Geeze, tried to reply a while ago and the page had no post reply buttons...

Anyways, what I am scared of *unlikely* is a bootloop. I know you can use ADB i just don't know how to access in a way I can flash if it's bootlooping and I can't just open the recovery easily.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Yes, you can navigate recovery with the trackball. Like you say, the biggest problem is getting into recovery if you can't boot...

If the "fit hits the shan", you can always unlock the bootloader, and flash images with fastboot...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
hrm, I've done some fast boot on my G2 but I just did a reboot fastboot so I'm not sure how that works haha. I'll look into that if it ever arises but I doubt I'll encounter a boot loop. He was saying he doesn't think the Recovery will trackball navigate, but he has a Vibrant with no trackball so he's not used to it lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Trackball navigation is in both Amon_Ra and Clockwork, so it's not a problem.

Getting into recovery w/o power button and w/o fastboot is tricky, if your ROM bootloops - if you don't have USB debugging enabled, you might be out of options.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
Always on by Default for me :) lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
I had this exact problem on my old N1, here's how I was always prepared for bootloops should they happen: Link. An alternative way is to use PASSIMG method as this will wipe and flash a stock ROM which you can then adb reboot recovery to restore your nand backup. Either of these ways, although not the quickest, will guarantee that you can get back to recovery.

Oo awesome :) Exactly the kind of info I couldn't find in a search lol. *Bookmark* :D

Hello,

It happens.

I brick my phone x10 mini and its now stuck in sony ericson white written name.

It happens cause i Unluckyli i press "customize" button in x10flasher.

Can i reflash throght x10 flasher?

Any aid?

Tnx in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Sol.

Dude jst re-flash again with Bin4ry Flash.....and this problem will no longer exists.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Termodonte:
Or eventually, use SEUS/Companion repair method. Remember, when u turn off the phone (home button + power on button pressed), insert usb cable and keep the back button pressed for a while (2-3 min) until green led turns on.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pedrocel85:
The main problem was because you cannot take off batery.

I waited 7 hours with the stucked screem, than turn on charge, it boots up in chargemon.

From there, bin4ry worked very nice.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] red12:
man that wasn't necessary......in the back of the cell there is a little rubber cover you only take it out and you will see a socket a 3 wires, you just have to unplug it with a clip or somthing else and then pu**** to place it, and "ta da" you have taken out and placed the battery.......thats how i've recovered mi x10 mini bricked and it only take it to repair 10 min as max.....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] livedtrid:
Holding power and home button for 3 seconds also restarts the phone when it stuck on son ericsson screen
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ebuddyxx0:
i did that and now it cannot turn on after numerous attempts
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] balablr:
i cant find that rubber cover

there is a orange thing whcih can be pushed,but i cant find any wires....plssssssss can u help me out with more details and if possible with some picturessssssssss

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamplighter13:
Hello all- Does anyone know if there is a way we can use flash (.swf) wallpapers on our homescreen on the I9000 ?

I do not mean the lockscreen but the next screen (I use no lock anyway).

If we can use live wallpapers such as WP clock which tell time, I imagine there must be a conversion tool which can convert .swf files into whichever file live wallpapers are ??

Does anyone know ?

I do have some amazing flash wallpapers which contain some gorgeous clocks and it's a shame if we cant use them on this great mobile.

Cheers, LL-
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boulbos:
Not so sure....

Trying to open a swf file, I get a pop-up telling that "File type swf not found"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsamurai:
highly doubt so, live wallpaper is an .apk, it's an application itself, natively Android doesn't support .swf file as live wallpaper, unless some developer out there manage to capture the swf, convert it and create a new .apk on the fly within the mobile, but I didn't see such an application so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamplighter13:
OK Cheers for that guys.

I managed to open an .swf file in "my files" and it shows up but the clock portion of the wallpaper does not keep time, just a mish mash of lines instead of the time itself.

Cheers again, LL13-
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12MaNy:
Ok, I'm having some serious effin' problems. I was running MIUI 1.1.28 and earlier I was having issues with device not syncing, but got that taken care of with a full wipe and fresh install. Then, after that my Google accounts wouldn't sync...WTF! I just ended up saying "F*ck it" and booted into recovery so I could restore my MIUI 1.14 backup. I used Calkulin's format all zip first ...

Now....my Evo is f*cking bricked! All system data has been wiped (no ROM installed) so I'm stuck in Bootloader or recovery and Nandroid backup refuses to restore anything. I keep getting "Error: run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!"

I tried:

adb shell
mount /sdcard
cd /sdcard
cd nandroid
ls
cd HT**********
ls
cd BCD***-********-****
nandroid-mobile.sh restore

...but my Evo has less than 30% power.

HELP!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sminker:
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12MaNy:
I tried putting a ROM on SD card, then flashing, but recovery isn't reading it for some reason.....maybe I'll try re-mounting SDCard via recovery and see if that works...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Charge your battery for a couple of hours and try again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
Thought it always had to be mounted for it to read off of it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sminker:
I would recharge for a while then take your SD card out then put it back in. Had to do that to mine one time when I couldn't get it to mount in recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12MaNy:
Re-mount is what I meant...

