[Nook Color General] daithioflionn:
does this require me to be back to stock or can I do it fine running from Eclair.

Also, will I maintain the apps I have already installed.

Thanks for that reply. Brilliant.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
First off, I purposefully left these instructions vague. Please just use this guide as a starting point for what you must learn about. ALOT of reading of the development forum is a requirement, going into this without fully understanding each step is foolish. If done wrong you will cause yourself all kinds of headaches, though producing a brick is hard but not impossible.

You will lose all of your data on the nook color. You will lose the ability to start into clockwork mod(from EMMC) and make/flash recoveries(does not work with froyo).

I am no android developer, nor do I claim to be one. I'm just relaying what I've learned, and has worked for me in the past, from these forums. I'll answer questions to the best of my abilities, but please keep in mind that Froyo IS buggy.

K, here we go.

Easy way is the flashable cwm image located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=938200

Backup eclaire rom then reset to factory default

1: Install Rom manager

2: Flash clockwork mod in Rom Manager

3: Reboot into recovery

4: Create backup of rom(stores on sd card)

5: Wipe data and reset to factory default

turn off

Burn froyo image onto SD card

1: Download winimage (assuming windows)

2: Run as administrator

3: Disk -> restore virtual hard disk image

4: Select SD card

5: Select image to flash

Flash Image

Flash to EMMC

1: Put froyo sd card into nook and boot

2: Clockwork mod will start

3: In "Mounts and Storage" format boot, then system, then data

4: Go back(pwr button) and select flash zip from sd card

5: Select Froyo image

wait for completion

Once Flashed and boots

1: If SD card does not mount replace vold.prop with nookie Froyo 5.8's (A fix is curently being worked on)

2: Install Gapps via instructions here: http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips

3: Install OC kernel, instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10903913&postcount=233
[HD Mini General] curiouser:
Hi all,

I was hoping someone can help me with this.

For some reason, my phone is a Taiwan build (707) but came with an HK rom (721).

I found this out when I got in touch with HK due to being unable download

Ship Rom 1.36.721.3 (94538) WWE. They told me I have an unlicensed rom.

So if the phone came with 721 rom, but physical build should have 707, which one do you think is considered by HTC as my phone's original rom?

Your input is much appreciated

Cheers,

curiouser
[HD Mini General] hazhysalon:
---------------------

Email htc and give them your S/N which is under the battery and they tell you about your original rom..... I did that some day ago.
[HD Mini General] curiouser:
Hi hazhysalon,

thanks for your reply anyway.

[HD Mini General] Jon N/A:
Sorry about bumping this old thread.

But I've got the exact same isuue, and am curious what HTC told Curiouser [:)] about the awkward situation of the smart-phone.

May I ask what did they tell you Curiouser?
[HD Mini General] curiouser:
Hi,

The build is the rom, so TW in my case, and prob yours. Don't know how or why, but the reseller was able to put the HK rom on top of the TW one

It's ok, since you can still update the rom (I'm using nsourm still)

I forget the actual process now but you should be able to find the guide in the threads here.

I would advise you, though, that the process might revert the phone back to the orig TW rom, which is Chinese.

I don't know Chinese, so it would help you if you took screen shots of the process while it's still in English. That way, if it does go back to Chinese, the buttons remain in the same spot so you can still wing it.

Have fun.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelfantastic:
I've moved to SuckerPunch's 1.4ghz OC/UV kernel, and I need to remove the old s_volt_scheduler from /etc/init.d in order to stop Xan's app and SetCPU from FCing all the time.

Any ideas on how to do this? I've tried Astro and it gives a permission denied, and when I mount the phone thru USB I can't even seem to find the appropriate directory in Windows Explorer.

Thanks for any help or ideas you could provide on how to remove these files, or grant permission to them so I can remove them. I am rooted, running Phoenix 4.5.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonner:
Root Explorer app?

