, but if someone tried to take it away you wouldn't let them." (It was something along those lines :P.) There's just some sort of connection between myself and the phone, which sounds odd, but I don't know how else to describe it. After putting hours of research and work to make the phone work properly, I've become a bit attached to the device. The sleek lines and beautiful Samoled screen just sort of feel right some how.

The other day, I saw an ad on Craigslist for someone who wanted to trade their iPhone 4 for a captivate and to be honest, I was just about to go through with it. At the same time, I couldn't get myself to do so. I knew it would be a better move, but I somehow can't let go of this phone.

I love the Captivate.

I installed phoenix 2.0 a couple of weeks ago.. Ever since my gps had been perfect! You might want to try it. It tracks really well and locks onto satellites really fast, usually under 10 sec.

[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
@OP, I share your feelings.

When my Captivate works, I love it. I can't put it down. I use it for everything. But when it doesn't work, or when I get a huge onslaught on random shutdowns, I hate it and go right back to my Samsung Impression. I use that until it bugs me (with it's slow input slideout keyboard and random texting bug that stops sending messages after you've sent about 500 texts). And then I switch right back to the Captivate. It seems to be a vicious cycle with me and I find myself carrying two phones at once now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoltz:
I know many different threads are already available on this topic, but I think mine is severe. Obviously my Vibrant is bricked, and yes, I have done many different things to attempt to fix it.

If I am missing anything, please let me know.

=====================================================

-The phone is not recognized whatsoever by USB on an apple computer or any variety of windows computers, rendering any advice using Odin and ADB useless.

-The phone will not go past the vibrant screen, but makes the sound like it is attempting to the Galaxy S animation. However, it never displays this animation.

-The phone can enter recovery mode, but not download mode.

-I have tried clearing all data and I have also tried "Reinstalling packages", but it does not do anything.

-The phone will not go into download mode by connecting it to the PC (XP 32 bit) while holding vol. up and down at the same time.

-When the phone is plugged into the wall, the battery charge image displays on the screen, but any combination of buttons do not work.

-I have all current Samsung drivers, as well as the Kies software on my computer.

=====================================================

I think I should make or purchase the "USB Dongle" which allows the phone to go into download mode via Hardware.

Is there anything else I can do?

Thank you for any and all help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
You are still ok

1) power phone down

2) pull battery out

3) hold volume up + down

4) while holding Volume up + down , put battery back in

5) still holding volume up + down plug usb cable into the phone

Option2:

Power off, hold vol+ and vol-, plug in USB.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I ported this over to my ROM (Magnolia). If I recall, there were only a couple of smali files changed in services.jar/com/android/status/widget/. I will try to take a look and remember. You can also feel free to take the services.jar from my ROM and diff it (especially /widget/folder) against Skyraider's and see what you find.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
Awesome, thanks alot man!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
OK. I just checked, and it looks like the main changes were in /android/server/status/statusbarservice.smali. Again, run a diff with mine, and I think you'll see what is what. Also, there were some changes I made to android/server/status/widget/powerbutton.smali to stay in sync with the other smali mod, but not sure it matters (seems to just add wimax button).

I don't recall xml changes, but I could have just forgotten...

Hope this helps.

it is in the statusbarservice.smali.... but he had to change a fair amount of values to get it to work.... the problem you are going to find with skyraider is ihtfp is a coding guru and he tends to redo alot of this files to accomidate various functions as well as add advanced functions such as recent apps in the notification menu.... if you want to try you can add everythign that references updatestatus2 or updatewidget2 i cant remember what exactly it is off the top of my head but i still think if you add all of that code its still not going to function without going thru the rest of the changes js made when he redone it.... its somewhere in the neighboorhood of 30+ lines to be edited and/or modded

it was easy to implement it into incrom but thats only because i've done it so many times that i have learned my services.jar very well

FYI...

"Important Notes

Because I know some of you young hipsters just want to get right to flashing and not read through all of the KNOWN BUGS (though you REALLY SHOULD), I've consolidated some important things to remember.

ON INSTALL YOU DO NOT NEED TO MOUNT SYSTEM MANUALLY - although it won't hurt, my install script automagickally does everything for you

FULL FACTORY RESET IS REQUIRED - blur-related data mixing with aosp is a no-no, so wipe data before you restart

THIS IS IN BETA - remember that. there WILL be bugs and i cannot guarantee that this will be ready for daily use yet. just keep your wits about you and enjoy.

