If if and only if 5 minutes is time consuming. Cause that's seriously about how long it takes to switch.

And also to the OP. Remember that you want both of them set up exactly how you want them and don't change it because unless you make a new backup, what you add or change in between wont stay when you restore.

Guys I need some help hopefully you can clear some questions I got.

If I do a a full system wipe with xrecovery, dalvik cache and battery stats.

Is it going to delete a previously saved backup?

cause Im trying to install froyo on my x10 and already got a full system backup of my 2.1 using xrecovery but im not sure if I got the correct steps to do it.

What Im trying to do basically is get 2 backups to switch between em when needed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anantshri:
when you do a backup its storred in sdcard under /sdcard/xrecovery(recovery)/backup/<date based name>

also wiping all stat and /data /cache will clear all your ROM related data from your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valholy:
So basically wich steps would be the correct ones to follow in order to get 2 backups so I can switch between when needed,without bricking my phone?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pheel:
you won't brick your phone

i don't know why you bother, its gonna take 5 min for each changeover, and assuming you'll make no progress in between each change, but then, no you don't need to wipe anything. Sigh, here are the steps: Just back up and then install, then back up that one, and then restore which ever you need. Also, just to make sure, your backups are located under sdcard/xrecovery/backup . So you don't screw up the md5 check, if your gonna rename it, don't put any spaces.

Anyone else having issues with the phone when it is charging on the wall? Screen transitions get really choppy and touch screen sensitivity goes bonkers.

This is driving me crazy!

Sent via XDA app | HTC EVO | CM7 RC2
[EVO 4G General] ffolkes:
I've had this with CM7 as well. It's super annoying.
[EVO 4G General] tinybfk:
I've had this with most if not all Roms I've used. It depends where I plug my charger in honestly. Some places the touchscreen goes crazy some places it doesn't. Why? Hell if I know lol. I was starting to wonder if I was the only one with this problem.
[EVO 4G General] Jykinturah:
I have had this problem before, but it is gone now. Could never figure out the cause...

It was never specific to CM for me. I found that at times, setting setCPU to clock up to max (not necessarily OC) when charging helped a little.

But for some reason the problem disappeared for me. Not sure why to be honest. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
My phone only lags when I have the sd card mounted to a pc
[EVO 4G General] bsims85:
It happens to me when I use one of the chargers I bought from Walmart. I think its a grounding issue.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Happens to me on Cm roms with HTC charger.
[EVO 4G General] superevilllama:
Its an issue with the charger. I have two completely differnet phones and the same issue happens on both when I use a certain charger. It charges fine but touchscreen goes to crap. Both phones work fine on a different one.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
+1. Works fine with the OEM charger. But a cheap charger I got on eBay that charges a battery at the same time that it charges the phone always causes the touch screen to become completely unusable.
[EVO 4G General] SouL Shadow:
Not the charger. I have the same issue with my evo connected to the stock charger. It doesn't usually happen right away. In fact most times for me it isn't until charging us complete before I see a slow down.

I could be mistaken, but i believe it's a heat issue. The heat from charging the battery causes the CPU to enter a slower, low power state. This in turn will result in everything, not just the screen, becoming laggy. I've also noticed the same effect on hot days during the summer, if I let the evo get hot (like leaving it in a poorly ventilated area or heavy CPU/graphics usage), I get the same slow down.

I have not tried using setcpu but I suspect that thermal protection will automatically override user defined clock speeds.

Of course, all this is just my best guess, and I have nothing to prove it either way.

-SLS-
[EVO 4G General] efotonik:
Agree & Disagree.

From the world testing I've done I completely agree that heat is a cause that can cause the phone to act incredibly slow and unresponsive. I have accidentally left my phone in the car during summer, come back and hardly anything works :mad:

My disagreement is that I do also believe that the charger/charging effects the phone. Using the stock HTC charger I get an sporadic screen, sometimes immediately and other times delayed, while charging. It almost always shows up after a full night of charging (phone could/should be warm here, right?) but the moment I unplug the device it becomes immediately responsive (heat hasn't changed).

