How do I reboot into recovery mode? I know with the vibrant They have Rom Manager that install a custom recovery to install custom roms. is it one for the x? and which is most likely the best ROM? I've seen a lot of talk about apex and liberty. i found apex v1.4.1, don't know if that's the latest and Liberty 1.0.1.

Thanks in advance
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
First of all you should get Droid x bootstrap recovery app and make a nand backup if your thinking about custom roms.I don't know much about custom roms cause I don't use them but liberty 1.5 is the latest.
[Droid X General] hullie10:
Liberty and apex are completely different roms in terms of apex keeping more of the blur aspects, i personally use apex 1.4 and i've used liberty 1.0, i actually missed some blur stuff that liberty didn't have and the battery life i got from liberty was actually really bad compared to even the stock rom.... i think you should try any roms you want so you can decide for yourself....
[Droid X General] Lofi Goosh:
Definitely get bootstrap as stated above... I'm currently running Liberty 1.5, loving it, and I'm planning on sticking with it until Cyanogen is released for the X; however, as also stated above, you should try different ROMs because they all have their own pros and cons. Check out the Dev forums for details on each.
[Droid X General] qGa:
any free boostrap? or you have to buy it?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FireDemonSiC:
Hey guys. I seem to be having a problem with my Android HD2. It seems that the phone recognizes certain chargers as USB. The phone allows the option to enable USB Mass Storage and turns on debugging mode.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem since the phone still charges fine, except for the fact that it limits the incoming current to 280mA. The main charger for my HD2 is a powermat which puts out 1A but when the phone is dropped onto the mat it recognizes it as USB and limits the charging current to 280mA so it charges rather slowly. All the powermat receiver door is connected by is 2 pins. The little 3 pin interface that is underneath the battery door is where it interfaces at via thw two outer pins one for + and one for -.

I thought I had seen this issue on XDA before but for the life of me I can't find the article. I thought I remembered someone saying that you had to short something with a resistor to stop the phone from thinking the charger is USB. Does anyone know of this problem?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reinspired:
I have the same issue and looking for any answers. Using Android 2.3.2 on HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chvvkumar:
I've had this issue with apple chargers. I am guessing here but I think it is because the iphone chargers send some sort of authentication data to the phone as a measure against unauthorized chargers. See this link for more info

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] casey00:
makes total sense i have heard of that its sort of a self protection
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jungle_jim:
Yes, the new batch of apple chargers have some of the USB pins connected together to indicate that the device may draw more than 400mA from the charger.

It prevents my eBook from charging completely!

The only real way to fix it would be to butcher a USB cable to only connect the 2 power lines.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
there are a few threads that talk about how to make some in car chargers NOT get recognised as a car kit, and that uses the same technique mentioned above, , ,namely shorting some of the pins. I assume the same principle will work here. You just need to find out which pins it is.

Is there a way I can hide the notification bar so that it's even hidden in apps and not just the home screen or other apps that don't have the option to hide it?

[Fascinate Android Development] ashasaur:
Alright peeps let's get this rolling. These forums are a mess, so from this day forward (3/3/2011), ALL releases, whether they are mods, ROMs, apps etc. MUST have their thread titles named as such:

IF YOU ARE RELEASING A ROM YOUR THREAD TITLE SHOULD BE AS FOLLOWS:

[ROM][DATE] <NAME OF ROM>[Version][KERNEL]

•[ROM] of course meaning that your release is a ROM

• The [DATE] must be in the [Month.Day.Year] form. Example: [FEB.5.11]

• The <NAME OF ROM> is of course whatever your ROM is called. BE SPECIFIC.

• [Version] is the version of both YOUR ROM and the BUILD OF ANDROID. Again, BE SPECIFIC.

•The [KERNEL] tag is of course what Kernel your ROM uses. BE SPECIFIC.

An example title is as follows:

[ROM][FEB.5.2011]DESIRE HD MaXXX! 1.0 | Working Camera![v1.0 2.2.1] [MDJ S10.4]

This new thread naming IS A REQUIREMENT TO POST YOUR RELEASES WITHIN THE FASCINATE DEVELOPMENT FORUMS. If you do not adhere to this policy, your thread will be renamed without notice.

Depending on what type your release is, your tags may be different-IE instead of ROM, if you are releasing a kernel your tag should be KERNEL, and if you are releasing a mod your tag should be MOD. In example form:

[MOD][MAR.4.2011]Fascinate camera fix

[KERNEL][MAR.4.2011]Someone's new and amazing lagfix kernel!

