[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
How do i install the boot animation found in this location http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/54582-droid-x-boot-animation-blue-color-edited-me.html on my samsung captivate running official froyo (KB1). I have flashed the voodoo lagfix injected kernel too. Is the method of copying the bootanimation.zip to /system/media going to work? If it will work then i see two files under /system/media. one is called bootsamsung.qmg and another one called bootsamsungloop.qmg. if i paste the custom bootanimation.zip within this folder without removing these two .qmg files then what will happen? i will see two boot animations after at&t logo? or it will simply not work? Can someone please guide me on this?
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
it will either work, or you wont see the bootanimation.zip, but will instead see the standard boot....
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Then i think i can give it a try...right? i just want to make sure that it won't brick :-)
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
actually it worked...he he
[Fascinate General] m91-30:
can I install superclean, then install the various touchwiz components using titanium?
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
I think I read something to that effect in the op of the superclean thread. However, that may have been for specific apks.

[Fascinate General] euklid:
To my understanding to use the tw widgets you need to have tw launcher..I flashed the whole launcher on sc and the widgets work.
[Fascinate General] m91-30:
yes, you need the launcher, but is there a launcher/app combo package to download, or does it work more like: install the launcher, then install each widget?

[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
Is there a dialer code to check the unlock status like we had on the Samsung Captivate? I just ordered an unlock code from unlock-freedom.com for $9 and when i get it I wanna be able to double check the code and make sure it unlocked...
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
Anyone? I know on the Captivates you dialed *#7465625#

Is there a similar code for the Atrix?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babyschmoof:
I have left some items with their default settings, and want to know if changing them will screw up the nightlies (when they resume)

Does USB debugging, debugging notify and allow mock locations have to be on?

Can the device hostname be changed to be more name friendly on my router?

Under privacy, can I deselect backup my data? I don't want anything stored on google.

Finally there is an option (can't remember where) named run in compatible mode. Is this necessary to be active?

Thanks so much!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
1. No, but its recommended to have usb debugging enabled, in case anything happens

2.Yes, the device host name can be changed.

3.Yes, you can, just remember you de-selected it in case things go missing

4.No, you don't have to have it checked, but having it checked doesn't do any harm.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babyschmoof:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithrewitontheground:
So I flashed the latest CM7 nightly on Sunday, installed from zip. Since then some of my apps have been force closing. Some are google apps like maps, and voice which I need day to day, others like facebook twitter, multiple browsers and engadget. I tried clearing cache, and battery stats as I use different batteries, and fixing permissions. Since then I have flashed CM7 RC 1 and two different MIUI builds, and have had the same problems with those. I haven't installed from titanium backup, just from the market. Any help would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Now even XDA is force closing
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1ghtwish:
I randomly started experiencing a similar problem recently with CM7 RC1... a lot of my apps were randomly force closing including the android core process...

Just now, I decided to wipe and reflash... now I'm having a new issue - the phone is not recognizing the radio.. it says "Baseband version: Unknown"

I can't activate the phone because the second I hit SEND, android.process.acore force closes.

Anyone have any insight?

EDIT: Just wiped and flashed CM7 Nightly build #8 - NO RADIO ISSUES OR FORCE CLOSES SO FAR ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldtymehockey:
I am having similar issues. I am running CM 6.1.0, ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5, and radio 2.15.00.07.28.

I think just about every process has forced close at some point. Frequent offenders are messaging, youtube, and google framework.

Which caches and/or application data should I try clearing?

I am thinking of upgrading to CM7 RC1 but if the corrupted data remains cached will these problems follow me?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luke1987:
Did you wipe dalvik cache? Or possibly try different kernal.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithrewitontheground:
It's back to working at %100 today after flashing CM7 which made my home button not work, then a sense rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldtymehockey:
I have an update on force closes as it pertains to my installation of CM7.

We need to follow the instructions accordingly. What I mean is we need to wipe everything that is suggested in the thread introducing the new ROM.

I couldn't load the new ROM from ROM manager. That is when all the force closes kept happening.

We must go into recovery and format the system, cache, and data from the Mounts and Storage Menu. Then, wipe Dalvik cache, battery stats, cache partition, and data/factory reset. Then install the new .zip from the root of your SD card (Both ROM and Gapps).

