[Desire General] mamorka:
I'm very newbie in this.

Can I backup my desire with ubuntu 10.10, or is any way to do this?

If it's possible, how can I install custom rom (e.g. LeeDroid)?

(I don't want to install windows just because of this.)
[Desire General] Aldasa:
The Desire can be rooted by unrEVOked3 using linux.
[Desire General] Tiznom:
Backup info

Yes, it's easy. You can do backups to your SD card right on the phone, no computer needed. You will need to read the instructions on how to boot into recovery once you root your phone. The you will see your backup options. To manually backup to your computer, mount the SD card over a USB connection, then copy files over. Or, use DropBox and backup wirelessly.

Side note: since you are using Ubuntu, the official HTC backup app won't run, it's for Windows. That's okay because you can set the phone to automatically backup itself this way (HTC.com), and then copy the backup to your Ubuntu One account. That way, even if you lose your phone AND computer, you still have a backup.

Just start with the tutorials online for the ROMs and follow the steps. It's too complicated to post them in response each time.
[Desire General] lukyjay:
One thing you could do is sync your clockwork directory with ubuntu one :)
[Desire General] android.is.linux:
I've rooted my Desire using unrevoked3 on Ubuntu64.

Worked like a charm, and I didn't need to install no modded drivers, nothing!

Just connect the phone, run the app, and that's it!

(Don't forget usb-debug - on, and set the default connection as stated by unrevoked).

Don't worry - bsod won't occur.
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
I was under the impression that Linux was the best way to root your phone....I did mine in Fedora :)

Installing ROM is easy once you've rooted the phone. Download, copy to root folder of SD card and flash it from recovery (using either Clockworkmod or AmonRA)....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] i n f a m o u s:
Okay despite completely wiping my flash NAND with Task29 and installing different ROM's, my device disconnects me whenever I attempt to make an outgoing call when I'm downloading apps from the market. People are sent straight to voicemail when trying to download from the market also.

I thought this was just a problem with a ROM I was using but I was wrong and it happens under every ROM I've flashed.

Has anybody else experienced this issue?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LiFE1688:
Do you see "E" or "G" instead of "3G" or "H" on the top?

Only "3G" or "HSPA" supports calls and data at the same time.

"2G" or "EDGE" does not support it. So yes, when data usage is heavy, calls can't reach.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
2G indeed doesn't support calls and data at the same time, but calls always get priority, or at least they should. I don't even think your phone regulates this, I'd ring your provider and check if this is a known problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] i n f a m o u s:
I very rarely see 2G or even G when I'm tethered or downloading anything.

In the past I never had a problem receiving or making calls while tethered or downloading from my device. Today when I tried calling my HD2 (from someone else phone) while tethered, the call didn't go through and I got an error message tell me "We're sorry, all circuits are busy now. Please try your call again later."

I'm paying unlimited data every month but every once in a while I exceed the 5GB threshold and I do recall receiving a message from T-Mobile about going over my limit. Can that have anything to do with the issues are that occurring?

Does anyone anything else they'd like to add? I really appreciate everyones help by the way.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] JackOnan:
Is anyone working on a custom theme or have any info available? I think we desperately need one, to at least clear up the issue with white text on white background in some apps.

I don't know anything about theming, but I read in a post that there might be something in /system/framework/framework-res.apk. At least that is a starting point. Maybe someone can post more info to get us going.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] misfit343:
im running froyo on emmc all i did was pull framework change the icons to ones i like and push it back i can shoot you a copy and some directions if you would like?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] misfit343:
fyi if your still on the nook stock or just rooted framework these can not be changed in this manner.... i tryed
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] JackOnan:
Yeah, I'm on 2.1 with the 1.1.0 Pre-rootered ROM. I guess we'll need a custom ROM for themes?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] misfit343:
Not positive what it would take to theme the barns and noble ui.... tryed without any sucess. I think its just a little too much over my head. Thats why i jumped at having an internal 2.2 on here
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wretchedlocket:
I'm working on a Froyo theme right now. Not sure if there's a way to theme the B&N framework though. I have a really good link that explains how to theme and will post it in a bit.

I will say, it is definitely time consuming.

EDIT:

Here is the link. The How-To is a little vague, but the tools are what's most important.

