[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kundieye:
Hello,

I started experimenting with my Android yesterday when I found out about metamorph which requires rooted phone and busybox..

I managed to root the phone but couldnt install the busybox with the application from the market - it says that busybox was not found..

Then I installed the SDK platform, and wanted to do it with adb

I downloaded busybox ... tar.bz2 file and unrared it into SDK/tools and tried pushing it to my android to /system/local by doing:

adb push /Users/../android/platform-tools/busybox /data/local

but adb pushed the subfolders (children) to the /data/local folder instead of the folder with childen folders itself.

Now I wonder:

1. how to remove all those junk files?

2. am I doing the right thing? should I copy the tar.bz2 without unraring it? what is the right procedure?

is there any easier way to accomplish this?

Thanks for help

One way to get busybox is with titanium backup. Install the app open then menu*problems*Yes, do it.

I'm running bionix v 1.2 and I know puzzle and glass have unlock sound when u unlock it. But whenever I switch to Android unlock it doesn't make any sound. I tried renaming the file to TW_Unlock_Android since other ones were named TW_Unlock_Puzzle and etc but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXLunchbox:
Bump...

I'm having the same problem. I came from Gingerclone, over to bionix due to all the rave reviews of how well it ran. Searched all through the bionix forums and found nothing, but when you use the Android unlock screen you do not get an unlock sound. All of the other lockscreens available give you the sound. Anything we can do to fix this on our own. Did some research on the web as well and couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!:o

Hey guys,

I am doing this rom flash for a mate of mine.

I am trying to flash the tastyginger rom, but i am having some real difficulties while flashing the rom.

He has a dutch htc hero from hi. He has the latest rom according to the update utility thingy. it is the 2.1-update1 version. i believe i've read something about nand locks, and i think his phone has exactly that. the first step to flash a new rom is to root the phone. Rooting the phone works, gives no errors.

But when i try to flash the recovery image, it says it cant find the flash_image file.

it is should be located in the system folder on the phone but it isn't. i've tried to install it with android sdk, but the thing just is really acting weird. htc sync isn't working with the phone. it says there isn't a phone in the usb.

Now to make it clear, can somebody give me a clear tutorial on how to flash the thing correctly? I've done this before on my hd2. i've flashed the cyanogen 2.6 rom to my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cokey77:
have you tried rom manager to flash rom its the easiest way i know. the way i rooted was with universal androot apk then installed rom manager clicked on flash clockworkmod recovery then went to install rom from sd card in rom manager scrolled down to the rom i wanted to flash choice it and pressed ok i then select backup existing rom and wipe data and cache and pressed ok then it will ask reboot and install and press ok and let it do its thing then wait untill it reboots and it should of installed rom which you wait to boot should have a custom splash screen that comes up and wait until your prompted to input details and such. hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiekert123:
hey, thanks for the advice.

i let him try this method, but when he chose the htc hero gsm to install the cwm, the app refused to install it and gave this error message:An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands.

I forget to mention that the method you posted, that we already tried it.

But thanks for the effort!

rom manager has been down lately everyone has had trouble flashing clockwork recovery, but ra recovery second from bottom is a secondary choice however other features of rom manager might not work if you use this you will have to boot into recovery manually.you also need super user to use this as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:

Use this apk, i have always used this method!

Download clockwork or ra recovery rename it to recovery.img and copy to sdcard

Backup recovery with flashrec

then type sdcard/recovery.img

flash recovery and done!

Well, pretty much the only thing I would want to change is the audio. It just sounds too flat. I got a message from HTC saying that they have to comply with EU regulations. It seems like they have a volume limit and a speaker without bass functionality.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Will you be kind enough to tell is what build are you using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Szicophrenic:
Was using NAND or maybe its a wrong answer since im a total noob......sorry if its wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Please be specific as to what build you installed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Szicophrenic:
Was using magldr113 and then nand build........not the sd build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Not helpful at all.

