[HTC Inspire 4G] DonS:
I installed ES File Explorer and I cannot seem to enable Root Explorer. When I select that option it prompts for what ROM I'm using and gives me the options for Cyanogen Mod or HiAPK. I'm using a rooted stock ROM and neither of those two options seem to work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Hmm I use Android Revolution (currently using 4.0, but this has worked on all earlier versions as well) and choose HiAPK and it works without issue.

Here's the adb commands you should be using, if you wanna try it this way (again I'm no adb expert, I found these with a quick google):

Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where adb is installed (usually sdk\tools), then enter the following commands, 1 at a time)

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

adb pull /system/app/Mail.apk Mail.apk (this should pull it out of system/app and put in in sdk\tools)

adb push /{path to file}/filename /system/app (if the .apk is in sdk\tools, it would be "adb push /Email.apk /system/app")

Edit: I might be making this more difficult than it needs to be. You might be able to just delete your accounts from the current mail app, sideload this email.apk, then setup your accounts using this mail app. I don't know what happens with 2 mail apps (i.e. does one automatically overtake the other, or do you get duplicates?), but maybe it's worth a shot
[HTC Inspire 4G] DonS:
This doesn't seem to work for me.

Here is what happens.

The first command 'adb shell' returns 'adb: premission denied'

So then I did the SU command to grant Terminal superuser. Superuser was granted. I tried 'adb shell' again and I got 'adb: not found'

I tried the mount command to mount /system as RW and it failed with the message

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Oh you're using Terminal...I was talking about using adb from a command prompt on your computer (even so, I may have still given you bad commands cause I haven't actually done it this way).

Hey man I don't mean to be rude, but I'm going to stop suggesting terminal/adb commands, as I'm not 100% sure what they do and I don't want to suggest something that breaks you. Have you tried Root Explorer? This is a file explorer that will only let you see your system files, but it gives you a nice little "Mount R/W" button that will mount the file system. Unfortunately you can't browse your SD card, so you won't be able to copy/paste the new .apk through Root Explorer, but you can at least rename/remove the old mail.apk, then continue trying to push email.apk (google is going to be a much better instructor than me at this point for push commands)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DonS:
Until today I didn't know you could do commands from your computer. I just downloaded and installed the Android SDK, so I now have the Windows adb.exe command to try from my computer.

I tried using Root Explorer. I can mount / as r/w, but I cannot mount /system or /system/app as r/w.

I also installed the Android Central Side Load Wonder Machine. I used the command line adb to pull a copy of the original Mail.apk from HTC as a backup. I then tried to install the generic Mail.apk from Android 2.2 with the AC_SWM. It appeared to work, but I noticed that the file size didn't change. The HTC Mail.apk is 763K and the generic version is 600K. I tried the option in AC_SWM to update an existing app and it didn't update it either.

I'm pretty confident that if I can get the original file renamed or deleted I can get the generic version installed. I'll keep reading up on adb commands.

If anyone knows how to remove an app from /system/app on a rooted stock Inspire ROM, please let us know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] naplesbill:
If you have root, just search for "Mount /system (rw/ro)" in the market. This app can make /system rw and it even has the option to set it rw at boot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DonS:
I installed that app and it fails to mount /system as r/w. When I click the button to mount /system as r/w I get an error.

Sorry

The application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

(With a button for Force Close)
[HTC Inspire 4G] naplesbill:
There is a bug in superuser. Just open superuser a few times in a row and it will probably work. Otherwise, there is a thread (somewhere here) with a patched superuser.apk file that should resolve that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DonS:
Patch for Superuser

I found the thread!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886999

I installed that patch and Superuser now works like it should. I can mount /system as r/w.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
It would be superuser's fault. Glad you got it straightened out!
[HTC Inspire 4G] DonS:
I finally got the generic email application from Android 2.2 installed and sure enough, Hotmail works as an Exchange ActiveSync account.

I do think the HTC mail application looked much nicer. It was easier to switch between accounts. When you went into a message you had up and down arrows for the next and previous messages. With the generic mail application you have to use the back arrow key to go back to the inbox and select another message.

I wish there was a way to change the fonts for the inbox. The read messages are gray on black and are hard to read.

Overall this was a great learning experience for me. I understand a lot more about Android and I fixed the superuser issue that I didn't even know I had.

