[Windows Phone 7 General] xpunksbeendeadx:
Take the plunge. Honestly also it doesn't look like any new super phones are coming out anytime soon so you shouldn't be worried about your phone becoming outdated relatively soon.

Oh and the DVP is one sexy device, when it works. Like others said, be aware of its problems. Also on jumping ship to AT&T, I don't think I would. I have their flagship WP7 device, the Samsung Focus, and it drives me crazy as a phone. Feels really cheap which does not mix with my gadget perfection OCD, heck if you press hard enough on it on certain parts of the phone you can hear the plastic creak!

So I say join us in the WP7 pool, the waters just fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negroplasty:
The title says it all, anyone experiencing similar issues ?

Running 2.3.3 thru manual updates with a stock recovery, then after everything was done I fastboot flashed amon RA's recovery and it keeps getting replaced with the stock recovery :confused: ... Not quite sure when it's doing it, working on that now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Not sure, but I think this will happen as long as you're not rooted?

Stock 2.2 did the same thing to me...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negroplasty:
I'm rooted via flashing Superuser zip from ChainsDD...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Hmmm...yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about lol.

Seems like there was some kind of fix for this in 2.2 though...maybe Superboot? Maybe that's why I'm thinking it has to do with rooting? Think something has to change in boot.img?

EDIT: Have you tried using the rooted stock ROM in the dev section?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:
If you are upgrading to a non-modified stock rom, it will overwrite your custom recovery.

You need to flash a rooted stock rom to keep your custom recovery.

Edit: Oh and you need an unlocked bootloader to fastboot a custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negroplasty:
Thanks for your help guys, I guess I'll just flash one of the stock but rooted roms now that they're available... Don't know why I thought that would work come to think about it, it was hopeful thinking at best lol...

Thanks again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Just look up how to stop this from happening on stock froyo roms.

A bone stock rom with just root will do the same thing that your current rom is doing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
That is because there are two files in a stock ROM (/system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh) that flash the stock recovery every boot. You need to delete (or rename) those two files after flashing a stock ROM, and then re-flash your custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxwolfe:
If you don't mind my asking what are the commands I can use to delete these files? I'm in the process of looking up how to do this but wanted to ask as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
The easiest way would be to use Root Explorer, mount the /system partition as r/w, navigate to each of the two directories, long-press on the files and click delete.

Or you can do it in a terminal emulator: open a terminal and type the following commands:

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Just flash this from recovery...

http://db.tt/cp7De8G
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Only the shell script has to be deleted. I'm not sure why everyone includes the other file as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Not sure. The reason I do is because those are the two files that are added every time there is an update. Hence those are the two files I delete...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
What's the value in keeping the other file?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
None really. It just seems weird to arbitrarily delete a file that does nothing on its own.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Because it's bloat. Those are the two files used to reflash the stock recovery on each and every boot. They have no other purpose. Why keep one? Or the other? Why not just get rid of them both?
[Xoom General] roflha:
So maybe this is a good idea, maybe not. But I have several questions for Xoom owners and thought I would ask them and create a thread for questions.

(Note: I do not have one)

Ok so some questions....

-How many points of multi-touch?

-Any freezing issues?

-Build quality: does it feel sturdy?

-If you have any cases, which and are they good?
[Xoom General] keitht:
1. I believe 5 point

2. No freezing yet and actually, not even a force close.

3. It feels very sturdy to me. It might be the weight that makes it feel that way though.

4. No case yet.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
About 8 points of multitouch as tested on multitouch visualised app.

No freezing issues from the time I pick it up till now.

The build quality is awesome. Feels good in the hand. A little heavy though but I like it. Its better than using plastic. Very well built. I have tried getting the buttons to be stuck like some reviewers said.

I bought the xoom along with the portfolio case from motorola and man they're so nice together.