This is what worked for me. I have had no force closes since doing things this way.

Also, restore data only from Titanium Backup; else apps revert back to the previous ROM settings.

This may not be exactly the way things are intended by the wonderful developers here but it is what I have found to work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coderedpl:
I read on cyanogen mod forums (thread here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15898-app-force-close-on-cm7-rc1/ )

And it was noted that its a known issue, and that re-installing the app worked, or running fix_permissions in terminal.

I installed fresh CM7 RC1, installed a few apps from market, ran fix_permissions and no force closes so far. Might try out the nightly
[Xoom General] brandonsisco:
I unlocked, flashed rootboot, followed root procedure. All good, root working..

Come back 30 minutes later, hit power button and Xoom powers on and gets stuck at boot screen..

It appears to have crashed when I was away...

I have tried flashing stock boot img and unlocking again..

I can't get past the boot screen..

Someone please help.. I would appreciate it very much..

It's my brothers Xoom and I broke it, eek!
[Xoom General] kntdookoo:
Can you boot up into bootloader (hold vol up and power during power up).
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
Also, try holding vol up + vol down + power until it turns off. then turn back on.
[Xoom General] n64kps:
I'm having the same problem. I can get into the bootloader but where do I go from there?
[Xoom General] Elementix:
You could try this:
[Xoom General] n64kps:
I'm downloading that as we speak. Thanks for the reply! I'll report back with my results
[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Did you just get the WiFi Model from Staples? I did myself. Things appears to be just a tad different. Stuck at the same screen.
[Xoom General] n64kps:
Yeah I did. I think you're right. There's probably stuff for radios that we don't have in the the Wifi only versions. Did you try flashing that Stock SBF?
[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Yeah you're the one that made the video of unboxing ;)

I made a thread here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008780

Doesn't appear to be floating around yet. Gonna exchange mine tomorrow and then grab the boot.img BEFORE I screw it up.
[Xoom General] n64kps:
Haha yeah that's me. Cool, I'll follow that thread too. Thanks for your help
[Xoom General] ke5hde:
Sounds like we're in the same boat. Can't get past the dual core screen now. Computer won't even recognize it anymore. looks like mine might be going back tomorrow too.
[Xoom General] Squeak22:
Just wait. There will probably be a working boot.img up shortly.
[Xoom General] n64kps:
So I tried this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980803

which is pretty clear it's for the Verizon Xoom since it has VZW in the file name but I thought something would be better than nothing.

Using RSD Lite v4.9, I still can't get anything. It's stuck at the boot screen (M logo and Dual Core Technology). I think I screwed the pooch on this one. I hope Staples still has some left when I go back tomorrow to exchange it :O
[Xoom General] ke5hde:
At this point I don't think a stock image is going to help. No way to push it back onto the xoom. It doesn't boot far enough for the computer to even recognize it.

[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Sure it does - you can boot into FastBoot by holding the Vol-Down button at boot.

Then you can do the fastboot flash boot boot.img with the stock boot.img file and you're golden.

Now if you ran the HRI39 restore (like n64kps) you will need the system.img and everything else.
[Xoom General] ke5hde:
I did already try to reboot into fastboot but the computer doesn't even know the xoom is plugged in.
[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Then you have other issues - I had no issues there. (I am on a Mac running ./fastboot-mac
[Xoom General] ke5hde:
Well Staples opens at 9 so I'm on my way to HOPEFULLY do an exchange.
[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Yep!! I have an hour and a half before I can exchange mine.

After that we need to learn a few things - like pulling the system, boot, etc files BEFORE screwing them up LOL!
[Xoom General] ke5hde:
Ok. Returned it and they wouldn't let me have the replacement till tomorrow. Said she got yelled at for selling it last night. So 11am tomorrow I can pick it back up.

[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Well crap - perhaps I'll have better luck ;)
[Xoom General] PengLord:
In other words, you should have held onto it and continued to work on unbricking it?
[Xoom General] ke5hde:
No big deal. I can wait another day. I also returned the crappy portfolio case from moto. Can't charge the xoom with the case unless you leave it open and cheap construction. Ended up picking up a netbook sleeve instead.