I don't know what the root cause is, heat I think is a contributor, but either way I just deal :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] strung:
I believe it's due to poor grounding, which affects the touchscreen.
[EVO 4G General] edisepic:
Ive had this with cheap chargers
[EVO 4G General] aweskelo:
yep - its a grounding issue with the touchscreen caused by using a cheap charger OR a cheap cable OR a bad cable. It is NOT a problem with your phone. Get a nice OEM cable or a nice OEM charger and you'll be in good shape.
[EVO 4G General] Deleted member 3109183:
I have this issue with my stock htc cable and charger.
[EVO 4G General] thegregbradley:
I remember when the Evo first came out there were grounding issues with the screen (hardware 0001), i.e. if you put it down on a bed or couch, you couldn't get the notification bar to pull down. I would also estimate that there are still some minor residual grounding issues still around. I get it every now and then as well, I'm also using the stock HTC cable and charger. However, that battery theory is a pretty smart thought.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
and perhaps you're cable is bad. stock cables do go bad, I've seen a few people with bad cables. They can fail in numerous ways.
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
If it is the cable or charger, why does it not happen on the stock ROM? Temp makes no difference.

EDIT: This DOES NOT happen with the stock ROM!

Sent via XDA App
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
Same cable, same charger (both stock), same outlet, does not happen with the stock ROM, but it does with CM7. I've just tested this quite a bit. Temperature is not a problem, either.
[EVO 4G General] ffolkes:
It happens to me after the battery hits 100% (on a non-sbc kernel) using stock cables, and stock chargers and my computer's USB for charging. It never happens on the stock kernel.

I'm not sure anyone ever knew for sure what caused the rash of these back in June/July, but I do know when I created the first FPS hacked kernel back then, it mysteriously cured some people's touch screen problems even though my modification didn't even remotely have anything to do with charging/touch input code.
[EVO 4G General] aweskelo:
Dude this happens all the time on my wifes non-rooted stock EVO with a cheap cable or cheap charger.
[EVO 4G General] pbarrett:
I only get this with my cheap eBay charger.

I suspected it might be putting out more AC ripple than the stock one, so I looked at it on an oscilloscope. Sure enough, it puts out 5.2VDC + about 0.5V of AC ripple.

The stock charger puts out 5.0VDC + about 0.005V of AC ripple.

Half a volt of AC is 10% of the DC voltage - pretty significant.

I'm not plugging into that thing any more - only the stock charger or a USB port.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
I read about this happening (screen sensitivity going crazy) from the first week I had my Evo (launch day). It is common. It has always happened to me while plugged in and I use the stock charger and cable.
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Yeah, this qualifies as "feature not a bug".

[Kyocera Zio M6000] SilasMortimer:
Hiya. I have a Kyocera Zio with Cricket. Last week at some point, I got a text message saying that an update was available. So I went through the settings and checked for an update and it asked me if I wanted to begin download (I was on WiFi). I did so, less than a minute later, it asked me if I wanted to reboot. I did so, remembering that there are supposed to be three parts to the update. It told me there was an update, I accepted, it asked again to reboot, so I did. The third time, it told me there was an update, I accepted and waited.

It was taking a while, so I left it plugged in to do as it would. I came back later to find it continuously rebooting. It would show the Kyocera screen, the Cricket screen, and finally the Android screen, but then it would reboot. I left it again just in case. Close to an hour later, it was doing the same, so I took out the battery, put it back in and tried again. The same series of continuous rebooting happened. I tried on and off for a few days and only once got something different - at some point, having done nothing differently, it got to the 1.6 lock screen, but was frozen there.

Yesterday, I took it to a corporate store and asked them to reset it. They did so. It got to the screen where it tells you to touch the android (sounds dirty, really) and the animated hand - which was animated - but it didn't react to my touch. I also couldn't turn it off. Figuring I'd be waiting another hour if I put my name in the machine to get in line again, I took the battery out and left, hoping I could figure it out when I got home.

Now, the "end call" button does indeed work, because it will turn the phone on. The "volume up", "start call", trackball, and "end call" work because the reset combination works (though it gets stuck with text on the Kyocera screen). However, when the phone is turned on normally, it gets to the "touch the android" screen with the animated hand, but doesn't accept any input, whether button or touch screen.

Is this phone bricked?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Take it back to the cricket store that reset it. Its now their liability. If your phone is borked, they may be liable to give you a new one.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Sorry_8D:
I would have to concur. Anything we can help you do would put the liability back into your hands. We can offer advice on how to fix your problem but it should be used as a "last resort" if the store simply cannot help you.

