[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qsaxus:
When I flash new roms, I drop zip onto my sd then boot CWrecovery, then flash zip from clockwork recovery, without using rom manager. I had an issue restoring a nandroid backup i made using Rom manager (md5 sum issue?) and i couldn't restore the backup. I read somewhere this can happen from time to time. Rom Manager is good, you can rename your backups. Flashing roms gets addictive!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
About the md5 sum error, sometimes having spaces in your backup name will make it say that. Remove spaces and it should work again.

Hi,

Just got my NC and manually updated to 1.1.0. Then discovered that rooting instructions with Autonooter don't cover the update. I can follow instructions but I'm not a developer type -- so:

Is there a handy guide to rooting that will work with 1.1.0?

And/or: Is there a way to restore the NC to 1.0.0 and start from there?

Thanks -- I really have searched for this but I'm not finding it, or not understanding that I've found it when I have :)
[Nook Color General] |attf|:
yeah, go back to 1.0.1

Hey guys so i spent sometime making a custom Android VS Apple boot animation.

Its 480X800

here is the download link - Android vs Apple

Let me know what you think if you like it or not. Also if you need it faster or slower let me know. it seems as tho each rom needs a bit of a tweak for it.

If you don't know how to install it then look at this thread for instructions they should be very similar depending on your rom Other boot Animation
[Android Themes] JSmurfy:
thats hysterrical.. how would one load this is it flashable from recovery or is this a root explorer thing?
[Android Themes] ianreecej:
This isn't flashable as i have no idea how to make them flashable through recovery. But it takes about 2 minutes to replace your current boot animation using root explorer or a similar app. If you need help look at the bottom link on my post or Private message me and i'll be happy to walk you through it.
[Android Themes] JSmurfy:
I actually followed all steps. I keep getting the last bootanim that i flashed yesterday. I been breaking my head alllllll day.. ill pm u in a lil.. i can't get anything to load in root explorer over my last flashed anim....

sent from evo ....
[Android Themes] ianreecej:
Okay well I'll put the instructions here again just in case anyone else needs them (plus i'll flush it out a bit)

This is again for 480x800 resolution

Installation:

1. get es file explorer or root explorer

2. mount the drive as writable

(with root explorer its just a matter of hitting the button on the top that says "Mount R/W"// with es file explorer you have to go into the menu/settings/root options and check "Root Explorer" and then "Mount File System")

3. take the zip you download here and place it on the root of your sdcard

(I would suggest first looking at your current boot animation and checking the name depending on your rom it may be "bootanimation.zip" or "VZW_bootanimation.zip" or some other variation. You boot animation should be located either in system/customize/resources or system/media or sometimes again a variation. Whatever it is named write it down EXACTLY and rename the bootanimation.zip you downloaded here to match it. Then place it on the SD Card)

4. unmount the drive from your computer

5. go to system/customize/resource (or where your boot animation is stored read above for other possibility) and rename the current VZW_bootanimation.zip to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak to save it just in case (again these files may be names something else like stated above).

6. move the bootanimation.zip you downloaded to the same place as your current bootanimation.zip.bak file ( at this point your old file should have a .bak at the end)

7. restart and enjoy the new boot animation.
[Android Themes] JSmurfy:
I never tried this was. Will report back thank you

Hi Guy´s, it is impossible to update my samsung apps , it says that i need a sim card , i have tried to trick it out with the 1 up button and 2 down button , etc.... but with no results !

Can anyone help me out , thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
Same problem here, maybe they are updating it. I used to be able to access it a few days ago with my current set up.
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Get a payg sim and leave it without credit in the yab
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
Ok its been a day and still not able to access Samsung apps, any one else having these problems?

EDIT: i think i figured out why my Samsung Apps app does not work, i recently installed Media Hub from an AT&T tab thread and i had to change some build.prop files in order for it to work. Now i am looking for a working Media Hub app for my T-Mobile tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] Heppieboeddah:
Well i had some probs as well. Changed the /system/csc/sales_code.dat==> to VDF.

Build.prop:

ro.product.locale.language=nl

ro.product.locale.region=NL

That gave me full acces to Samsung Apps en Media-Hub widget
[Galaxy Tab General] Waxwrong:
I asked samsungapps directly about this problem and was told that samsungapps was not supported on the Galaxy Tab. Strange that it downloads the Tabs 4 main apps from samsungapps when you first start using the Tab but then nothing. I put the same SIM in my phone and samsungapps went fine. It is just blocked on the Tab. Kies told me the same thing.

That is it in Thailand anyway, it may be a different story in other countries but I know samsungapps doesn't work in Laos which is a short swim away over the Mekong.

It is a bit like google market, technically only available in certain countries.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
Tried to change the locale.region to GB but nothing happens the Samsung Apps app does not work. Don't know what else to do
[Galaxy Tab General] Heppieboeddah:
Did you set language to =en

language is en

region is GB

Save and make it read-only again. Then reboot.

