From what I understand there has been success in running market 2.2.6 on froyo and on CM6.1. I had some issues at first with force closing but I think everything has been smoothed out by now. I'd recommend a nandroid first but I also don't think there's much chance of trashing your ROM as with flashing other things. Good luck, and tell us how it goes :)

I was wondering if any of you rpgers knew of any decent text or 2d based games that could be played on our phone. I'm looking for something where I can log in make a few move and log out.

overall any suggestions are welcome.

[Droid X General] iRMac:
I've spent a few months on this forum and would like to give back...thus I am creating a guide on how to completely wipe your Droid X in order to start 100% fresh.

Disclaimer: I hold no responsibility if anything happens to your phone. Anything you do is your choice, not mine.

This Guide is mainly meant for ROOTED Droid X's.

First step is to follow this guide: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/254605-update-2-3-340-easily.html#post2241194

After rerooting, turn on the phone, plug it in, and copy your SD Card to your computer desktop. Unplug the phone from the computer and Bootstrap Recovery.

In the Bootstrap Recovery, scroll to Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Confirm.

Scroll Back and click mounts and storage, for anything that has a mount in front of it, click it and click confirm.

Navigate back to main menu and then to advanced. Scroll down to advanced and select Wipe Battery Stats and Wipe Dalvich Cache.

Reboot and plug in your phone to computer.

Copy anything important back to your SD Card (launcher backups, photos, music, clockwordmod, etc.)

Boot back into Bootstrap Recovery and wipe data/factory reset once again, and then mount cache and data again, and then wipe Dalvich Cache Again.

Next, flash a custom Rom by "install .zip from SD)

You should now have a fresh phone and fresh SD Card(SD cards are known to cause problems sometimes such and freezing/locking up so this is a good way to start over.)

If I left anything out or made any mistakes please correct me.
[Droid X General] Sunblood:
Um

Thanks?

I feel like this would be common knowledge for anyone browsing the Development forum and trying out custom ROMs.

Nice writeup for the ubernewbs though.

EDIT: You reposted this from another forum and didn't even make the hyperlink to update to 2.3.340, so this guide is almost useless.

http://androidforums.com/droid-x-tips-tricks/272219-how-make-your-droid-x-freshhh.html
[Droid X General] iRMac:
I see people ask about how to start over again all the time, and honestly I doubt many people know about clearing everything, most people just know about clearing the cache an data.

Thanks for the snarky comment :P

EDIT: No I fixed that already.
[Droid X General] davidukfl:
there's no mention of formatting the SD card in your write up, so there'd really be no need to back it up. And the SD card doesn't get touched when formatting data everything stays on there still so when the market starts reinstalling apps the app data is still available from the SD card

although i still recommend backing up your SD card every now and again, just in case of emergency
[Droid X General] kdkinc:
+1 on the periodic backup of the SD card.

SD cards do fail!!

The main cause is shifting gears too fast (going from PC to Mass Storage),give it 8 seconds and pulling the USB cord.
[Droid X General] iRMac:
When I say, scroll down and click everything with mount in front of it, SD Card is included and your SD gets reformatted.
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
I think it'd be faster to flash the maderstcok 2.3.340 update zip. It is essentailly an SBF run through cwm. It will truly get you started from scratch.
[Droid X General] mcp770:
Yea, if its an elected return to stock maderstock340.zip is a much simpler option. Also sd card backup is essential for anyone with music, files, photos they want to keep. I burned up one card already due to a faulty card and lost the contents. I will also add several roms now add folders to the sd card so it really isn't bad practice to delete those folders or wipe the card.

+1 also that YES, tons of people put roms on every day without the proper knowledge of how to revert to stock via sbf or update.zip. So I think this should be a sticky personally.
[Droid X General] branshaw09:
Agreed! Maderstock is the way to go for getting back to stock! Easy flash and you're fresh and clean!
[Droid X General] iRMac:
This guide includes the maderstock guide...thanks to the one guy who supported me. This covers full SBF with maderstock as well as SD card.
[HTC Aria General] nikolo98:
Hello all,

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem.

First of all, better to mention what my Aria is running on:

Stock ROM unrooted. Updated to Froyo from HTC via FOTA. I'm not located in the US therefore my phone isn't under AT&T which many here are. My ROM is strictly

HTC's Asia's ROM

.

Now I don't have much in a way of problems with my phone, its just odd to me that every once in a while (around once every week or so) I need to reboot my phone. This is because for some strange reason, my phone won't connect to the data network (3G) or it shows that it is connected but no data activity (even after I've instructed the phone to sync all information, i.e. weather, emails, etc). I've tried switching on/off the data network connection and also have tried switching between airplane modes on/off (in hopes to reset something) but nothing works.

