[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabell4:
I tried flashing the Rom yesterday and was successful. The issues I had revolve around restoring my apps. I used My Backup Root for stock to Froyo, but this time it seemed as though the apps were on the phone and the card, which cause an error stating that I didn't have enough memory. What should I have done to restore the apps to preserve the memory? I also received force close error for SetCPU, SlideIt (which I love), and a few others.

Also, what is the benefit of partitioning my sd card and does doing so erase it's current contents?

Lastly, are the nightlies a full rom or just part that needs to be flashed? If found some on CMs website, but not here.?

Yes, I'm a NOOB. :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zervic:
Regarding your nightly question, they are full ROMs...the difference between them is the code that was committed within the previous 24 hours. Of course that also means that, in theory, some of the nightlies could be 100% the same...anyway, the nightlies can be a beautiful thing or a disasterous thing...usually if there's an issue with a nightly it is quickly found by those who flash each nightly and it is brought up around 3.2 million times and it is typically fixed by the next nightly.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFurnace:
Partitioning usually does mean a wipe of data on the SD. Careful!

When I upgraded to a 32GB flash from the stock 2GB from my Aria, I backed up the entire contents and restored on the new one. Apparently there is volume information stored somewhere (not sure where) and the phone couldn't recognize the card and asked me to partition it.

Because I had a backup, I decided to do so, but instead of partitioning for the entire size of the chip, it partitioned only 2GB!

So I had to stick it into a reader and repartition it manually and then selectively restore music, etc back on the card.

After that it worked just fine. So short version: yes it does.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellarhopper:
You will need to creaate an sd-ext partition to fix the issue of installing (larger) apps with CM7.

The best way would be through ROM Manager.

wifi

Installed the RC2 and can't connect to a hidden SSID wifi network.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFurnace:
That is a known issue with the wifi driver on cm7 thus far. Not sure if it will be corrected though. Anyone else know if it is in the works?

"Do you mind if I turn up the AC?"
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynot_:
I believe if you flash to nightly 14 all will be good, not 100% sure though.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
As far as I know there are no plans to change it. But then again we weren't supposed to get fm radio working either...

"Do you mind if I turn up the AC?"
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabell4:
Great input from everyone. Thanks! Following up on the sd-card partitioning... I have a new 8g card and want to more to CM7. If I partition it, what happens when I restore the backed up app using My Backup Root? And, what is the best partition configuration, why, and what info get store in each section (ext)?

Thanks...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellarhopper:
The easiest way to partition is using your ROM manager.

Just select the max size for SD-EXT (I think it would got to 512MB), and none for swap.

I'm not sure if this would have any effect on your backup - I myself started out from scratch and got my apps from the market even though I had made an Astro backup...

You will store all your stuff - music, pictures etc in the normal partition. The SD-EXT will be automatically handled by the phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabell4:
Tried flashing Nightly 22 on my Aria from 17. I spent a lot of time customizing 17. Is there a way to keep all of the old home screens? Also, GPS lock isn't working for me. Using MyBackup Root for Apps, but it seems to duplicate the apps?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellarhopper:
You should be able to flash each new nightly without losing any of your settings/customizations/homescreens and apps.

While upgrading from ROM manager, just check the backup option, don't check wipe data and cache.

I can confirm this works transitioning from 14 to 22 because I just did it yesterday night :)

As for the GPS problem, thats a known issue - the workaround is to make a nandroid backup of your current cm7, then do a complete phone reset, then do a nandroid restore of cm6 or 6.1 (hope you have one), do another factory reset, and restore your cm7 from the backup you took in the 1st step :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zervic:
first of all, i would never suggest using rom manager for things such as that. historically it has only caused problems and has been more of an inconvenience than anything. second of all, when you boot into CWM and do it the right way, don't wipe data, it's suggested but not necessary that you wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the rom and you'll be good.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabell4:
Thanks to both of you. Big help and not deleting the data did the trick. Looks like I'm good to go and GPS is working well again. Is there a way to ensure I don't have duplicate apps taking up space on the card and phone? I'm getting errors on moving some apps to the sd card.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cHarley04:
Not all apps can be moved to the FAT32 partition on the SD card. Widgets also, won't work properly if moved to the SD FAT32.

If you need more memory, look into (read up) partitioning your sd card with a ext3 partition and installing S2E or Dark Tremor a2sd (DT a2sd).
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellarhopper:
Oh, I had no idea about that, thanks for the info.