What dus youre csc sales_code.dat say?
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
the language was already set to en and i changed the region to GB. The sale_code.dat is XEU. Everything saved and is read-only but sill same issue.

EDIT: SOLVED..... well i decided to try something, since my Samsung Apps app did not work after replacing the build.prop to get the AT&T Media Hub to work i thought of restoring my original build.prop that i had backed up, and everything seems to working ok, Media Hub still works and now i finally have Samsung Apps app up and running again.........
[Galaxy Tab General] Heppieboeddah:
Couldt you tell us what went wrong and what was the difference in the both buid.props.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
i really could not tell you what the differences are but all i can tell you is that i got the build.prop from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909058

it sates to use this build.prop to work with the Media Hub.

well actually what i can remember is that my original build.prop has the devise name as GT-P100 (from Euro firmware)

and the region as GB

and the build.prop i used from the thread had the devise name as SGH-I987 (from At&T)

and region as US

now on the back of my tab it reads as devise being SGH-T849 (from T-Mobile)

i couldnt tell you any other differences between the two that would make my Samsung Apps app stop from working.

sorry cant really get a screen capture.......

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makskylan:
I keep having an issue with my EVO with constant reboots.The reboots seem like it is the same scenario that everyone else has. Seems like heavy data usage, sometimes while charging, it just bootloops once or could be 20 times. I know I can unroot and take it to a Sprint Store and let them check it out. I am considerng just making a claim on my insurance and just pay the $100.00 deductable. I have never made a claim before. I was going to tell them it has water damage. What kind of run around do they give you? Any advice?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Well if sprint found out that phone was rooted you will have to pay those $100. So if am not wrong there is no need to lie if you already willing to pay those $100. If am wrong please correct me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
If you decide to claim it with Asurion they really don't ask any questions. When I made my claim I just told them "I messed it up somehow" and that was good enough. They don't give a crap.

I would unroot and bring it in to the sprint store first, it's worth a shot. If you can get out of having to drop $100 why not at least try?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
File the claim online and there are no hassles.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
Asurion doesn't care. They are insurance, that's what its for. It may be worth as the others have said, running the newest full update and taking it in to sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luist4498:
I believe there is a way they can tell if it is water damage inside the phone. A while back when i had a razor phone with Assurion ins i was told that they didnt cover water damage. Dont know about now though?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSjon:
Yes it is that little red and white sticker by the battery, just tell them you lost it down an ice fishing hole and pay the $100
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makskylan:
Do you have to send them the damaged phone back to them? That is if I tell them it's broken and not lost.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
If the phone isn't lost or stolen, you have to send it back to them. If its lost and you find it, you then are suppose to send it to them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klquicksall:
The only way I fixed my reboot problem was by getting a new EVO.

The EVO you wish you had
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makskylan:
I went online after I came home from work and filed a claim. I told them it doesn't charge right, that it has bent pins in the port. I know it cost a hundred bucks but getting tired of the bootloops. Now I just have to root my new one when it gets here. I have downloaded the Unrevolked files and I still have the origional files that I rooted this one with. I believe it was the toast method. Thanks for the info guys...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
I still dont understand why you wouldnt spend a half hour, unroot, and take it into a sprint store. The WORST case, they send you to asurion. The BEST case, you get a brand new phone for free. That's why your phone has a one year warranty, for issues like this...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
When you get your replacement and send in your old one make sure you remove the battery and sd card. All they want back is the phone, keep all cables and batteries, etc.
[Flipside General] mordechai:
Could someone please tell me how to start sideloading my flipside? Ultimately, I want to root it, but I can't even do that because the z4root, which I downloaded, will not install because of the whole 2.1 factor.
[Flipside General] bakageta:
I used Sideload Wonder Machine to get z4root on mine, or you can do it manually with ADB if you have the sdk installed. Once you have root, it's not incredibly hard to enable non-market apps, so you don't need to sideload from the pc.

Make sure you install the motorola drivers when you hook your phone to the pc, turn on usb debugging, and set the option on the phone to "charge only." The whole process is fairly easy.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phydoux:
Hi everybody,

I'm going to be visiting Switzerland in a couple of weeks. T-Mobile's roaming rate on voice calls alone is crazy (I have no idea what they'd charge for data usage, and I'm afraid to look!) Because of this, I don't intend to use my T-Mobile SIM card while I'm there.

Does anybody have any experience with unlocking the Vibrant and using it in Switzerland, or some other European country? Are there pre-paid SIM cards that will also allow me to use data services? Are they pretty expensive, or inexpensive?

If anybody could recommend a specific pre-paid SIM carrier or has done this before, I'd really appreciate your insights.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubernetes:
I don't have any answers to your questions, but have you checked whether T-Mo will charge for incoming calls when roaming? I haven't done it in years, but when I was roaming in Asia a few years back the incoming calls weren't billed at all, so i just texted my wife to call me and all was good.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bckoolaid:
I saw an app on here and it's in the marketplace for sim unlocking on the phone without having to request the code from tmo..think it was simply called unlock vibrant. it's a 4 step process and worked for me no problems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phydoux:
It worked great!