I'll stick with this verision of the mail program. I'll take the functionality trade-off over the nicer look and feel of the HTC app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alexdogg:
Got HTC mail to work with Hotmail/exchange.. avoided Failed to create the account

so i got past the account name screen what i did is i just replaced the mail.apk thats in system/app on my EVO 4G with another one from a rom i had in my hard drive

copy attached mail.apk to sdcard root

open ES explorer and go to settings to enable root explorer and file system

go to mail.apk in sdcard and hold tap to edit then copy

now go to system/app and find mail.apk thats already installed, hold and rename to mail.bak (or whatever)

then just tap and hold to copy the new mail.apk and reboot

it worked for me.. hope it works for you
[HTC Inspire 4G] side808:
this worked for me
[HTC Inspire 4G] aeneas3:
not that this solves your hotmail problem per se but an option is to forward your hotmail to a gmail account. i decided to make the switch and have not looked back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DonS:
I think I will do that. I'll just use Gmail from now on instead of Hotmail.
[Droid 2 Global General] hijklll:
I rooted using z4root & installed recovery using Koush's Droid 2 bootstrap with hopes of trying out Liberty before Fission.

Everything seemed to be going well, I backed up, wiped data/cache, flashed Liberty, and booted into it. No signal or leds, so I decided to go with Fission.

So I installed the Droid 2 Bootstrap app in Liberty in order to reboot into recovery, wiped data/cache, and flashed Fission. But when I went to reboot, I still had the Liberty splash screen. So somehow I figured out how to boot back into clockwork, I think I booted into stock recovery by holding X, (maybe wiped data/cache in there), and then hit reboot from there. But this hasn't gotten me to clockwork subsequently.

This time, I tried wiping all the mounts (boot/system/data/cache) as well as fact.reset/cache before flashing Fission.

Still, I get the Liberty splash.

Now, I think my battery won't charge.

Is there any way to restore my backup without a new battery? Even if i do get a new one, how am I going to boot into clockwork to restore my backup?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Word is once you've gone Liberty, way out is first SBF then anything else. Make sure you don't play with the phone too much as battery will die and you cannot SBF.
[Droid 2 Global General] hijklll:
Like I said, my battery is already dead.

Is there no way to SBF without a charged battery? Can't I just plug it into the wall?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
There is. But is a bit scary. You can jump the battery via the USB port using usb cable to provide power for the flashing. Few people have done it, it works. But you better buy a 10 bucks desktop charger for Motorola BP6X batteries and recharge the battery. If you aren't tech savvy I do not recommend you to try the USB power jump start method...

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
[Droid 2 Global General] hijklll:
That's what I've done. Now I'm just waiting for it to charge.

Now the question is will I be able to get into Clockwork Recovery, or will I have to RSD/SBF?
[Droid 2 Global General] -Gilgamesh-:
Depends on what the issue was exactly that was keeping you out of clockwork. In my experance, if I yanked the battery while it was still on the moto logo, when I booted back it would boot directly into clockwork. However, if you've already whiped all mounts, your only option may be to sbf anyway.
[Droid 2 Global General] blakzer0:
I had the same problem with the battery. What worked for me was to plug the phone in via USB while holding x to boot into the recovery. I let it sit and charge slowly for about an hour or so. After that I was able to boot without my battery losing charge.

If this does not work I suggest buying any usb wall charger / car charger and charging your phone with that.

Good luck.
[Droid 2 Global General] hijklll:
Dang, should have tried that before I bought a battery charger. Oh well.
[LG Optimus 2x] pesho00:
Optimus 2x was announced on 16-th dec 2010 and now in mar 2011 is NOT AVAILABLE!!!

Same is true for the rest - Atrix, Samsung G2...

Paper anouncments, with Mont's of NO availability???
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
2x is already available in s korea.

atrix was announced at ces and is already available in the us.

sgs2 was just announced 2-3 weeks ago at mwc. Recent rumors say it might be available march-april.

So i dont know what youre talking about.
[LG Optimus 2x] pesho00:
I am talking about - announce and availability. Take for example Videocards - Nvidia announcing 580 (for example) and it is available in a week.

Optimus is available in Korea - great, but i am living in EU:(

Never mind, obviously i should stop reading announcements other than from stores;)
[LG Optimus 2x] drleospaceman:
Precisely my thoughts. I'm getting jealous of Apple users who get their device a week after announcement. It is extremely annoying when Samsung announces a phone like the Infuse two months ago and doesn't speak a word of it since, with no release date in sight.
[LG Optimus 2x] stefan.buddle:
Just wait to be spoon fed information from local sources, easy as pie
[LG Optimus 2x] aze2:

[LG Optimus 2x] Kinma:

[LG Optimus 2x] SKyLiNe1980:
thats called hyping :p

And indeed its available now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] pesho00:
I am happy for those of You having it available in their regions. Unfortunately here earliest dated quoted is 21-th of march and i am not sure it will be met:(

