[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rrodxbox360repair:
I am having battery life problems on every rom I try, ever since leaving windows 6.5. I just read a thread saying updating radios helps just about any phone's battery last longer. I have a tmous 1024 hd2, that is currently on 2.08.50. And it already has magldr 1.3, clockwork recovery, and mdj's cm7. This is probably a noob question, but i would like to be 100% sure I dont mess my phone up for good while trying to switch radios. Can a new radio just get flashed over all of the things I have setup or do I need to revert to stock windows? Whats the most recent radio I should use? A link to where to download it would be great, Thanks!

I just downloaded this radio: 2.15.50.14, Now I am basically just stuck at if I can flash it over all my things installed, or if I need windows 6.5 so I can connect it to active sync
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Boot into the multi coloured bootloader and flash the new radio. It will not impact on magldr or the rom. Click on the link in my signature for my radio version and you will find download links there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rrodxbox360repair:
Thanks, so basically just put the .nhb radio file in the same folder I create for the custom ruu.exe, then boot phone into tri colored screen, then run the .exe program?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:

I am saving the less important user credentials as well as some other short stuff like registry keys and other short notes on the notes in Outlook/Exchange.

On my HD2 with WM 6.5, I used to sync these notes and and also automatically had them at home too when I synced the pda with my home outlook.

Now with Desire HD, it does not sync the outlook notes.

Is there a way to sync outlook notes under froyo?

Somebody knows of some other solution to achieve this? I usually work on the desktop and therefore also want to administer and use the notes-information there, but it should also be safed on the pda for use out of office.

Outlook notes where also handy, because they followed automatically the move to a new pc and I do not have to install some additional program.

I know of secure solutions like KeePassDroid, but it seems to be a bit too complicated to handle when used frequently.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi,

I am using Documents To Go to sync my exchange stuff, I can choose which folders are synced. Although I do not use the notes myself I am quite sure they can be synchronized as well.

Only hickup I see (do not like it myself) is that it does not sync with two PC's at a time. This means if You sync with two PC's there will be two folders on your SD card, not one.

Maybe this would be a solution. If You do not want to edit the files on your device, there is no need for the full version either,

regards,

Ruud

Hi All,

I've been looking for an answer and have not found one yet.

I have an existing NAND build (MDJ cyanogen 7) of android that I flashed via magldr 1.11. I know I can update magldr to 1.13 safely without messing deleting the the nand rom i have already. But if I want to install Clockworkmod 1.3 onto the nand will I lose my existing rom need to reflash my rom again or does magldr know to flash clockworkmod onto another area of nand that wont overwrite my existing rom?

also with clockworkmod it says:

Download recovery with partition size for the type of rom you plan on using, see guide below if unsure.

it says to use the 150MB partition just wanted to see if anyone else using mdj's cyanogen 7 is using the same thing?

Your help is greatly appreciated
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Yes you will lose your current rom, so do a cwm backup first. After flashing the partition for cwm, you will get a kernel error on first boot, so boot into AD Recovery and restore the boot, system and data backups and all is back to normal. As for the partition size, use the same size as you did for the sd version. The guide suggests a 400mb partition for an unsquashed desire hd build, but I used the 250mb partition on my current rom and all is perfect.

PS! Please don't post questions in the ROM Dev section, there's a reason why there is a Q&A section.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ascrackoo1:
Since the rom was originally flashed via DAF, will CWM still allow me to do a backup?

Was hoping for a guide, it's so confusing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
No, from what I understand you don't have CWM installed yet, so you can't use it now. Use titanium backup (market), and then flash cwm so you can use it in the future.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
It seems confusing at first but it is not really that difficult.

Correct, on first flash of cwm it will erase all data/roms etc on NAND. You will not be able to backup the rom if it was initially flashed via daf. As StephanV says, use Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root to back up your data/apps etc and you can restore them after.

Once you have cwm installed and have flashed a new rom and set it all up, then you can do a cwm backup.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ascrackoo1:
So if i use cwm then I can only flash zip based roms from that point on? I cant use the daf ones anymore then. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
You can still use daf, but each time you run a daf file it will remove the cwm recovery partition and you will need to reflash it to use cwm again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ascrackoo1:
I'm finding that if i flash cwm ontop of a daf rom the rom becomes unbootable. and the only way to get it to work again is use a cwm version of the rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wolfpack612:
i'm not sure about the rom you are using but i was able to back up a few different roms with cwm which i installed using daf. this is what i did:

1. create a folder on sdcard name "cwm" (you can name it whatever you want). i actually have a folder for each clockwork recovery version.

2. put the zImage and initrd.gz for cwm (version 1.0,1.1,or 1.2) in the folder you just created. (do not flash anything at this point)

3. boot into magldr and go to services, boot settings, ad sd dir and select the directory you just created

4. now in magldr menu boot ad sd, and you should hopefully boot into clockwork

5. go to backup and restore and backup your rom. if you try cwm 1.2 and it doesn't work try 1.0 to back it up, you can then update to 1.2 again and it will still restore just fine.

