I was wondering if anyone knows of or has a version of ROM Manager "Clockwork" that has a themed recovery other than the plain black background and green fonts?
[Android Apps and Games] SkinBobUk:
You could try asking supercurio in the galaxy s forum section.

His voodoo kernel features a red and black recovery version.

[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
dude wat I just read your post without having to think about it... thank you for using correct grammar and legible sentence structure.

I don't think you would be able to really theme it, I know that (as said above) voodoo recovery is red but having different colors is quite helpful when troubleshooting. Its not like you're in cwm enough for it to be a big deal.
[Android Apps and Games] PMGRANDS:
@SageDieu, Lol...

Thanx for the Help guys!

Question, would the

"Voodoo Recovery" Work on my "Sprint Hero"?
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
I don't know anything specific about your phone, just check in the forums for it and see if you can find some sort of voodoo lagfix kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] CrazyKnight122:
I doubt it wOuld wOrk with your hero. I had an eris which is basically the same thing. And green was my only choice. But maybe you'll Find something. I didn't
[Android Apps and Games] PMGRANDS:
I kind of figured Clockwork was the Only App Recovery Option! If anyone happens to come across something lemme know Please! Thanx again guys!

Just realized I can't install apps to SD like angry birds or minisquadron. I figured I need to unmount SD and then load and it works.

Anyone know how I can fix this issue? I tried searching with no luck
[Streak 5 General] rptw:
are you getting error 18? if you are, i had the same problem today and i searched it on google. people said to delete the file smdl2tmp1.asec in the /sdcard/.android_secure/ directory. unfortunately for me, i didnt have the file so another solution suggeted what you did, unmount sd card, install/update app, mount sd and that worked for me
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Once you unmount, install, remount you can then move to SD.

[Streak 5 General] Krad:
i used to be able to load these items on first try without unmounting.

I think the issue lies with flashing so many roms in the fast few weeks. Going to 322 and back to 318 must have written something to my sd card.

when a new rom comes out, i will move my crap off my sd card, format and try again. That will probably fix it.

i have tried deleting android.secure, data on my external sd, no help.

i also don't have that file on my phone to delete.
[Fascinate General] Dewmgaze:
I was previously running a full stock phone, unrooted, with the OTA DL07 update. I flashed the stock DL30 rom leak, by flashing CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5 via odin, then applying update.zip (not the new one). Once in clockwork recover, I tried to apply the new_cwm.zip, but I got large zoomed in blue text that I couldn't read, and nothing really happened.

After a few reboots, I learned that I the DL09 I got OTA, somehow restores the recover, and I have to use odin every time before I plan on getting into clockwork. Anyways, I eventually just decided to ignore the new_cwm.zip, and just flash the DL30.zip via the old cwm. It worked, I ran DL30 for a few days, but today I wanted to wipe battery stats, but I can't get back into cwm.

I can't flash CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5 anymore, it fails, and then my phone won't boot, until I flash Stock-i500-VZW-Recovery.tar.md5, upon which I can boot my phone up normally.

So my question is, how can I get cwm back? And should I use the old update.zip I've been using, or should I replace it with the new_cwm.zip?
[Fascinate General] thefunkbot:
Download ROM Manager from the market, install cwm through it. Then reboot into recovery (do a nandroid backup), Wipe data, install DL30 rom, reboot, go back into cwm, flash the new_cwm.
[Fascinate General] kscheryl:
Ok .. I am not sure if this is the right area or not .. but I have been tring to install the DL30 onto my fascinate but it will go to a blue screen and when I choose update.zip it will tell me failed to

open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory?

Signature verification failed installation aborted .. any ideas how to make this work?

Thanks for you help in advance
[Fascinate General] thefunkbot:
download rom manager from the market and use it to install cwm
[Fascinate General] Dewmgaze:
Just tried, when I launched ROM Manager, it said Current was 2.5.0.4, Latest was 2.5.1.0. I clicked flash, it downloaded, and Current changed to 2.5.0.4. I clicked reboot into recovery, phone reboots, default recover comes up, starts to apply update.zip, and the signature fails.
[Fascinate General] kscheryl:
Same here ... even when I use rom manager with the CWM it is still coming up with the signature error. It is only going to the blue screen not the green screen but it is also not allowing me to install the update either. Help!
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
Dunno why so many folks are having issues...but make sure you have root and dj05 or dl09. Download rom manager and new_cwm. Flash recovery while selecting your phone in rom manager. Then reboot in recovery from rom manager install new dl30 and then new_cwm. If you cant reboot from rom manager, do it manually and select update.zip to get to cwm

