Hey everyone,

So i have read through many of the post about using cmw and making a nandroid backup then recovering it.

I followed the directions to put the green cwm on my phone after getting into the green cmw i made a backup and started playing around on my phone. I then went into ROM manager and wanted to get back into green cmw from there I then got a error message about my signature. So again I flashed cwm via odin and got back into it that way. I don't understand why i can't get into it through rom manager and have to flash it everytime.

My next problem is that i wiped the data on my phone and went to use my nandroid recovery that I made it got through most of it but then would freeze while revcovering the data and would sit on something like b5ece2. After waiting for 30min I just pulled the battery, but my phone is still back to stock.

This is not the end of the world for me as I have Titanium backup and got all my apps back, but for some reason can't get my contacts back using google.

Any help is very much appriciated and I am sorry about how long this question became this is my first droid and my first root.
[Fascinate General] soba49:
Looks to me like your lynchpin issue is you cannot get RM to launch ClockWork mod recovery.

Solving that is your best avenue for fixing other issues.

I couldn't help but notice that you never mentioned regular (blue) recovery. Did you somehow find a guide to put in the so-called permanent CWR? I would like to understand how you are getting into recovery, because doing it through Odin doesn't parse for me.

No promises, especially without fully understanding your situation, but here is what to do if I am assuming correctly.

Best guess solution:

1. Restore recovery in odin. Get the "Odin restore file for recovery" from this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-782204.html

(a full stock restore odin should do this too, but you would have to root etc.)

2. Download CWMrecovery.tar patch ( http://goo.gl/HELdr ) from fallingup's guide, which is step two of:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897889

3. Flash #1 then #2 as PDA in Odin. Boot. Open Rom Manager.

4. Click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Click "Reboot into Recovery"

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in

doubt, mumble.
[Fascinate General] armyranger172:
Thank you for getting back to me so quick. I will do that as soon as I get home from work and let you know if that fixes all the problems.

HI!

Im new here and I dont even know if im posting in the right spot :confused: please dont hurt me :D but I was wondering if I can theme the stock mytouch 4g rom.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyendqh:
There are some themes on the market for stock rom. Not sure if any of it is what you're looking for but just search Sense themes or themes in general and see which ones are for Sense UI.

Good luck.
[HD2 Accessories] jzack:
is this for real? here is the link :

http://www.lelong.com.my/htc-touch-...o-battery-3000mah-75157308-2010-12-Sale-P.htm

ive asked the selller too and they are confirmed that the extended battery is for htc hd2 t8585. So my questions are:

1. Is this a real product or just a scam? because when i googled, there is no such thing as 3000mah extended battery for htc hd2. i even searched the forum too.. no such topic found >.<

2. Since there is no type of brand mentioned, is it safe? i don't want a leaking battery or an explosive on my pocket. So is the battery safe? how do i check before i buy it? any method of checking it?

3. is there any effect on my os? like compatibility issue or anything? eg : im using dezire z build.

4. any opinion or suggession on extended battery? im from malaysia btw.
[HD2 Accessories] haxlidinh:
1/ That is a REAL physical product, but it may work, it may not, or it may destroy your phone, lol. No one can ensure about its quality.

2/ Look at 1/

3/You must try it yourself, because there are around 10000 factories around the world can manufacture that kind of product, and I assume less than 0.1% of them are certificated by HTC! Someone would use the same looking battery at yours, but how can you ensure yours and his were from the same factory?

4/ I've seen on Ebay some sellers advertise that they selling the genuine extended battery (BP E400 2300MAH). Hope those aren't fake products but who knows?

My experience: I'm using a Duracel External Power 1000mAh (similar to Enegizer Xpal Power 1000) for emergency recharge. It doesn't look cool but at least it's cheaper and safer for my hd2.
[HD2 Accessories] RicarduZonta:
The guy couldn't even attach the right photo to the auction. It is not an HD2.

