Hello folks !

I'm kind of new to the Android world (got my X8 like a month ago). I rooted one week ago and would now like to install racht's Floyo 0.15 on my phone.

I installed xRecovery just fine. The only thing I can't figure out it how to deal with the ROM... It's a RAR file... When I unrar it, I get 4 files : cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5 and system.img. What should I do with those ? Zip them in an update.zip file ? That what I would do but I don't want to screw up so I'm asking here just to be sure. I searched around on Google and here and didn't seem to find any similar threads... Am I right or wrong ?

Thanks in advance !
[General Questions and Answers] Senax:
Know your file extentions!

Allways check any file extentions for PC/Linux/Unix/Mac/Android/WinMo at

http://filext.com

rar - packed archive

img - image file

md5 - checksum file

Start reading the Android WiKi here on xda-developers and educate yourself first.

Have fun,

Thanks for your input

Hi, Thanks for your input, could you please tell me how to run on ROM mode which u have mentioned? i could not able to understand coz 1st time i m using this kind of phone. what could be the reason to restart while make a call or recieve a call or sync with gmail? As per the service person they told me that the motherboard has to replace. is there a major issue?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
I would say that your radio/baseband is 'dead'.

Have you tried to restore it through SEUS/PC Companion?

And to check on which ROM/Firmware you are

- about the phone

Since a while I can no longer login to SkypeMobile.

The download was removed from the offical side a while back, but I was still able to login. Now it loads forever :(

Anyone has the same Problem?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] seppe82:
It's the same for me. I also had it sometimes before, but there it was related to low transfer rates in the 3G network. Back in these days, I tried to connect via Wlan and then it worked. But now it even doesn't work with Wlan. As you mentioned it: Skype seems to load forever.

Hope people find this useful - Carphone Warehouse in the UK are now offering pre-order for the 3G & WIFI Xoom priced at £599 including a charging dock for free - which I believe will make it £13 cheaper than the comparable iPad2 upon release - with the added benefit of the £35 dock thrown in too.

It's the first UK price I've seen for the 3G & WIFI version and it appears to be pretty good to me - £100 premium over the £499 WIFI only version in line with Apple's £510.

Still no closer on choosing which one to buy though! :D
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
Good luck to all across the pond, I will be "rooting" for you, and hope Motorola does not pull the Milestone madness on you guys.

good summary. originally when i flashed cm7 I had to search a bit to come up with what you said above. one addition, CWM lets you mount sd storage to usb so you can copy files to sdcard (say the recovery image). then update CWM 3.0.0.6 with ADB.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalsmadi1:
dang man you're the Q&A champ, every time i'm on this you're answering questions.

well this worked like a charm, idk why people on xda always make things more complicated than it has to be.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Added.

Well i work in the Imported Automotive parts. My job requires me to basically sit around and answer the phone when it rings. We have our own "call center" room. I just pick up the phone and answer question and sell parts. Like right now i'm working on a engine rebuild kit for a 1975 2Ton Mercedes Bens..... so i get some free time from time to time, and XDA is one of a few sites they allow me to visit.... BGR/ Android and Me, Android Central are the others....

I can see why some people blow up, spend +$200.00 on a phone then turn around and blow through something w/o taking the time to read something and then you get stuck in a bootloop.... i can see why people go bonkers. But slowing down and reading would solve alot of problems. Heck i've got 3 great threads in my signature that would solve alot question that one could have with a new device.

Same issue, except i flashed 3.0.0.6 beforehand to prevent any problems. Iced Glacier flashed okay, I just didn't care for it much. Ive wiped all the necessary parts prior to flashing as I would before flashing any roms. Ive managed to retrieve and restore a previous back (I can haz backups) so Im not stuck. I would like to be in the cool kids cyanogen club. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Meaning you want to run Cyanogen(mod)? Well jump over to their site and download the ROM of your picking; Nightlies are alpha builds, and the RC's are beta builds. I've ran both and both are extremely stable. I have links supplied in the first post. and directions for that matter. just make sure to do a nandroid backup before wiping and flashing.

When I click "wipe data/factory reset" it just shows the clockwork icon (hat and arrow) and nothing happens.

In fact, this happens with all of the options in the clockwork recovery.

I am running clockwork 3.0.0.5. I had CM7 and I did something stupid, tried flashing another ROM via rom manager....I did back up everything though.

Please tell me I am not bricked!!!

Pull the battery. Hold vol down power on them restore cm7. Then flash cwm 3.0.0.6.

[Streak 5 General] metalchef:
derrr

first I tried z4root; then universal androot; then super one click 1.7, then 1.9.5, then 1.5.5. the apps failed & super one click just kept locking up.

So finally it dawned on me, to try removing (uninstall) the USB drivers for my SGH-I897 (Captivate), and give super one click one last try (I used 1.5.5 - so I can't confirm the success of later/newer releases).

