[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigD603:
So I have created 2 nandroid backups, and a titanium backup, and now my SD card has no more room on it. I used SwifTP to copy the backups onto my computer. Just to be sure, so I dont F anything up: Is it ok to delete the OLD nandroid backup file? If so, can I do this just by selecting it in Astro, and hitting delete?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Yes, you can delete from Astro if you are 100% certain you are in the right file path, and have the correct file.

You can also delete it from within ROM Manager in the manage/restore backups section - long press what you want to delete, follow prompts.

Unrelated but useful:

A good practice is to every so often copy your SD card contents to your PC so you'll have them, just in case. Maybe every other week or something like that. Why? SD cards do & will fail, and when yours does, you'll have a semi-recent backup of the card.

A full or nearly full SD may make it wonky when you flash a ROM, so maybe consider taking some things off the SD if you can, so the flashing has room to stretch out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigD603:
The path is /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-01-....yada yada date and time of backup

Thanks for the advice about the full card, I didnt know that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hEaTLoE:
What I usually do since I still have the OEM card is just leave one backup in there and save the rest to my PC. I then delete them off the SD card to save room. If I ever need to go back to other backups, I can just pull it off my PC without having them all cluttering up my SD card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bomber889:
You can use rom manager to delete your unneeded backups also
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That's pretty much what I do. Then I looked in my Nandroid folder on my computer... it was 30+ GB! Figured I really only need the last few or so. Im always going through and cleaning out my SD card. Between all the roms and apps, lots of junk can be collected.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hEaTLoE:
Wow, only 9.25gb here!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanthemanofchicago:
+1 for using Rom Manager

This is the safest method, prevents you from accidentally deleting files from wrong directory. Plus, try to name your backups (NO SPACES!), it makes it all easier.

P.S: My Nandroid folder on my PC is 15GB, on my SD is 600MB (OEM 2GB Card)

hey guys, i have a htc desire running gingervillian, i have had bugs with the app drawer, it will go back up to the top at times and it annoys me when im looking for a app on the top. i am currently useing launcher pro plus 1.53 and im pretty sure it also effects the default launcher
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EngAziz:
I did download the update (Android ver. 2.2 ; Software # 1.83.415.4)

but can't install it (my DHD is rooted)

it crashed when restating the phone (in visionary+ I did the "unroot now" option)

Please Help

Have you done a factory reset?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris1317:
I believe you need to return your phone back to stock. Remove any modifications and restore any system apps that you may have removed. Reset S-Off back to default. You can use one of the HTC WWE updates to return the rom back to factory default but beware this will wipe all data. Have a search on the forum and you should find plenty of info on how to carry it out.

Im sure the update contents will be rolled into custom roms soon anyway so there really should not be the need to go through all this bother.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EngAziz:
two days I'm trying to find a way to update

my software is 1.32.405.6

and for two days I'm trying to find a way to update still nothing

(this is my first android phone)

and this what I did:

I finished from Titanium Backup

then ROM Manager and CWM Recovery (it took me some time to figure what is CWM , DHD is my first Android phone)

then backing-up the system and transfer it to my hard-drive

then updating using ROM Manager

when trying to update using ROM Manager and CWM Recovery

it restarted the phone to CWM and when trying to install it got an error and aborted the installation

********

so dose that means the the only way is to reset back to factory?

and how is it done??

will it take my ENG S-on to ENG S-off?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris1317:
There is a good guide here which talks through the process of rooting. It also discussed how to return to stock. You might find that you have problems with your backups if you return to stock. You need to be running as root to restore the backup with titanium. As far as I know there is no easy way to gain root with the latest update (Visionary no longer works). I had to go through the downgrade process to allow me root access.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537&highlight=stock

