[Vibrant General] ppnguyen235:
For those who bought used Android phones that already had someone's Google account on it: I have been searching for months on how to delete original Google account... but nothing worked... until now. I got piece and piece of information, put them together and it worked! So, try it yourself! Remember to back up your data before doing this 2 steps. I actually copied Android folders from the original 16 GB SD card in the phone to a SD 2GB and played with it, to be safe. When it worked, I did the steps on the 16 GB and it worked, too.

Step 1. Root your phone. Use program like Root Explorer, go to root, open Data folder, then System folder. Delete the file "Accounts.db".

Step 2. Go to Settings --> SD & Phone Storage --> Factory Data Reset. Confirm delete all data. The phone will shutdown automatically. When you power it back on, all Google accounts will be gone. Therefore, BACK UP your email accounts before doing these steps.

Note: I am not 100% sure if step 2 is necessary, but I did both steps and it worked, so I never tried step 1 alone. You can try just step 1 and reboot the phone to see if it worked. If not, perform step 2. I think Google accounts reside in the phone's root and on the SD card both, so after I deleted Google accounts on the 2 GB, I put the 16 GB card in and the original Google accounts came back. Then I did these 2 steps again and it worked.

After the original Google account deleted, you can set up your own Google account and it will be link to the phone. Then you will be able to access the Market. Good Luck!

Delete accounts.db

Delete accounts.db and restart your phone. Simple as that. If you're geeky enough, edit accounts.db.

Its Android and its just code, nothing else!

Bro and sis, is there a way to make sure whether i am connected via wifi or 3g? Cuz my 3g dataplan is not unlimited.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Hold the power button down until the device option screen pops up, the same screen that turns it off. You'll see a Data network mode. Select that so that it shows Data network mode deactivated. Now 3g is off for sure.
[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
you can also use widget or personally go to setting to turn off 3g

but somehow, every time my wifi is on, 3g is automatically off

u wont see the symbol on notification bar anymore
[Galaxy Tab General] amanchen:
thanks bros, nice method.
[Galaxy Tab General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I've had issues with wifi randomly dropping. Some times I wont notice and the 3g handles my traffic even though I don't want it to due to only getting the 1gb plan. With fully deactivating the 3g data I know when I drop my wifi and am ensured that I've turned my tab into a wifi only device.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
The tab uses wifi first when available, and puts the cellular modem to sleep.

I'm trying to go back to Stock Windows 6.5

I tried downloading the stock rom and extracting the zip to my desktop then copying the nbh file over to my SD card and renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh and booting into Boot Loader Mode but it wont load the NBH file.

Here's the settings from my Boot Loader:

PB81120 HX-B3

SPL02.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

SERIAL

Even with the USB connected it still says Serial. I tried installing HTC Sync and the rom I downloaded and extracted is "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship"

After getting a boot-loop issue I was finally able to use a jig to get into download mode and flash back to stock. Now I am not able to root. I get this message when i try the one-click root or if I use the old way of placing the update zip on the root of the sdcard and booting into recovery using ADB as my 3 button is broken. When i click on install packages I get a message about not able to open update.zip(bad)

I get this message if I use an update.zip that I had or the one just downloaded tonight.

I would really like to root and flash di11is5.6 back to my phone. Please help.

[Nook Color General] azndoodle:
I used auto-nooter 3.0.0 to root my NookColor, now the browser is no longer restricted to file downloads. Now when I try to download a 16mb file from the web browser it says I don't have enough room. That's fine, but there's no menu in the browser for me to change the destination folder where these downloaded files are to be stored. Is there some settings file I can hack to redirect from the standard /media/My Files/Downloads to some other location on my SD card?

I know there are other free browsers on Android Market that I can download and use but I rather not have to go through that route.

I don't mind hacking some files to make this change. Is there any ideas?
[Nook Color General] trsanning:
I would also like to know if this is possible. I would like my downloads to go to the SD card instead of the internal memory. Is there a setting somewhere that I am not seeing to do this?

I have rooted my Nook color as per the instructions given in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942424 . After rooting youtube app didn't work for me.It was closing as soon as i open. So i uninstalled youtube app and tried to reinstall as below. But when i execute the adb shell command i am getting "device not found error".

