You Slovaks are too kind! Next time I'm in the area I will for sure come by for a rooting.

Anyone else?

Every 'How-to' I read has some kind of drawback - ie. can not root with build 1.89.631.1 I don't know if that still applies or not ...

help putting android on hd2 nand - i flashed the HSPL but when I try to flash the radio active sync breaks when the installer reboots my phone into boot loader. the installer then gives an error that the communication between phone and computer is broken. I'm on windows 7 with 6.1 WMDC via parallels (might be the problem but i have no other pc). thanks!

Firstly this is not the place to be creating topics or asking questions, this section is only for posting developments etc, If you want to ask a question have some common sense and use the "Q&A" forum.

Second, we have stickies and guides, all your answers are in there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Read the stickies and next time post in the appropriate place, Q&A.

thanks for the reply - i'm using the guide and i'm reading the stickies and it's not working... i posted in q&a as you would see if anyone went there. but since i got no replies, i had to post where people go and give great insight like your comment.

thanks again.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tjcraig7:
yes always as admin, thanks though..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MattOG:
Sarcasm, gotta love it.

What's the actual error that it's saying? I'm betting it doesn't say it like that...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tjcraig7:
Yeah, you're right.. sorry I got worked up..

The error I get when I try to flash a radio:

"the update utility cannot connect to your pda phone. please check that your usb cradle/cable is connected."

I am connected in WMDC, I do have the HSPL 2.08 flashed already. I have tried flashing from bootloader (also didn't work). I am on a mac, and I think that's the problem.

Thanks for responding MattOG, excuse the sarcasm from previous posts.

Try pressing down the vol down button as you boot your phone then when you get the 3 coloured screen plug in your usb and try that way
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MattOG:
He said he already tried from bootloader.

Put your phone in bootloader. It should say serial at the bottom. Now when you connect in bootloader, does the text on the hd2 change from serial to usb?

If not, have you previously disabled usb connections to install magldr?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tjcraig7:
thinking parallels vis mac is the problem here..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tjcraig7:
yes it does say usb in bootloader. i bought the phone from a tmobile store yesterday and only installed HSPL.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
If you do get usb showing in bootloader and the spl version is 2.08.hspl and you have a 50 series radio = 2.08.50 or higher then you can install magldr by running the romupdateutility.exe file as Administrator. There is no need (and also not possible) to have an Activesync connection once you go to bootloader mode.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tjcraig7:
Thanks for the help Clyde and Matt, but Mskip confirmed that this process needs to be done on a PC, not on a mac via virtual machine.
[Fascinate General] gabenoob:
Ever the noob, but always willing to learn I have another question. I've been rooted for about a week and I'm wondering what people mean when they say DJ05 radio or DL09 radio. I get Dj05 and Dl09 are the different updates for the phone, but what is the 'radio' and why is it required for say, DL30 to work (I haven't had an issue with this but I'm wondering what it means anyways)

Also, when people talk about voodoo Kernels and the like, what does this mean, and how is it different then simply flashing a rom?

EDIT: Reading the first post is good for learning about Kernels, still don't understand the radio part though.

Thanks and cheers

Gabe
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
For each update to the OS (system and kernel), there's an associated update to the baseband/modem/radio (all the same thing). Think of this as just the firmware for the actual cellular radio. It's tweaked to work with a specific update to the OS, so when Verizon/Samsung releases an update, they release 3 main parts - the kernel, the ROM and the baseband. Typically, they should all be used together - DJ05 versions of each, or DL09 versions of each.

Sometimes, not much changes in one part and you can use it with different revisions of the other(s). Like now, where the DJ05 and DL09 versions of the baseband are still compatible with the DL30 rom and kernel.

Other times, they're not compatible, for example DI01 basebands weren't compatible with DJ05 or DL09, and things like SMS would stop working if these parts were mis-matched.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
Hello,

I got ignored everywhere I posted this issue in nightly threads and such, so I decided to make my own thread about it.

So here it is:

My carrier is Vidéotron and my plan is unlimited calls/texts in my "zone" which is the Greater Montreal area.