Currently people are asking quite a few questions in the development section. Starting today (3/3/2011) any new question threads made in the development sections WILL be moved to the Q&A section without a redirect thread. DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN THE DEV FORUM.

This post may come off as kind of hard, but it's meant to clean the forums up and help everyone out. For proof that this works, hit up the HD2 development forums.

If you have any questions about this new naming scheme, or concerns or questions in general, please do not hesitate to PM me or ask me in this thread.

This is all a work in progress, and if things need to be changed, we will change them as needed. Please bear with me as I try to sort this all out for the good of the forum.

These are the accepted and mandatory set of rules for the development forums. I am asking YOU the community what you think of them. I personally think that it has worked extremely well in the HD2 development section, and can see it working excellently here(as it already has), but if something can be improved please let me know.

Thanks-ashasaur
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Woot!

This is very appreciated (both the naming convention and the crackdown on questions in the dev section).

I think there might be a little more developing of the naming convention though. The Fascinate dev forum doesn't have that many different roms, but lots of modular pieces.
[Fascinate Android Development] jcase:
Crack down on questions is nice, the naming convention I personally dislike. My 2cents.
[Fascinate Android Development] mbh87:
I agree with this. All the tags make it harder to read and actually find what you want. Especially when things have been named the same forever.
[Fascinate Android Development] ashasaur:
I appreciate the input. This naming scheme was adopted in the HD2 development forums, and it seems to have worked wonders, so I am hoping it will do the same here.

Basically I want it to be so that you can scroll through the dev section and be looking for either a ROM, KERNEL or MOD, instead of having to read the entire thread title, or even go into the thread to find out that it wasn't what you where looking for the entire time.

This is all very much a work in progress, and if it doesn't work or needs to be tweaked we shall do whatever needs to be done for the good of the forum.
[Fascinate Android Development] jcase:
I agree, the tags will drive my eyes nuts. Not to mention I am not likely to remember to do it when I post things.

All in all, it might drive some people away (or it might not at all).
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
why not {[ROM]|[KERNEL]|[MOD]} [DATE] {[ALPHA]|[BETA][RELEASE]} <name>

All I think most are interested in is what the thread is for, when it was released, and if it's alpha/beta/release quality
[Fascinate Android Development] mbh87:
A simple [ROM] or [KERNEL] tag is fine but when you have to do multiple tags in one title, its a little much.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Haha, do we have anything "release quality"? Even Samsung stock is released in the beta stage.

The date tag is subject to confusing issues with localization. The US uses MM-DD-YY, but many other countries use other permutations. However, there have been a lot of necro'd threads lately from waaay back, that contain harmful, outdated info. The date tag would help with that, at least.

At bare minimum, I find {[ROM]|[KERNEL]|[MOD]|[REF]} at the beginning and then a clearly named thread title to be helpful when trying to find something. If it doesn't have a tag, I usually overlook it and have to use the search.
[Fascinate Android Development] BrwnSuperman:
Appreciate both the naming scheme and crackdown on questions!
[Fascinate Android Development] BakaUnchi:
Having the date first Sucks.

that should be last

it should be [ROM] [Version of software] [xxxx blah blah blah]
[Fascinate Android Development] Accord281:
Your example doesn't follow your guidelines. What is the Android version?
[Fascinate Android Development] ashasaur:
Alright, I have updated the first post to reflect your guy's input. Tell me what you al think.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
Thank you. This seems like a change for the better!
[Fascinate Android Development] Crashspeeder:
Shouldn't kernel releases also tell you what kernel they're based on? If it's a 2.6.32.* based kernel that means it's most certainly not usable in eclair.

What the actual label is could be up to you. It could be either what RELEASE the kernel is based on (DI01, DL09, DL30, EB01, EB16, etc.) or what version of android (2.2.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, etc.) or the kernel version (2.6.32.*, 2.6.35.*, etc.).

I think the first and last are the most descriptive, the first being the easiest for people to understand what ROM it would be compatible with.
[Fascinate Android Development] MadWicket:
Are you a dinosaur?

If you are what period are you from?
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
While not helpful, I laughed at the literal mental image I got from it
[Fascinate Android Development] ashasaur:
I gotta lol on that one, that picture is awesome. And, I am not going to lie, the username "ashasaur" is a combination of two characters from Pokemon-Ash and Venasaur. I came up with this name waaayyyy back when I was 10-ish years old, and it has always just kinda stuck. It may be childish, but it's how EVERYONE on the internet knows me, especially through YouTube.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Why not start using a more legitimate methods for tags instead of cluttering up thread titles? I know there are all kinds of tagging plugins for vBulletin.