Please help me to get youtube app installed.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube

[Nook Color General] lathavim:
I have uninstalled Youtube that was with autonooter 3.0.

Now when I try to install YouTube.apk I am not able to see Nook Color device using ADB.
[Nook Color General] jn2:
Could you not just save the apk on your MicroSD card then install it using astro file manager? This seems like it would be an easy fix.
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
In order to use ADB in 1.1 rom you will need to enable it each time via nooktools

go to nooktools > all settings > Development and click on the option then plug in your nook and ADB should work, the 1.1 rom will then turn this off once you unplug your nook and you will have to toggle it again next time you want to use it.

Easiest solution is to use Root Explorer and install via sd
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
an easy way to get apks to your nook without adb or connecting via cable is to download Awesome Drop, it lets you drag and drop files on your pc to a website and automatically loads it to your NC then all you do is click on the file and it installs
[Nook Color General] lathavim:
Hi, I tried to install via astro file manager. But it says "Installation of download apks not supported"

I unchecked and rechecked the "allow non-market apps" box in nook color tools and tried to install via astro. It works now. Thanks for your help.

guys i need a help. How to create themes for android in hd2? when i used to have hero i used to make themes and make a zip and flash with custom recovery. whats the procedure to create theme and install in hd2 with sd roms? cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Scabes24:
I'm not sure what you're asking exactly but for skinning sd roms all the images can be found in system - > framework; and system -> app (like usual). You can create a folder tree inside your Android folder on SD starting with folder named "root".

You can also use ninjamorph and metamorph.

To learn how to create skins for DHD\Z builds you can read here.

And if you wish to simply create a flashable zip you might want to look into nand booting (MAGLDR + CWM recovery)

And, as always, remember to search. ;)
[Droid X General] JagoX:
So just curious...anyone played around with the settings for "Advanced" on their DX? Wondering if anyone has found any values that work better and give better performance/battery life then leaving it as-is.

Not new to using SetCPU btw...been using it since I rooted/installed a custom ROM sometime last year.
[Droid X General] Igzekyativ:
I usually lower the sampling rate so that it checks itself more often... I also lower the up threshold to somewhere between 20%-35% so when the cpu load hits that percentage setcpu will tell the cpu to go "balls to the wall"...

"4. Advanced Tab

The Advanced menu allows you to tweak the finer aspects of certain CPU governors. It is only activated when you choose the ondemand or conservative governors.

Sampling Rate – An interval (in microseconds) at which the governor will poll for updates. When this happens, the governor will decide whether to scale the CPU up or down.

Up Threshold – Defines a percentage from 1% to 100%. When the CPU load reaches this point, the governor will scale the CPU up.

Down Threshold (conservative only) – Defines a percentage from 1% to 100%. When the CPU load reaches this point, the governor will scale the CPU down.

Ignore Nice Load – If this value is “1,” the system will ignore “Nice” processes when deciding to scale up or down.

Powersave Bias (ondemand only) – Setting this value higher will “bias” the governor toward lower frequencies.

Choose the “Set on Boot” checkbox to apply advanced settings when the phone boots. This option is completely independent of the similar option in the Main tab."

Hi,

I hope, it's the same Version I'm trying actually, so here's my feedback:

TOPA100, Gingerbread Release GBX0A dated 12/02, no overclocking

1st impression: running very fast and very stable, no problems with basic functions

problems after detailed check:

1) GSM/3G signal reception is weak in comparison to FRX04 (cannot receive a 3G sig at a place where I usually have one under FRX04 or WiMo)

2) GPS not working

positive things to mention:

1) faster than FRX04

2) wakeup is working stable

3) switching on/off WiFi (have to activate it in WiMo first, of course) works stable even after 12-14 hours

4) Camera not working, but the app doesn't crash in photo mode

5) with a for me "normal" kind of usage (longer standby periods, checking SMS/MMS around every hour, receiving email every 30 minutes, some WiFi action, testing some apps, one or two calls) I have a battery duration time of somewhere between 18 and 24 hours

Conclusion for the devs: why not switching over to Gingerbread? ;)

Cheers