I've been using ROM manager without any problems so far, apart from one lately, that when I reboot to recovery, I always get an error screen - exclamation mark in triangle...but I just pull the battery and reboot into recovery manually and it starts whatever command I had given it (backup/new rom) automatically...
[General Questions and Answers] Ozdemon:
I have a Galaxy S that was previously connecting well via bluetooth to my car audio system. I made the mistake of adding my wife's car as another device. Now, when in my car I am frequently disconnected - and I believe it is related to the other device because the problem began immediately after.

I have tried unpairing my wife's car - no difference. I have tried a re-scan after unpairing my wife's car - which temporarily disappears and then re-appears on the next reboot.

I have full root access. I cannot find where devices are stored and I have checked the files in /etc/bluetooth. I am on Darky's Rom v9.2

Please, is there any way to permanently remove a bluetooth device in Android?
[General Questions and Answers] wilfrancis:
I didn't know there was or is!
[General Questions and Answers] Ozdemon:
Permanent removal of bluetooth device

Surely the system must store a list of paired devices, otherwise how would my problem device keep re-appearing? The question is where?
[General Questions and Answers] bakageta:
Titanium Backup can backup and restore bluetooth pairings, but doesn't have an option to clear them... It'd be a huge pain, but you could make a nandroid of your system, wipe and do a clean install, use Titanium Backup to backup a fresh copy of bluetooth pairings, then restore your nandroid and try restoring the bluetooth pairings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Faktor4:
There is a way to "soft restart" phones. If I change a system setting, my phone's homescreen will go blank, and "redraw" all the icons... etc. I was wondering if any developers know the shell command used. I am working on an application, and I need that command. :(

Thanks.

Xoom versus a GTAB versus a SmartQ R10 (same IPS screen as an iPad):

http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?/topic/15865-screen-angles/

Bottom line - it's better than a GTAB, but not as good as the IPS screen. The only pro for using it for comics is that the 16:10 screen ratio is almost perfect for a comic - very little of the screen is wasted.
[Xoom General] iceytea:
I had a Gtab, God the viewing angles were terrible! I mean just awful.

No hardcopy to compare colors? :D
[Xoom General] setite:
I returned my GTAB because of the viewing angles and the occasional touch failing to register.

The XOOM viewing angles are impressive. When I was shoing a friend how to use it at breakfast the other day.. I was able to look at it from my side of the table upside down and see it well enough to instruct him how to use it as well as press the right things. That is an impressive feat for any LCD in my opinion.

EDIT: Why is the XOOM out of focus in every single picture?
[Xoom General] lstrike:
Same as you all on the gtab. It was so cheap but man the angles were so bad. I bought it at 8:30am and as soon as I got out of work I returned it.

I realllllyyy wanted to like it but man Viewsonic blew it. My Xoom isn't as good as my iPad but is more then passible.
[Xoom General] roebeet:
:)

I might have to do that, later - Sgt Rock just happened to be what was available at that particular moment. The IPS screen might actually be a little softer than the Xoom, but I prefer that. I can actually see the yellowing pages on some of the scans, on the IPS screen.

The Xoom definitely is passable, though. If I didn't have my R10, I don't think I'd even notice a problem at all.

[General Questions and Answers] FreshFreddie53:
Hi guys,

I'm a new member to the group, but have been an Android user since my 1.5 cupcake HTC magic. I now have a Nexus One (bought from Google without ever seeing one first) with 2.3.3, but am in the market to spend some cash...

So, my question is:

What should I buy?

I have been dreaming of the Xoom, but reviews seem to be rather negative (incomplete product, rushed to market etc). However, being (a relatively) early adopter, I am presuming that things will pick up (OS upgrades, more tablet specific apps etc).

The other option is to splash the cash on a new phone. But which one? I like the idea of the Atrix, but am thinking about the next Google experience phone (much prefer to stick with stock Android).

Any considered suggestions will be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Jamie

Can some one help i will like to know why the extended battery is not holding its charge. When i unplug the ac charger the % drops likes 10% in matter of like 10 min with the phone off and i have auto task killer
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ducats:
I would recommend trying an SBC kernel. I don't know what ROM you are running, but something like SBC HTC #15 would work well. That battery needs to stay on the charger past the time it actually reads 100%. More information about your whole setup would be helpful when diagnosing issues.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben1221:
In my opinion don't use Sbc. There is a thread on here about the advantages and disadvantages. I have a 3500 extended battery and I just either use stock #15 kernel or toast... there is a reason why it drops down 10%. It's normal and your battery was made that way. It's a way where your phone won't over charge. Search the thread about Sbc kernels. Hope this helps.

I find I get about 3 hours at 100% after removing from the charger.

Today after 5 hours I was at 95%. I know that the 3500mAh battery has internal protection, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906144 which keeps it from being over charged. Though that is no reason to fully charge it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913401

The reason to fully charge it, is that the volt meter reads 100% not 110%.

