[Nook Color General] yossarian229:
I also use softkeys. Currently I'm set up so that a single press of the N button brings up softkeys. A short press on the softkeys home key takes me to Zeam and a long press takes me to the B&N launcher. Also, a quick double tap of the N button will take me straight to Zeam.

Like one of the other posters said, I don't think that there's an elegant way to place a shortcut on the Zeam home screen. A more "hackish" solution would be to remove the default action for your N button press. That way when you press the N button, it will prompt you to choose either B&N or Zeam.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denavar:
I apologize if this is in the wrong place or has already been answered. I've certainly searched and must have missed it somewhere.

I am currently running the Android Revolution HD ROM, version 2.0.13.

I'd like to upgrade to the latest version which is 2.1. After reading the thread it says to install the newest version I must have either 2.0.15 or 2.0.16 installed first. Once this is done, I simply need to flash 2.1 ontop of one of these versions.

I have two questions regarding this.

A) Does this simply mean boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and hit 'install from ZIP', then choosing the 2.1 ROM .zip?

B) How do I go about installing version 2.0.16 over 2.0.13? Do I need to delete/format all data via ClockworkMod Recovery first or simply 'flash it on top' of 2.0.13, similar to question A?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin0307:
You don't need to install 2.0.15 or 16 if you download the full 2.1 ROM, don't download the 2.1 patch.

A) yes boot into recovery and install from the zip. But make sure you do a backup first just in case.

B) I don't think you need to wipe data to go from 2.0.13 to 16. But you need to flash 2.0.15 first then apply the 2.0.16 performance patch.

Hope it helps ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouds5:
Dont forget to make at least one full restart before flashing the patches to .16 and then another full restart before flashing 2.1 as this is recommended by Mike. Also disable fastboot before flashing patches, it could cause problems like bootloops.

cheers
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denavar:
Well - not long after I posted this thread, Android Revolution HD 3.0 was released.

I assume this is just a full ROM and to install it I simply boot into Clockworkmod Recovery, wipe all my data and then install the ROM from the .zip I place on my SD card.

Is that right?

I'm just in over my head and confusing my self. ):
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
Yes. But Mike has not uploaded the v3.0 yet. He said he has some problems with internet. So just wait until the evening and see what the master says. ;)

[Droid Eris General] spc_hicks09:
Doubtful, it's a lot more work than you think.

Also I just watched the video on that and he never even shows what version of the Android OS he has. Not saying it's a lie, just saying i'm skeptical because he never goes through the settings and shows the Firmware Version or any Software Information for that matter. Could very well just be a rom that's themed to the Honeycomb OS.
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I have faith that every single version of AndroidOS in the foreseeable future will have a compile or port for the Eris, and in relatively quick fashion since devs put a quick compile or port out first just to show that it can be done, and then work to see if they can work out the kinks. I assume that the reason Gingerbread has been developing on the Eris so much faster than Froyo did because some of what was learned from work on Froyo is applicable to GB, as far as getting certain things working: Wifi, BT, Camera...

So, I have no trouble believing that someone will make a Honeycomb ROM for the Eris sometime sooner rather than later; it's just unknown if it'll really be worth it because of all the things that might get "broken" with it on the Eris. Especially since Honeycomb isn't meant for phones at all, just tablets.

I don't know if this is accurate; it's confusing if it is but it's a WIKI so it might not be, but at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) it says that even though Honeycomb is 3.0, that a 2.4 is still planned for April, and that it's only sometime after that, 2.4 and 3.0 will be recombined into Ice-Cream Sandwich about mid-2011.

I further guess that the reason that Google had this split in their Android OS was to get a major new Android OS onto new tablets, but that they won't allow this split to get abused and continued for long at all, so 2.4 will be for phones and then Ice-Cream Sandwhich will probably be for both phones and tablets.
[Streak 5 General] SokRatha:
Dear All experience developers,

I am actually a newbie, If what I said is wrong please correct it, I post this post here because I think it's related to developer rather than others, even it's talking about de-brick.

I have a black DELL STREAK (31800-EU), but because I have done something wrong (fastboot erase system -w, and it hanged at erasing CATCH, and I disconnect the cable and pull-out battery to go to recovery and install .pkg file), it's now seem completely dead with nothing happen no matter what combination key I use (Vol-Up + Vol-Down + Power, Camera + Power, Vol-Up + plug USB cable for QBL) nothing happen for me).

As I go around, I saw the teardown page http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/2, they have mentioned that there is a secondary 2GB microSD used to house the system and data, so DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT WE COULD DE-BRICK MY DELL BY RE-WRITE THIS HOLD 2GB CARD WITH A IMAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS HIS DELL IN WORKING?

Question to all experience developers,

I know all you guys are really strong understading about DELL Streak,

Q1- In the teardown page, they found 2GB microSD + Hynix H8BES0UU0MCR NAND-based MCP, so microSD should be ROM and the Hynix... should be device RAM, isn't it?

Q2- What is a NAND backup means, when you guy used to do it on other Android devices, is it a full backup of device ROM?

Q3- I maybe can try to use 1 of your provided NAND backup file to byte-copy to a new 2GB microSD for test.

Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] chinkostu:
first question, what were you trying to achieve by running that command!

second, could you not push a new image over to it via fastboot? removing it cleared the memory and it seems theres nothing there for it to boot from, so you'd have to try and get the sd card out (does involve tearing the whole thing apart, have done it myself) to see if you can restore anything to it.

Firstly I have owned a G1, and dev just say try to wipe system before you flash new ROM to avoid boot loop, so I just follow it.

Currently, the phone is completely not boot even fastboot or Qualcom Dianostic mode. And that is why I am trying to ask someone if they could byte copy their internal 2G SD for me and I can try to tear my phone out to retore the SD.

