Just received my grandson's Elocity A7 and updated it to the 2.0124, but have a few questions (as always)...

#1- He doesn't use Facebook, Amazon, etc.. and I wanted to delete them from the desktop. However, when I hold my finger on one of them and move to trashcan, and go back to desktop, the icon is still there. Why? How do I delete and icon/program from the desktop?

#2- It has Gejar Apps. Is that where we would download addtl apps? Is that the same as Google Market Place?

#3- What is Fring: Aldiko; Appoke; Dev Tools; Documents to go; FBReader; IMDb; Kindle; OI File Manger; Spare Parts and Twidroud Pro?

Are they all required? If we delete the desktop icons, do the programs (actual program taking up space) still remain? And if so, should/could we delete those also to free-up space?

Thanks very much for your help.

Alice

P.S. The power button is very, very small, isn't it? Does anyone else have a problem with it? It is hard to get my finger into the tiny opening.

Thanks.

Alice

Deleting Icons

The system apps must be deleted using a special application written to work with the root directory of the device. I found Titanium Backup to work very well. It is a application back up program but it also gives you an uninstall option. I was able to delete Amazon Shopping and Amazon MP3 very easily. Google Titanium Backup.

Get Jar and other ?'s

#2- It has Gejar Apps. Is that where we would download addtl apps? Is that the same as Google Market Place?

GetJar is an app store much like Market Place. The difference being a lot of the apps on GetJar have been resized to work with tablets. A lot of Market Place apps are sized for phones only. this is changing on a daily basis as more tablets are sold.

#3- What is Fring: Aldiko; Appoke; Dev Tools; Documents to go; FBReader; IMDb; Kindle; OI File Manger; Spare Parts and Twidroud Pro?

Are they all required? If we delete the desktop icons, do the programs (actual program taking up space) still remain? And if so, should/could we delete those also to free-up space?

these are all apps and app stores. You can delete them if you like. If you want more storage you can use a micro SD card up to 32GB.
[A7 General] alicez:
I tried 'everything' to delete Aldiko and Appoke, but cannot seem to get them off the Elocity. Are they 'permanent' and cannot be deleted? That would not be nice that we could not remove them if we would never use them. They are just taking up space!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Udonitron:
Hey guys

So I have had my Z for 2 weeks and love it for the most part…faster and a crap load more enjoyable than the X10 it replaced. I am having some hardware issues however and was curious if I am alone on this one or others have had the same issue.

The hinge has become pretty loose now and the phone flops open regardless of what side I hold it from but in reality that is somewhat moot as who holds their phone from just one side lol?

The real issue I am having recently is the 6 little rubber stop pads on the underside of the screen’s left side/edge. Now there are 2 thicker rectangular stop pads on the right side’s corners adhered to the phones main body and the 6 little rubber pads on the left are attached to the screen and are there to compensate for the opposite rectangular pads so that the phone has both a buffer and a balance between sides so it sits flush, quiet, and secure.

Well somehow or for some reason those little 6 in a row rectangular pads have either pushed in too far to their respective channel or they have flattened via not regained their density/thickness as now they are flush with the screen’s underside and as a result leave a gap. So when I push, even lightly, on the center to left of the screen is makes a physical and audible click as it teeters down to touch the keyboard underneath and the right side compensates by lifting up and off the 2 corner rubber pads. Essentially the phones center area has become a fulcrum and I am sure that is not healthy on the hinge.

Has anyone else had this odd but irritating issue with theirs or am I alone here?

Perhaps I can try to find a thicker pad I can cut up to replace the strip of 6 :confused:

I am alone in this one hey?

Lame...technology and I just don't mix!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
No sir I'm on with you on this one. I started a thread about the annoying teeter or the screen a few weeks ago, and alot of people have it. I dont think its due to the pads, but more on the face of how the hinge is designed. It makes it so the screen doesn't sit flat enough. I know that they wanted to make the htc vision slim, but it caused some problems.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Udonitron:
Interesting!

Thicker pads would remedy it while closed but once opened the thicker pads would not allow the screen to sit flush at the top of the keyboard
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
yeah, and honestly it hinders the device greatly because its so annoying. Oh well. Its okay! Still a great Phoenix.

[Nook Color General] DroidHam:
Ok,

So I was trying to restore my Nook to 1.0.1 so I could re nooter it. I went into CWM, flashed the restore zip and THEN i whiped the /system and /data partitions. I know I got these steps mixed up.

now when I fail to boot 8x I get a ERROR, and i have no more clockwork.

Is there anything I can put on a SD card to fix this?!?

Please im freaking out

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

Nevermind, did the N/Pwr power on, reset then did fail 8x and its reinstalling..

PHEW, these really are idiot proof
[Nook Color General] Disgustoid:
Glad to see you got the reinstall working. I found out just how idiot proof these things are myself in a very similar way. In a moment of pure stupidity on my part, I wiped /data instead of the cache and promptly found myself with a dead NC.

