[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Just getting s=off is not enough. S=off will allow you to full root by allowing non official recovery versions to be flashed. Basically s=off means you have disabled the security system that checks the software you are installing is official versions. It does not mean the ROM itself has root. There are specific files and functionality that must be installed to have root access. The SU app can be installed but not functional without these essential files and functions.

Basically there are two kinds of root. Root on a stock device, which inserts the SU functionality into the existing software, the other is root with custom software. The second option requires s=off. (or at least an exploit that gets around it) Temp root is a process in which the system files are copied into a temp location and the software is tricked into using the copied files instead of the real files. That means that rebooting erases the temp files and the software uses the originals again. This is useful in that with these files copied and root enabled through them, they can be used to trick the software to allow the real files to be altered.

After you do get s=off, you must run visionary to temp root again, and before you do, check the box to ensure that system is R/W after temp root completes. This is where you trick the software to allow you to change the real system files.

Remember, if you reboot at any time before perm root is achieved, you will loose root and SU functions.

After temp root you should run visionary again to perm root. I had issues with the app not wanting to start the process for perm root. I just ran the temp root with R/W enabled, downloaded ROM manager from the market, then used ROM manager to flash clockwork recovery. Then I put a ROM zip on my SD and rebooted into recovery and flashed the zip and BAM running on a rooted custom ROM.

Make sure you pick a clockwork version that will work for your intended ROM. You must pick the "all clockwork recoveries" option to select the correct version, as the default version installed is 3.0.0.5

If you want CM7 use 3.0.0.5 if you want any froyo based ROM get the one ending in .12 (as the version .14 never flashes properly, for me at least and that is on 3 different MT4G I have rooted) Now that you have a custom recovery, you can install any ROM you want. (keeping in mind the froyo/gingerbread recovery compatibility)

Remember that just installing a custom recovery is not root either, you must install a new ROM or use visionary to gain perm root.

I am rooted, and s-off. I actually have some restores/ and backups that will take my phone back to unrooted through ROM manager. I can always go back to another backup though, and I am rooted again. Strange but it works somehow. I am using Royal Ginger and love it now, but I could still go back to s-off, unrooted through Clockwork, so I don't understand that.

I am looking for help on a currently abandoned app at (can't post links yet, message me for link) We use it to print customer recipts on a very basic thermal recipt printer. My company needs this app updated to work with a Zebra MZ220 printer and I believe it is currently set to work with a citizen printer. The app was natively designed for Windows Mobile and I have the .Cab file if that would be of any help. Please contact me to discuss a price and expectations.

Hello

I am having a problem with a game called Need For Speed Shift on my sony ericsion x1. I try to install on my phone, but for some weird reason i can not run the game. I seen that it works on my phone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbbqdTY-EUo

It says that it could not find s3e.icf, either embedded or as an external file.

what does that mean?

and also......

No executable to load. Place an execultable(.s3e) file in your data directory or use the ICF file setting (s3e) game executable=x

ok-continue

I have done some research on an .s3e file and it told me that I have to use the proper build for my device.

So....i am asking if anyone have the build that i need to play this game

It would be very great if someone could post a video on how to flash my x1.

I have tried to look at the post on roms, but i dont flash my phone and break it, so....i want to know if anyone could make a quick video on it for me.

Thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] da pavinator:
Its a really simple question. If I were to buy this phone. Would it work with Telus Mobility of Canada?

I have a previous one, but its so beat up it doesn't even turn on (not due to a faulty battery: that was confirmed)

I can just buy another one for $200 on Amazon.

But I want to know if this'll work on Telus.

I know unlocked phones work in any provider. But due to my experience, which didn't let me choose Telus Mobility in the connection menu in my previous Kaiser. I could blame that on the custom ROM I had flashed.

But lets just say I were to use the factory ROM, since it was actually pretty badass ROM itself. Would I be able to find Telus Mobility in the connection menu?

I am using an HSPA SIM. So would 3G data work as well?

Does anyone from Canada have experience with an HTC Kaiser they bought and used with Telus Mobility?

hello everyone out there ;)

i have those 3 problems named above!

i have them no matter what build i use (froyo x or frx04)

with tmo sim everything is fine! eplus even if entered manually isnt showing up apn!

and id3tag:

in music player i can hear all the songs (with some lags when switching between lots of songs and sometimes while playing)

but 1200 out of my 1600 songs are listed without artist(!)

any way to solve this?

using cubed doesnt change a thing =(

and now usb:

i can attach it to my notebook and usb debuging is activating. android is asking if i want to copy files from computer but when i press the filetransfair button (i suppose its like "mount or charge" under donut!) nothing happens it just does nothing.

everything else is running gr8 as i dont use the cameras ;)

-> its much faster and fluider than windows mobile ;) on this phone! (i use only titanium from latest energy rom but hey it laggs!

sense is too heavy for me i hate such interfaces ;) so i'm staying with froyo hoping for an nand release (=

Yeah the idv3 tag is the most annoying for me 90% of new music now is idv3 and pretty much my whole collection of lik 150 songs is all idv3. But I doubt we'll get someone fix it as I suppose atm people find camera functionality and such higher priority issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] killerkhatiby009:
Yup have the same issue with my music, only a select number of songs show the artist, and I'm not exactly sure why. As I manually edited all my artist names and such the same way (right click/properties in windows explorer on my PC) and some show up while others dont.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
There's two versions of ID3 tags. Have you guys all made sure that you're propagating both versions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] DmK75:
Tags

Use mp3tag and convert all tags to ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1, because UTF tags not supported here.