Bonus: the keyboard has big letters makes it fairly to use. Plus the battery on this damn thing is awesome. It just doesn't wanna die lol. But there's one drawback as far as I've discovered: the speakers are a little distorted when put on highest volume. Just one notch down would be fine.
[Xoom General] roflha:
Well thank you all. Very useful.

Final Question: I was playing with one at best buy and it kept FC'ing somehing called "My Apps" but it would do this even when it was just sitting idly at the launcher.

Any clue what that may have been?

My thoughts were it may have been because it was no synced to a Google account or that somebody took the time to root it apparently because Rom Manager was installed on it... which I thought was a bit odd for a demo model.
[Xoom General] Ballzdeeep:
ROM Manager installed when I set up with the same account my OG Droid is on. Can't use it, because I'm waiting for the MicroSD and 4G update to be done before I root.
[Xoom General] mrmomoman:
No problems so far. Still tweaking some. I use mostly in landscape so I setup pages for landscape mode. Been great.
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
The one thing i was experiencing when messing around with one at Best Buy was that it would FC what ever I was in at the time to start up the Verizon loaded demo app. It would close down what I was doing and start it up. My guess to like set a set amount of time for users to test out the xoom.

Solution?

I just went and uninstalled that stupid thing :)

Then I was able to use the xoom without any issue.

Now just to wait for the iPad 2 conference to end to see what they are bringing to the table. Although it would have to be something crazy with the iOS as I have heard they aren't planning much in the way of changes to the hardware. I'm seeing the hardware upgrades being equivalent to the jump from iPhone 3G to 3GS
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
Points of multitouch? I'm assuming some sort of technical question here, but as far as I can tell accuracy is better than what my finger can manage... i.e. maybe this matters with stylus type applications.

No freezing, ever.

Feels study.

No case, trying to find the stock Verizon portfolio to decide if I want it, so far sold out everywhere locally, I am carrying it around in a cheap but well cushioned HP zippered pouch that is perfectly sized I found at WalMart.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btyking:
So I'm pretty sure that I used unrevoked1, and have never taken an OTA or anything, and just flashed custom ROMS ever since.

My specs were this:

Hardware 0002

S-ON

HBOOT 0.79.0000

Radio 1.39.00.05.13 I think

I was on myn's 2.2 RLS4 with HTC #17

Things were working good, with GREAT battery life, but I couldn't get 4G in Kansas City. I checked around for a tutorial on the RSAKeys, and I DO still have them.

So I want to go S-OFF, but my Radio is not supported with unrevoked forever, so I flash a radio update through CWM without clearing any caches or data, and now I get stuck on the "HTC EVO 4g" screen. try to reboot, no dice. try to restore to my backup, no dice. In the stock bootloader I see that the radio is the one that I flashed, but I htink something is wrong with the compatibility of something else that I have going on.

I have never done anything in a shell or adb.... still kinda n00bish.

what is wrong, and what is my fix?

My guess is that I need to take out my SD and put the other update ZIPS on it to make things compatible.

HELP!

XDA Rocks.. ;)

Btyking
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
Dear XDA World,

I have just recently rooted my phone using the superoneclick root on my 2.2 Froyo Vibrant after a good month of research. Currently, I am running Eugene's R2 Final Gingerbread ROM, and I love it; it is very stable and intricately in tune with the Vibrant's functionality. Now, my problem currently is flashing to a voodoo lag fix (frustrating as hell). Anyway, I have tried the JL4 voodoo. zip, because that is what this ROM is closest to, I believe. When I copied to SD card, and went into clockwork recovery to install, it failed, saying, "installation failed," or something similar to that. I thought that voodoo wasn't working for some reason, so I tried to flash Nero v3's ROM: same outcome. If anyone would take time to help out a new user, I would very much appreciate the help. I wish to put voodoo lag fix on this R2 ROM, to be clear. Please be descriptive.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
please redownload the kernel and reflash.
[Vibrant General] bellrb19:
You need to make sure the zip is on the internal sdcard. This could be your issue.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
u are wrong if kernel was on his external sd and since clockwork dont mount external sd he cant even acces it so its imposible to flash something that is on your external card.
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
Bartek, more specific, please.