My method of editing:

- is to pull the /system/framework/framework-res.apk using APK Manager

- extract the apk

- decompile the apk so you can edit it

- Use Photoshop or GIMP to edit the images you want to change

- Save (in PS, I use Save For Web), making sure you save without meta data

If the image is going to be a stretched image:

- Go to the Tools folder in the Android SDK folder and launch the draw9patch.bat script

- Drag your newly edited image into the draw9patch program. This will create a 1px border around your image

- Click the left mouse button and draw a black line along the portions of the image you want to be stretched. If you mess up, right click (Macs: ctrl+click) to erase if needed

- Save the image

- The images are located under the res/drawable-mdpi folder so save back to that folder and overwrite the old files (make back-ups of course)

- Going back to the APK Manager program, select option 11 to compile the apk. Select Y and then Y again.

- The script will stop mid-way and tell you what to do. Follow those directions

- Using ADB, mount the Nook's /system ('adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system')

- Back to APK Manager, select option 8 to push the package to the Nook

- Using ADB, type 'adb reboot'

With any luck, the Nook will reboot without problems.

An additional tip:

When you compile the apk, you have to delete the files you edited. If you go through and edit files and then compile the apk, instead of having to go back through and delete all those you've already deleted before, pull a fresh, new copy of the framework-res.apk before continuing on to your next edits. It will keep your list of files to delete from growing out of control.

Problem with speaker volume

If I get call any people, the speaker volume normal. The switch in position 50/50 (half)

But if I call (exemple i call my girlfriend or any people), volume is at maximum, but switch remains in position 50/50 (half).

It's very bad and really infuriates :(

Help please...

for Rus:

(проблема в том, что если мне позвонят, и я выставлю громкость разговорного динамика так, как мне будет лучше, то при последующих ВХОДЯЩИХ звонка это положение сохраняется. Но если я кому-нибудь буду звонить, т.е. буду делать исходящий звонок, громкость разговорного динамика подскакивает на максимум, но положение ползунка (переключателя) остается тем, что выставлял ранее)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] crow6:
Same as mine: volume position _always_ 50% but real volume is something about maximum. I found some "workaround": in call press volume up/down button to set volume properly (i.e. if U push volume up then volume will be really 50% + one level up). But after call disconnect volume returns to 50% and in next call U will have again maximum :/

It happends both in SD and NAND roms.

Can some dev fix it?

Hi

I recently install wp7 inside my HD2

I'd love to install some apps inside hd2/wp7 but i suppose is really impossible :(

I install twice ChevronWP7, but after some days had problems with run ChevronWP7, probably MS or zune block it.

If i went Marketplace with WP7 after i clicK Install, receive this message:

Can't get info right now. Check back in a little while :(

I'm from Portugal, i creaet a US account with Zune, make some changes inside google chrome languages, to have access to Zune Marketplace.

Everything works fine, but after i get some download i can´t receive it inside applications. :(

I'm so really confused, i have my hd2 activated with microsoft activation key, but i'd love to have, some apps like, shazan, pdf reader, facebook, and some other apps, but it's impossible.

What's my best opption?

Buy a HTC HD7 when Microsoft Portugal have a Marketplace?

Wait for new and stable WP7/HD2 jailbreak?

Forget WP7 inside HD2 and install windows mobile 6.5?

If anyone live in Portugal i would pay to install me "forever" my favorite apps inside HD2/WP7

Waiting for some help, Many Thanks

Than i decide to run one more time ChevronWP7 to unlock HD2, but "someone" block forever ChevronWP7 :(

At this moment it is impossible to have, facebook, shazan, ip camara, twitter, Fim and Weather more than 2 DAYS.

Okay, so I messed up my boss's phone today. I tried to do the flash player mod to watch Hulu found here: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/219288-modified-flash-hulu-droid-x.html (which I did SUCCESSFULLY on my phone). Anyway, I didn't realize that he had NOT made a backup of his Stock ROM (he just rooted his phone 2 days ago). When I did the Flashplayer mod not only did Hulu not work, but any time he opened his browser to the google hompepage it would kick him out of the browser. We tried pulling the battery, clearing cache (on the browser), force stop (on the browser), and nothing worked. I swear I did EXACTLY the same method that I did with my own and mine works fine. It's odd bc the google homepage shouldn't have anything to do with flashplayer. Btw, every other page I've seen seems to work okay with his browser. Anyway, do you guys know what might have happened?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Never really messed with the hulu hack myself... worst case scenario he will need to backup his apparently and data using titanium backup. Then I would make a nandroid backup of the current state as a place to get back to as a worst case scenario. Then sbf the phone and create a clean nandroid right away... then mess with the hulu hack in the event that it doesnt work again.
[Droid X General] Theowb4:

Try installing Dolphin Browser HD off of the market, and choose "on Demand" when starting the first time for flash plugin. See if it works then

[Droid X General] hullie10:
There are instructions online.. i think everyone needs to know how to sbf if they flash new roms, etc
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Can you provide me with a direct link? And wouldn't a simple factory data reset work instead?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
No, a factory reset only affects /data and /cache portion of the phone OS I believe. An sbf can be found here:

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/5633-droid-x-2-3-32-full-sbf.html

This is the 2.3.32 full sbf that you will need to flash first. Next you will need the 2.3.34 system only sbf:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OXK9Q1ZG

Make sure after you do each sbf to do a battery pull, then boot into Moto recovery (hold down home button while pressing power, then when the droid comes up, press search button), then do a factory reset. This will help to ensure a clean sbf process without issues.

Good luck, and post back if you have questions.

PS make sure to use at least RSDlite 4.8 for flashing these files.
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Thank you for the links. However, I'm not familiar with RSD Lite, so I don't know how to use it or how to flash these sbf files. I clicked on the first link and the instructions seemed vague and geared more towards people who already know what they are doing. I've only tried flashing 1 custom ROM (Fission) and I've flashed various states of the stock ROM several times. So, when it comes to this sbf stuff I'm very much a noob. I'm scared to death of bricking my phone or my boss's phone for that matter, so would you mind giving me step by step instructions on how to flash these two sbf's? Or at least send a link to a site with "noob" instructions? Thanks in advance. :-)
[Droid X General] Product F(RED):
RSD Lite was originally used for old Motorola dumbphones like the Razr and some early smartphones. I have an Evo now but I remember how to use it from back when I had a Razr. Just select the SBF file and after it sees the phone hit Flash. Make sure to get a second opinion from an actual Droid X user first since I'm not sure if there's anything extra that needs to be done.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Here is the link to download RSDlite 4.8.

http://www.multiupload.com/HL0ZAL9GK8

You will want to download this, and then install it on a windows machine. Then in order to use the SFB files (use 2.3.32 first, then 2.3.34), plug in your phone to your computer. I'm pretty sure you need the Android SDK installed, and the correct moto drivers installed as well (not sure.. i've had this set up on my computer forever...). Next, turn off your phone and press and hold "volume down + camera button + power button" and this will boot your phone into bootloader. It will say 30.03 (if you are on 2.3.15 OTA update) or 30.04 (if you are on 2.3.32 or 2.3.34 releases).

Then open up RSDlite on your computer which you installed it. With the phone plugged in, choose the "..." button in RSD lite and browse to the SBF file that you downloaded (remember 2.3.32 first) and then it should show your phone as a device listed below in RSDlite. If it recognizes your phone, you can click the start button in RSDlite. It will then start doing its thing.

My recommendation is to make a nandroid backup before doing this as a last resort if something goes wrong. The first time that you run the SBF file, it may get to like 98 or 99% and then say fail (something about passing BP baseband or something similar, and your phone will reboot). Don't worry, this has happened to me a couple times when I first started using the SBF files and scared me to death. After the phone reboots, pull out the battery and replace it back in. Then hold down the "home" button while pressing the power button. Then when the picture of the little green android dude shows up, press the search button (this is the motorola recovery screen). Then go to "factory reset/wipe data" (or something similarly titled). You can navigate the menus by using the volume up/down buttons. You will make your selections by pressing the camera button.

If you dont get the little android guy to show up, then turn the phone off and try again. After you have wiped data/factory reset, you may need to activate your phone. If it doesn't automatically prompt you to do this, from the dialer app, type *228 and then call. Then choose the option to program your phone, and you will be back in business.

After an SBF, your phone is completely wiped clean, so you will need to re-root, and install bootstrap/any other mods you need.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have more questions.

Its being worked on, but Samsung has not even released the 2.2 source yet. When that happens, maybe some doors will be opened in that direction.