I've now backed up everything on my NC multiple ways (using My Backup Pro which I initially started using on my phone as well as a full nandroid backup). Hopefully those are easy to restore and work properly should I ever need them.
[Nook Color General] nootered:

[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
Its REALLY nice that B&N was smart enough to understand that we will be hacking these things and experts and n00bs alike will be potentially returning them just due to rooting/hacking error.

They saved themselves a buttload of issues and refurb stock by putting these preventative measures in place.

Now to get the rest of the Android manufacturing companies to follow suit.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earendil1979:
I have flashed a few times before trying Andromeda 2.0. I was really impressed with the reviews I've seen for Andromeda so I wanted to try it out.

I flashed back to stock using ODIN. I then backed up my apps and user data via Titanium. I flashed to Andromeda and had no problems at all initially. I went to restore all my apps and user data and then rebooted the phone. Immediately I started having a flood of Force Closes. I reflashed the ROM and tried restoring only my apps... seemed to work fine, Then I restored my user data one at a time and everything was OK till I got to my contacts, then rebooted and started getting Force Closes. It seemed to me that it was Swype that was Force Closing constantly.

I reflashed the ROM again and haven't restored anything and I'm fine now. I had Phoenix Rising 3.5 on the phone before I went to Andromeda, is there anything known that Andromeda might not like as a setting or user data coming from Phoenix Rising and if so is there a way around this whilst keeping my user data and settings?

I really am impressed with this ROM and would choose it as a day to day ROM if I was able to get all my settings back. For now I'm going back to Phoenix Rising but if anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate it. Also, if the Andromeda devs see this I'd be happy to help with any experimenting or debugging to try and help them improve the ROM further.

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
your problem is that you restored ALL APPS AND USER DATA

go into Tibu, menu, batch, and RESTORE MISSING APPS AND DATA
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earendil1979:
Thanks, I'm trying that now...

Edit: So I did that and I've got my apps back but none of my user data (contacts, call history etc) came back...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earendil1979:
Ok. I've been plugging away at this all day... I'm not sure what's going wrong. If I do "Restore Missing" I get all my apps for sure, but I get none of my settings such as contacts, wireless access points etc. If I restore contacts I start to get force closes and yet I am unable to open my contacts... Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
is there some reason you dont use google to sync your contacts so you dont have to worry about stuff like that?

i have an exchange account and a gmail, i never lose my contacts, and i dont have to restore them, just log in.

as far as using TiBu to restore those items, if they are green in the backup/restore section, they should be ok to restore data only...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earendil1979:
Yeah google syncs my contacts but not all my phone contacts for some reason... It's odd that I couldn't get that to work. Andromeda is such am impressive ROM, but I had to switch back to Phoenix if I wanted to see my contacts... I'll give it a shot with another revision perhaps... Thanks for trying to help out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
did you by chance find any fix for this? i am having the same issue.. did the restore missing apps + data and then went in and loaded my backup of contacts and sms and the other ones that were in green and after reboot, constantly getting the swype fc.. and i cant go into my contacts.. did you just have to re do the flash and reload the backup again? and just sync with google and not have your contacts?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earendil1979:
Ultimately that's what I would have had to do but since I'm on call this weekend and need my work contacts that didn't sync through google I had to revert to Phoenix 4.0 for the time being. I read over on android central's forum there might be a solution but I haven't had a chance to get clarification and try it yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
thats kewl Earendil.. i would love to hear if you end up finding a fix for this.. ill keep searching as well just in case. .but synced mine for now.. think its just missing a few. .but wife has the ones i am missing in her phone (least hope she didnt delete ;P ) will continue to test and worste case, i like cog more and go back to it and i have it saved for that :)

[G Tablet General] ajcagle:
On January 23rd I executed a Viewsonic OS update on my wife's new G Tablet (she secretly wants an iPad but is not willing to admit it.) The update wiped out all the calendar entries we had made into the basic calendar on the device. The data was not backed up as I have not figured out how to do this yet. Does anyone know how to retrieve or restore this data? Viewsonic support suggested I return the device to factory default settings but did state (only after I inquired) that this will most likely erase the data in the process. They aslo stated this is a new problem that has not happened before with previous OS updates. They were of no help and only offered a supportive "sorry about that." Mildly frustrated but not giving up on the device yet.

January - 30

No replies at this point. Is it possible to search the device root with the software provided with android 2.2. The calendar name chaged with the update and may be why the device isn't seeing the calendar data labeled with the old name. Help?

Ok, here's how this works. YOU stack things(expensive and/or impressive things), take a picture of them stacked up, and submit them to this thread. Friday Feb 4th 2/11/2011 will be the final day of submission. On Friday, I will take all the pictures submitted to this thread, and create a poll. Why should I do this you ask? Because, there is no better feeling than winning the hearts of people via an unbiased poll based on the pointless, time consuming, yet gratifying practice of stacking expensive and impressive things on top of each other. If this "trial run of stacking things then voting for the best stacked things" get alot of attention, there could possibly be a future contest(meaning prize(s) involved for the winner(all prizes as well as s&h(only to people in the united states(if u want it shipped further you pay for it)) will be funded by me and provided for my own personal satisfaction in seeing other people stack things)). There are only a few rules that i propose.