And yes, I'm certain it's on my internal... Haha.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
R E D O W N L O A D the file again and R E F L A S H , that is specific enough for You ? :))
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
I have done that before. Same outcome.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
dude .when you went to clockwork to flash does it say installation failed or signature verification failed ? something like that didnt expain what your problem was
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
Yeah, read my first post again, I said it says "installation failed" and said it was aborting. This was all in clockwork.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
lol redownload the file again , reflash , or can you download anyother kernel instead of voodoo 4 and try ? or odin back to stock JfD with pit file and chceck repartition or if anyone knows better ............please post .
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
You sould really make sure the zip package is ZIP package not TAR package too, ZIP=CLOCKWORK, TAR=ODIN ,
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
I don't use Odin, man. It's a .zip package; example: I am rooted using R2 Gingerbread .zip. Can I not voodoo because I am missing a script or have the wrong kind? I've seen this in a few forums.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
Oh and another thing is make sure u have enough room on internal sd about 1gb or more
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
why wont you flash DEAD HORSE BY EUGENE since GINGER R2 is released by EUGENE and DEAD HORSE is released by EUGENE also they fit like glowe , and you get ext 4 or JFS whichever u prefer .
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
That sounds like a good idea. What kernal of Dead Horse should I get? Does it matter in regards to compatibility?
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
A link would be wonderful. Haha.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
i cant recomend anything because , i cant because .... it mit wipe your internal sd but http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=samsungsgs&thread=28&page=1#916 is the latest and safest before flashing read the thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936928
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
Good deal. I will look into that today. Thank you.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
cool , np .
[Vibrant General] KellerLambert17:
Just looking around in thread, no video recording using this kernal, Bartek?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeatyCoins:
Any one have a vote for the best kernel to use on a sense rom ?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
Ya try Faux's stock kernel and if you have issue use Gr8grollia's v0.5 as thats the mother of all stable kernel.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
How are emulators such as snesoid, gameboid, and psx4droid running on this? psx4droid or the other PS1 emulator running a lot better due to Tegra? Mine shipped today and will be here tomorrow and I'm just wondering...thanks!
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
FPSE is out for PSX emulation - it has worked well for Notion Ink Adam owners so far.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Yeah that's the one I meant. I've been playing around with it on my Droid X and it runs so much better than psx4droid. Do the emulators scale to the screen normally?
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
I havent personally tried yet as im waiting for my notion ink, but my friend has and says it works really well - you can choose the scaling in the options
[Xoom General] randytheshiv:
awesome!

i just tried out pokemon fire red on gameboid. its hilarious to see it so big. lol. but it works great. scaling sound and controls are perfect.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Amazing lol

Bluetooth Wiimote controller app still work as well? I'll end up using this as a damn portable >_<

Any word on that nullDC Dreamcast emu port? Should run a hell of a lot better on this beast!
[Xoom General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Emulators are working great! Fullscreen and everything.
[Xoom General] randytheshiv:
hmm i havent tried the wiimote just yet. i'm mid homework so ill give that a run in a few. ive never beleived in touch screen emulation other that games like pokemon or yugioh card games because movement isn't all that important. i cant imagine trying to run something like god of war without physical buttons.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Would anyone be kind enough to post a pic of their Xoom running snesoid, or any other emulator in 16:9 full screen/4:3 fullscreen? Mine was just delivered at my house but I'm stuck at work for another 6 hours...kill me. Thanks!
[Xoom General] khov07:
Feast your eyes...
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
God...you're KILLING me now! lol Looks great, thanks so much!
[Xoom General] khov07:
Gensoid works perfectly as well. I haven't tried any other generation emulator yet (NES, PS1, etc).
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Yeah SNESoid and Gensoid are the top two I would use anyway (born in late 80s lol). It'll be interesting to see that nullDC (Dreamcast emu port) running on this. I know someone has it semi-running on some older hardware and it should run pretty decent on this.

n64droid is also right around the corner...who needs apps? XD
[Xoom General] socomdark:
i havent got an emulator yet and might with the xoom since it seems perfect for this kind of thing. Do you have to buy games once you get the emulator or do the games come with them? my xoom comes in today, its already in the city im just waiting for delivery
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
You have to find a site that you can download them from, not mentioning any since it might be against the rules here. I mean, there are apps where you can pay for a pack of roms, but it's just a total rip off.