And SGS Tools allows you to grant permissions I believe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelfantastic:
SGS Tools was a no-go. Got the .apk for Root Explorer, sideloaded, worked like a charm. The issue was that the filesystem was loaded as readonly, root explorer allows you to mount as read/write.

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
root explorer is the first application i install everytime i reflash my rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelfantastic:
Definitely keeping it on the "must have" apps for each time I reflash. Completely annihilates Astro.

Thanks again, guys.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrT69:
I have some questions about some settings within the kernel of the HD2 device. Because the fact that I'm a Windows user I hope someone can explain this to me.

Let's take a look into the initrd.gz and take a look at the init.rc:

chmod 666 /dev/uinput
chmod 666 /etc/bluez/audio.conf
chmod 666 /etc/bluez/hcid.conf
chmod 666 /etc/bluez/input.conf

EVERY (!) Device is working with this settings. Wether within the ROM nor somewhere else is a link to this files. Here is also a file named "hcid.conf" which was the old name because now its named main.conf. The hcid.conf is responsible for i.e. the bluetooth pin.

2. Go ahead within the init.rc file and you will see this:

service hciattach /system/bin/brcm_patchram_plus --enable_hci --enable_lpm \
--baudrate 3000000 --patchram /etc/firmware/bcm4329.hcd /dev/ttyHS0
user bluetooth
group bluetooth net_bt_admin
disabled

If you take again a look at /etc/firmware you will NOT see any bcm4329.hcd. This file never exists. Also the "brcm_patchram_plus" is not within the /bin direcotry. I only have found the source code for this.

Within a ripped ROM file I found this information within the init.rc:

# Make sure we startup btld before hcid
# Set target address to emulator host loopback IF
# Limit baudrate to 460800 to ensure reliable uart operation
service btld /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/btld -hwtun 10.0.2.2 -hb 460800 3000000 -lpm 1
#service btld /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/btld -lpm 1 -hb 3000000
user root
group bluetooth net_bt_admin
disabled
oneshot

Question:

Could all this be a problem which is related to the "non displaying MAC Address" of the bluetooth within the HD2?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DarkTharen:
This is a notification Icon set that I created based off of the Gingerbread Icons. I decided to post a zip file with all the icons in it so that a user can add them to the files they have on there own phone. This will preserve any custom modifications made to those files. Please enjoy and if you use them in a theme or anywhere else please make sure to credit me. Below is a pdf with the instructions on how to get the icons in the files and install them with a flashable zip. If you have any questions please send me a PM I will try to answer it ASAP. Most of the users on XDA are pretty advanced so I think the instructions will be nothing new or different from modify the files in other ways.

Enjoy! AND ALWAYS DO A BACKUP BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ANYTHING!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] localceleb:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DarkTharen:
what icons did you copy over and did you put them in the right files?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I'm currently using CM 6.1.2 on my Milestone.

If I switch to 2G mode in the mobile network settings, I have no connection.

If I use the Toggle 2G app, it doesn't seem to really do anything. If I set 2G to use one of the options that don't disconnect me (WCDMA, CDMA or GSM 2g/3g) it still shows 3G in the status bar so I'm not sure what the point is in using the Toggle 2G app.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
Wondering the same thing myself...

Does anyone knows the answer?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
I am not certain about this (i use rogers), but i believe that telus has no 2G (edge) network. They built a 3G only network just in time for the olympics to replace their cdma network:

So the toggler probably cant find a valid connection and retries 3G.

Manual mode cant find a network at all.

On rogers, i can fallback to 2g. This is normal according to what i think i know.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
thanks for the info.

That's what I thought so have given up on the idea of getting 2g to work :P

I guess when it comes to 3g and saving battery life, juice defender will have to do as it can turn off data when the screen is off but still have the phone working.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
Well, I think I made some progress with this.

On my phone, I was also loosing the connection when switching from 3G to 2G but it's working now. I can get calls, it's only the data aver 2G that doesn't work now.

I have the Cronos rom on my phone, I can tell you what I did if you're interested.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Yes please do.