Lost titles and tracks skipping solved.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
He guys , I never did grasp exactly the concept of backing up so whenever I switched from ROM to ROM I would manually install my apps and make a manual back-up of my SD card .

So is there a way to back up my apps and config when switching to other ROMS?

Doing this , will it generate a lot of FC's?

What exactly does Nandroid do or Titanium Back-up . And how do you guys use it efficiently .

Cheers .
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
As far as I know reinstalling the apps tht fc will fix it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
So practically what you're saying is that: I can Titanium back-up my apps right? And if any apps malfunction I can just reinstall . a.k.a uninstall and reinstall right?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
I just had EVERYTHING restored by Titanium backup three days ago, when I switched from void #alpha to #echo. I'm not talking just about the apps, but their settings too; the system apps settings also - provided you choose "Back-up all user apps + system data" batch process. Truth to be told, not all of them were restored with the batch restore on the new ROM, but it worked with the one-by-one approach :)

Was I lucky or Titanium simply did its job right, I don't know, but all the applications worked and I didn't have to reinstall anything from the market.

So yes, I'd trust Titanium for a complete backup.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
@masteryx: hi, i used Ti to backup apps, but it didn't restore the saved games from Dungeon Hunter... Any ideea?

Plus, Void Echo gives me a lot of problems... shutdowns, if i reboot it goes into emergency mode....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
My previous post was somehow incomplete, but editing it seems too complicated; instead I'll be adding info here.

So, based on my experience so far:

1) Nandroid backup.

This backs up your entire OS, apps and settings. It's basically a system image - if you're familiar with Acronis or Norton Ghost concept. Now, there are more options here:

- Nandroid backup simply backs up the OS (data, cache, boot, system);

- Nandroid + .android_secure = OS + applications you installed or moved to sdcard using the OS (not a2sd);

- Nandroid + .android_secure + ext = OS + native apps on sd + a2sd apps = everything

This is good to bring back your phone to life if something went wrong with flashing a different kernel, or ROM, or theme, or anything that sends your phone in an infinite boot loop. The ultimate life saver.

2) Titanium backup.

This one is good to port your apps and their settings from one OS to another. It "reinstalls" them, along with their settings, so that you don't have to painstakingly do it yourself, one by one, installation and configuration. It is able to re-apply the system apps settings too (the so called gapps and sapps in void).

Any input or correction to the above is welcome. Thank you.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
master- Forget it , thx for you very detailed explanation. Cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
It's just a guess, but I think you lost your game saves because they were on the ext partiton, which you had to wipe. A possible workaround would have been to "move [the game] to SD card", which would move the data from the ext partition to the fat32 partiton and make it visible for Titanium. If you were using a2sd, I may be right...

Void #echo stable so far for me. I'm only using a2sd along the main module, though. No overcloking or hardware acceleration.

There is no readymade option which you can use, but if you are willing to mod it yourself, this will help immensely. I use the procedure mentioned there to include it in all my themes for the stock milestone roms.

[G2 and Desire Z General] thunder9111:
So i just got the phone today. In my home I don't have a router, but my laptop is connected, so i usually use my laptop to open wireless via connectify for other wireless devices in the house.

my old sony ericsson mobile phone uses the wifi fine, so does my NDS and gf's iphone4. however my desirez does not even see the wifi network at all.

i did some googling and it seems android phones do not recognize adhoc networks?? is there some simple steps anyone can help me with now?

i have yet to root my phone, and i really dont want to buy a whole new router just for it. thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bahmanxda:
For connecting your android to ad-hoc network you need to

root and patch ,but there are other ways too ,you can setup

a virtual router if you are using linux there are lots of tutorials around

that you can follow .if you are using windows 7 you can use connectify me.

you mentioned you are using connectiry did you mean

"connectify me" for windows 7 ?? because if you are using that

your phone should see the network and connect to it with no

problem, because connectify me is NOT an ad-hoc network

it act as a virtual router and thats the hole point to it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thunder9111:
i am using connectify on windows 7, and all my other devices see the connection except my desire Z. Connectify says the mode is Ad-Hoc, WEP.

So, I was wondering if that's why my new phone can't see it?

it's funny because a month ago my brother bought HTC Mozart (win7phone) and he couldnt use my connectify and i thought win7 sucks. well i guess it's HTC that sucks.. since my old sonyericsson and iphone can both catch the signal...

would be really great if there is easy way for me to use it..

right now i basically have to use the USB to let the phone use the internet, since i have no phone plans yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bahmanxda:
Ok this is the problem .you are running connectify in ad-hoc mode and

android doesnt support that .you need to switch the mode to access point instead of ad-hoc and then it will work without any problem.

setup connectify again and choose access point instead of ad-hoc.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thunder9111:
oh crap i just checked, seems like my laptop doesnt have a win7 compatible device that allows me to share through access point..

sigh.. all i can do is ad-hoc sharing. are there any other ways?

