I want to get started using Android on NAND. To avoid any future warranty problems is it possible to make an complete rom backup of the phone as is before installing any programs that can not be undone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Many of the roms are available for download, with links posted in a few threads throughout xda. Search on the rom name ie 1.66.xxx.xxx etc and see if you cna find a downlaoded copy. Alternatively go to HTC.com for your area and go to Support/Downloads and enter your serial number which should allow you to download your rom.

[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
Good morning.

I have a good phone now, a Touch Pro2 and always loved smartphones with keyboard, and entering the world of Android, the best choice now for me would be the Desire Z/G2.

I'm searching for a place to buy online, who either ships overseas (as i live in Brasil) or to USA, and is reliable.

Anyone here can give me tips about stores ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ALF2010:
Hi, I'm in Sao Paulo with a G2 on TIM, I'll sell it to you for R$1300. PM me if interested.
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
Thanks, too costly. I'm searching in US, as i have people to send it to me and a friend who has a Import Business firm. For this price i can get a brand new at a Br auction site.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
which cell service are you going with

i would say g2 for tmo or DZ for anyone else
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
Why don't you just send one of your "people" to a tmobile store?
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
My cell service would be here in Brasil, which is GSM and 3G/2100 mhz. For what i've read, both the Z and the G2 operates in 3G at 2100 mhz, so both are ok.

Of course i would need a store who sells unlocked phones. At T-Mo they would not sell unlocked phones. Either i buy online and ships directly to me, or i order to ship to my friend's family in the US and they send me here...

G2

Should just buy a G2 and unlock it byself... i got mine for $340
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
The stores i though were Plemix, PopularElect, and Gsm Nation, and Ebay.

Any thoughts on them ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] huntman21014:
Go for the DZ, the G2 needs 1700 and 2100 for 3G, not just 2100
[G2 and Desire Z General] ALF2010:
Well I'm curious which site you're looking at since on Mercado Livre the cheapest I seen were R$1590.

If you already have people to send it to you just buy from ebay or craigslist, good luck with the shipping to here + taxes. You can buy one unlocked off Amazon for $500. My phone's already perm-rooted, S-OFF, sim unlocked, running gingerbread. Offer stands.
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
i saw last week for R$1349, and today for R$1319 too.

well, now i'm just trying to see which store is the best and reliable...
[G2 and Desire Z General] zytedwards:
hey guys, i really wanna know whether desire z is available in US or not ?

It seems that only T-G2 is on sell..
[G2 and Desire Z General] ALF2010:
So basically, still higher than my offer, and not guaranteed to work on TIM.

Thats cool though, I love my Vision.
[G2 and Desire Z General] raydar670:
I know that Telus (a Canadian carrier) might sell a Desire Z unlocked and it has the same bands as AT&T (might work on 2100Mhz but I'm not sure)
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
well, popularelect has the G2 for 479.99 usd, and for what i've seen, their reputation is good !
[G2 and Desire Z General] electronicrice:
i thought the vision was able to be sim unlocked with this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855764

So if that's the case, why not have someone pick up the T-Mobile G2 and unlock it? That way you can use the G2 on whatever network you have there without issue
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
the g2 at popularelect is unlocked !
[G2 and Desire Z General] datsross:

I bought a Desire and now the Desire Z (not a G2)

Check out there Web Site, same as there name above.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
You can unlock it, yes, but you can't change the radio bands (they are set in hardware). So an unlocked G2 can't use 3G on AT&T, for example. That's why people want to get hold of the NAM model Desire Z from Bell.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ALF2010:
Good luck getting something by customs, taxes in Brazil will cost more than the phone itself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
I got mine from http://www.expansys-usa.com/
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Only the G2 is officially carried by any of the US carriers. You can buy unlocked versions of the Desire Z, but which one you buy will depend on the 3G band used by your carrier. The ones I know about are the Euro version and the Bell Canada version. The Bell Canada version is the only Desire Z variant that is compatible with AT&T, if that is your carrier.

can someone please upload the browser.apk from the cyanogenmod 7 for galaxy tab for me?

I do not know how to extract it as the package does not contain a extractable zip file :) (only a .ext4)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Deleted member 267841:
i attach.

in order to extract apps, in unix systems, download the CM7.zip, extract your contents on the desktop and execute "sudo -o loop factoryfs.ext4 factoryfs" (previously, create the factoryfs dir on desktop)...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] azubi:
Wow, thanks a lot!

Is there a way to extract it within Win7?

btw: too bad the browser does not work :( I got a parse-error when installing. if I put it directly into /system/app the browser does not show up in the app drawer
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Deleted member 267841:
possibly it requires a sdk version 9

for test purposes, try to change "ro.build.version.sdk=8" in your /system/build.prop

to "ro.build.version.sdk=9"

try "daemos tools" in order to mount iso in win7 or install ubuntu from a live-cd :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] cruschmann:
Or you could just use winrar to extract it.