If it works on cm6 then at least I can also save juice by not using juice defender... oh the irony... lol

edit: hey look at all them Canadian flags, eh?!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
Took me a lot of time to find the right switches combination.

Anyway, I have Toggle 2G auto managing the 2G/3G and for the bottom 2 options:

2G network: WCDMA preferred (3G/2G)

3G network: GSM auto (PRL)(2G/3G)

If I check under Setting/About/Phone/Status, I see written mobile network type UMTS.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Hmm... I had those 2 settings reversed when using toggly2g :P

I will try that.

Right now, my mobile network type shows up as HSPA.

Your post prompted me to find the difference and came up with these 2 useful pages just before my head exploded.

Awesome thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1600012-HSPA-vs.-UMTS

Handy chart at the bottom of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Mobile_Telecommunications_System
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
Is this not the same then as just shutting off data?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
Not sure but I don't think so. You can turn off the data but have the phone connected to the 3G network, right?

I think you could get data over 2G but it's just very slow, right?

With Telus I don't think they allow data over 2G.

zeppelinrox, I wonder why yours shows like this, what do you have active under those settings?

What ROMs are you guys using?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
When I'm on 2G it shows as UMTS

With 3G (mobile data enabled) I see it alternating from 3G/UMTS to H/HSPA.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I'm on CM6.

My phone always shows HSPA except if I set it to use 2G then it shows GPRS - which is when I have no data and no phone signal.

I did use the Telus baseband file in AOR though... I wonder how it will behave if I use the Canada baseband....

Also, here's a neat trick....

dial *#*#4636#*#*

A Testing App will show up....

Select Phone Information and then goto the bottom.

You can set your preferred Network type.

Ok so that listbox shows all the different options.

The only options that will save are:

GSM only (2g - I get nothing - shows as GPRS)

WCDMA only (3g - shows as HSPA)

GSM auto (PRL) - (3g - shows as HSPA as well)

All the other options either are not selectable or just revert back to GSM auto (as is the case with WCDMA preferred)

I just did a few speed tests and I seem to get faster speeds with GSM auto than I do with WCDMA only

Gonna try that Canada baseband now....

Edit: Same thing. Except the speed test is slower for both WCDMA and GSM autio so best off using the Telus baseband.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
The dial trick doesn't work. I dial the sequence as a phone number, right?

It disappears then nothing changes.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
ah.. yeah sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries...

do you use adw launcher?

If so, you can actually create a shortcut for it... I figured it out today.

1 Press and hold on homescreen and select Custom shortcut

2 Press "Pick your activity"

3 Select the second item on the list ie. Activities (with the ADW icon)

4 Wait for all stuff to load, scroll down to Settings, and press the arrow next to it to see the long list of activites that Settings.apk can do.

5 Scroll down near the end of the list, you will see Testing(.TestingSettings)

6. Select that and press OK on the next window.

I also made one for Battery History, which is actually part of the Testing app but is usually only accessible through Spare Parts.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
I still can't get the trick to work... doesn't do anything on my phone :(

Right now I'm on the 2501 rom (latest 2.2.1 from Motorola) and I can say it's the best I've tested so far!

Outstanding battery life!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I found another way to run Testing App.

With Google gesture search you can set it to launch Settings actions

Let it scan and then write "testing" on the screen

Edit: oh crap I mistyped the code.

Its *#*#4636#*#*

I had 4536 before so I fixed it
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
Well, after doing some more tests and trying different apps (2G/3G switchers) I can say those apps work only if your cell phone company has both 2G/3G network.

In Montreal, only Rogers has both.

Easy to test (btw: I'm using the FroyoMOD rom): go in "Settings" -> "Wireless & Networks" -> "Mobile Network Settings" and check "Use only 2G networks".

See if your cell phone company is listed when you do a search under "Network Operators". If it's not, don't bother using a 2G/3G switcher.

When doing this, in Montreal I see only Rogers listed. If I uncheck "Use only 2G networks" I see all 3 of them: Bell, Telus and Rogers.

