[HD7 General] jwalk74:
Is it possible to sync my contacts from an Android phone to my new HD7? I dont have the HD7 yet, supposed to arrive today, just trying to prepare for its arrival.

Thanks for any help!
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
yes, just add your gmail account and select sync contacts in the settings simples :)

just a note, if you do have a LIVE account (msn etc) it'll add your gmail contacts to the live account so you'll be able to see them in hotmail
[HD7 General] jwalk74:
THANK YOU! Simple quick answer!:)
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
No worries, it was the one thing I worried about when I jumped ship from Android on launch day of the HD7, I was pleasantly surprised by it and other contact import features (facebook etc).

Hi people I have rooted my HTC Evo 4g and flashed a few roms already .....the latest one I have flashed is Vaelpak 3.0 remastered ..now I am unable to get me phone into recovery mode it keeps on just taking me to bootlooter.....please help thank so much ......Jay Bucks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
what recovery do you use?

second, can you go to recovery through the bootloader? it has a recovery option.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybucka:
When I click on the recovery it loads back bootloader ....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrel_b:
nosympathy wanted to know what recovery you're using: Clockwork or Amon Ra?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Reflash your recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
exactly because whichever one your using, you need to reflash that recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybucka:
Clockwork
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
So your problem is only that you can't get into recovery? If it still boots up, then just turn it on and use ROM manager to flash clockwork recovery back on the phone. You should be good to go after that.

can someone port jpcsp PlayStation portable emulator to android.it's written completely in java so it should be a snap to port to android right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] howser:
This is a good idea. We need a programmer to look this over and see how much work it would need. And those idiots who leave comments saying "no its impossible, the hardware is not capable" should keep quiet because many people said that about n64 on the android and its been done now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AspenTree:

nah, not worth it enough considerly the fact that Sony is already developing/releasing some kit for developers and will probably release their own psp emulator or app to play em.

Just wanted to report that the HD2/Android subforum search feature is disabled. The subforums work alright (General, SD, Nand, Themes/Apps), but you just can't do a top-down from within the HD2/Android section.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] williamsean:
Hi,

I've been playing around with different roms that are available here on XDA. Currently I've gone back to the first NAND "Stock Desire" ROM by Cotulla. Now I see all the developers here doing there best to get a good Desire HD rom on the HD2, but my question is, why...

As far as I know the only difference between the Desire ROM and the Desire HD ROM is HTC Sense and a different version of Locations. All other features are the same in both roms. So what differences am I missing?

Grtzz Will
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Well ill answer your question with my question..

...why not?

The sense version is a big enough reason in itself. There is many differences between the sense versions of Desire and DHD.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
i much prefer the version of sense on the HD builds than i do with the standard desire roms

there are difference in it, such as the last running apps in the list when you drag the notifications down, there are extra themes i believe aswell

[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
I've saved a couple i9000 Odin flashed Fascinates with this method so it should work.

First, grab my DI01 All in One. You need an all inclusive package.

http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/DI01package3.tar.md5

You will need odin3 v 1.30. Google for it.

You also need Heimdall.

Heimdall – Glass Echidna There is a readme in the windows version zip if you get stuck. Drivers must be installed for it as well.

You also need a copy of the samsung galaxy s usb drivers, because Heimdall will remove them when you use it.

[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S - xda-developers

You will also need a PIT file from me:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/atlas_v2.2.pit

Steps:

1. Install Heimdall and drivers.

2. Put phone in download mode and plug it in to usb cable.

3. Unzip the Odin file. 7zip can do this, but will give an EOF error. Ignore the error.

4. Choose each section in Heimdall and add the appropriate file, including PIT. Check repartition. Primary boot loader is boot.bin and secondary boot loader is sbl.bin.

5. Start. Boot once, check for problems. If problems persist, continue.

6. Reinstall Samsung USB drivers for Odin. This may require a PC reboot.

7. Put phone back in download Mode and start Odin, making sure its detected.

8. Load the entire Odin package, not extracted into the pda section of Odin. Include the PIT file. CHECK repartition.

9. Run the process.

If all goes well, you should be back to stock, crappy Eclair 2.1 without force close errors.
[Fascinate Android Development] upsidedownaaron:
On a whim last night I flashed cm7 from kaoscinate. It wasnt what I wanted (nothing worked except calls data and sms), so I tried to go nack to sc 2.4. And of course I was bricked. But I just odined the eb01 radio and voila, I was ok.