I am referring to froyo sense like dft stock sense, mdj cm7 gingerbread, coredroid dhd v1.1, and many more.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Well have you installed a NAND build with HTC SENSE on it? If you have build without HTC SENSE than you can use fancy widget.

If you have SENSE build and still it is not showing you your location. Then try and open maps and check whether your gps is working fine or not.

If your GPS is not working fine then you can download an app called gps status which will download A-gps data to your phone and help get gps better. Also there are pleanty of threads for GPS fix, read them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
That's the problem because info given is incomplete.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:

Thx ur right got some gps problems.....will give it a try with the gps status app :-D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Glad I could help.... :) Happy flashing.... hehehe...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XMaseX171:
If your GPS is working and you are using something like Fancy Widget, then you want to go to the weather settings and make sure you check "Use my location" and "Use GPS location". Ive never had a problem when I switched. If you are also having problems finding out your build do this. Click the windows icon, settings, (scroll to the bottom) about phone, and your Build number is your current build. It is also helpful to see what version of Android your running, your baseband (Radio), and the Kernel. Hope you get it fixed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
You just can check Use my Location and uncheck GPS. It will work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XMaseX171:
Even better! I did not know that. Still new to the whole Nand thing. Finally made the switch and still playing with different roms. Thanks for the info.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
I only check gps when using navigation because weather uses data to detect location.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] genuinecrazy:
Not working for me, im using this build: link,

try'd to set up gps status but it is not helping as well...

any ideas ? :confused:
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
From Samsung's Website:

Samsung had a news release of the new Vibrant 4G or the so called, Galaxy S 4G. In the news print, i've excerpt the synopsis of its specs:

The news print can be found here.

What do you guys think?

I'm more interested on that 4G antenna modem, that 1650 mAh battery, and what kind of camera they've installed....

Hmm.
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
Probably gonna get that battery if its not too expensive
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
It may require a different battery door as well?
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
No its the same battery that was in galaxy s international version that was released in Italy so it should be the same.
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
I don't think so. If anything, the I9000 door *might* fit?

I'm curious about the antenna. I wonder is it's compatible and would fit on the vibe's current antenna slot.

Then if the Vibe can capture that bandwith.... hmm

I can't wait to get my hands on that and see if i can operate on it and swap the antenneas :D
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
I thought so... Thanks eunkipark for clarification.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
The battery size is the same, that will not change, I am also interested in the camera hoping it will be compatible with our Vibrant
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Why does Vibrant 4g gets a 16 GB MicroSD card while the Vibrant only got a 2 GB....:eek:
[Vibrant General] remarquian:
With a 5GB monthly cap until one is throttled and 21Mbps (or 2.62MBps) service, that means one can use the service at full blast for 1904 seconds, or 31.74 minutes a month before throttling.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Lol. Tmobile just got fked by a guy who knows math
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
You forgot to account for the fact that faster speed means lower actual usage time, meaning that the 31.74 minutes will last you for a while.

Ex. a 200 MB video instead of loading at 7.2 mbps (0.88 MB/s rounded to nears 1 MB), taking at least 200 seconds; the same videos will now load in less than 80 seconds.

This is of course, if your phone can hit the theoretical maximum all the time.
[Vibrant General] tehmanmuffin:
the vibrant 4g has 1 GB internal plus 16 GB on a micro sd card for a theoretical total of 33 GB

the vibrant has 16 GB internal plus a micro sd slot for a theoretical total of 48 GB
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
No both are same 48gb. I guess he was tryng to say they come with 16gb micro SD card and ours come with 2gb micro SD card
[Vibrant General] remarquian:
Yeah, 200MB of video is like 20 minutes of full resolution video on our phones at a 5GB/month cap it is like 8-9 hours of video a month.

That is about five or six 90 minute movies a month.

If you are downloading movies, it still makes sense to do it over wifi.