6. before restoring your rom, install cwm1.3 and choose a partition size bigger than the size of the system.img of the rom that you backed up. clockwork backs up your rom in your sdcard->clockworkmod->backup. it creates a folder with the timestamp.

7. now you can follow the steps from the clockworkmod thread to load cwm1.3 and restore from there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
dont bother 'installing' clockwork, just put the two files on your sd card, then go into your MDJcyanogen rom folder on the PC, open (in notepad) flash.cfg and it will look something like

boot ya|boot|ro filesize+1M boot.img

misc ya 1M

recovery ya|ro 3M

cache ya 3M

system ya filesize system.img

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

the partitions 'recovery' and 'misc' will allow cwm to work, they arent needed for this rom, they are only there for compatibility however if you plan on flashing to a different rom using sd card/cwm, (rather than simply using cwm to do backups of MDJcyanogen) you will want to edit the

system ya filesize system.img

and maybe set it to one of teh recommended cwm sizes, example

system ya 150M

this is because the original line

system ya filesize system.img

will set a system partition of the same size as the MDJcyanogen system.img, (about 130meg) but if your next rom has a bigger system.img, when you try load it from cwm it wont fit, so wont work. by setting it to 150 (or whatever you want) you are allowing for different size system.img in various roms.

Whenever you flash a nand rom, so long as you edit the flash.cfg and make sure those two partitions, misc and recovery (and maybe cache too, i do) are there, then cwm will work.

Few days ago I updated my Motorola Defy to Froyo.

After I updated I noticed the market had the old version, I found a zip file of the new version and flashed it, everything seemed to be fine, the market was working well, but then I tried to update an application and it suddenly gave me a FC...

I even tried reflashing a different zip but it still gave me the error.

Since then I can't access the market..

Anyone knows what's the problem/how can I fix it?

Thanks.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] silashack:
How come we have no mod/theme that does away with the clock top right?

Coming from a WM6.n platform, one of the mods was to remove the clock from the status bar, mainly because most ROMS had the time on the screen anyways, and most mods/themes I have seen on the DHD seem to be the same, great big clocks on the main screen, so no real reason to have it twice.

And removal could give more real estate for 'other' icons

Just a thought

Well I found the fix for it and now I am happy, no double up of clocks :)
[Defy General] Raccroc:
Recently moved to a T-Mobile dead zone forcing me to switch providers. As I would like to keep my Defy, I have decided to unlock it and move to AT&T.

Sometime today or tomorrow I will be making the transistion and would like to ask those who have gone before me for some advice...

Preferred ROM for making the switch? (For Example: I'm not sure I completely understand the Bands involved...for a UK ROM, I had to install a patch to get T-Mobile to work, but I don't know how/if it would affect AT&T)

AT&T Software? I can pretty much rip out T-Mobile the software, just not sure about how to get any AT&T specific software I might want/need.

De-branding? Retaining the T-Mobile branded market will just irritate me.

Anything else I should know or prepare for?

Thanks -
[Defy General] scrannel:
Presume you are in the US.

Where I live it's a dead zone as well (for both T-Mo & AT&T) but I use the wifi calling built into the Defy (my wife uses the similar UMA on her Blackberry). The calls are so perfect we could get rid of land lines. AT&T does NOT have wifi calling.

As far as I know there is no ROM that will allow you to run the Defy on AT&T 3G, but I could be wrong. T-Mo is 1700, AT&T 1900 -- both have 2100 for Europe etc. Again, if that's changed someone here will tell you.

I believe roaming -- including data roaming --

domestically

is free. That's what I was told by a T-Mo rep, and you may want to double check. But if it is, and you cannot get your phone to work on AT&T's 3G, you may want to stay with T-Mo. Or get a different phone and move to AT&T.
[Defy General] danbutter:
AT&T uses 850 and 1900 and are moving to only 850 which this (US) phone has so it should work in most areas, but I would consider the wifi calling first too as AT&T is much more expensive than Tmo, has data caps and overages unlike Tmo.

Do what you have to do, just be aware of the pitfalls of AT&T.
[Defy General] Raccroc:
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, Alltel was the major roaming provider in the area for T-Mobile, but since Alltel was bought out/merged with Verizon, there is really no roaming in this area any longer.

Wifi is what I am using now, but is extremely limiting, as I am restricted to about 15-20 yards of my living room. There is little to no public WIFI in the area (country living...) and no outside data access though pretty much defeats the purpose of having a smart phone (no Google Maps, remote email, local movie show times, business look-ups, comparison shopping, etc.).

While going with an AT&T phone is an option, I really like the water resistance of the Defy. Since I do a lot of outdoor activities (e.g. hiking) and drive a doorless/topless CJ7 most of year, water resistance is a godsend.