USES KOUSH'S RECOVERY - this now uses koush's recovery, so bootstrapper and ROM Manager should work

DATA DOESN'T WORK - 3G/Data connections don't appear to be working yet, so you'll have to use Wifi if you use this. I will be releasing a partial update “fix” for this as soon as I can

I will keep this updated with any other questions people have.

Known Issues

Video doesn't work

Video “sorta” works, but only on low-res and youtube videos, and even then it's choppy. progress has been made but more work needs to be done.

Pin-point GPS doesn't work

Network-based GPS works (fuzzy-gps) and is accurate to approximately 20 meters. However, pin-point gps or true gps is not currently functioning. It is being looked into.

Camera/Camcorder do not work

The Camera freezes and ultimately crashes if you attempt to take a photo with it. The camcorder will crash as soon as you turn it on. These are being looked into as well.

3G/Data do not work

For whatever reason the phone refuses to connect to the 3G/Data network. Phone calls appear to work, but not data. I will be looking into this and releasing a partial update fix in the future."

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick92260:
This is for anyone who has a NAM Bell Desire Z and debranded it- I am currently using a Bell Desire Z in the US with ATT. I have read a few guides on here explaining how to debrand the phone to the OEM WWE ROM but I have also read in those forums that some people have had bad signal issues after doing it.

I am also nervous because the WWE ROM flashes a radio for the 900/2100 bands when this phone uses 850/1900. Back in the touch pro days this would brick the phone but I am reading on here that apparently it works with the Desire Z. I also read that there is currently no RUU for the current Bell ROM so I can't go back to stock if it messes up (I don't want to bother with rooting to do nandroid). I have made a Goldcard to get around having to root it.

If anyone who has debranded their Bell Desire Z can let me know if they have had any issues with signal, WiFi, ect, I'd appreciate it.

Here are the two threads I have seen where people have had issues after debranding-

I don't want to dual-boot, even, just have a nice "normal" Nookie Froyo install on eMMC. I've seen several allude to the fact that it worked for them but no reviews of how they did it. I've backed up my 2.1 install with Clockwork so I'm not really worried about that.

TIA.
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
It's quite simple actually. All you need is basic knowledge of adb.

All disclaimers apply, I'm not responsible for any damage. Just know that mine is running on internal partitions. And the SD does mount too!

Before doing anything, I would recommend applying a dd from your partitions to your pc.

With, for example on mmcblk0p1 (boot) adb: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=boot.img

You should do that for each partition to be safe (0p1 to 0p8).

All the following commands can be execute one after one, the separations are only there to makes things a bit more clear.

Then,

Boot to a working Nookie (NF) with your uSD fresh from burning, without any google apps, and without any uSD damaged errors.

Empty your internal system and copy uSD system over, by doing:

Then, you need to boot push the attached files (bottom of post) except for the 2 vold files to your boot partition: mmcblk0p1. Unzip, copy content, not zip.

You could very well replace uImage with the new Quickie overclocked uImage for froyo (see dev thread).

To push attached files to boot, do:

I would also recommend erasing all your data. But that's up to you, if you want to keep your data on it. In any case, you can revert back with the data.img you created above . So next part you could skip, haven't tried skipping personally:

Non mandatory, but you could do:

Then you need to push vold.fstab and vold.conf (unzip volds, copy content) to system/etc

Copy vold's to system/etc:

Then shut down, remove uSD, and boot.

Again, you can choose to push the Quickie uImage, I you prefer, but the accelerometer doesn't work with it at the moment. The 950 kernel does sometimes crash on boot, but once booted is quite stable.

I think that's all folks. I could have been a bit vague at some times, but this should work. And if you made your imgs as recommended, you're bullet proof.

To revert back to initial state with img files, you need to copy files to sdcard and then dd:

Do that for each partition.

For those who don't feel up to the task, I could make a CWR flashable zip file of all this. The only thing is, CWR dosen't boot on Nookie just yet. So you couldn't restore with a zip after the change.

to the op: I'm not knocking you here, but do you have a basic idea of generic linux file hierarchy or operations in general?