1. The items stacked must be:

Expensive

Impressive

Priceless(*OPTIONAL* but adds to the impressive part)

Small enough that the stack created is impressive.

2. The items stacked must be stacked:

So that they could potentially fall and break.

So that they could potentially fall and cause damage to their surroundings.

So that they could potentially fall and cause damage to you.

So that they can stand up on their own (not leaning on anything or being held up by anything. Also, there mist be no photoshop or photo trickery involved)

3. The stacker must be able to:

Stack the items by his/her self without any assistance from someone else.

Provide verification that he/she in face DID stack what is being submitted.

Submit pictures of said items to this thread before 2/4/2011 2/11/2011.

*Any further rules can and possibly will be added in the future as i think of them.

Have you tried Cyanogen's method ?

how do you know you are not getting SU access.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Okay so you are trying to S=off i take it. If you have Androids SDK on your computer with ADB up and running i highly suggest Cyanogen's method if nothing else is working.

Personally i have tried The Unlockr's, the Ultimate Guide and Cyanogen's and they have all worked perfectly. Yes i unrooted and rerooted my phone 3 times.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
I had to go hunting through your post history, since you started this new thread. Looking through that history, it appears that you

might

have been able to obtain obtain Temp root with VISIONary. If you got that far, you would be able to confirm it by running a shell and issuing the "su" command. It is not clear to me that you confirmed this.

The VISIONary method requires temp root as the first step, but to get S-Off with VISIONARY typically requires one to download and install a shell script into the proper directory structure while in temp root mode, and executing that script, and noting the scripts success.

I can't tell how far you've gotten, but many newbies have had trouble putting this root.sh script in the right place, executing it, and interpreting the results.

VISIONary worked for me, but I was careful to ensure I had the 2.2.1 update from T-Mobile first, and I studied all the guides and howto documents carefully before starting.

There are other methods. If VISIONary has caused you grief, try another. You will find any number of videos on Youtube that show step by step instructions, as well. Just be sure you're looking at MT4G documentation, and not the steps for some other phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trofeo.08:
Ok i see if it works
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trofeo.08:
Thanks I have tried to do it through visionary. Now I do the command script method as well. The sh root.sh . And once I reboot I to hboot still shows s on. Now. I have v 2.2.1. Sine I just recently got this phone seems they come with the update alreAdynow. The thing I prob get lost is when I enter sync. Then nothing happens. I tKe out my battery Nd then power on and still hboot shows s on. Now I was T home all day yesterday trying to figure it out. Yesterday I downloaded the development kit but I didn't quite understand how to work it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
to the OP if you are having problems getting the Root.sh file in the right place.

What you have to do is download the root.sh files. Which can be found Here (link to megaupload via the unlockr)

Unzip that folder. Then enter that folder you will see a second folder (first one is the folder you get from the extraction, the second one is in that folder) The attachment should help you out.

View attachment 502591

once you store the root folder on the SDcard the phone will see it like this.

on the left side you will see what the phone see in the SD card. Notice the Root folder... once you open that you will three files, (on the right side).... that is what you need to have on your phone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Something tells me you are not following directions properly. And here is why i say that. Before you can use the Android SDK you also need Eclipse Plug In and JavaJDK. If you just downloaded the SDK it will not work properly.

There are thousands of people of have stated and claim that the methods posted work perfectly for them to root, turn s=off, Flash Engineering screens and flash custom ROMS, and there a few who do have problems.

the sides look a little unfair that the methods of rooting are flawed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
It's not "as well" -- it's a required step. To repeat those here for you, from The Unlockr:

Temporary Root via VISIONary

Download root.sh toolkit

Install root.sh kit (kernel module, script, etc.) on SD card

Execute root.sh

Permanent root via VISIONary

Based on your comments, it appears you are only now going to Step 2. But you have not yet confirmed you have accomplished Step 1.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trofeo.08:
Well I just got out im gonna try doing the sdk . I have tried step 2
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
the method that jggimi posted are not options.

That is one of the ways to Root your phone.

you HAVE to download and install VISIONary.apk.

you HAVE to download extract and move the root folder to the SDcard

you HAVE run VISIONary.apk with the proper boxes checked

you HAVE to open the term emulator and execute the script

.

It's not multiple choice, those are steps on what to do

edit :

I'm not trying to sound like Capitan Douchebag here but if you are having this much trouble with such an easy method you need to rethink rooting your phone. Or allowing someone that knows what they are doing do it for you.

you are giving yourself access to the very kernel of the OS, and you can screw something up to the point that you own a 500 dollar paper weight.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trofeo.08:
I've done all steps properly. I've downloaded v11 and I have 14 on my SD card . Wich version works better. And should I at any point remove the battery
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
should should never remove the battery. until s=off. Once you remove the battery [or turn the phone off] you will lose temproot. and most people on here use r14 of VISIONary.apk.

before you attempt to execute the root.sh file you need to make sure the "run VISIONary.sh" and set system to r/w are checked so the files can do what they need to do.