I actually do own all the games (even the old carts) that I download roms for though, so I'm 100% safe either way =P
[Xoom General] socomdark:
alright thanks for the info. Im pretty good at searching so im pretty sure i can find them. They dont have to be android specific right?
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Nope, not specific. Only specific thing is the emulator per platform. I suggest trying out snesoid lite before buying to make sure everything goes good. ;)
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Can you use the wiimote with the xoom?
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
Hitting the shoulder buttons looks like it would be a *****. Other than that, looks great!
[Xoom General] NeutronBomb:
Just buy RomBuddy from the market. Works great, you pay a couple bucks for RomBuddy but then you can download a metric **** ton of free roms for gameboy/nes/snes/genesis and such from it.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
The L and R buttons aren't convenient, but maybe he'll have an update soon with tablet-friendly layouts. NESoid should work perfectly since there's only a few buttons.

I'd like to see some video of this.
[Xoom General] khov07:
Well, I can say that the L and R button placements do suck, but I have long fingers. I believe there are other button layouts, I'll have to fudge with it so that it's proper for the screen size.

The games run perfectly smooth, no jitter or sound hiccups whatsoever.

Someone mentioned how to find ROMS earlier - beware, lots of those sites are bogus, or spread virus-laden files. Be sure to scan anything you download.

There's a site I have reliably used, but won't post here. I think I'm safe if you PM me. ***This assumes you own the original cartridges, of course*** (don't we all?)
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Or you can just use the ROM Gripper app that is linked in SNESoid, Gameboid, and NESoid. It's also in the market.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Yeah, I'll be using my Wiimote/Classic Controller Input Method via Bluetooth.

Any word on how the PS1 emulators are running on this?
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I think you're confusing ROM Gripper with Game Gripper. Two different things.

ROM Gripper is an app for downloading ROMS directly to your SD card (or, in the case of the XOOM, internal storage...for now)
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
I actually meant the Wiimote app where you can connect a Wiimote to your phone/tablet through Bluetooth and use that as a controller. It even works with the extensions like the Nunchuk/Classic Controller.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mercury.inputmethod.wpad&feature=search_result

Works perfect if you know what you're doing (ignore the bad reviewers that don't know how to change their input method lol)
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Gotcha.

I tried the wiimote thing with my Droid and it was fun, but couldn't see myself carrying around a wiimote everywhere. Maybe fore the XOOM, though.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Yeah, with the phone it's a pain, but if you're already lugging around the Xoom I guess it's not much extra lol
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
Since you guys are using the Wiimote, you may be able to help. I can get mine to connect, the d-pad works and the B button, but the rest don't seem to do anything. Any help on what to do in settings?
[Xoom General] neonerz:
I can't seem to get any of these emulators (nesoid, snesoid, gensoid) to work with the wii remote on the Xoom. Outside a game, the wiimote works, but once I try to control a game, nothing happens. It even works inside the settings of the emulator, but not in the actual game.
[Xoom General] Alpha Axl:
Did you change your input method? Try restarting the emulator after connecting too.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
What I am hoping for is once the USB host mechanics get worked out, we could (perhaps) simply plug usb-adapted classic controllers right into the bottom of this crazy bastard.
[Xoom General] fob burt:
I hooked up two wii controllers and I can't seem to play with them at the same time but works well when taking turns. I'm sure it can be all mapped out though. Anyone done that yet?