[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
Its starting to look like those that paid the extra $200.00 for the 3G model, are going to be the lucky xoom owners!
[Xoom General] ericdabbs:
I wouldn't say lucky. Its just that nobody really anticipated that the wifi only version of the xoom would contain slightly different software compared to the wifi+3g version.

It will only be a matter of time before someone will create a fix to unlock the bootloader to root the xoom as well as come up with an appropriate kernel to overclock the wifi xooms.

For the time being I would hold off on unlocking, rooting, and applying the overclock kernel to the wifi xooms.
[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
As a owner of a 3G model I wish you WYFI folks good luck!
[Xoom General] Bazar617:
Since they were bricked, that means you were still able to screw around with the system files, right? So not all hope is lost, are they still going to be able to be rooted? I returned the 3G to save 200 when I picked up the wifi tomorrow, but I don't want to get it if its not able to be rooted...
[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
This problem is showing up all over the web! people are heading to the stores to return their bricked WYFI models. I hope someone figures out how to fix this fast!. I fear if too many are returned to stores soft bricked the stores might get smart and stop takeing returns on xooms in this condition!. I am hanging on to my 3G model thats for sure!. Sometimes you get what you paid for.
[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Won't take Staples long to put out it out in the Manager's Playbook. Probably by Sunday when they officially launch.
[Xoom General] ke5hde:
I agree. My replacement is sitting at the from desk so I just need to "officially" pick it back up in the morning.

[Xoom General] PengLord:
Honestly, everyone here knows the risks when they root and mod their devices. If you can't afford to throw away $600, don't be the first to try loading a ROM. This fiasco may cause problems for those of us that might have legitimate issues and need to return their Xooms.
[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
You know people will do it anyway! some can be hard headed.
[Xoom General] n64kps:
I was able to exchange my Xoom this morning at the same Staples no problems whatsoever. In and out within 3 minutes. Now I have a stock Xoom that works and I'll wait for the devs to root this one :)

Thanks to Xaositek and ke5hde for your help in this matter!
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
Bastard, I'm not even on my first Xoom yet :(
[Xoom General] n64kps:
haha, sorry! I felt bad for rendering a Xoom useless since there's a lot of people that want them but I look at it as utilizing it for the good of Development!
[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Don't thank me yet!! I am not developer. But I am trying my hardest to do something worthwhile.
[Xoom General] n64kps:
Well you helped me confirm my suspicions. It was a little bit comforting knowing that it wasn't just me that messed something up! :)
[Xoom General] graffixnyc:
When mine gets delievered from bestbuy I will try to extract the boot image. I did it for the streak 7 when I ported over clockwork recovery. I wont be the first to try to root although I will at least unlock the boot loader for now. Lol Once I get the device I will see if I can extract the boot image. Finding it was a pain in the ass on the streak 7 because they don't put book and recovery in the same partitions that most do (mtd or emmc)

Hopefully best buy starts to ship them monday.
[Xoom General] Chickenbutt20:
so you just go to the staples, ask for an exchange and thats it? I would assume they would check to see if everything is okay and stuff.

I'm going to wait till tomorrow to see if theres a fix. If not I guess I'll try to return mine and exchange it for another.
[Xoom General] n64kps:
I went in shortly after they opened, talked to the manager, showed him the problem, he apologized and immediately went to grab a new one for me. Mine was stuck on the boot screen and I demonstrated that pressing the power button didn't do anything (playing n00b by not pressing power button in combination with the volume buttons, although that didn't do anything to remedy the problem).
[Xoom General] Chickenbutt20:
Yeah they didnt get suspicious when it says the fastboot thing though? I'll probably go tonight and ask if they can exchange it. Btw, can you do an exchange at any staples?
[Xoom General] n64kps:
I didn't have it stuck on the fastboot screen. If you press vol up + power it will reboot like normal but then just stick there. So that's how I brought it in. I don't know about exchanging it at any Staples. Since it is still a day before official launch, I went back to the same place I got it yesterday since I knew they'd do it for me
[Xoom General] Chickenbutt20:
Hm... hopefully I can exchange it another cause the one I went to the manager was upset that I didn't buy his "protection plan" lol. He might just spit back that its my fault etc etc...
[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
Dont worry they will sell you his returned xoom!
[Xoom General] Squeak22:
Just wanted to say that you guys who are returning your xooms after you screwed them up are douchbags.