So, the problem is that, in my notification bar, I have a notification with the icon of a SIM card saying "Zone" when I'm in my zone (Montreal) and "..." when I lost signal or "Partner" if it goes on the Rogers network. This notification keeps staying there and doesn't go away no matter how many times I click it. BTW, clicking it does nothing at all except close the notification bar -_-

This does NOT happen on the stock ROM and only happens on CyanogenMod (both 6 and 7). That said, I did try MIUI but completely forgot if the icon was there...although I am about 85% sure it was there. Any ideas on how to disable that notification? It's quite annoying, especially in landscape mode where it takes so much space in my notification bar for nothing...

Last thing: This DOES happen to all Vidéotron customers on CyanogenMod

Thank you for any help you may provide :cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] constellanation:
It's a long shot, and the only idea I've got, but do you have settings>cyanogenmod settings>user interface>date and provider settings checked and or unchecked?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
Thanks for the reply!

That setting is nonexistent in CM 7, so can't really test it on this one, but I remember I had tried that several times while I was on CM 6 and it didn't do anything except remove my carrier's name from the lockscreen and/or notification bar.

I don't think it's really a feature since it seems that only Videotron customers are experiencing this thing...I believe it could be in the way the SIM card handles the roaming status...must be somewhere deep down in the code :P

If you or someone else come up with an idea, I'll be glad to hear it ;)

If not, I'll probably post a ticket on the Cyanogen bug tracker or so...

Wow, thanks Rusty!

Worked perfectly!

I'll go announce that on the Videotron forum, the people will be glad to fix that too :P

BTW, does it have any impact on anything else? What is that file used for exactly?

Again, thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
It's the SIM Tool Kit app, some mobile banking things need it apparently, but it's something left out of the stock ROM so can't be that great.

FYI

This app removes the zone icon (sim card) from the notification bar of the phone. This is a common situation for customer of Videotron to determinate if the customer is in his Zone or not.

Hey all,

I always used the Nokia AD45 or something with my SGS and it works fine but they got caught in my pants and the cable got damaged. Bought another set off ebay and they work fine with music but in a phone call they don't work. The sound still comes through the handset and not the headphones. What gives? It works 100% with music...

Also, why is it that you can not use the samsung camera app while in a phone call but all third party camera apps work? Any way this can be changed?

Hello, I have been trying to install different launcher programs on my htc magic from the marketplace. When I install them they do not show anywhere on my phone. My phone says "Successfully Installed" but afterwards I cannot find them anywhere.

I have a rooted HTC Magic running 2.1 v 6.0.

I have tried multiple launcher and home programs and the only one that seems to work is Go Launcher. How come none of the others work?

I have tried installing on a few occasions.

Any help or an easier route for themes and customizing would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Themes] Nephilim:
Chances are they are successfully installed but you just don't see them. Download homeswitcher from the marketplace, it will show you all the launchers you have installed and allow you to change between them at will :)

If they are installed, hit HOME and you will have to choose among them. If not, they are NOT installed.

[Droid X General] smyers1012:
Hey guys. I know I am probably a complete noob at this stuff but I would really like to learn how to build custom roms. I know it involves some serious coding and things like that but I feel like if I follow someones instructions I will eventually get the hang of it. I am not looking for someone to link me to a guide cause they can be very hard to follow for noobs ecspecially for the Droid X. (Don't think I'm wrong in saying that.) If anyone knows how to make custom roms and has the tools to make one if they could please help me out it would be much appreciated. I am a fast learner and will definately pay you and give you credit to everything I create. Here is what I have available. Hopefully I will be able to build a Rom with this.

-Droid X - Rooted

-Windows Computer with Windows 7 Software

-Ability to download anything without getting viruses because of High Quality Norton Protection

Hopefully someone can help me out with this.

Thank You
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Don't mean to dash any hopes you had of building a ROM, but unless you know java pretty well... the chances of building a ROM are slim... Android is built on java and so knowing some form of java would be required to build a ROM. Even a lot of the devs who are extremely talented at developing such as droid2169 who I have talked to say even with their experience ROM development is tough.