Look at apple (i don like their product, but should admit their trend setting abilities) - announce on 2-nd mar - availability on 11-th!
[LG Optimus 2x] FPRobber:
I know it's not fun having to wait, but I would rather have to wait a few months for a phone instead of buying a current generation phone a month before the next generation is released. Knowing which phones will be released in the near and far future makes it much easier to decide when to buy a new phone. The improvement they should make is make the release dates clearer. I still don't know when the Galaxy S2 or 2X will finally be released.
[LG Optimus 2x] pesho00:
I am in Sales for years (not mobile phones;)). And i know that premature (paper) announcements are KILLING Sales! Now Everybody waiting 2 core phones (enthusiast at least :)) and i am pretty positive sales of High end today devices suffer!

This is why i rose this topic -

1. They annoy people of boredom waiting;)

2. They slow todays phones sales (losing money???)

What's the thinking????
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
There's something to be said for building hype. And besides, in this day and age, with FCC and all kinds of other internet leaks being 100% inevitable, you might as well announce your product in advance as everyone is going to know about it anyway.

When I launch Samsung apps it says update available. I tried to install it and it says installation unsuccessful. Anyone has the same problem? What is this samsungapps.una do? Anyone knows?

Running modaco r1 rom with richardtrip's kernel.
[Galaxy Tab General] kay_kiat88:
Bump!

[Galaxy Tab General] symbarowski:
Am having the same problem also..

When the tab tries to update samsung apps it downloads new versions of the samsungapps.apk and the samsungapps.una.apk to /data/apps folder. Both apps install manually but on launch samsung apps still wants to upodate the una.apk.

I assume its a r/w rights issue with the modaco rom but have so far failed in my attempts to sort it...

Hope someone has the answer to this!

Its your csc code.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a7xsoad:
Hello, I have been using this app with the mytouch 4g and I am able to walk into the stores and collect points relatively easy, but when I use my girlfriend's phone ( Nexus One) to collect points, it always tells me that the phone doesn't support shopkick's signal. Because of this I can never get any points for walking into stores with her phone.

I can scan items and get points for that, but it never registers that I am inside the store. I have tried both phones at the same time, first hers and then mine. The nexus one didn't get any points, but as soon as I switched over to my phone I instantly picked up the signal.

So, is this due to the radio or something? She really likes this app but is debating whether to sell it and get another one because of this app. I have the phone rooted running on cm 7. So flashing isn't an issue for me, but I wonder if anyone else is getting the same experiences?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bryce2010:
Is anyone using a battery icon meta-morph that works with GB? I'm using the same one I've been using since CM6.0 but it's no longer working - now sometimes it will be the kspec icons (the ones I want) and other times the stock one.

I can just swap the icons I want in the morph if anyone has a morph that correctly changes the GB battery icons...

Or any advice as to how to get the icons all changed properly would be appreciated!

Edit: Nevermind I think GB has more battery icons now that shows more battery levels... probably will be able to figure it out on my own...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hawkye:
I love this music app from MIUI that has been translated to English. It works with the Xoom in Portrait mode. Set it up to download lyrics and sing along! LOL!

Install (Requires Root):

adb remount
adb push miuimusic.apk /system/app
adb shell
#chmod 644 /system/app/miuimusic.apk
#exit
adb reboot
[Xoom Themes and Apps] destroyerbmx:
I like miui for phones, I wonder if they are working on a tablet version on it
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hawkye:
I like Gingerbread better than MIUI. I had MIUI for a couple months... I just ported over the Music App to my phone as that was the only thing I really missed about MIUI.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] colourfuze:
Do you have to be rooted??
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hawkye:
Yes you have to be rooted to access the system folders. I think there are some modified MIUI Music APKs out there that don't require root. I haven't tried those as I constantly update my MIUI Music app on my DInc almost weekly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bigrushdog:
Miui gb should drop next week. There is no plans for devices larger than 480x800 according to head dev overseas. :(
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I have had this phone since launch. I bought several apps when the phone was completely stock. I bought even more when I was running custom roms. I flashed back to stock using odin today and now I can't re-download any of my paid apps without paying again! I am using the same exact google account and email address. I logged into the web market and it doesn't show that I've purchased any apps. I logged into google checkout using the same account and it does have records of all of my purchases. Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this?
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Try a master clear, and enter ur google account again n see if that works. Else maybe a re-flash might help.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Your Market is tied to your Google account. It is independent of the phone. If you properly reflashed using Odin and correctly entered your Google info, there should be no problem. I have flashed 3 different phones many times and never had any problem with redownloading my Market purchases. Free apps will NOT show up after a flash, only purchased apps.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Thanks, but I know and have done all of that. The problem is definitely on google's end. It's good this doesn't happen to everyone, but it certainly can. It sounds like I haven't done anything you haven't done.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Have you flashed a custom ROM? Some have been known to change your Market ID. You should write down the Market ID before a flash then if it gets changed there is an app to restore or change it. Have you tried the Market fix in SGS Tools?
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I don't think it would be a market id because I bought beautiful widgets before I even rooted my phone. It is making me pay for that if I want it again too. I haven't tried sgs tools because I want the phone to be stock in case google actually gets off their ass and does some customer service.
[General Questions and Answers] muteki808:
Ok first off if this is the wrong place to post this I apologize but I tried searching and can't find anything about my phone.