Given that caps I'm not pining after the V+4G (not that I'd turn one down) and why I think that 4G is a poor substitute for broadband.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Yup, I mean the 4g technology is amazing. It's just the carrier and their artificial cap that's crippling the service. Today it's like the old dial up time, when access is counted by the minutes (in our case it is counted by the bandwidth). I can't wait until we move pass this period and onto the future where wireless internet is the norm.
[Vibrant General] lawalty:
:eek:OMFG!!

Thats it!

I'm throwing my (totally outdated) Vibrant in the trash and flopping down another $500+ clams and getting me this bad boy!!!

~just kidding:p~
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Wait a second y'all I thought the 4G didn't have an external sd? Therefore only the 16gb internal.

Yeah I just read the whole press release and it only mentions one sd card.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
I'm definitely getting the battery for my Vibrant, and possibly the camera, I'm curious to know which one it is, I don't mind the speeds as I have strong 3g ;]
[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
Hello,

Can someone explain what do Open Recovery ?

Thank you
[Milestone XT720 General] smoki3:
It install a temporaly recovery system on your XT720. You can perform backups and restore with nandroid on it
[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
I have a problem, when I reboot on open recovery (volume up key) I just have a yellow triangle and I cannot select anything. Do you know how to use open recovery ?
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
it is normal system recovery screen. press volume up + camera key and you'll get the menu.

to use open recovery, you need to boot normally, then open the System Recovery app and click Recovery Reboot. then it will reboot to OpenRecovery menu.
[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
Thank you it's work.
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
The best reason to do it is to allow you to access the phone via ADB shell in case something gets mucked up in the installation process (e.g. modification of mot_boot_mode by various applications to SD apps).

Having that actually allowed me to make more experimentations on the startup scripts with apps2sd. I have made an optimized version of the app2sd startups so that mot_boot_mode is kept as is, I am using /system/sd/install-recovery.sh myself.

Hi,

Can any1 help me with letting me know the best app to freeze the app from startup .... and it should only start when I want that app to start.

any app that can freeze the app ( system + market app ) from startup ?

Thank you.

Change AutoRun Settings

What you're asking about technically isn't freezing the app, but changing it's autorun settings. When you freeze an app, you can't run it at all.

I have experienced the same frustration. I found an app called Gemini App Manager that has the ability to change an app's autorun settings. It's in the market. I haven't been using it for long enough to tell you how well it works.

What!? 9 months isn't that old... I found the thread by doing a search... Now, if someone else finds the thread, at least there's an answer :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ty5982:
try link2sd,it's free from the market or just uninstall the app u dnt like lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ghodmode:
link2sd can freeze apps, but it can't do what the original poster wanted... prevent an app from starting automatically, but still allow it to run on demand.
[A7 General] PhillyGirl2011:
I've been looking for a ereader/tablet for a while. I bought my mom the pandigital, but it is too limited for me. I bought the nook color which I rooted, but around the end of the return period I found out about Elocity. It seemed to offer all the features this noob wanted. I essentially want a device that offered more functions than a general ereader. I already have a samsung vibrant so am familiar with the android os. I returned my mom's pandigital and my nook color in exchange for Elocity.

After my elocity charged I installed update.zip posted by Dexter. It looped at the logo screen and I then panicked a little. Went back online and read to just restart. After that all was well. I'm converting my video library to .mp4 so I'm happy to see that this tablet plays that format without issue. I'm lusting after a 32gig card now...I've already loaded up this 16gig card.