I'm not sure if this is an inherent problem to the Aria's 2.2 update or if there is something wrong with my carrier, however the problem is ALWAYS FIXED right after a fresh reboot.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
[HTC Aria General] thinkhope:
*#*#4636#*#*

Phone information. Set preferred network.

Try switching between the different options.
[HTC Aria General] nikolo98:
Thanks for the hint thinkhope. I'll try your suggestion. May I ask what you think the problem may be?

Update: I tried it for a couple of days and I still get the same problem. I tried switching between preferred networks but the problem persists. Quick reboot and once again, fixed.
[HTC Aria General] jimbok:
I also have this same problem, stock/custom ROM no matter which ROM the problem is still there, up to a point that made me wanna smash my phone on the ground. I tried to use my SIM card on my wife's SGS and seems like no such problems faced. Is this a common problem for HTC phones?

[EVO Shift 4G General] zanderman112:
My lil brother wants to get an evo shift when his upgrade is due. He's not real tech savvy like me( he could care less), but I am. I have an epic, so I want to know, if anyone came from an Epic 4g to the shift, how do they compare? Thanks in advance.

Sent from my non-rooted, stock Epic.
[EVO Shift 4G General] oboroninja:
I think there are one or two threads on this already try going back a page or two or doing a search

powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...
[EVO Shift 4G General] Quis89:
Kind of a Sense vs Touchwiz decision. The software on the Shift in my opinion is much more refined and polished. Of couse that changes if you have a custom launcher.

The keyboard on the Shift is much better. The phone feels much more solid than the Epic. My Epic has a gap between the keys and the screen so when pressing the screen you hear a click. This isn't an issue on my Shift.

Camera/screen are both better on the Epic. The quality of the Epics screen in my opinion is unmatched by any phone currently.

Front facing camera on Epic....none on the Shift.

Speed differences are nonexistent. Both phones run quick on stock. Real life use you won't notice a big difference.

Gaming....Epic wins. If you guys are looking to do any heavy gaming the Epic is the better option.

Battery life...kind of a toss up. I feel my Shift goes a little longer but I've also read complaints. Although I do use my Epic as my mp3 player during the day.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kingdruid:
Why do you say the Epic is better with games? Benchmarks for the shift hit 1200 on 2.2 while benchmarks for the Epic hit 900 on 2.1
[EVO Shift 4G General] zanderman112:
Benchmarks aren't accurate. They're mostly built for qualcomm processors. Besides they are just numbers. Its real life usage that counts.

Sent from my non-rooted, stock eclair Epic.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kingdruid:
We really need someone to run a game side by side on the epic and on the shift. From there we can tell how they will perform, but the higher benchmark number+ flash support on the GPU tells me the shift has the better GPU.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jeezimus:
After I put 2.2 on and rooted my room mate's epic it destroyed my shift in terms of FPS on quadrant, even though it resulted in a lower overall number at the end. The GPU definitely seems to be much more powerful on the epic.

however, my shift feels much more responsive to the touch and interaction with the phone seems sharper and smoother.

The keyboard is better on the shift in terms of quality and physicality, but its lack of a permanent number row can be mildly annoying.
[EVO Shift 4G General] averroe5:
Also, if you really are concerned with quadrant/benchmark scores then an Epic running a 2.2 custom froyo rom, such as bonsai v2.x can score as high as 21-2200 scores on quadrant. The reason the epic gets a 900 on stock 2.1 is mainly due to samsungs use of their proprietary filesystem RFS instead of a linux fs like ext2/3/4. Once upgraded to a better fs, the epic spanks the evo and shift insofar as benchmarks are concerned. However when it comes to looks, feel, ui, etc. that's a different story.
[EVO Shift 4G General] done12many2:
The GPU of the Epic is definitely more to the task of gaming than that of the EVO Shift. I understand that overclocked Shifts are doing very well in productivity, but the overclocking does not boost the GPU performance enough to overtake the Epic’s capabilities.

I believe the overall feel of the Shift to be much better than the Epic. Build quality is superior, keyboard feel is better and overall size is more convenient. The Epic is fast and does have a great display. The battery life after having both for a while ended up leaning towards the Epic for me.

[Vibrant General] oka1:
make sure you have the sd card and the sim out. then download the latest odin (it is found in Dev section now) and the latest pit. Then go through all the normal odin procedure...... me ......... I would first odin back to Froyo that doesn't brick (no repartition --leave unchecked)then Odin back to JFD (check repartition)..........

That should work......... good luck
[Vibrant General] PSP_Hacker:
Pull out battery, hold both volume up and down buttons, plug in USB, and hold power. That should really put your phone into download-mode :D

Hello,

Excuse me for my English but I am French and I use the services of freetranslation.com to write.