[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
root your phone and patch it is the easiest method. You'll get other benefits from rooting, and it's quite easy now. there are walkthroughs in the development subforum.
[G2 and Desire Z General] The Solutor:
If connectify is sharing your network as adhoc mode, is because your wifi card is not fully supported.

You can get a compatible one for few bucks.

Altenatively google a bit for ad hock enabled mods, but I havent tried that mods on DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thunder9111:
so i take my laptop to an electronic shop asking for a win7 compatible wifi card?

how much do they usually cost?

i guess this would be easier than rooting my phone n going through the modifications or buying a new router.
[G2 and Desire Z General] The Solutor:
Just look on the connectify site for the compatible chipset list, then you can look @ebay or other online resellers to buy one.

Usually they cost less than 20/25$ but is frequent to find one for something like 5$, maybe used.

i try dexter's froyo rom on korea xt720 but some sensors

so i try to find reason and try

at last just copy /system/app and /system/framework folder and some so files on /system/lib (dalvik's files only) it successfully boot :D

but sensors are broken :(

i think it caused by Settings.apk or some framework

but i don't know how i edit that

someone give me file list for sensors? (both apk or jar name and smali name)
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
korean rom shows that the model from korean has different chipset, and some sensors are using a different driver, which you do not get unless you got the right hardware, so korean kernel is needed, with korean sensor driver..

but you are saying even the korean release did not having working sensors?

then you have to approach this differently, then you need the 2.1 korean rom and update graphics driver, so i can load with that kernel and enables sensors..

but its hard work debugging through libs that needs fixing..
[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
original 50R work well

but it too bad rom and i can't fix some problem

i think it diffrent from kernel or framework (i just try replace there and it will fix problem)

how can i made some so files affact dalvik? (if it fix problem no need to edit framework)
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
initially forget framework changes, concentrate on all libs and the copying all apps + framework, and then you need to figure out hany files you need to replace to get proper hw support, and which works together.

as i learned its an awful lot of 2.1 hw drivers used here, so you can tweak it better using hw drivers from 2.1 as well on the korean rom.

Pros and Cons of moving from captivate

Pros:

Physical Keyboard

same resolution (800x480)

Native Froyo without screwing with custom ROMs

GPS that works

Cons

3.7" screen

Not a Super-Amoled screen

less powerful SoC
[G2 and Desire Z General] dietotherhythm:
Lol I think your own pros outweigh the cons already. My friend is using a captivate that he had me root it the other day and I gotta say that there's a huge difference in overall feel. When you tweak the g2/vision/dz (whatever you wanna call it) it feels buttery smooth. Even though it already was pretty smooth on stock.

Recently I switched to de-odexed stock which looks and feels like stock but gives me a little boost in speed. I have to say I am a big fan of the developer work that has gone into maximizing this phones potential without totally making it feel like something different than what htc intended. Other than software optimization, the physical feel is pretty solid. Its a bit heavy but the hardware inside makes it well worth it. Not trying to bash other devices but I feel the g2/vision/dz is not only a great device but in some aspects, it sets the bar for todays smartphone.

[G2 and Desire Z General] dietotherhythm:
well most every device has overclock development but the g2/dz has the highest overclock capability yeet.

It's stock 800mhz but it's a second generation processor which blows away all the first gen 1ghz before it. I have the 1.8ghz kernel currently so I am capable of that much but only use it when doing heavy work loads or testing stability. I also wrote a guide to flashing the 1.8ghz and 1.9ghz overclocking kernels for people who are new to adb in general. Some users have even been able to hit a solid 2.0ghz, most everything over 1.8ghz is much too unstable for regular use.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Hey,

Just wanted to chime in; my friend has the Vibrant and is constantly complaining about the lack of working gps. It's a function that all Vibrant/Captivate/Fascinate owners bought but is lacking whether it be due to software or hardware. He is flashing a new "improved" rom every 2-3 days trying to find the perfect one that will give him good reception/gps.

With the DZ/Vision/G2, the only real con is the "loose" hinge. IMO, it's not that loose on mine but as with anything, you're mileage may vary. As it was stated before, the DZ/Vision/G2 has the second generation Snapdragon, which is clocked lower than the first generation 1GHz, but is much better in the power-to-performance ratio. I wouldn't be turned off by the 800MHz because once you have root and all that jazz, you can easily overclock to that 1GHz level at the minimum. I am sure once you get to that point, you will blow any Hummingbird equipped phone out of the water.

You really can't beat the physical keyboard either :P

[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Desire HD has the same Adreno 205 GPU and basically a overclocked version of our CPU. The CPU difference doesnt matter though since you can overclock the Desire Z/G2 easily. At the same cpu frequencies they perform similarly. The Desire HD does have more RAM though.
