[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I assume by limited edition you mean the google employee one which has the androids on the back cover. I've seen them on ebay for sometimes up to $800 but in my opinion that is a rather silly price to pay for a special back cover that will barely be visible. However, $520 is actually a little cheaper than buying the phone off contract (note that all Nexus S phones come unlocked but are locked to Tmobile in that they do not support ATT 3G bands).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bspence415:
I lucked up and got my limited edition for 350 brand new never used on Craigslist and there is absolutely nothing special or different hardware wise or software but the back plate is nice but to answer you I would pay 520 for it tho if brand new

what should i do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Do nand restore, because you definitely made that. :)

If not, just go to custom recovery go in Mounts and make sure that /system and /sdcard are mounted

install Android SDK, make update (make sure, that you select adb tool to install).

Click on Start, run cmd and go to <SDK>/platform-tools/. Than write in cmd:

[B]adb shell[/B]
[I]//if you have original look[/I]
[B]cp /sdcard/void/resources/dv/framework-res.apk /system/framework/[/B]
[I]//if you have gigngerbread look[/I]
[B]cp /sdcard/void/resources/gb/framework-res.apk /system/framework/[/B]
[B]reboot[/B]

Phone will than will be restarted and bootup correctly.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dartfira:
If I tries only

$ cp /sdcard/void/resources/dv/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

cp: can't stat '/sdcard/void/resources/dv/framework-res.apk': Permission denied

When i tries to do SU in adb shell it says

[1] Segmentation fault su

Thanks for your answer
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Are you have sdcard and system mounted? I'm not sure just now because I can't check it, but I thing that you haven't mounted sdcard. Check if in mount menu is on both sdcard and system written "mounted"

It's normal becouse you are already sudo.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dartfira:
My Mount section

- Mount /system

- Mount /cache

- Mount /data

- Mount /sd-ext

- Mount /sdcard

So i've all mount?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Well, if you have

- Mount /system

then it is umounted. If you have

- Unmount /system

then it is mounted.

So you should see:

- unmount /system

- whatever

- whatever

- whatever

- unmount /sdcard

then it should work...

Ok it works thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlier1977:
I know that the Android ID helps you get access to the Market but what else does it do?

I have installed di11is5.6OC and Android ID Changer and I also have my original settings.db file from stock. The ID that shows in Android ID Changer and the one that shows in my original settings.db are very different. I was curious as to what the differences are.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Purpose #1 Tracking you... Apps stats or some app dev use it to identify user to the prog or games.

The android id change on every phone reset so it's not something of high interest. The only problem is some rom used the same android id for every user and this was queueing the downloads since the market saw all the request from the same id.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyZee:
The ID is set by Google and created when a user first boots up the device. It remains the same unless the user does a “factory reset” of the phone, which deletes the phone’s data and settings.:D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
The rom uses a script to assign one randomly most likely and the one in your backup is probably correct. Flashing back to stock will also allow you to use the id changer app to "save" id on your internal sd so that you can "change" it after flashing froyo. Or you can type your correct id in the box to change it back.

Without the random id script we were all being assigned the same id. Personally I don't bother correcting mine but for some it is an issue.

Some games rely on your id to track progress, etc. I know storm was one that people have mentioned in the past.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lotok:
I have tried many other ROMS in the last few days but none as nice as oxygen. My only gripe was at first the apps2sd but I eventually got it working fast with data2wherever and the life-on-the-edge script.

Very happy indeed with my phone speed, out performing the new google phone on the benchmark app :)

However, I have noticed that every now and then (about 5 times in the last 8 hours) the phone reboots itself. My main concern is because I am running the life-on-the-edge script I am risking corruption.

SD card is Class4 Kingston, 1gb ext4 partition & 14.x GB Fat32

I have Oxygen 1.0.4

Data2Wherever 0.4d

Life-on-the-edge script.

has anyone else experienced this?

Many Thanks

Hi all,

I know there are a few threads running all ready with regards to splash images. But I just created my first custom image and wanted to share.

I take no credit for the image I just resized and converted in to .img file

Here is tutorial I used to create the splash image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753788

I didn't create a flashable zip though, I flashed through fastboot, unzip file to file where fastboot is located, open command window and type -

fastboot flash splahs1 /insert/path/to/nameofsplash.img
fastboot reboot

The usual disclaimers apply, flash at your own risk and I accept no responsibility if you break your phone.

