[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
I have two simple questions, I have been reading everything I can find on Task29, Flashing etc. (I have successfully performed a ROM flash of a custom ROM and updated my radio ROM, but now I want to learn more) - I just want to make sure I understand this correctly so thanks for answering my questions if you are able.

1. I know Task29 formats/clears all memory.

2. I know as part of that task how to then flash a custom ROM

My first question is this - if I do this process, do I *HAVE* to flash a Radio ROM after, or do most custom ROMs (example: Energy) include a Radio ROM so after Task29/flash custom ROM the phone is usable?

Second (related) question - Does Task29 clear the Radio Rom from memory too?

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hashtowent:
i'll try to explain:

task29 executes format c so windows is away ;) BUT bios is not.

same on touch pro2:

internal memory is cleaned but radio and splashscreen are untouched ;)

custom roms can include but nromaly they dont radio roms ;)

so task29 is just doing format c:/ ;)

you can flash a radio rom afterwards but thats nothing special =)

after task29 only memory is cleared! nothing more and nothing less
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
Thanks for the explanation! I flashed an updated Radio ROM so I know how to do that. The explanation of BIOS vs. memory was good. I understand now, thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsbj6508:
I'm trying to update clockworkmod to 2.5.0.7 from 1. something. I downloaded the zip file and renamed it to update.zip. I dropped it in the root of my sd card and when I go into recovery I can see Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7. But when I click on a command the screen turns black and nothing happens. Do I need to flash the new update.zip in order for it to work? Also I file 2 files now with update. One is update.zip (the one I just put in sd root) and the other is update. Confused? Any help would be great.

Thanks-

Are you clicking the power button?

Try clicking using the trackpad.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PcFish:
Do you have S-Off? You can just go into rom manager and update it from there. That's how I downgraded from CWM3.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsbj6508:
I do press the power button when I select a action but the screen turns black as if it's opening the next screen. And as for s-off I do not have.

THanks-
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
Right. I had the same problem. Use the trackpad.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsbj6508:

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
No problem.

Yeah I just flashed 2.5.0.7 thru the Rom Manager a few days ago and I thought I had an issue too, haha.

Googled it and found the answer. Glad that it wasn't something that couldn't be worked around :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
I hope someone can help.. I have been having issues downloading 2 updates from the market on my evo4g.. COPILOT LIVE and ANGRY BIRDS.. I tried all suggestions already and nothing has worked... IN CAT LOG it shows this error:

DOWNLOADINGASSETVIEWUPDATER.UPDATEVIEW() ASSET COM.ALK.COPILLOT.MRKET.USA IS IN DOWNLOAD STATE BUT DOWNLOAD FAILED

I also see COULDNT FIND PATHNAME FOR COMPLETED DOWNLOAD URI: CONTENT://DOWNLOADS.DOWNLOAD/687 -- Assuming the download failed

how do I resolve this? other updates and programs work just fine... any help would be appreciated...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
Try unmounting your SD card before trying to download the apps.

Settings->SD & Phone Storage

If that works and you want the apps on your SD card, you can move them from Settings->Applications
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
Tried that and it didnt solve the issue.. I am under the belief that this is an ANDROID MARKET THING and NOT something with my phone..

any other ideas??

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
OK I'm still under the assumption that this is a MARKET ISSUE and NOT my phone... I have a support request into android market but no response yet...

Ive tried everything and these are the ONLY 2 apps that dont download anymore..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bamba1260:
Someone else was having a problem downloading those two same apps. Theres a thread for it, might have an answer there. It was a day or two ago.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
Well, here is what I found out.. IF I uninstall the market update so that I am at the stock market that comes with 2.2 I can download the updates for COPILOT and ANGRY BIRDS.. BUT as soon as the market is updated to the latest version, I cant anymore. why would this happen? I have a support ticket into google to find out why. I tested this by uninstalling the market update and then I was able to download copilot update.. then the market was updated again and I tried ANGRY BIRDS.. NO GO.. SAME ISSUE.. UNINSTALLED the market update again and then was able to download angry birds...

anyone???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
OK some updates on my issue..

Some APPS install and some do NOT. I dont know why.. I can uninstall an APP that wont update and the do a regular install of THAT app and it works. I just did that with FLASH 10.2. it would not update with "update unsuccessful" . BUT I uninstalled it the 10.1 version and then downloaded the 10.2 version from market and all installed. I then downloaded move2sd enabler which downloaded fine.. If I switch it on install all apps to SD card (external), they start to install and some give the unsuccessful message and SOME reboot the phone. If I switch it to INTERNAL, NOTHING installs and right away I get an UNSUCCESSFUL message.. if I put it on AUTO, some install land some do not. Any ideas??