Thanks to mmelo76 for moving my question - sorry for not getting it in the right place to begin with.

I wanted to follow up here and say that I went ahead and got my Vibrant unlocked via the market application "Galaxy_S Unlock" by Helroz.

I tested with an AT&T SIM from a friend's phone and verified that the unlock worked.

Then when I got to Switzerland (the Zurich airport), I found a Swisscom store in the adjacent train station shopping area. I bought an "Easy BeFree" SIM (http://www.swisscom.com/res/mobile/tarife/flat/easy-befree/index.htm) for 20 CHF, which also included 20 CHF of credit... so the SIM was basically free.

Popped it in to my phone and started it up and it worked immediately from the start. The only thing I had to do was re-enter my Google account password. I think the password might be encrypted against something in the SIM, so swapping the SIM forces you to re-enter it.

Anyway, I ran around Switzerland for a week and had data and voice coverage. If I were to go again, that's definitely the way to go.

Anyone know if it's possible to hack an HTC Evo so that it would work on Verizon (instead of Sprint)? I know that both Sprint and Verizon use CDMA, but my understanding is that they each use a slightly different flavor of CDMA. Is this something that could be modified in the ROM, or is it a difference in hardware?

SHELVES looks like a great app to keep inventory of DVDs, games, books, etc. - similar to Delicious Library for iPhone.

Unfortunately, Shelves doesn't work on my Streak (USA 2.2). When I scan a barcode to add a DVD movie, it says "Couldn't add movie. You might already have it". Needles to say, there are zero movies in my library.

However, the program works great with books - scan the code and it find the correct book and adds it to the shelf.

Am I missing something in the settings? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] over2land:
This sounded like an awesome idea to me when I saw this post.

I have about 500 DVDs in my collection and keeping them straight in my head has been a hassle for me for a couple of years now. This sounded like just the solution.

So, I put it on my Streak to test it. And, had the same exact issue you are seeing with it so far as my DVDs are concerned. Didn't even try the books. Only a hundred or two of them, and no problems remembering yet.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jbirney:
I get the same issues using DJ 1.7. Bummer looked like an interesting app.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ZodiacPhoto:
Solution...?

Unfortunately, the last update for Shelves killed the app for many handsets - found it on apps feedback om the Market.

I could not find where to get the older version of the app - is it possible at all?

However, I am using a different app now, PackRat, free on the Market.

Not as visually attractive as as Shelves would be, but it works great!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] over2land:
I'm in the same boat with many of you guys. Lots of DVDs and Shelves only returns the BS might already be in your library error for me as well.

On edit- I downloaded Packrat and it does take a long time to get results, but it does get results. However, out of 18 DVDs it couldn't find 3 of them (3:10 to Yuma, Adventureland, and Hot Tub Time Machine). Also, out of 12 books it couldn't find 2 of them. Google goggles was able to find all the ones that Packrat was missing. Between the speed and the fact that I have hundreds of books and DVDs to catalog, I'm not sure this will work for me. The miss percentage is too high. I tried putting one DVD in manually, but I see no way to add a picture and adding potentially 100 DVDs manually would take forever.

Second edit- I've now attempted to use packrat to scan 50 more DVDs. It was able to find 26 of them. Again, these aren't indie titles, but mainstream titles like the ones I mentioned above. And, again, Goggles was able to find them. I'm done with Packrat.and still searching for an alternative to Shelves.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stooooo:
Fairly new to android (me and linux go way back so I'm not completely in the dark), just bought a used rooted desire running Froyo. (S-ON for now). I have a couple of questions for people who know their ****:

First: Not being such a fan of HTCsense (Too many screens, for one), is there a way of removing it leaving me with the plain vanilla Froyo interface and not having to wipe and flash a new rom?

Second: From your experience which rom would you recommend? Oxygen looks rad, but still has a bunch of issues it seems. I want something which is #1 - Stable and supports all the hardware. #2 - light/stripped/I choose the stuff I want installed on my phone?

Am I right to lean towards vanilla froyo, as a good compromise at least?

Cheers

Stu
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
1) You can remove the HTCSense apk file and it will uninstall it. You won't be able to use any of the HTC widgets like. I do think you need S-Off to do this though.

2) The least buggiest I would say are CyanogenMod. Seems the most stable and bug free rom out there. Have had problems with other roms. Also MIUI-Au is a lovely rom to use. If you want, you can remove the system apps from custom roms before you flash it.

Hope this helps.

Had the same problem with my original (12/10 build) DVP. It's a hardware issue and you should have Dell replace your device. The new one I received does not power off when I open it quickly.

If your phone crashes for any reason (sliding it open and it powers off, WiFi freeze, etc.) it seems as if you lose the text. It's annoying as all hell.