This isn't something you can have someone teach you in a short amount of time without some sort of coding experience... I wish you the best, as I also would love to be able to do some dev work to contribute back to the community, but it's not as simple as legos. You can't just take pieces and put things together...it requires a great deal of work and understanding.
[Droid X General] smyers1012:
how about themes? are they difficult to make?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
it depends... If you are familiar with photoshop, and know some of the architecture for android (I.e. xml file contents, and what they pertain to) then no, it is one of the easier things to do in android. You can also look into metamorph. This allows you to build themes easier by replacing images with ones you find in other themes or out on the web wherever. There are tutorials for metamorph.
[Droid X General] blueis300:
A big difference compared to putting some files together for a hybrid on my Blackberry.
[Droid X General] smyers1012:
Well I'd like to build a theme if anyone will teach me about xml or whatever i need to know about it... I will pay and give you credit in the theme
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I can give some basics. To start you will want to use a program like photoshop, gimp, or paint.net for image creation. You will want to use apkmanager and learn how to use it. I will try and grab some more info and post back later.

[EVO 4G General] jhoffy22:
Okay so I have been thinking about this for awhile now and either I'm missing something or there is no substantial differences.

I was recently on Myns 2.2 RLS 5 and in my waiting time to RLS 6 I decided to try out the lastest nightly of CM7. Funny thing is, I was running ADW launcher which is also the stock launcher in CM7. I came to the conclusion that there really aren't too many differences between CM7 and Warm 2.2 or any sense ROM for that matter.

CM7/AOSP:

More customization

Warm2.2/Sense:

Full functionality of the phone with nothing not working

Sense launcher capabilities

A few other minor capabilities

I really, really cannot figure out the difference in the 2 at all aside from one being sense and the other being AOSP.

Potentially, I could use ADW launcher on both of them and they would look exactly the same and really the only differences would be that Sense would have full functionality of its features and CM7 would have more available customizations.

I MUST be missing something here. I have never really used an AOSP Rom as my daily driver so I can't say anything about the battery life or the speed and performance, but is this where the major differences in the two types of ROMS are?

Please no flaming here guys, I'm just looking at this in the simplest way possible.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Not only is there the Sense vs AOSP difference (which is big in my opinion, regardless of which you prefer), but you're also talking about two different versions of Android. CM7 is Gingerbread, and Warm 2.2 is Froyo. They're both Android, but other than that they're completely different.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Theres lots of little things some of which you don't notice if you are using adw, like senses widgets(paid launcher pro comes closest to replacing these).

Mainly the dialer, email, htc twitter app, music app, lockscreen, calculator, camera, calender, Bluetooth, Facebook integration etc. It's mostly apps with some os stuff like the Bluetooth on CM can use a wiimote.

I wish HTC would let us use thier apps on asop. HTC's dialer and email are what made it really hard for me to switch.

Before I get told about dialer one, I use it and its fine it's more the in call screen that pisses me off. I have to enter 16-24 strings of numbers about 15 times a day and having the number pad on the top is just plain stupid.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
code. the code is way different on the entire thing, aosp versus sense. so if you are going to use adw anyways, i'd definetally go with cm7 to conserve battery and performance.

edit: wow didnt even realize i'm over 1000 posts. just kind of let that slip by. well, you get my 1002.
[EVO 4G General] jhoffy22:
This is what I was aiming for. I like the functionality of adw launcher and was wondering where I would see the best results with it. Everything seems so much crisper in sense like the Facebook integration and dialer just like he said so it will be a hard change for me to make. Ilk try it out until rls 6 comes out. Then I'm going to have to try out calkulins and mikfroyo because Ive heard a lot of good things about them.
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
All I can say is try them all and see what you like best. I have tried almost every Rom for the Evo and I stick with CM. The reason being is I don't like HTC Sense and use ADW on it anyway, so why not use an AOSP Rom and that way it won't kill my battery to have ADW because HTC Sense still runs in the background even if you are using a home replacement app. Really I love the smoothness and quickness of AOSP and I love that team CM has coded a fully functional AOSP, built from the ground up, for just about every device out right now. Unbelievable! Anyway, back to my point. Try multiple Rom's and give them each a few days so that you get to use all the functions you normally use with them and decide which one you like best. This is what I did, but I was already a little biased toward CM because that's what I used on my MyTouch and loved then and still love it now. I don't hate on Sense because I feel that HTC did a nice job and made a very functional version of android which works well with their devices, but for me it is CM7 all the way.

PS. I still flash new versions of some of the Sense Rom's that I liked every once in a while to see if they will pull me away from CM, but I always go back.

I used calibration from this thread and also from an older install of mine.

Then during the setup process, after clicking on the droid, it freezes and the image stay put, I can not do anything but soft reset. It does it at different stages: Time setup, or google account setup, or location setup...