I bought in Thailand a tablet 7 thumbs that is the version asia of the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 (exactly the same technical characteristics + Android 2,2). She correctly works, the GPS sets up the satellites in 10S in interior and in less 5S in exterior. Which is not the case of my Galaxy i5800 (set up slow, usage of patch).

On the other hand opposite has my Galaxy 3 I do not arrive to the root. Z4root no longer works as on the Samsung since updated it of on Froyo, UniversalAndroot 1.6.2 beta 5 gives me an error message (Fu...) and SuperOneClick 1.6.3 immobilizes.

Here infos concerning it:

The tablet 7" is the Wellcom A800

Fingerprint: 2.2/FRF91/5004_3_16E:user/release-keys

On a mini cd potential there was adb.exe and synctools.exe that I have therefore killed so that SuperOneClick 1.6.5 can do his work.

Does anyone else have a problem with a slow GPS lock?

I came from a Touch Pro 2, which could lock onto GPS in about 10 seconds. I routinely have to wait several minutes for the Shift to lock on to GPS.

Is there a fix/hack for this? Does anyone else have this same problem?

Not only is it slow, but often it will lose its lock and will never get it back unless I manually turn it off and back on.

ok, i think i bricked my desire...

i just got it, used to be a captivate user. i had just flashed this rom earlier and was liking it, except for one lil mms problem. i decide to try another rom (RCSTouch) so i put that rom on my sdcard and booted to clockwork. i wiped data and cache and stuff. i then selected to install the rom and i get this error "cant open file (bad) Installed aborted."

maybe the file was corrupted? well i tried rebooting my phone lotsa times and it just fires up vibrates once and stays stuck at the HTC screen. I have to pop the battery to turn it off.

what can i do here?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Boot in to recovery, go to mounts, mount the sd as mass storage, copy a non corupted rom to the sd, dismount and flash your new rom.
[Desire General] Lunchboxbob:
Always nandroid before making any major changes in recovery, that way if anything goes wrong, you can just restore your previous rom. It seems like you did not do this, and thus your phone is not booting up because you wiped it. That being said, follow Ghost's advice as it does seem like a bad file.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Toasit:
So, I have been looking on the forum for 3 days know commenting on all forums with questions regarding BT. Now I do know that BT on WP7 does not allow to transfer files. I also know that Headsets are able to connect, however.... my phones does not allow it for some reason. :mad:

Like the title says I really need Handsfree for my daily life.

My phone does not find my headset, it just keeps searching. I kept it next to each other for 1 hour.... after a hour still searching...

I know Bluetooth is on the Update list when it comes to the next step in cracking WP7, but allot of you guys use BT with a headset, any other have this problem? How do you fix this problem?

I heard it might have something to do with the Radio, that correct?

Please guys help me out! :o

I've run WP7 for only a day and managed to connect it to my Nokia CK7. I took much longer than normal to pair but it worked in the end. Whilst this doesn't really help at least you know it is possible to achieve.

The primary reason taken WP7 off my phone is that I NEED my database apps (currently Handbase) plus the traffic data from google maps.

For the brief period I was using WP7 I was really impressed but for some reason I never managed to dual boot it with Android as I kept loosing the Android partition. I certain this was my fault but having spent more than two hours reformatting the SD card as per the tutorials on here I gave up and flashed back to 6.5/Android.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erickit:
Can anyone think of good arguments I can convey to her to get her to go WP7? She likes the GUI, but hates that it doesn't have a front facing camera (we are AT&T). It's almost a deal breaker.

Does WP7 update via the manufacturer/carrier or via microsoft like the iPhone. (Samsung sucks at getting out Android update, so if it's the first I WILL NOT buy the Samsung, but if it it's the like latter I will).

But other than that, any ideas.... like facebook integration, ease of sync'ing music, controlling xbox music if possible, good applications, etc. Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGCF:
Well if she wants to use the front facing camera for Skype (the only good reason to have one right now) then it will be tough to argue with her. But if she's only planning to use FaceTime you can convince her that not everyone has an iPhone 4 and not everyone uses it as much as she may think.

Based on the information that has been released, Windows Phone 7's updates are tested by the carriers but the actual update is sent out by Microsoft through the Zune desktop software. Updates will take longer than the iPhone in most cases because MS has to make sure the update works with every single phone available before sending it out. But it should still be faster and easier than Android's poorly handled OTA updates.

If she's a big Facebook user, it integrates extremely well with the People Hub and the Pictures Hub but the integration is not deep enough to make up for a full featured app. However the way WP7 handles Facebook is still much much better than most Android phones and the iPhone doesn't even have any unless you get the app. Besides that you can argue that WP7 looks better than the iPhone's software, it is just as fast and responsive, and has a lot of big name apps and games that the iPhone also has.

Good luck!