I would rather buy these. Tried them both, the official gives more juice, but the other one doesn't make the phone that thick and is a lot cheaper.
[HD2 Accessories] olyloh6696:
Wow! how much is that? Does it work for android and WinMo?
[HD2 Accessories] Marvlesz:
Without even making this thread, don't you think it's a little weird that the image shown is clearly not an HD2 ?
[HD2 Accessories] RicarduZonta:
They both work on winmo and Android. Some roms might have problems dealing with extended battery support.

Official around 25GBP on ebay, used to be more than 40GBP

The one from China 7-11GBP on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EXTENDED-HIGH...sAccessories_PDABatteries&hash=item3f02604bf4

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-HTC-B...850?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb00db4aa

Official is 2300Mah, the cheaper one has 2400Mah written on it, but I doubt that, coz it is slimmer and the official lasts longer for me.

I started seeing the cheaper one with 2600Mah on it on ebay, that must be fake if the size is the same. But if you put this fact aside it is a decent battery with a nice rubbery feel cover which fits perfectly. Kicstand broke glued it in normal position.
[HD2 Accessories] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the reply! ssorrg my thanks meter is full! its because I wanna get a HD2 do bad but i need and extended battery!

Actally i meant to say, sill this work on WP7? coz i heard it has diffrrnet drivers and stuff.
[HD2 Accessories] jzack:
yah that why i ask.. cuz the photo looks wired too.. lol.. doesnt seems like hd2 tho..

nice info with specific item mentioned.. i'll try this i think..

is it the official one? any specific detail on it would be nicer.. ^.^
[HD2 Accessories] RicarduZonta:
Haven't tried wp7 yet. For me android development just got to the stage I was dreaming about. No issues/bugs for me with MDJ HD4.6+hastarin. I am gonna wait a lot before trying wp7. Again the official one works just fine, 2 days, accurate %drain details and it costs 25GBP.

If it is not compatible with your fav android rom, you can sell it and use 2 stock size original batteries which isn't that convenient but still better than a built in non removable battery what lots have in a phone I don't even want to talk about :-D
[HD2 Accessories] Derek0228:
I dont recommend the china cheapo's. They have magical mah. Why? Because they dont really last that longer. I bought one from ebay, and the kickstand brke like 5 minutes after i took it out from the packaging. And, it looks fugly. After that, i bought the official one from ebay, and it works great. Only problem is, android needs eb drivers for it to work, but in wp7 it works (crazily, but it does xD). (:
[HD2 Accessories] RicarduZonta:
I stand on the OEM side as well.

There is an another option to consider if you have money.

The mugen 2600Mah battery for hd2 which is a quality product for 69.99 dollars.
[HD2 Accessories] Marvlesz:
:eek:

That's 16% of the Device's cost !

Does it make my phone fly ? :D .. I mean I'm not buying a power mat, it's just a battery ! It shouldn't be that expensive ;)
[HD2 Accessories] Makić:
So does anyone have those battery I thought of buying one, but I'm not sure is wort of spending so much money on them, but Htc really made mistake with battery of 123omAh for HD2
[HD2 Accessories] dazzyd:
I have bought the 2600mAh mugen battery together with the extended battery case. so far this battery is giving me around 3 days of continous use with me running android off the sd card. on wino 6.5 i was getting around 4 days.

the build quality on the case is questionable though as the clips on it have already cracked after 3 days of use. mugen have been good replying and they will send me another at no extra cost.!!
[HD2 Accessories] Abdul9.:
As for me the extended battery i bought was very cheap and it works very well. The only drawback is that winsmob doesn't show the actual amount of battery i have left. This doesn't seem to be the problem while using android on sd card. One needs to pull the battery in order to make the phone know the battery still has a lot to give.

I was able to go 2 day and like 4 hours.

I played game for more than 2 hours, listened to music for more than 4 hours and surfed a little bit. As far as i can tell, this result is acceptable. I bought the battery for 7.49 euros in total.
[HD2 Accessories] Myrixamophit:
Hey jzack,

when it comes to batteries I recoment always to be careful. There are a lot of products out there not working properly. BUT: most replacement batteries (for all kind of electronics) work just fine, for a while. They really do. What's wrong with them is not that they are not working... it's the specs!

First: Nearly none of them have the capacity with which they are labeled. Take at least a third off, that's the real value for capacity with most noname products.