I'll try that and report back...thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWicked1:
I had this happen once to fix it I mounted to my pc copied everything over to a folder then un-mounted and reformatted the sd card then copied everything back and then all was good.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12MaNy:
Ok, I did finally get my device to charge and I restored backup via adb shell. I think my recovery image must have become corrupted somehow. Weird...

Thanks again EndlessDissent. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12MaNy:
Man....I'm glad I didn't have to do all that ^. Lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Don't worry, the only reason I suggested that was because I've gotten scared ****less by the same thing before!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 12MaNy:

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] MSHancock:
Running stock DL30 rooted. No changes.

I pulled my stock framework-res.apk and made some changes to pic files only. I got everything back into the apk file and put it back into the System/framework folder. I guess I am missing something because none of the changes are showing. I changed the notification drop down to clear black. I pulled out what I liked from one file and put it in mine. It did ask to replace everything I did and I said yes. Do I need to maybe put it in a zip and install it from CW or install some other way?

I was hopeing I could pick up some of these little changes people are wanting so the big boys can focus on what is important.

Thanks

[Android Software Development] protozeloz:
Hello to all XDA developers and chefs

Before giving this idea i would like to introduce myself I'm a new programing student interested in the Java programing language, also interested in mobile programing. I've already tried searching for this idea and as far as my research went there has been none like this.

Here it goes

-Everyone know how much of a pain it is for several people to use the skinned versions of android on their phone (blur, sense, other), we all would like to get more stock android from our companies but it seems to become a unreachable dream. now many have said that they must find an workaround for this, yet no idea seems to become a reality....

now my idea consist in having to android packages on every phone from stock one package that will be installed for default and another package that the user may choose to install, the default package will come with a skin while the optional package will contain stock android, now the way to manage this two is via an application from witch the user by running it will decide to have stock rom or skinned.

Now this is the way I think this should work

-User opens the app

-App pops a warning to the user telling him its phone will be fully reseted

-The user accepts the consequences

-The app turns the phone into a recovery mode with a selection for witch package to recover from (for example return a #1 indicating that the user wants skins on his phone will install the package with the skin or a #2 to run a package with no skins at all)

why am I asking help from XDA? because of two things

-I currently don't know that much about programing

-I think XDA would be the best site for the idea to grow and become something significant

what are my plans with this idea? I'm currently writing an open letter to Google and the manufacturers to bring many options to the OS. I thought i would be a great idea not only to deliver this letter but to give the materials they could work on...

do I get anything if I help with developing such an idea?

I currently have no plans on taking credit or any remuneration of any kind from this "project" but I would clearly name those who made this idea possible, now if "bounties" where to come from this then you may earn them...

what are you asking me to do?

-Brainstorming, I would like to see how this idea gets refined.

-Development, when the idea is complete having many attempts to get the idea to work would be great.

-Testing and feedback, help the idea to work on as many devices as possible

-Support, when the protect gets completed i would like everyone to spread the voice. if its a great idea then it should be heard.

Thanks for your Time.

[Android Software Development] K Dotty:
Cyanogen mod is basically stock android with a few mods and tweaks. If doesn't have all of the bloatware that skinned manufacturer roms have so its alot faster and I think stock android looks better than sense, etc.... Its been compiled for a wide range of phones.
[Android Software Development] protozeloz:
I know about the cynamogen mod :D have it on my pone,where I'm trying to go with this idea is that there might be other methods for the companies to deliver stuff to the end user and the dev. many know that for example with blur the phone does not work the same when it as blur removed, thats because the 'blur' its being integrated a lot with the OS and in some cases seems to be a pain to remove...
[Android Software Development] momentarylapseofreason:
So basically, you have no programming experience and I would hope that English isn't your native language.

Your best bet for now would be to sit back and watch those ahead of you and ask questions as needed.
[Android Software Development] guitargler:
I think he's suggesting that any code that came about from this would get pushed into stock and hopefully integrated by Google. Manufacturers wouldn't tamper with it; rather, they would make their custom skinned Android (so HTC Sense, or Samsung Touchwiz, or MotoBlur/NinjaBlur) be separate. Phones would require more system space to accommodate for the backups, but it wouldn't have to be astronomical, as only the parts of the system that the skin makers actually modified would be in those recovery partitions. So then the recovery utility launched by the included app would pull all of the packages from whichever partition (recovery_SENSE, for example, or recovery_VANILLA for stock) and push them into /system. So the phone's system would have three total partitions: /system, which would be mounted by the phone during normal boots, /recovery_[whatever_skin], which would hold the manufacturers version of anything they skinned, including apps, frameworks, anything they added, etc, and /recovery_VANILLA, which would only hold the stock versions of anything in the /recovery_[whatever_skin] partition, plus anything the manufacturers took out.

Furthermore, if the partitions are all made big enough, they could future-proof phones. recovery partitions would hold the entire system, skin (or lack of skin) and all, then Google would be made responsible for pushing out the updates to the /recovery_VANILLA partition, keeping all phones up to date. People who ACTUALLY want to sacrifice features for the skin and possible other features could do so. And because everything is backed up to your Google account, there'd be no problems. Everything would get synced at first, but after that you'd be smooth as butter.