Not sure if that helps.
[Fascinate Android Development] chuck670:
i went to cm7 from sc 2.4 aswell, and to get back to sc 2.4 i just flashed cwmfroyo edition through cwm, rebooted the recovery then wiped data, re-installed sc 2.4 and bam! i was back.
[Fascinate Android Development] Syn Ack:
I wouldn't say you were bricked. Bricked means the phone no longer functions period, no matter what you do to it. But I'm glad this helped you. I'll probably use the DL09 All in One and then flash SuperClean back over that.

When you flash an All In One, you are taking your kernel and your radio (modem) back to that version as well. When you want to go back to Froyo or whatever, make sure you flash the radio along with whatever else your flashing.
[Fascinate Android Development] upsidedownaaron:
Boot looped. Wouldn't get past Samsung logo. Not an uncommon problem for me. I have become very comfortable with Odin.
[Fascinate Android Development] PJnc284:
haha yeah. It's saved me but a couple times mostly anytime voodoo is involved. Tried restoring a nandroid backup of EB01 after flashing CM7 and got force closes from hell. Odin'd back using the EB01 unbloated/deodexed.tar and everything booted fine. Tried to restore the nandroid and couldn't do anything because of the force closes. Think I have corrupt data somewhere though. I also made a backup of the apps and data in MyBackupPro and ended up in the same force close situation upon reboot after restoring all. Selectively restoring a couple apps worked fine. Oh well.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Basically, I can't sustain a data connection for longer than about a minute before my fascinate disconnects. It takes about a minute to reconnect, then it disconnects again. Over and over and over. It never affects phone calls because it's not losing signal, it's just dropping the data connection.

I've been poking around my phone a bit, and in the past week, but I can't pinpoint what I did that made this start happening. I was hoping this thread would save me, but it didn't. I went back to DI01 using heimdall, booted up, still had the same problem. Reflashed with Odin, same thing. Went back to SCv2.4 with EB01 modem, same thing.

I ask this in this thread because I'm wondering what part of the phone remains untouched even with the full DI01 flash? Like some kind of low-level device mode that I triggered?

If there is nothing then it must be hardware related, and I will get a replacement.
[Fascinate Android Development] upsidedownaaron:
@gizmo, maybe its time to start all over again with adryn's full di01 odin restore. i have had to do that twice now. and it has saved my butt.

i have become pretty familiar now with rebuilding my entire phone. it only takes about an hour now to go from a rom i like, to soft bricking it and then back to the rom i liked before i soft bricked with another alpha i just couldn't seem to wait to try. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] jpolzner:
Why does the movinand.bin fail when using Odin?
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Sounds pretty familiar :cool:. I always have to be breaking my stuff to be happy.

I've done the full heimdall DI01, followed by full Odin, to no avail. I think I messed up something with the service programming on the phone, but reactivating it doesn't help. None of the factory reset options I've tried have cleared the activation settings back to stock. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

I suppose I should move to my own thread now.

So I have a G2, the 30 day return policy ends on Feb 22, should I return it on the 22, get my money back, and buy the Vibrant 4G on the 23rd? Do you think T-Mobile stores will have it on the 23rd
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby1986:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikevinnyii:
I think its a 14day return policy for tmobile not 30, i had both but i hated the g2 and went back to my vibrant. You can keep swapping phones within the 14 day and u get a new 14 day everyime you exchange atleast that was the case with me ( I swapped and exchanged like 4 different phones) But i would get the vibrant 4g plus if its possible. But youll most likely have to pay the price difference between the vibrant 4g and g2 to exchange it for that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyhawk:
I had a 20 day return on mine. Funny how we got 3 differant answers for 3 people
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
14 days if you pay contract price, 30 days if you pay full cost for the device