can someone help me? the whole thing happened because i wanted to apply this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997434&nocache=1

thank you in advance...
[Xoom General] Winesnob:
There are instructions in the referenced post regarding what you should do if stuck on the dual core screen - did you try this remedy? Sounds like you're missing a boot image, which is why the device is stuck. Only way back is through fastboot.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
I am trying to root my (my wife's) NC and I have on 1.0.1.

I am using WinImage and following the instructions.

When I get to the part where I select "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image on physical drive", I do that but in the box where I am supposed "to select a physical drive from the list"... I have nothing in the box to choose from.

I did the previous step in choosing my SD Card but for some reason when I go to the Restore part, there is no drive for me to choose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bawb3:
Next to the file name box, theres a dropdown menu where you select the file format it looks for. Select "All Files *.*"

That should show the autonooter file you downloaded after you navigate to the directory you have it in.

You can also try win32 diskimager this is the program I used when I first started out, I feel its easier to use at first anyways....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
I have no problem finding the file. I am having a problem finding "the physical drive from the list" when selecting "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image on physical drive".
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
Thanks. I tried to watch that but I cannot even read the screen to be able to see what they are doing. lol It is very blurry.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
My problem is I am not sure what exactly I am supposed to be doing and why. I am just following the directions line by line. If I am putting the "auto-nooter-2.12.25.img" file on my SDcard, can't I just copy it to my SD card (drag and drop)?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
I should have explained better. I can't even get to the step to select all files because there are no physical drives for me to select in order to get to that point.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jgrimoldy:
I know what you're thinking about just putting the .img file onto the SD card and calling it a day. The thing is that the .img file is an image of an entire, carefully configured, SD card.

This includes the boot sectors, etc. The author of the .img file took the time to make everything perfect on his SD card and then "zipped" it all together into a .img. When you use a tool like, say, Win Disk Imager, you will be "unzipping" the .img file to the SD card, effectively making it a clone of the original source card. The process of applying the .img file to your SD card is, of course, a destructive process. Anything on that card will go bye-bye.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
I was also having similar issues...if I remember correctly, right clicking and running as administrator might help. Good luck...I hope it works. No guarantees haha.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
I just copied the file using Win Disk Imager and it seemed to be a lot easier. Just select the file to copy, select the SD Card drive and click write... it renamed the SD Card to AutoNooter2 so I believe it worked. I will find out soon enough. lol
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
Yea, that worked. I needed to run the program as Admin. But I also did it using Win Disk Imager and it was easier. HA!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
HELP! lol

It seems everything is working but now it is asking me to compose using "HOME" or "Soft Keys". I am not sure which one to select. Help please! :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
Just select Home. This is the launcher default you are choosing to use. Choose the regular Home launcher and make sure the app SoftKeys is running afterwards (it's in the app drawer). This SoftKeys app is a little button that activates virtual home, back, search, and menu buttons on-screen.

Also, check default when you choose Home, so it stops asking you.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoticov:
Thanks, that was very helpful!

One other question... when I download aps they don't show on the screen with my gmail, you tube (which won't work by the way. lol) and other shortcuts. Is it possible for me to put them there?

[Galaxy Tab General] maxxedmk:
I have been using Skype version 1.0.0.538.

I have noticed that whenever you put the Galaxy Tab to sleep for more than 5 mins or so, it turns off Skype in the running applications. But whenever I drag down the notifications, it shows the Skype symbol, and says Skype Signed in.

What I want to know, is there a rom, or fix, or something that can make certain apps sleep when you turn off display and others not to sleep. Or just a fix for Skype not to sleep.

It gets rather annoying to miss a call and to get on my computer to check voicemail.
[Galaxy Tab General] smaragdhk:
Is your tab's wifi set to go to sleep after a certain time? Perhaps that's why it disconnects... Unless of course you're using data instead...