I was also thinking that maybe we could use this as a thread where all members can post there custom splash images.

Heres a quicker solution.

Go to the Developers forum in this X10 section and download the flash tool 0.2.6 from there.

Unzip it and go into it's unzip folder run X10FlashTool.exe and with your X10 connected to your PC. Press the "Root" button.

Then download busybox from market and Titanium backup.

Xrecovery is a good thing to install too but I think you have to get the apk file from here if I recall.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3idcardwell:
I used the FlashTool to upgrade to Generic 2.1.A.0.435 a couple days ago, so I know that works. First go to [TOOL] [NEW 01/02/2011] Flashtool version 0.2.6 and grab the rom you want. I got my AT&T-branded Xperia X10 from Best Buy on Thursday and Sunday I upgraded to the Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.1.A.0.435 found on this page.

Then go to [FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies for a VERY straight-forward how-to on it. For whatever reason the FlashTool would not root my phone after the update, so I used ShortFuse 1.5. I was then able to do the rest of the steps in the FLASHTOOL GUIDE.

I can tell you that my experience has been very positive. The phone is much more responsive and battery life is incredible compared to the couple of days I had 1.6.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickp3:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
you can have as many backups as you like... just make sure you remember when as it names them by date and time.

It stores them on your sd card, it creates a folder called xrecovery, and within that a folder called backup. There you will find all of your backups.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
In response to your last question, it will go back to EXACTLY what it was like when you made the xrec backup. It is an exact mirror image of what your phone is like at that time, settings, apps, everything..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caifanX10:

Xrecovery is magic, it restores your entire phone, data, settinge, contacts, all user info. as it was when you did the back up.

**Please hit thanks if someone helps you in anyway**
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
nooooo don't listen to them! If the roms have different basebands and don't support other basebands, you can't just change back and forth, you will have to use flashtool to flash the baseband back ( for example if you were using freex10 beta 4 with baseband .54, and gingerbread with .46).

Xrecovery CANNOT change a baseband, only the rom itself. Some roms require certain basebands in order to work as well.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloud_:
Agreed.

1. Backup would be recovered but only compatible apps will work.

2. You update baseband using flash tool. xRecovery can't flash the baseband. Also for e.g. if you flash 2.2 firmware on 2.1.54 then its being reported that ppl can't switch back to 2.1 stock firmware

I'm only sharing this to give those with intermittent 3G data to improve theirs as well since I had such good success with it. I know it's strange, and if you don't have any issues with your 3G signal quality than there is no purpose in trying this.

To those of you who have done the hardware GPS fix, this is very similar.

There is another metal tab on the opposite side of the phone, it looks exactly like the one you bend up for the GPS fix.

I was having very spotty and slow 3G covereage, so was my fiance. It would just hang when trying to load websites or using the XDA app. The download arrow would take FOREVER before finally lighting up and going somewhere.

So I opened the phones and bent up that other metal tab, assuming it is the antenna for the phone. I have found out, apparently, it is the WiFi contact. But strangely enough, this has had a huge impact on my 3G consistency.

DarkSandz93 said he noticed two more tabs near the bottom of the phone. You might also bend those a bit to make a better contact. I don't have any pictures of them but With some looking you should find them. I can confirm this fix works without bending the ones on the bottom, but it Wouldn't hurt to try as it will only improve the weak contacts.

When I put the phone back together me and my Fiance's phone both have great consistent 3G and reception went up a bar or two.

I've been testing this for two days and it has definitely helped!

***PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN BENDING UP THE TAB, IT MAY BE FRAGILE*** Take it slow, Its almost flat when you start but you need to bend it up a bit to make a good contact with the antenna.

I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone.

Thank you AndroidMonkey for the pic.

Labeled is both the GPS on the left and the Antenna on the right. The one on the right in the one I bent up slightly to improve the contact and get better signal.

Here is a video of my phone browsing AFTER the mod was performed. Before I could barely surf at all, it would take around 5 minutes to load ANY web page. The download arrow would hardly ever light up. These pages are not cached and are using my 3G connection.

[YOUTUBE]aMWUPTb8vlc[/YOUTUBE]

I just want to clarify this fix did not improve my actual download speed (kb/s), but made my connection more reliable and steady. Fixed the hanging and having to reload constantly to try and get a connection.

Also, thank you Plato56, who came up with the original Hardware GPS Fix. I would not have ever tried this if it wasn't for KWKSLVR's thread.