I think if this was implemented, and Google told manufacturers they had to do this, it would do a whole lot in the way of moving us away from skins. I think as Google updates are pushed out and manufacturers are updating far less frequently, more and more people will switch to their stock partitions, and, through ad information, manufacturers would realize the skins are wack.
[Android Software Development] protozeloz:
I actually don't mind if someone takes this and makes something out of it... I don't even want the credit, but I as well will be working and reading as much as I can to get something working, I know this may be hard or complicated but if I see this being implemented and people enjoying it I'll be happy

Indeed thats what I'm thinking... I don't think space should be much of a problem, especially on hight end phones.

When I posted this my fist idea was to give someone an idea I don't mind how you implemented or who you decide to work with (I'll probably just slow you down anyways)
[Android Software Development] elegos:
Basically stock? AHAHAH

It's all but stock... so many changes, have you ever run a stock Gingerbread or even FroYo recently? Way faster than CM. The truth is that ATM CM is just a candy ROM ATM with large phone models support.

I'd really like to see a stock rom for older devices - here is where CM is proud of. But it's not stock.

As of the application support, you may use my ROM Updater ( http://www.elegosproject.org/android-rom-updater ) to setup repositories of stock ROMs (and in a near future extra downloads like kernels, themes and so on).

Samsung/sprint release the source code needed and then our developers make the kernels but samsung hasn't released froyo/source yet thats why there are no kernels available on 2.2 right now

[Captivate General] GTIVRon:
Okay. I finally deleted all the people I don't talk to anymore from my contacts and SIM, and cleaned up by putting e-mail addresses in the contact info etc, and now want to sync that with my Gmail. Why doesn't these changes reflect on my Gmail account? I still have no contacts according to gmail, it just has an area that it has every e-mail address I have had an e-mail from or too.

The part that's frustrating is on my phone, when I go to compose a new text msg, and click contacts, I have to go through hundreds of useless e-mail addresses etc, still have 5 different names for some people that use multiple e-mail address and numbers, and a ton of "unknown" entries. I can't find a way to delete all of this other crap.

Has anybody successfully and cleanly synced all of their contacts?

Or is there a way to make it so when I hit the "contacts" button while composing a text msg, it only shows the phone numbers I have saved to the phone under contacts?

Theres too many areas called "contacts" that are completely unrelated to eachother. I wish google would wise up.

Thanks for any help!
[Captivate General] FrozenComa:
When you make a new contact you get options to save to your phone, Google account, or sim card. You have to have them saved to Google or else they won't sync. I'd suggest opening Gmail on a computer and inputting them there.
[Captivate General] GTIVRon:
So ALL of the work I did on the was a complete waste of time, and I have to go and indivudually put each and every name/number/email address into my Gmail contacts? Okay thats just retarded.

Next question, how do I get all of those "contacts" deleted from my phone. I really dont want to look at 500+ email address of companies/spam/notifications when I just want to look through my contacts to add to a text message.
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
In contacts, go into display options and check the box that says only contacts with phone numbers
[Captivate General] GTIVRon:
Yea that helps when I go into contacts. My problem is that when you go into compose new text msg, then want to add a list of people and you click contacts, it lists the 500+ e-mail address I may have emailed out before, as well as up to 5 seperate entries for people with the same name, and doesn't show if it is for one of their e-mail addresses or one of their phone numbers.

This contacts sync thing is just outright stupid.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Solution I found for this do a factory wipe. Then when phone reboots add an exchange account. Use your google login info. Choose manual setup. Under server put m.google.com tell it to sync contacts. You must first make sure to configure google contacts to only sync groups you want. Do this within gmail on your computer. When you then add your google account uncheck sync contacts.
[Captivate General] sircaper:
You don't have to delete anything! You can export your contacts on your phone to a vcf file.

contacts > import/export > export to sd card

Once you have the vcf file, you can e-mail it to your gmail account, then download the file to your pc. Next, import it to your gmail account. Let me know if that works.
[Captivate General] drwx:
go into your gmail contacts on a computer...create a new group called "My Contacts". copy all of the contacts to there that you actually want to see. within your phone contacts setting, set it to only sync that contacts group from gmail.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
except Samsung left that option out of the SGS firmwares
[Captivate General] drwx:
on eclair, yes... on froyo, no.

the workaround in eclair is to set up a second gmail account, then use a service like soocial.com. in your real gmail account, set up the my contacts list. set up soocial to sync the "my contacts" list with the entire list on the 2nd account. then, on your android phone, don't sync contacts from the primary gmail.. only sync contacts from the 2nd gmail account.
[Captivate General] DakotaGypsy:
I have a (probably) related problem. When I entered a new contact in 2.1 I was given the option to choose saving to phone, google, or sim card. Now that I have updated to the official Froyo version, I never get this option. It just saves to my phone. This is a serious problem. Is this just my phone or are others having this problem?

thanks.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I NEVER save to the sim card because it does not use the same format I use in Outlook and it will split a contact with more than 1 phone number into several contacts.