Ps...make sure you never had voodoo or it is niw disablef...one of the two.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
That doesnt work to just do it through rom manager when your on dl09... your confusing people by telling them that. To get into cwr you have to flash it with odin, boot into stock recovery, do the update.zip, then boot into cwr. You cant let the phone boot into the os until you get to cwr and do all your flashing. Dl09 has something built in that makes it not work the way it used to. What you are saying is the original instructions for dl30, but have since been modified like i said... its somewhere in this forum,

[Fascinate General] Dewmgaze:
Right, the problem is that I'm already running DL30, and I can't flash the clockwork recovery for dl09/dj05 via odin, it fails and my phone won't boot until I flash the stock recovery via odin. Anything I try through rom manager simply fails the signature verification.
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
I have the exact same problem as OP, I tried to flash DL30.zip and the new_cwm.zip. DL30.zip flashed like a charm, but for some reason after i flashed new_cwm.zip, I'm not able to get into cwm at all, it just sends me to stock recovery.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
Heres the thing, whether your on dl09 or dl30 (which is still dl09) you cant let the phone reach the os between flashing cw and applying update.zip, and then booting into cwr. So the only way is to flash cw via odin, stock recovery update.zip, cwr. Another way would be to get back to dj05, this shouldnt have the built in recovery reset, and dl30 is compatible with it.

[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
What you are trying to say is if I flash the DL09 cwm via ODIN to my DL30, I would be able to get into cwm?
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
No... first of all you need the new cw that works with froyo if you plan on using it while on froyo, then you still have to follow the steps in my previous post because your still dl09. If you are on froyo why do you need cw right now?

Because after I flashed DL30 all my apps were still there, even though I strictly remember wiping my phone clean. Also I want to flash Blackhole 4.0.1 rom. I just want those apps gone because they seem to cause problems, apparently after wiping EVERYTHING is still there
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
You could just uninstall the apps through task manager... and then you need the new cwm to flash more roms, again follow the steps i previously posted to get to cwr

[Fascinate General] Dewmgaze:
That's what I tried to do before I even started this thread, as I said in my original post. The DL09 cwm will not flash via oden. It fails. And then my phone just shows a computer/phone icon, and refuses to boot.

I have to flash the stock recovery via odin to get my phone working again.

And the reason I need cwm if i'm already running DL30, is twofold. I'd like to switch roms, AND I need to wipe my battery stats.
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
Same here bro.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
Have you tried getting to dl09 via odin before flashing the dl09 cw? And once you get to dl30 you need the new cw to do anymore flashing while on froyo. try flashing stock dl09 (not di01) then flash dl09 cw, then stock recovery update zip, then flash dl30, then flash new cw, then reboot. Do one after the other without booting into the os at all. Once your on froyo you still wont be able to just hold the buttons and get to cw i dont think... you may have to do it the hard way like i just explained.

[Fascinate General] Dewmgaze:
Yeah that's what I was afraid I was gonna have to do. I was just gonna use odin to get me back to stock, then go from there. I haven't seen odin files for dl07, so I don't think that's an option. Do they exist, or do I have to use go all the way back to a full stock setup, and flash dl07 through cwm?
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
Its DL09 not DL07.
[Fascinate General] Dewmgaze:
I stand corrected. Anyways, does anyone know if, and where, there might be a link to a stock DL09 recovery odin file?

And a side question, I understand DL30 is still running on my DL09 baseband, but is it running on the same DL09 kernel too, or is it a new DL30 kernel? I'm assuming it's a new kernel, and that's why the odin fails when I try to flash the DL09 cwm?
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
Yeah, it's running on a DL30 kernel, that's why I've been deathly afraid to attempt ODIN.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
Sorry but you guys are losing me... dl09 Restore files are everywhere around here or you can google dl09.tar. And odin should work fine with froyo, it's that your trying to flash the old cw instead of the new one.

Hi everyone. sorry to start another thread (i'm not a fan of making more threads) but it said i couldn't comment without less than ten comments. anyways down to the point..

i have a MyTouch 3G and i'd like to flash it with the SparksMod located here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/22/sparksmod-rom/

the problem is, i don't think i'm finding the right .zip file for it. i got the zip file off of the site here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753893

this is the link of that file link: http://www.mediafire.com/?x019i1ow287dpb6

so i got that far, yes i already rooted my phone and stuff so i'm pretty sure i don't need to do anything else. but right now when i reboot with the above .zip file, i end up at the booting screen on my MyTouch 3G forever.

does anyone have any idea what's going on? it's been at the loading screen for about an hour now, i already tried redoing it all. this is what it looks like.. and has looked like for a while now. http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content...ytouch-3g-androi-phone-01-r3media-540x303.jpg

I tried flashing amon ra 1.7 on my 32a htc magic which is rooted using androot using terminal emulayor app.But now when I try to go to recovery pressing home and power I m stuck on a screen showing a phone and a triangle next to it with a !.