Please don't be a jackass like me, and remove your old / other device drivers first.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brk3:
Hi, does anyone know if restoring an nandroid backup could invalidate your battery stats?

What I'm worried about is, the stats would have been in a certain state when I took the backup, but the battery state/charge would have changed when restoring the backup.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
Since last night, my screen stopped timing out. I've been playing around with trying to get wallpaper to look right, and have installed Wallpaper Set & Save (didn't make it look right) and WallpaperCASA (can't figure out how to use custom wallpaper). Not sure if installing them is related, but a few hours after, my screen no longer times out. Eating battery charge. I can't find a setting in either one of them that has anything to do with this. And the screen was timing out fine immediately after installing them.

Timeout settings are set to 2 minutes. Does anyone know of another setting that controls this?
[Nook Color General] TainT:
Just ran into this myself....anyone, anyone?

I wasnt messing with wallpapers just screen timeout stopped working.

Got the same issue (no screen timeout) but with some odd thing. When I try to setup the screen timeout choosing "screen" on setup menu... I´ve got an error... the setup process ends unexpectly. I´m using N114, lastest OC Kernel from Dalingrin.

Been awake since 8 with some calls and wifi on. Pretty good.

Waiting for the Beta 2 coming out tonight/tomorrow.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kessler:
I just came from an HTC diamond, with wm 6.1 that while old, had excellent voice dialing and caller announce features over bluetooth. I waited to go android because this is essential to me as I wear my headset for about half the day.

Now my Telus desire HD with froyo has some crappy 'cyberon' voice commander built into it (can't be uninstalled) and the android bluetooth dialer is nowhere to be found? Not only is it more clunky and inaccurate for dialing, but there is no announce feature for incoming calls. I tried Vlingo and it's even worse.

So, if I root this thing and install HD Revolution or something, will that give me the default bluetooth dailer?? If I do that will that give me callerid announce for incoming calls? Is there anything else I can do short of returning this device for a *shudder* windows 7 phone?

[Atrix 4G General] frankiedizzle87:
During my time on the forums i have learned to run another launcher if you dont like motoblurr but one problem is that even when you do this its still running in the background with social network or what ever... well i like facebook and twitter for android so if you use titanium backup pro you can just freeze motoblurr (AFTER YOU ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER IN PLACE) and your phone battery will last longer and i havent had a hint of lag or slow down in browsing or anything in the last 24 hours its amazing atrix is running better then my inspire now! that's an improvement it feels like a dual core phone finally even when running heavy flash sites.
[Atrix 4G General] domin8:
so why does this thread say 'take back the atrix' ?
[Atrix 4G General] phaino00:
LOL...returning to its intended state of efficiency and speed. Return the atrix from its indentured servitude from blurness.....
[Atrix 4G General] plmiller0905:
Um...I'm going to have to try this "Freezing Motoblur" out. I know that when I have two launchers installed like right now I have Launcherpro Plus as well as Motoblur. I freeze Launcherpro because if you switch to motoblur and press the home button, it takes you right back to launcherpro.

But nevertheless, thanks for the insight. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] egolfer:
I just deleted the widgets from motoblur once I got Launcher Pro as the default launcher. Effectively does the same thing without freezing the applications. Those services are running in the background because they are running widgets imo.
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
Actually they are running in the background because (widget or not) Moto has them set to ping and get data at various times a day. And there is no setting to disable that. They are always running.
[Atrix 4G General] TareX:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tErbo b00st:
Why do all phones (even though my concern is Android) boot up extremely slow. How can a full size computer that is slightly more powerful than our phones, with a spinning HD, running a MUCH larger OS boot up so quickly? I would think having SSD and a 1ghz processor would make for a very quick boot time on modern phones.

What is stopping Android from having an "instant on" feature? Is there theoretically anyway to speed up Android boot time?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IharpI:
Our Phones are a LOT slower then a pc.

2. Manga Watcher - Love it amazing for my Naruto fix

3. Pulse News and MoreGood News HD - both free

7. CraigsNotification - free craigslist app that I love

8. Facebook is fun

9. dolphin brower or xcope 6 works amazing

10.Pageonce - bill management
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Sithben24:
1. Newsrob for RSS feeds

2. Root Explorer

3. Plume for Twitter

4. Angry Birds Seasons for obvious reasons

Rooting/Modding Apps

1. Titanium Backup - Clear app data, backup apps

2. Rom Manager - Clockwork Recovery saves all

3. Autostarts - prevents apps from launching by themselves

4. Hot reboot - I'm lazy and this is a big time saver

Day to day/productivity apps

1. Zeam launcher - best launcher for the nook, clean and easy to use

2. Dolphin browser mini or HD. Best browser for android, hd or mini depends on personal preference

3. Dropbox - Perfect for syncing files between my PC, Mac at work, Droid X and Nook

4. Tapatalk pro - for reading forums

5. Pandora - cos music rules