If you decide to keep root and wish to try a custom rom I would recomend that you follow through any bits on the above guide that you have not done yet and try Android Revolution. It has most of the HTC stuff included + some more improvements. It runs faster than stock also.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RJF1:
I have a upcoming event which I will need to be in constant communication with my peers, but a conference call would not suit the purpose, and I do not own a set of walkie talkies with enough of them. I have however, found a Push To Talk App that I like. There was no setup required, it just uses phone # and data connection /wifi. I tested it with one of my peers who will be at this event, and he had it installed and working in literally no time. However, this app simply sits in the foreground with some info about the "call" and a talk button. However, if you press the sleep button, the screen turns off and the phone locks while the "call" stays active.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a similar PTT app that allows use of a hardware button rather than an on screen talk button to a hardware button, for instance the camera button, or something like that so that it can be used with the phone in locked mode with screen off.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AndHD2:
I came off WP7 at the end of last week to try out some new Roms on Android. Before I had absolutely not trouble setting up my phone, I must have done it easy half dozen times in one day alone. over weekend I did a factory reset on my laptop so I downloaded the Windows Phone Development Tools and it installed without problem. I run through the setup as I had many times before, Chevron unlocked but when I tried to sideload the .xap tools needed it failed Toms and with Application Deployment I received this code:

"Receiving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {250BEABB-55E8-43BB-AC97-2D95674ECE14} failed due to the following error:

800 Class not registered (exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))."

I completely removed Windows Phone Development Tools, wiped not needed files, rebooted and reinstalled. I also reinstalled WP7 and tried from the beginning.

I am thinking that maybe Microsoft has put something in the Development tools which will prevent sideloading in WP7.

Is this an error on my part, any help appreciated.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Maxey:
don't know if this only happened to me,but suddenly my phone tells me for the twitter app that is has been revoked by Microsoft and that I should uninstall it.Did Microsoft somehow load kind of a new update on the phones through Zune? Or has it something to do with the upcoming Nodo?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] NFRCER:
The phone re-locks every two weeks if I'm not mistaken. Even when it does, it lets you have 3 apps sideloaded.

Just re-unlock with Chevron and you should be good to go. keep in mind that every time you connect the phone to the computer it will re-lock itself.

I think putting in airplane mode solves the re-locking issue for the mean time, but the forums have a more robust method to prevent it from happening in a long-term way.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
I found this very odd, and couldn't find answers to it...but everytime I send a text, I close out to my homescreen and when I go back to the message log, the last text I sent is back in the "input text" part saved as a draft...but the message has sent cause I receive replies back.

This happens EVERY time. I've tried hard reset, I've tried pulling the battery...nothin.

Anyone else experienced this?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
Yes, this also happens to me. It's not a bug. When you close out of the Messaging app too fast, it will save the message as draft but it will also send it if you pressed Send. This can get quite annoying sometimes since I'm used to closing out as soon as I send.

But it will not be a feature of this widget because i think that all the potential lulz will disappear :(

and also the name would be inappropriate

nice lol widget. can you do other memes for the miss call and stuff?
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan5222:
The choose of what application start when the widget is clicked is entirely a responsability of the Android system.

You must go to the preferences of Android then go to Applications and clear the default choice.

This is huge idea. I can't use it on my minimalist theme right now, but I'll keep an eye on this thread to see where it goes, maybe more icon options/more versatile icons.

do i need root for clearing default? it doesn´t work on my phone
[Android Apps and Games] Skiddywinks:
I hate to be the noob of the thread, but I can't actually get the widget anywhere. It is installed (from Market), and I was expecting for it to either appear in my apps list as usual (long press it and put it on my home screen), or appear in my Android widgets (when I long press an empty space on the homescreen), but it is in neither.

What am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan5222:
If it's an attempt to troll me, you're authorized to say LOL I TROL U :D

If you're serious, you must do a long press in the home screen, in an empty space and a menu will appear, now you must select the widget item and the Forever Alone SMS Widget. :)
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
After reading this thread I spent about three hours last night familiarizing myself with forever alone guy and co., crying with laughter like a lunatic.