AT&T, while not ideal, is currently my best option.
[Defy General] scrannel:
Does anyone know for sure that an unlocked Defy will work on the 3G 850 freak for AT&T? I recall that some protocols also need to be on a phone for it to register on a specific network.

modified epst not accessable via ##775#

Because I havent posted much, call me shy lol, I cannot ask this in the area that would likely get feedback, but here goes:

I am running vaelpak 3.0 on evo and although i have replaced the epst.apk that is located in the system/app folder with the same modified one that i have used on other roms..most recently Sprint Lovers but am unable to access the change prl feature by using the ##775# command i normally use in the phone dialer... alogcat seems to call it a keyboard conflict but ive tried the stock keyboard and several others and this error does not change. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as i am a sprint subscriber and their coverage is junk so using my precious 49% of allowed verizon time is nice when it only requires a reboot. Roam control is outta the question as it simply tells the phone to roam to what sprint thinks are some verizon prl's however having the actual verizon prls is great..in fact if i just wanted to use a roam only option i think there's one cooked in the vaelpak 3.0 rom

I have made many NANDROID backups in the past and today when I went to make my monthly backup it will not complete. It hangs on the last step "Generating md5 sum". Any idea??????
[Droid Incredible General] wpbear:
More info:

I went ahead and did a restore using the stalled backup and it did restore and boots up like normal. Clockwork Recovery must be screwed up, but at least the backup works.
[Droid Incredible General] ptsmith24:
How long did it stay? Mine take 10 minutes or so.
[Droid Incredible General] wpbear:
I have never had it take 10 min in the past to make the md5 so after 4-5 min I am assuming it has hung. After battery pull there is a md5 file and I used that backup to do a restore to test it and it worked ok so I think clockwork is just not completing and showing done and/or rebooting when it is complete. It is not a huge problem I guess since I managed to get a backup that works.
[Droid Incredible General] 1967ls2:
I too have been having issues with making and reloading backups. Mine get hung up on generating MD5 sums and also Checking MD5 sums. I don't receive any errors at all, it just freezes when trying to create the back up and restore the backup. What gives?
[Droid Incredible General] wpbear:
I was using CWM 2.5.1.2 and downgrade to 2.5.1.1 and still same. I now downgrade to CWM 2.5.0.5 and it completed the md5 withint 90-120 sec. So I guess I am keeping the older version of CWM.
[Droid Incredible General] jpa77:
This is a known issue on newer builds of Clockwork. Mine generally takes 10 mins to generate MD5. Older versions of clockwork are still quick. Just give it time and it will finish.

Ok thanks. Is there any benefit of the newer builds that I will miss if I just keep using the older 2.5.0.5 instead of 2.5.1.2?

newer clockwork supports slcd... older clockwork only works on amoled and allows for 10pt multi-touch.. my backup only takes maybe 2-3 min tops but it is definitely longer than before

besides being able to actually backup and restore? lol no you can search for a topic called "clockwork mod...on crack" and it will give u the speed increase for scrolling with the trackball. im one of the 1st ppl here to post a problem with 2.5.1.1 so yea if u have an amoled don't use cwm higher than 2.5.0.5...it just messes **** up

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokartracer5:
First of all, nice work. Looking forward to 4.5. This was my first custom ROM install, so I have a few questions.

1. I didn't notice the auto-lagfix being applied when I installed. I am getting a quadrant score of about 1060 and it seems most people are getting much higher. Not that I am experiencing a lag, but just curious.

2. I am guessing I should start over when 4.5 comes out. I didn't try anything different than what came with it.

3. I love the orange theme, but would prefer the stock phone dialer buttons. How would I change that?

4. I did notice some issues with internet connectivity using the modem and not wifi. I shouldn't need to enable roaming, right? GSM only should work too? Why would WCDMA even be an option? Is GPRS an option or is it 3G only?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashyford:
I think Adam usually provides a statement whether or not you can flash 4.5 over 4.1 or whether one requires a wipe, flash to stock, and fresh install. I'm hoping 4.5 can be flashed over 4.1. Unfortunately, I don't have any answers for your other questions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
I was wondering about that myself. I couldn't find the voodoo folder that is supposed to exist to disable/enable lagfix. Any body have any ideas if the lag fix is actually installed with 4.1 or if there is other work required?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokartracer5:
It seems to be just fine without it. That makes upgrades alot easier.I hear the folks who have official 2.2.1 overseas don't use a lagfix anymore.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Phoenix is based on 2.2.1 jpy.

As for the lagfix questions, with the included kernel you need to boot into recovery and choose advanced ulk, then enable/disable there.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:

So flashing the browser fix just involves copying the zip to the sd, renaming it update.zip, and use recovery to apply the update?

You don't need to rename the browser fix zip, or any for that matter. Just reboot into recovery and flash the fix by selecting it just as you do for a rom.