Hey everyone.

So I have finally decided that the dust being under my evo's screen has gotten annoying enough to where i want to get it cleaned. Problem is that i'm rooted. My question here today is that will flashing a barebones stock rooted sense rom and removing the superuser app be enough to get by the sprint repair techs? I really don't want to have to unroot and then turn s-on.

Any input?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
Nobody can really say if it's enough or not. It's a gamble. I used a ruu for mine and put everything back to stock. I also removed my sd card because I had read about someone taking their phone in and the tech saw on the card there was root related stuff on there. The guy must have did something or the tech was an ass because he said they refused to fix it and flagged his account that it's a rooted phone.

If you can run the autoroot method, then it's not difficult to do. The script does all the dirty work for you.

If you were too lazy to put everything back to stock and they found out, you would be kicking yourself in the ass for not being more thorough. I'm not trying to be a **** or insult you. I'm saying better being safe than sorry.

If the tech discovers tampering, and they are a ****, then it's all over for your hopes to get it fixed man. Good luck

Here is where I got the one I used before taking it in. I got version 3.70 at the bottom.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Agreed

I agree with the hammer. It isn't that hard to unroot your phone at all, it should only take 15 minutes or so. I have heard of some Sprint tech's being cool, and working on a phone regardless of whether it was rooted or not. I have also read of people being given a hard time, and even having their account red flagged. There is no way of knowing if you will get a cool tech, that won't care, or a guy that takes his job too seriously and plays by allt he rules. Due to it being such an unpredictable outcome, I would recommend just unrooting before going in. If you rooted with unrevoked, flash their S-on tool in recovery, then RUU back to stock, or run a PC36IMG of a stock rom through the bootloader. If you never ran unrevoked or unrevoked forever, I don't think you need to flash the S-on tool, just running the RUU should turn your S-on. Once it's all fixed up, use one of the many root methods available, and it'll be like a clean start!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jxr94:
I appreciate both responses and am just gonna run with the unreveoked s on since that's how I rooted. My nands should still be good though correct?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
As long as you end up with the same phone (which you surely will). You just don't really want to interchange nandroid backups between different phones, as you run the risk of over writing your RSA keys. If you do, you need to remove the wimax.img from the nandroid backup before running it. And one more thing. Not to be paranoid, but I've seen someone get screwed from it...you should remove anything from your sd card that is related to rooting, flashing, etc. I've seen a guy report of getting his account redflagged and service was refused, because the tech found ROMS, kernels, mods, and other stuff on the sd card. That was supposedly enough evidence of rooting to red flag the account. Surely that is unlikely, but you never know. So it may not hurt to copy your sd card to your computer, then format the card before bringing it in. Or just taking the sd card out all together before you bring it in. Take it for what its worth, and good luck on getting your screen fixed!

I used to be a Service an Repair Area Manager. In the MI area.

I personaly did not care if the phone was rooted or not, being the screen is just dirty I personaly would have never even looked at software.

If Your really worried about your sprint tech's looking into things its also not hard to just take the digitiser off and clean it yourself, let me know if you want to know how to get it done.

Non-software related issues do not warrant checking software. If you bring a rooted device into my store for hardware issues, I probably won't even check it. And if I do notice, it's not a problem since hardware != software.

Now if you come into my store complaining that your device is freezing, camera isn't working, etc and you're a jerk when I say it could be the root or ROM, then I'll flag your account.

All in all, if you're having software problems on a root device, don't take it to Sprint. Hardware is still a go.

It is either rooted or not no matter how far u customize. And they either care or don't.

I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to custom roms (done plenty of tweaks and hacks to the stock ones though). Anyhow, everyone's trying to convince to me to ditch stock altogether and a few have recommended that I try ROMKitchen.org.

Would anyone be so kind as to post a tutorial on what the best choices would be for a captivate in the US ? I'm sure the other noobs here will appreciated it too.

Specifically, I need help with choosing the:

Base ROM (what are the differences or advantages to one over the other)

CSC (I believe JH7 is the US country code, right?)

Kernel (same question as the Base ROM)

Modem (is there a specific one if I'm on AT&T or if that doesn't matter then what are the differences between them)

Apps (which version do I choose for the Swype Keyboard)

And if there's anything else from the other categories that you guys think I should include, I'll gladly take your suggestions. Thanks a lot!

Thanks. Regarding swype, the default choice is to NOT install it. Do you have any idea which version I'm supposed to choose: JPA, JPO, JPU, or JPY? I try researching these things as much as possible before I post but I'm not finding a clear answer.

Couldn't I just save a copy the swype apk from my current installation and install it on the new rom? If so, do I need to copy over the corresponding odex file too or will that get created during the installation?