Please kindly advide me if I could have other option to retore the SD, I can try to tear my phone out.

Thanks, Ratha

[Streak 5 General] metal1f3:
Have you tried qdltool? I think the os is on the nand not the 2gb internal card, so if its fubar'd I don't think there is a way to fix it. Turn off your streak and hold volume up as you plug it into your computer, if your computer detects it then there may he hope via qdltool. I'm a noob also so take that for what its worth.
[Streak 5 General] sajibcy:
hi, I had very similar prob. but after a sleepless night I found CAMERA button work as power button. so wht I did, press and hold vol up and camera button thn plug the usb in pc. it should bring u diagnostic mode. press and hold camera button thn plug the usb it will bring u fastboot. after just use qdl tool.it work for me. u can try. but the prob is ever since I did tht I always need usb power to start mobile and battery health doesnt show.
[Streak 5 General] Alahdal:
Honestly, above solution is a bit strange but it worth a try please try and confirm. If this does not work then the only solution is to JTAG your device using Riff Box which will resurrect your mobile BUT!! from my experience and others in this forum and other forums your device will not recognize the SIM card any more. Therefore, take care. Once you try Riff Box, please leave a feedback of your experience.
[Streak 5 General] sajibcy:
well i did every tricks but nothing, i order a new battery and a desktop charger. that will be the last things to check.now i cant cus i dont have any spare battery around me. but mobile is working perfect except this prob. and i have warrenty. i just dont send cus i m afraid they will take long time to fix.

2.2 Cricket Zio Audio/Pandora issue

Hello, new to the forums, lurking for a while. I own a cricket zio (unrooted) and waited for the OTA update, and before hand i read a few posts talking about audio issues from people who tethered. When i finally updated, i also heard a few issues of my own. At first i thought it was an overall audio issue, but then realized its a isolated type of issue at least in my case:

1. I first made a phone call, and since have made quite a few. It seems as though the ringing is always distorted in some weird robotic way for some reason now, as it was never like this before 2.2, but the audio quality of the actual phone conversation hasnt changed at all. The distortions of the ringing are the only thing ive heard as far as the phone call quality goes. So im ok with this, just something i noticed.

2. I then immediately checked my pandora quality, and was horrified that it sounded terrible no matter if i had it on high quality in the pandora settings or not. I tried the two different headphones i have, and it was the same on both. I also tried to unplug from the audio jack and wait 5 secs, like suggested in the older audio thread, nothing. I then changed to the last.fm app, and it seemed to be working fine. So im kinda dombfounded as to what the problem is.

3. While listening to mp3s on my SD card, using the stock android audio player, they sounded muffled and low in the same way pandora sounded. I read in another thread about the sound quality issue, someone mentioning poweramp, which i downloaded. Right away i noticed a HUGE difference in the quality, not to mention that this is a great app altogether, so that fixed that issue for me.

If anyone else is having these issues or any similar, myself and im sure quite a few others would like to hear about them so we can possibly find fixes.

thanks.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] beatadalhagen:
Issues, basic hacking

Wipe and re-update phone. First thing off, installed superuser and busybox, copied dump_image &c, began to do partition dumps.

Issue: mount boot partition (mount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /wherever). umount /wherever. Reboot. Get 'invalid boot image header' and put into fastboot. Flash the image dump of boot back on. Reboot.

Kyocera logo is gone, replaced by a white stripe in the approximate logo area.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] beatadalhagen:
Another audio issue is the presence of a faint buzzing hum and intermittent click, at least on the headphone jack. The noise sometimes continues even after the phone is powered down.

Contacts not displaying on incoming calls

Issue: Contact names not displayed when receiving incoming phone calls, only number. Selecting call log after call hang up, numbers change to name after 10-15 seconds.

Method to duplicate: Factory reset, formatted SD card, re-sync with Active sync. Contacts are listed, but do not display on incoming call. Have factory reset & format SD card multiple times. Issue is not isolated, have duplicated on 2 seperate ZIO devices.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
did you sync before unmounting, or alter the boot image in any way?

We had this issue while testing openzios clockworkmod recovery. We would make a backup.zip, and upon restoration of backup.zip, the logo disappeared.

There is something that is not getting copied when the boot image is backed up.

Something to do with the header size we think.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] beatadalhagen:
No, I just mounted and then immediately unmounted the boot partition.

Try backing up your SD media to ur PC (pics, music,etc).

Use titanium backup to backup ur apps,and SMS / mms.

Use Google to backup your contacts .

Format sdcard through your phone.

Perform factory reset.

Restore backed up data to sdcard.

Restore apps, SMS with titanium backup (apk only, not data. You'll have to reprogram ur apps ).

Restore contacts through Google sync.

I've noticed odd bugs with my ringtones through zedge (playing wrong ringtones even though another ringtone was selected).

Formatting my sdcard and thus removing all 1.6 system data remnants from the sdcard solved my problem.

Hope this helps, and report back with results :-)

Out of Network ringing sound

Where I work at is partially under ground so certain parts of the build have little to no signal. I was used to it dropping off network and coming back in when I was running Android 1.6 but since the update to 2.2.1 I noticed something odd. When it drops off network it starts to emit a low ringing sound. It does not stop until I either power cycle the phone or make a phone call. Has anyone else noticed this?

[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Yeah, any app that you wish to run as a system app needs to remain on the phones internal memory.

This includes any launchers, home screen widgets, task killers, cpu tweaking apps, etc...

I even leave my irc client on the internal memory, because the moment you mount the sdcard to ur PC (via usb mode), you'll bork all the apps that are running from your card.