Second: They do not last very long in most of the cases. Since Batteries are build nearly all the same, the quality of the materials & chemicals and the quality of maufacturing makes the difference! Now try to imagine how good noname products are at these points! :D

Third: In many cases the Phone is not correctly reading the charge, so it is sometimes worth the money bying original stuff. Not having the correct leftover of energy on my screen is a no go for me.

In a nutshell: you can by "cheapos" anytime, with a little bit of risk of course. They will do good for a while.. or not. If they last half a year fo 5$, it's ok. They also could be down to half the capacity after 3-4 month... then buy new ones, since they are so cheap! ;) (which is not the most ecological way I think)

I personally would rather buy 1 or 2 of the standard HTC batteries (or brandname standards) and swap 'em. One always in the bag, one in the car...or in the office... whatever. They are strong, keep the capacity up for a long time and do not cost too much.

Swapping is easy, many HD2 cradles with spare battery charge function are out there on ebay and the Phone itself stays sleek (the bigger battery cover makes it so ugly!) and it still fits in the sleeve/case or pocket. All stays like it is, you just add 1 or 2 spares. And a quick boot for a battery swap isn't really an issue now, is it? ;)

I like that solution much more. But that's probably just me... :D

hope this helps a bit,

regards,

Myrixamophit

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hendrata:
Hello,

I found some threads talking about this but I couldn't understand what's going on so I thought I'd ask as a newbie, is there a way to easily install alternate keyboard on NC? I know that with other android phones you just download and install the keyboard app from Market and then "enable" it via settings. But when I try to do so in NC, when I click on Settings -> Keyboard, it just goes back to the home screen.

If it's not possible (due to the way the nook is rooted) and if it requires some command line actions, is there a tutorial on how to do this?

Thanks

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] NookyLov3r:
Sorry to bring this back from the dead.

I am also trying to install thumb keyboard on a rooted NC. I downloaded thumb keyboard from Amazon marketplace and installed it (per the tutorial by nookdevs). Rebooted (held power button to power down, then turned it back on). Looked in NookColor Tools for the keyboard. Not there. Ok.

I am using Terminal Emulator and I am typing in as exact (with spaces all one line):

"mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /systemcp /data/app/com.beansoft.keyboardplus-1.apk /system/app" enter

i get

"Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory"

then I reboot (as described above) I check nook color tools and nothing.

can someone please explain to a complete n00b step by step, exactly what to type, which keystrokes etc because I cant get this. :(

I also tried to prefix with busybox like suggested on nookdevs tutorial.

I also have File Expert if I can use that for any of this.

Thank you!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] NookyLov3r:
Ok. Still total fail but...

I know I'm supposed to be entering two(three if you count "su")

but after I enter "cp /data/app/com.beansoft.keyboardplus-1.apk /system/app"

I get "cp: not found" (or something similar)

What am I doing wrong? Help Please!!!:confused:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Pre-dawn raid:
I just installed SwiftKey on my NC using Root Explorer to copy the..apk over to /system/app. Rebooted and it showed up in the list and then installed as normal. You can then select the keyboard using Nook Color tools. This is easier IMO than using adb and terminal emulator and all that. It should be noted however that Root Explorer is a paid app. Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] NookyLov3r:
I broke down and got root explorer. oh well it was worth it! thanks!

Hey guys,

Just to get a sense form the different users on this thread. What is your experience with battery life for the different ROMs on here (MDJ's Gingerbread had worked best for me when it still version 2.3 I think). Since, no ROM has given me a decent battery life.

+1 Battery life rules on all of CMYLXGO's builds.

I do think most of the reported drain that people are experiencing is due to them not doing the tweaks needed to have a long lasting battery. Depending on what is set to sync and what is not set to sync out of the box, that will determine your battery life after you load the build. But everything can be tweaked. I haven't really had a build yet that has horrible battery life since I did the research and figured out all of the tweaks.