Bless you all :D

Terrific idea and great job :)

(working perfectly fine)
[Android Apps and Games] Ambious:
You could say that about the original app as well, there's no reason to patronize.
[Android Apps and Games] Skiddywinks:
I wish I was trolling -_-

The long press gets me the "Add to homescreen" menu, where I can choose either an Orange widget, Android widget, Shortcut or wallpaper. In neither of the widget options does Forever Alone guy show up, and he obviously isn't in wallpapers. I checked shortcuts just in case, but no joy.

I'm on a SGS with Orange.
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan5222:
maybe your custom ROM have locked this possibility to add customized widget? :confused:

i haven't yet experienced this thing.

Anyone?

Did you ever tried to install another widget from the market?
[Android Apps and Games] knifer:
haha he should do that and not tell anyone...that would be trolling us all
[Android Apps and Games] Skiddywinks:
Interesting. Hadn't thought about ROM interference. I'm using hardcore's Speedmod.

Having said that, I am still allowed to use the Wapedia and Facebook widgets, so I don't think it is a widget-wide problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan5222:
:confused: the fact is that the widget it's pretty standard... and i don't know what it may be..
[Android Apps and Games] wcalvert:
This. Is. FANTASTIC. Wonderful lulz
[Android Apps and Games] Julencijus:
I had similar problem, when i can't get any widgets after isntaling them, the solution was is to move ne app/widget apk to internal memory, for me, was everything what i install, goes to sd card, due to, widgets were not showing in 'long press -> widgets'. Moved apk (app/widget) into internal memory solved the problem. Hope it will help you too. :)
[Android Apps and Games] flomexico:
Facepalm. But seriously, I still can't get the option for handcent. All defaults clear, uninstall, reinstall. Everything I can think of.
[Android Apps and Games] kabukistyle:
i also had problems using GoSMS instead of default app. I used the Deactivate function in TitaniumBackup for the default SMS app and suddenly GoSMS was used. No selection screen though. You probably need root for that.

Edit: That also seems to deactivate the overall SMS functionality, so don't do that.....
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan5222:
selection screen isn't a root functionality, it's a way that Android system handle the request of showing inbox...

if you have multiple programs, Android display multiple choices
[Android Apps and Games] kabukistyle:
yes, i get the selection screen from e.g. the contacts app, but not when using the widget. could it be a problem that i only have the htc messaging app (plus gosms and handcent) but not the android default one?

edit: oh, and to clarify, i meant you may need root to use the deactivate function in titaniumbackup.
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan5222:
sorry i've read wrong, i've thinked that you meant the choice menu.
[Android Apps and Games] kabukistyle:
edit: see below for fixing the selection screen

just a quick thought: as some people have problems getting their real sms application to work, is it possible to implement a setting that any application can be selected from the application menu and called when selecting the widget?
[Android Apps and Games] kabukistyle:
The HTC messaging app really seems to be the problem!

I restored the Google one following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846231

Afterwards the selections screen appears when using the widget and everything is swell.... forever alone, finally! :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan5222:
HTC Customization must be really invasive :mad: because i launched the sms app in the simplest way. :confused:

Now i'm even more happy of my non-sense cyanogenmod :D
[Android Apps and Games] haelmchen:
so it´s impossible to use it with htc sense?

damn =/
[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
you think you can implement one for missed calls too :D ?!
[Android Apps and Games] kabukistyle:
It is possible with Sense, I use it that way. But I guess to remove the HTC message app and put the default one back in you need root. So far everything works like a charm.

Use the latest LeeDroid for Desire btw.
[Android Apps and Games] Ambious:
Any news on a missed calls 'fuuuuu' widget?
[Android Apps and Games] wesleyshark22:
This is fantastic. Works great on my Dell Streak, and opens right up into my Chomp SMS. Many internetz to you sir!

it's all ok except graphic.. I hope to have it in few days

i have also other widgets as you can see. And biggers version

but all have the same test graphic with the forever alone. My friend will do others graphic when he has time.