Thanks.. I would think GOOGLE would have posted a fix somewhere since I see my issue all over the ANDROID MARKET FORUM and various other forums...

I just recently flashed CM7 RC1 to my phone to try out some Gingerbread goodness. Overall I like it but i find myself not liking the new Gingerbread keyboard compared to the Froyo one. I tried using Titanium Backup to remove the Gingerbread keyboard and installing the Froyo keyboard apk but that just results in the keyboard FCing constantly. Is the Froyo keyboard just not compatible with Gingerbread or does anyone have any tips to get it working?

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] hannemaster:
Hi there,

I was enjoying my DesireHD with Revolution HD and MultiCultiMod. But I would very much like it if i could modify the launcher buttons(see screenshot). I believe this is inside rosie.apk.

This is what i tried:

- Modified png's in Rosie.apk, put Rosie.apk back in Rom. Flash Rom.

->> Launcher still uses default grey buttons.

- Pushed modified Rosie.apk to phone.

>> Launcher wont load anymore.

- Found and modified same looking png's in com.htc.resources.apk, pushed to phone.(no errors)

>> Nothing happens, still same old buttons.

- put com.htc.resources.apk back in Rom and flash Rom.

>> same buttons. :(

I read that I won't have to re-sign system packages like Rosie and framework, am I right?

what am i doing wrong, and where does android gets its grey button png's if I replaced them all? (ps: I'm not modifying 9.png)

If someone could be of service or help me try update.zip em, I would be very thankfull!

See attachements for my buttons.

THanks! XdA RuLeS!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] capychimp:
try edit them in com.htc.resources.apk in framework instead ;)

I just drag out of the apk the files i want to modify and then replace them inside the apk(open it with 7zip)

That's all...

./tether start 1

otherwise it will not give internet access, even though it broadcast.

any other methods to fix this?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al2x:
I've tried two different ROMs already and got the same problem...

All of a sudden around a month ago I installed Cyanogen nightlies, and they were doing great, some were actually very stable. Lately any ROM I flash, whenever I reboot the phone, the Home and Search buttons cease to function, and the brightness is turned all the way up. This creating absolute chaos out of my ROM. And then I need to reflash something else. But this isn't just like one time, every time I reboot.

I always flash cleanly, wiping data/cache/dalvik and formatting system. WTF is happening?! My incredible legit feels broken, it happens every time :(.

ROOT Busybox Fix

I've also found a fix for the people who have problems with busybox after rooting. Found out that stock firmware already contains busybox in /system/bin. And SOC1.7 adds root busybox to /system/xbin.

So the fix:

mount -o,rw,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
rm /system/bin/busybox
mount -o,ro,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system

Be really careful with rooting and rooting apps, I managed to root my first Ace fine but after messing around a bit with ROM manager my phone got bricked whilst trying to back-up my firmware.

I got lucky that I managed to pull off a story that a factory reset bricked my phone in the store and got a new one.

I doubt others would get that lucky. Just giving you guys a warning and heads up.

Although I doubt that you will get x10 in same price range of Ace, but if so H/w wise it will be far better choice(now it also supports mutlitouch)

But do remember it will never get above 2.1 and ace might get 2.3 ;)

Did you back up your stock rom first before flashing? You may be able to do a recovery if you have a back up rom.

In the first place i wouldn't flash an unfamiliar rom as of this time. What's dell streak anyway?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] AngeloLegend:
Guys, I have a question. I currently own a htc legend and am considering buying the Ace. The hardware differences are not to big, legend has 3.2 inch screen, ace has 3.5. Legend has a 600mhz processor, galaxy ace has an 800mhz one (right?).

Also i know there aren't a lot of roms available for the ace, but thats just because it's a fairly new phone, right? Because I now have a rom with 2.3 gingerbread, a stock froyo rom, a lot of htc sense roms. So do you guys think it's worth the transition? and do you think will get CyanogenMod support later on? thanks.

PS:Congrats to all you Ace owners, I love the design :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adityo16:
I got the replacement phone within a week!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Damnzel:
That's right, it has a 800 mhz processor which feels fairly snappy using the pfone. As far as I know, it is an old model comparable to your legend, which was just overclocked by samsung, making it the very first device OC'd by manufacturer. Given this, there are SOME apps, I mean very few, which do not run on the galaxy ace because they don't support the processor (I don't remember which one it was). Design is really nice and it feels valuable.

Also true, it is quite new on the market and I guess that is why there is less interest in it so far, but the community is growing ;)