Anybody else facing this problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] larsn84:
it looks like you're back to the old days method...

I tried this on my Desire, and i needed to get "rooting tools"/"root-tools"

within this folder is several files. locate win-recovery.bat and click it.

This pushes you to the custom recovery menu

There's probably a command you can type in the command prompt of your computer, but Im a bit unsure if what it is... but its probably

fsatboot boot "recoveryimage.img" (recoveryimg being the name of the img-file)

you need sdk tools for that, and put the recovery image in the tools folder.

when in command prompt you need to be located in that tools folder to, as you write the commands
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
What you see is stock recovery.

You attempt to flash custom recovery did not succeed!

Try it once more...

Maybe follow my guide (check my signature) and do step 5/7 only.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
That is a fastboot command and not an "internal" command.

For this to work you have to be in fastboot mode!

That command will actually try too boot the recovery image and not to flash it!

It is also disallowed from all newer perfected spls.

The guy wants to flash the recovery using an terminal emulator and hence must use internal commands.

The "flash_image" binary combined with the right recovery image is what he have to use.

Never do the above unless you are sure that the bat file only does what you say it will.

It also for the Desire device which has a completely different layout and procedure.(Nand-lock and all that!)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shushunmire:
So I've checked through the forums quite a bit and I can't seem to come up with a really good way to stream movies or tv from my pc to my phone without the quality being absolute destroyed. (OrbCaster)

Is there any way of streaming from my PC to my phone without losing a ton of quality?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
VLC can do it, and there's apps in the Market to remote control the program on your computer.

'Course, if you try to go beyond streaming on your LAN (ie, over 3G), forget it. Quality's pretty much always going to be crap, because consumer uplink connections suck, as does 3G in general.

Its not the download in most cases its the upload. I have 2mbps at home as well and a slingbox and it plays great over WiFi and OK over 3G. Consider getting a Slingbox best 100 bucks I have spent on anything like that. Works great.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
Does anyone know of a remote control app that lets you control a Windows PC with your Nexus S that allows scrolling? I've used GMote since the G1 days, but without a scroll ball, there's no way to scroll. It's very frustrating.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
I'm with you that Gmote is showing its age, not surprising since it was last updated in October 2009. I've been with Gmote since the middle of last year when I got my first Android. I'm planning to switch to Unified Remote, but UR claims to be close to releasing a new version with a bunch of added features, so I've been waiting on that.

I believe the current version supports scrolling, too, though, so you might want to just jump right in if you're not happy with Gmote, which as far as I can tell is no longer in development.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
Wow. Thank you so much for the info. The multitouch scrolling in UR is exactly what I've been looking for, and it appears to already have a lot of other great features too. Thanks!

Yea am thinking about just rooting it,was gonna wait and see what updates Google was going to release, but I'm not very patient :)
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
2.4 should be out in couple months but i think next update we are getting just resolves issues when making phone calls. But yea CM7 nightly is very good i dont usually advertise what rom i like best but if you noticed i have it on my SIG...IMO its that good not to mention you get a rom update every night and no need to wipe after every update they just update over each other so very convenient :D

And you can always unroot and relock your boot loader if you have to return your phone for any reason Ive returned 2 phones with no problems.

Yes, I had it about three days and did not have any random reboot or lags. I'm on stock OS too. I just had one 3G disconnection but that's pretty much about it. I had to reboot and it was back to normal.

It's very smooth and I feel glad that I switched from WM 6.5! :D

Install the app "OS Monitor" from the Market and check if the "init" process is using a constant 100% cpu.

I have a problem. I went into a store to get a Simple Mobile plan for my HD2 but they lady told me that she did'nt recommend Simple Mobile for a smart phone because the internet doesnt always work on it.So insted she lies and tell me I can get TMobile Pre Paid with Unlimited eveything for $70 a month so i get that.

Do Simple Mobile data work with HD2 as long as i have the correct APN settings and is Simple Mobile data really unlimited and reliable on the HD2? Thank YOu

I have a t-mobile HD2 on simple mobile and everything works great. My HD2 is unlocked, so I cannot comment on weather it needs to be unlocked or not.

Be careful not to teather your phone or do wifi hotspots because simple mobile will kill your data. It is a violation of their terms and conditions. You get data for the phone not for your computer or any other device.