Dude, even with all the bs sammy gives us. Hands down greatest peice of hardware ever created so far. It just feels perfect. At least in my hands. Best phone ever especially with KB1 rom and voodoo insane speed and battery life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
The different answers received are likely because the policy varies depending on how the phone was bought. In-store purchases are 14-days, Online purchases are 20 days. The extra days for online purchases are for shipping allowances, etc when returning the device. Either way, T-Mobile doesn't do 30 days. If the OP is already past 14 / 20 trial, then the G2 can't be returned anyway. In that case, it ends up being a moot point because the OP either failed to read, listen, etc.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizoh66:
You do get 30 days to return the phone if its not an upgrade and purchased in full at a T-Mob store. 14 days if on contract.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthx32:
I sold my Vibrant, got the G2. Not regretting it one bit.

Yeah, Vibrant was a little faster, but Samsung can suck it. Tired of their lines of BS. Their story has always been the same. My friend had a Behold 2 and he warned me about Samsung's incompetence and their propensity to renege on promises (Behold 2 was supposed to get updates 1.6 or 2.1 Android and they got NOTHING). I should have heeded his advice.

And Cyanogenmod rocks, they're actually innovating and introducing new features rather than just releasing ROMs w/ skin changes.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
CyanogenMod is good for a nerd, not for the average person.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthx32:
C'mon, you're on XDA forums. We're all nerds here, we're spending our free time to root our phones to squeeze out an extra 10% of functionality.

Even I, as a low level of nerd, who hasn't edited a file or skinned my own launcher, can appreciate the extra functionality of Cyanogenmod. Customizable drop-down status menus, lockscreen gestures, etc etc. All awesome things.

In the end, the hardware is only as good as the software on it. HTC has always been good about keeping their devices up to date (not as good as Motorola, but certain better than Samsung). Cyanogenmod is just icing on the cake.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
Well, to be honest, I actually quite like Samsung phones, even though their updates time are terrible.

I learned that what aren't broken don't fix it. Extra tweaks/options/themes will only serve to slow the phone down or mess it up somehow. I actually like to keep my phone as simple as possible, using only enough power to get it to work correctly.

[General Questions and Answers] rogier666:
Now that my Motorola Defy with f/w 2.51.1 is finally rootable I've killed all the annoying sounds in the system/media/audio/ui folder.

But there's one annoying sound that escaped: the system beep.

This beep sounds whenever I press a volume button when there's no media player or call active.

So when I want to reduce the volume of my phone (without going into silent mode), turning the sound down three notches generates three beeps. When I shoot a picture, zooming in three levels generates three beeps, even with the camera shutter sound disabled. Removing a USB cable also makes my phone beep.

This beep doesn't come from any sound file in the system/media/audio folder, and turning the system or notification volume down to zero doesn't silence it. Maybe the system beep is generated by a system app running in the background?

Question: is there a way to disable this system beep? (No, not by putting the entire phone in silent mode.)

i'm seeking either a code sample or library that needs to be added to view the registry. Or is the registry write only? I'm trying to make a backup of the currently device registry and then jsut play with it... a "precaution" for the device bricking
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If you download the source to my IE Search Switch project (it's in the ZIP file) you will get a "Homebrew" library which includes a WindowsCERegistry class that gives read access to much of the registry. There are some areas which have tighter security and can't be read, though. If you use the device-specific functions, you *might* get more access than WindowsCERegistry provides.

You can see an example of how I use registry code in the app project.

[General Questions and Answers] crimsoneyez:
Hi, i've recently installed the Oxygen V2 RC7 rom onto my HTC Desire. I've installed the Rom Manager app and have used that to create a partition to allow for apps to install onto my sd card.

However when I install apps, it appears that it still stores onto my internal memory. At the moment when I go into Titanium Backup it states that my internal memory only has 64.2mb free (down from 154mb) and SD card (a2sd) has 452mb free (down from 480mb).

I've tried googling but I can't seem to find any solutions. I've also tried reflashing the rom again but nothing changed.

If someone could point me in the right direction and to what I may have done wrong, or if i've missed something, it would be highly appreciated! a2sd was one of the main reasons I rooted, so it's a bummer it's not working atm!