Hope this helps!

Was just wondering since I'm new to Android as well as smart phones.. will there be any consequences if I were to install paid apps which I did not pay for.. u see, I came across free paid apps in torrent files and I'm not too sure if I should install or just get the paid ones.. I'm all for supporting the developers but I just need to know if there were any pros and cons to it..

Thank you...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckshotjr:
That's an iffy topic mate. It all depends, I suppose. Be weary with torrents, lotta nasty people out there - you could very well get a virus/keylogger on your android through an infected app. you download...

But, there are no concequences... no one can "find out", as far as I know. Just be careful where you get it from because Androids CAN get viruses, and it's not pretty.

[Android Apps and Games] Jaara:
Hi guys,

here is a new FTP server which runs on your rooted phone and enables you to remotely access all of your files on your phone for read/write (even /data, /system and / itself). If you like it, you can find it on Google Play.

Current version is: 1.20

Developer's page is here: http://waterdev.com/apps/rftp

Tutorial: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/05/h...-evo-root-file-system-from-your-computer.html

Video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd1p0SAx9J8

----------

More info:

----------

Root FTP Server is an utility (ftp server) for Android to remotely access the file system with root privilegies over FTP protocol. You can access everything, even your /data /system or even / folder with read-write permissions. There are no restrictions. For that to work, you need a rooted phone. It really wont work without it. You also need to connect your mobile to the network (probably by wifi).

Instructions:

* Connect to your wifi network. Your computer must be able to reach your phone.

* Install the application.

* Press the start button, be patient, the installation will take a while. Once it is done, you will be asked for your user name. (If you have Superuser app, please see below.)

* Press the start button again, the server will start.

* Use any ftp client you like to access your files.

Issues:

* If you have the Superuser application installed, you MUST check "remember" and then click "enable".

* If your phone is not rooted, the server will NOT install.

* There is no password! Your username acts as a password as noone should know it. If you are prompted for a password, just hit enter (no password).

Connecting:

Use any ftp client. Totalcommander, windows explorer or whatever you like. The server runs at port 21. For passive connections, it uses ports 29000-30000. It is fully enabled ftp server with many features on. Url to connect will look like: ftp://username@192.168.1.1:21, or just ftp://192.16.1.1 and you will be prompted for you username and password. The username is what you entered in the application, password is empty (no password). If you are using windows explorer, please enter url in this format: ftp://yourusername@yourphoneipaddress to your URL bar (e.g. ftp://tom@192.168.1.1).

The server actually installes into your device to be available even without your sd-card. It will take about 1MB of space.

If you find any bugs contact me at bugs@waterdev.com!
[Android Apps and Games] creage:
Well, what's the difference between yours one and SwiFTP, or even Samba? I'd prefer last one for it's stability, performance and functionality. (nothing personal, man)
[Android Apps and Games] Jaara:
Well, one big difference is that in Swiftp (not quite sure about samba) you cannot browse through data folder, you cannot download files there, you cannot write to the system directory etc. With Root FTP, you can. It does not have any of these limitations, it allows you to do anything on the filesystem.
[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinrox:
I haveto try this :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jaara:
Thank you, I appreciate any comments.

I updated the application and it now supports USB mode. That means that you can comfortably connect your phone to PC via USB and access the filesystem with root privileges from any file manager you like. For further instructions, visit the homepage.
[Android Apps and Games] Jaara:
A great new tutorial came out at www.goodandevo.net! Thanks to Gary.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Bought the full version, coiuldnt get it to work on my 3.1 xoom. Is this a known issue?

Hi, no, I have not tested it on devices 3.0+. However, if you could send an email at bugs@waterdev.com (or just PM me) with a description of your problem, it would be very helpful. In case we cannot solve it, I will happily send you a refund.

[Android Apps and Games] jacklebott:
Doesn't there need to be a free XDA version to advertise it here? Or did I miss it somewhere?