[General Questions and Answers] jsd703:
Brief background…I am working for a chip manufacturer to demonstrate their sensor devices on a Android development board built around a Samsung processor. The board is complete with a touch screen LCD. I can build and flash the kernel + Android onto the board as well as my own Android app whose purpose is to demo the sensor component and drivers.

I have modified what should be a good sensors.c file (at least it complies with the sensors.h template), compiled it, and am trying to install it on the target board. I am basically using this reference as a model for what I am doing:

source.android.com/porting/sensors-dot-html

The drivers are proven and working with a test program. But, after much testing, it is apparent that my sensors library is not getting installed onto the target properly. I can provide more details on this, but it is clear that my libsensors.so is not being accessed. Biggest evidence is that my Android App fails in exactly the same way whether libsensors.so is installed or not. (I remounted /system for read/write, then re-ran the app, and it fails the same both ways for various experiments.) Also, I have peppered the file with log statements and none of them show up.

I have put my sensor library into /system/lib/libsensors.so as well as /system/lib/hw/libsensors.so. Same results either way - neither causes the library to be accessed on the target hardware.

Anyone know if there are additional guidelines to getting the sensors shared library installed properly?

Any clues would be a help – if only a direction to dig some more…

Device flashes - Device boots - Device runs the Welcome.exe, but then no Customisation.

Iv recently added some EXT packages into my rom. i made them myself from .cab's with cab2ext. ive tested the .cab's before adding to my rom, they do work. but some programs that did work before adding the new EXT's now dont because of no customisation eg, Task Manager - the one on the today screen and also Windows Live. (iv only noticed these two at the moment but there will be more, to be honest i cant be arsed looking for programs that work or dont work when its quite obvious its because of no Customisation, if i fix that, they will work again.. simples :))

Anyway...

I opened the new EXT packages ive added and checked all the files.. eg, .dat .reg and all "FILES" files, i even checked the .lnk's and all seems ok. i then checked them again.. yet everything still looks ok, but something is seriously f*cked! :rolleyes:

Also another problem, a wierd one..

When i Soft-Reset/Restart the device, it boots up with the Welcome.exe again? (the Welcome.exe is meant to only run the once and then dissable :()

Help? iv almost got my rom the way i want it - ive been working on this rom for 2months and i dont want to start building the rom from scratch...

..again! :D pmsl

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong, if this has happened to you, how did you fix it?

Thanks!

Check your runcc.lua, then the conf*.txt files you include in your rom, then all the commands you execute inside them.

One of these commands go wrong in your first boot and so you are stuck on customization.

If you use xda_uc or another user customization method, check those scripts as well.

It may happen, for example, if you try to install a cab and for some reason it fails.

If in your recent packages you overwrite one of your conf*.txt file, this could be the cause.

[changed title to solved, @claros]
[Windows Mobile] claros:
This happened to me at least 20 times, or more :)

Let's check together what happen at first boot, if I'm wrong anybody else will correct me.

1) files are moved from \windows to other directory according to your app.dat / initflashfiles.dat.

2) .provxml files are parsed to change config values or filesystem

3) welcome is executed, but this command don't stop startup so:

3a) autorun.exe or runcc is executed too to customize rom: these package runs according to the commands inside various config*.txt files in oem packages or sometimes in ext packages

4) user configuration, usually included as a call inside one of conf*.txt files is executed. If you don't use xda_uc, user customization should follow the same syntax as autorun/runcc

5) Last conf*.txt file should include at least a

LOCK: Disabled and a reset

At this point you should have completed the welcome wizard. If not, and your calibration data is not in registry, your are prompted again with welcome wizard at second boot.

Common errors during boot sequence are:

- wince.nls is missing

- app.dat / initflashfiles.dat error, such as creating subfolders inside non existent folders or statements not in unicode format

- registry / provxml errors during setup of welcome.exe itself, for example you disable the whole welcome wizard but don't write calibration data into registry

- chain error inside conf*.txt files, such as config.txt calls config_operator.txt which call config.txt, generating a loop

- a cab or command inside a config*.txt files cannot be installed, for example for lack of space or a missing certificate

What I usually do in these cases is:

- check platformrebuild log file for errors

- save my last tmp/dump folder to check what is really inside the rom and what is really overwritten by what

- If you can connect by activesync to device before reboot, explore the device itself, it's processes and registry

- recompile the rom putting semaphores inside app.reg files, .provxml files, config*.txt file. I usually add an ext package to be included as the last one (ZZZ_Claros_Fix) where I put a special app.reg, a .provxml and a modified copy of config.txt, config_operator.txt, config_end.txt etc etc.. If you don't have a diamond, you can boot without sdcard to avoid any sd_config.txt error

Starting a new kitchen from scratch for me is at least 20 days of work, I'd spend a day more finding a solution :p