I just purchased a Toshiba Regza phone from AU in Japan. I have changed the regional settings to English and all the menus and mostly everything is in English but the problem I am having is that the email program that everyone uses here to send instant email back and forth is still in Japanese. I have contacted AU KDDI about this and they say there is no way to change the language to English from within the email program itself. My wife is Japanese and she has looked at every setting within the email program itself and cannot find any language settings.

As far as I have found out, the "email" system here in Japan is actually a MMS messaging system on steroids that uses an email address instead of the other persons phone number like in the US. I think a very long time ago some of my friends in Japan had email addresses with there phone number(at)docomo.ne.jp

I have looked on the marketplace and I can't seem to find anything that will work with the AU system.

Does anyone know if there is an app that can replace the stock email program to send and recieve email with my xxxxxxxx(at)ezweb.ne.jp? If there is where can I find the settings for AU's email system? Do they use IMAP. POP or because it is MMS it is totally different?

I love this phone, the camera is awesome the screen rez is really great watching 1 seg TV and the video quality is great. I really don't want to have to do anything to it that will brick it because it's brand new and my wife would kill me LOL Only thing is I cannot use the email program to it's fullest extent.

thanks for taking the time to read this and for any help you might provide.
[General Questions and Answers] Shutterspark:
Unfortunately there is no fix or alternative, as carriers in Japan have their mobile mail services tightly locked down and you require their express authorisation to develop an application for it.

The mail application for the IS04 is as bad as it gets, as are various other software related aspects of the phone... which is a shame because otherwise it's quite a capable device.

Hopefully issues like this one will be addressed at the same time as the rather late 2.2 update, but I wouldn't keep your fingers crossed.

I've been trying to extract the carrier mail application from other the au android devices and modifying it so it can install/communicate with au's servers on the IS04, but I've gotten nowhere with the security.

In case you run into any other trouble, other problems people have had with the IS04 include battery charging issues (phone runs off battery once it reaches 100% and never starts charging again, even while plugged in), contact list problems (multiple and non interchangeable contact lists for different applications), various settings resetting themselves (aforementioned mail application mainly), lost emails/contacts and weird memory restrictions (for storage).

For the record, DoCoMo's version of the Regza phone (and their other Android devices) use a relatively decent universal phone mail application, while au has gone with letting the manufacturers put together their own. I'll let you work out which decision turned out better.

In the meantime, I suggest having your wife translate the settings so you can have it up and running the way you like, and then just memorising the basic navigation and functions.

Edit: To answer your question, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the weird MMS system for all three major carriers in Japan is still using the I-mode transport protocol.
[General Questions and Answers] kazmatrix:
just FYI:

2013 is around the corner and with Android 2.2.2 now (still) on the Regza IS04 nothing has really changed much.

The mail app - and other default apps - are still in Japanese only and will not be changed.

The general feedback from their tech support is: Learn Japanese or get lost (though said very politely, with smiles and bows and not in such a direct manner :))

Have a great 2013 all
[Atrix 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
So a thought that has occurred to me since I got this phone is one of haret.exe on winmo phones. basically boot up past the bootloader and kernel(that are locked) then using either 2ndboot or kexec dump out of that kernel and launch out own kernel/filesystem

Sadly in looking around 2ndboot seems to require the phones kernel source(which we don't have, unless i'm totally wrong)

kexec on the other hand seems to be a much better way to accomplish it. Again this is mostly useless without a kernel BUT we could take our current kernel to use as a test bed for if (as is required) the release the kernel source.

Thoughts? anyone wanna join with me on trying to get this running and tested?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] alphamancer:
I believe this was discussed already in the thread about cracking the bootloader, however, if you do manage to get this running I will gladly beta a new kernel as long as there is an SBF file available at the time to allow flashing back to stock.

Cheers