I'm having a bit of trouble flashing froyo with Odin (it sucks that neither Samsung nor AT&T will just release an official build). My phone is rooted, and I have installed the proper Samsung and USB drivers. I run Odin as administrator and connect my phone via USB, putting it in download mode. When I hit "start" Odin gives me a bit of progress, but the phone simply sits there. I've tried multiple times and have had it sitting here for close to 30 minutes, stuck on the downloading screen. Any suggestions?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I usually keep my N1 at around 30-50 MB free of internal storage, which is enough to have everything I want loaded on, but it's tough to free up much more space than that without uninstalling apps or moving to SD the apps that shouldn't be moved.

So anyway, today my phone suddenly dropped down to 13 MB left and the culprit appeared to be Browser data - suddenly over 46 MB! The cache was already cleared. I went through with Root Explorer and found that the largest file was located in:

/data/data/com.android.browser/app_thumbnails

For some reason a 31.5 MB file had made it into this directory, and Android clearly is not smart enough to clean it up. Anyway I deleted the offending file via Root Explorer and now it's happy.

Any thoughts on how to keep the browser from ballooning like this? I didn't want to delete all browser data because of bookmarks, cookies etc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
because in 2.2 froyo google updated the browser to temporarily store the entire contents of the page you are browsing into memory such that if you lost data connection, the page could be reloaded without the data connection. so when you have a few tabs open in the browser, or a very large site open, all contents are temporarily being stored for just in case.

if you were to close out all the tabs, kill the browser, all would return to normal. often times my browser hits up over 80MB because i have tons of pages open. i just kill all my tabs and the low space warnings go right away.

its a trade off, i dont mind it cause its better than the old way, but the trade off is we suffer with low storage.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I'll try closing tabs next time, but I swear I'd already closed all the tabs and still the bloat persisted across reboots...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
also delete the browser cache if you want to clear the pron vid, that stuff can take up quite a bit of space
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
when this happens to me, occasionally i kill all the tabs and it takes a small bit of time for it to appear back to normal, but never more than a minute or so. but if i close the tabs, then force close the browser, it for sure instantly clears the used space back.

if its happening to you across reboots, then might be something completely different.

FYI i havent cleared my browser cache since July last year hehh, and i use the browser like a madman. i wonder how much space i'd get back if i did?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I find that when space is low, it automatically empties the browser cache to zero. In the scenario I described above, the cache was already empty.

[Android Apps and Games] gsustech:
One possible way of syncing with a PC (which I'm currently testing out) is to use an app like Samba Filesharing (available for free in the market). Using this app you can browse the contents of the phone's sdcard from the PC (e.g. \\phone\sdcard) and you can use any syncing application from within windows to share via a wifi connection.. such as Robocopy.. SyncBackSE.. etc.. :)

Yesterday I copied 11GB FROM my phone to the PC in about 90 min via wifi which is not too bad.. this was the initial sync, so future syncs should take much less as less data should be copied...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniperbag:
I use some silicone case atm, but it feels very bulky and not that safe. As of now, it isn't hard to access the usb-port, but I dunno bout the alumor case though.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shooi:
I've been using a Capdase Alumor case since I got my X10 so I can't compare with anything else, but I think it's a great case.

It adds a bit of weight (as you'd expect from an all metal/rubber case) but I like that because it makes the phone feel more solid. Phone's been dropped from '8 year old daughter' height, and survived with no damage to the phone and only a slight scrape on the back of the case.

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out of the case if you need to, but there's no real need. All of the X10's buttons are covered with rubber, but they all work fine. You have unrestricted access to the USB socket. Access to the 3.5 mm jack socket is very slightly restricted because the rubber has a bevel around the hole for some reason (strength I guess), but this is only an issue if you have a really thick plastic bit on your headphone jacks (my Sennheiser CX300s fit fine :) )

I was concerned about the rubber coming away from the metal on one part of the case, but it's not got any worse since I got it, so I guess it's ok. Rubber seems to be holding up well to regular 'in and out of pocket' use.

All in all, I'd recommend this case (and no I don't work for Capdase :D ). I got mine from Mobilefun in the UK and they're great (no, I don't work for them either!). They seem very cheap in that link above - watch out for fakes!!!

EDIT: Oh, and no problem opening the USB plastic cap (no harder than it is anyway, that is)