Currently, we have one: "Is this a question?" Heck, it even asks that in the development forum where we aren't supposed to ask questions.

Imagine a world where this very quick mock up became a full fledged, better implemented, prettier, more robust, and real-life version of xda:
[Fascinate Android Development] ashasaur:
THAT is an excellent idea...one wich I am not sure has been brought to the admin or not, and I suggest that you PM svetius about it. That would be a huge boon to the site, and I agree with you that all the info in the thread title is rather cumbersome, but it seems to help newer users find what they are needing.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
I'm just a lowly user but I do think the naming convention is a bit much. Would it not suffice to just have the [TYPE] of thread in the name and then title of contents following it? Certainly the rest of the information you proposed could/should be included in the thread.

All in all I like the direction you have proposed
[Fascinate Android Development] mexiken:
Why is everyone *****ing so much ???? Do you NOT realize that the REST of the XDA boards adhere to this naming scheme, in one form or another ????

Furthermore, most devs on here are NOT new to XDA, like most of the people complaining in this thread are, so they've dealt with tags in titles in the past, and will when they move on to another phone, so why not standardize it ???? Plus, it makes it easier for our new mod to weed out the tards who post in the dev section when they have a question instead of posting something useful.

For the rest, stop griping. Its part of life. And stop harping on a guy who's only trying to help out and make us better. I understand for a lot of you, this is your first Android device, but this is the way its been done, and our threads were mostly an exception to the rule for a long time. You're not gonna have everything fed to you for the rest of your life. You were spoiled by not having to read those "difficult" tags all this time.

Let me put it a simpler way: substitute teacher is gone, no more movies. Now teacher came, and its time to learn cursive and our multiplication tables....

(No way intended to offend Ctrek. He was a good mod, just no enforcement of title naming)

That being said, I would LOVE to see Gizmo's idea come to fruition. I think its a fantastic and wonderful idea. I hope that one makes it out there, and that it becomes widespread throughout the rest of the forum.
[Fascinate Android Development] ataranine:
[Date][Rom][Version] Seems like it would suffice...no?
[Fascinate Android Development] printing724:
@ashasaur

+1!

A thread naming convention is essential. There are a lot more people posting than before.

Post some basic rules, sticky them in all forums. Do not let this turn into a debate. Respond to intelligent suggestions, ignore the others. Newbies will learn, old hands will adapt. We are on your side.

If it has worked in other forums, it will work here, too.
[Fascinate Android Development] lowtech80:
I love it. I always got annoyed seeing: xyz updated, but no date as to when it was updated. Then you open up the thread only to realize that you already have the updated version.

Blackhole 4.2 on EB01 Froyo.
[Fascinate Android Development] svetius:
This is a really neat idea, indeed. We'll consider it. Would take a big of planning.
[Fascinate Android Development] fubar1982:
I think any standardization in the dev section is a good start in the right direction. Everybody's going to have opinions on what they'd want to see or do but we need a good leader to just start it off so I think this is a good idea. Will help quickly scroll through and see what's what.

But GizmoDroid's idea is the best IMO and if we can get there, a standardization within those categories will be much easier to read as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] jcase:
svetius,

GizmoDroid's idea is great, the current system is not for way to many reasons to list. Hope we see something that will leave the titles clean looking, and still allow tagging.

no reason to make the wrong date format mandatory. (and yes, that format is wrong in the US)

other than that minor niggle, thanks for everything you're doing for this forum! a lot easier to manage and navigate now, and less clutter.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Haha, totally called the date issue.

MM-DD-YY is all the rage in the US. We also use miles, inches, and pounds, because we are too cool for units that the rest of the world use.

Date quibbles noted. I had actually had it that way because it is indeed what most of the world uses, but we shall make it US compatable.

There are 2 dates in a lot of topic titles now, the original date in new mandatory format, and then 'updated ##/##/####' elsewhere in the title.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Usmc7356:
I spent like 3 hours creating a boot animation for my xoom and can't get the thing to work. I sent the stock one to my comp and altered only the images and nothing more. I left the notepad info in there and zipped to a file and put back in the directory on my xoom that it started in. Using the same permissions as the stock animation and giving it the exact same name and moving the stock one out of there rebooted and now it goes from the stock dual core screen, to home page. No boot animation at all.

The only difference between the one that I made and the stock one is the file size. Mine is just over 9mb and stock is just over 2mb. Will this make the difference?