I am really liking the functionality of this device. It seems to process pretty quickly. The sound is better than the nook color too which is an added bonus. I truly hope that development doesn't stop on this device because I'll probably have it for a while.
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Quite a few smartphones out there support hibernate. HTC is amongst the manufacturers that makes it possible to completely shutdown the phone and write all memory to a file on the nand which is put back in memory when the phone is turned back on. This way it only takes a few seconds to go from off to fully functioning, practically the same thing computers can do for years. Now I wonder if this could be done with the Defy (and possibly any other Android phone for that matter). I don't know how HTC does it but I guess it's pure software as in not an integrated Android feature. And if they can do it I'm sure some of the XDA guys can do it. Or is that wishful thinking?? ;)
[Defy General] shad0wboss:
Well if you want to save battery, then there are certain task killers which actually closes all the tasks which are not in use but running (excluding ignore list) and this way whenever the screen is turned off, it closes those tasks, that improves the battery. If that is what you meant?

I found this on google:

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/hibernate_ctp.html
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
No what I mean is in the event you have to shut down the phone entirely that all content in the RAM gets written to nand (or maybe sd). This way when it boots again it simply restores its RAM within seconds, effectively cutting boot time to only a few seconds instead of 40. Compare this with Windows' hibernate function for the pc.

Turns out HTC calls it Fast Boot. It's not a real hibernation function because if you put the phone to sleep with it and remove/replace the battery it would perform a normal cold boot. So it's more of a very low power sleep mode, guess more like a computer's S3 sleepstate where only the RAM stays powered while all the rest (cpu, chipset, video, audio etc) is turned off.
[Defy General] madlive:
Sounds like a very interesting option, very curious if this would be possible on a defy.
[Defy General] watt9493:
This would be a nice feature. :)
[Defy General] sarge78:
Totally pointless if you ask me. Just enable airplane mode if you want epic battery life?
[Defy General] Step666:
Or turn it all the way off and save even more power.

There are also plenty of 'smarter' ways to safe power, such as scheduling the handset to automatically disabling 3G overnight etc, which don't even require you to switch the handset off.
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Airplane mode still leaves the cpu switched on. The purpose of that mode is to be still able to use the device without a working connection.

Say you are away from home and didn't bring the charger. Now the battery is almost dead. Then a very low power sleep mode would come in handy because it boots in only a few seconds and after a few more seconds you can turn it 'off' again. Fast and snappy, hardly using any power. And this is XDA so another extremely valid reason to have it is simply because we can. ;) For pc's it's everyday technology so why not make it available on our pocket sized super computers?
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
I always disable hibernate in my PC. :p
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Actually me too ;) but I do use the sleep mode quite often with my laptop. Works great when you move your laptop a lot to other places but don't want long boot times. It could actually survive days in this mode on a full battery.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] cyanide911:
I just bought an Optimus One and I'm not satisfied with the game performance.

Fifa 2010 runs fine, but with any tap on the screen it slows down and drops framerate drastically.

Is this some problem with my phone or does everyone experience this? Also, any luck running NFS Shift and such games?

EDIT: Just read about some 'touchscreen lag fix kernal'. Any more info on that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciolnadu:
NFS shift runing perfect for me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sippolo:
Actually any game I've tried till now (even HD ones, the ones I manage to run...) is working perfectly with no lag nor slow fps.

But you have to mod the O1 a bit (custom recovery, modded kernel, hw acc + jit enabled, CPU overclock).

Does anyone know if the stagefright player has anything to do with game performance too?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rosuvladut:
Flash your phone with lagfix kernel.Guide HERE
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cyanide911:
Would all that require rooting the phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sippolo:
Yes you just need z4root to root your phone.

It's always reversible, so no way you could worry about it ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peacekeeper05:
to get the best out of your phone, you can use custom kernels and roms +OC

the touchscreenlagfix kernel solves your problem about the cpu usage/framerate drop. Before, 3D/HD games that requires touch/d-pad was almost unplayable because of the sudden drop of framerate+lag.

it was a big BUG back then but now we are lucky that someone was able to fix it and now games like Hawkx, Nova, gtracing(games that requires touch) works Good on my phone.

NFS shift actually works fine even on stock rom w/o any MOd.

there are lots of guides in here discussing about the touchscreen lagfix kernel so you should try it if you want a better gamign experience on Lg optimus one.