Feel free to come back, should you need to.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] SnakeFist:
My orginal zio did the same thing on march 4th.

Did everything to a t and all it kept doing was a constant rebooting loop my 1.6 desktop came up but my screen would not respond to my touches just kept rebooting after 2 or 3 minutes.

Took it to the corp store and the women who works there told me on march 6th that the update is not sopossed to be released to the public yet and that i shouldnt have installed it and accused me of using a pirated version of the 2.2 and that is why my phone is bricked.

I told her no i didn't that i had a check mark on the task bar (i call it a task bar cause it looks like windows a bit) and when i pulled it down it said a kyocera update is avalible and i had to use my wifi to get it.

She was like well we don't have the stuff here to reflash it yet and she was still insisting that i was using a pirated version so she went in the back and asked someone else and then came back out and had a new boxed zio in her hand she was like the update was released and i did not know that i asked her how long you worked here and she was like over 2 yrs (she must not pay attention at the meetings) so she gave me a new phone but charged me 20 dollars to replace the phone cause she was like it was over 30 days or 30 minutes i was madder then a bull with his balls tied up she didn't even give me an apology.

Went to mcdonalds down the road cause they got free wifi and did the update again and it went thru 100% this time.

Now i can't root my phone to get my boot screen back on androot and root explorer don't want to play nice together.

[HTC Inspire 4G] car_nut:
I'm assuming you can still boot into hboot? If so, you can copy a new ROM to your SD card and then install from there.

>Vol Down

>Power on while holding Vol Down

>Select Recovery and you should get CWM

>Install zip from SD card

>Choose zip from SD card

If CWM isn't working for you, then you can install this ROM as it autoloads through hboot:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965634

If you can't get into hboot, then you probably have fastboot enabled. Pull the battery and then you should be able to >Vol Down and >Power to get there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elnene2091:
Thank you so much i couldnt go into recovery so i installed the rom that you said and its working fine!! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Dont worry this is not a problem. You probably have the wrong recovery image. Flash CM7 Cryangenmod 7 from the dev section. Once in there open rom Manager and flash recovery 2.1.3.5 at the bottom of the app.

steps

1 pull the battery, then put it back in

2 Hold the vol button down at the same time you are holding the power button.

3 Select recovery

4 Select CM7 from the sd card and flash it.

5 once it starts up flash the other recovery.

6 Now flash the rom you wanted from your sd card.

7 before you do Make sure you wipe everything. Card Partition, Dalvik, data factory reset.

Hi, i am italian and i would know how to unlock Motorola Atrix. :confused:

The only way is through by the unlock code? have you any reliable site to recommend? is there a way to get it for free?

if i will use rom or firmware update, the phone will be locked again?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] nalper:
From my personal experience: AT&T has an exclusive agreement with Motorola until August 22 and they do not have unlock codes. I bought one from "cellunlock" for $20 (50% off the list price with coupon). Worked fine.
[Atrix 4G General] Genixoid:
How many unlock codes do I need? I see motorola droid 2 global (that is working in Verizon/GSM) but it required to get unlock code when GSM sim card was installed.

Do I need to unlock GSM and 3G separately?

No No...there are many ways to UNLOCK the PHONE from Network lock,UNLOCK CODE is best....You can get the Unlock code from here

Onlinegsmunlock.com and Unlock it from Network Lock....Then you can use with any GSM Network Sim card......Firmware is not easy process.Also i haven't used that.....

Ive tried stock rom 1.1.0 with autonooter 3.0. Honeycomb v4 and nookie 0.6.8. All of them installed on the internal memory. Id like to keep nookie because of flash player but browsing with it is awfully frustrating. Ive used stock web browser and dolphin browser. Why is it like that? other apps such games run smooth but only web browsing is horrible
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
I've become a recent convert to Miren. It's the only browser that seems to play well with my stock 1.1 setup. It's fast and has a metric ton of settings. Dolphin mini is pretty good but it crashed on https for me.
[Nook Color General] cheezer38:
Did you speed up the CPU? Is it a network problem. Mine seems to work fine. Is it slow for u?
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
Regarding https failure? Have no idea what's causing it. It happened after root, before and after OC. Tried two re-roots. No go. All I know is no browser I've tried works except Miren. Luckily, Miren is a very nice browser...
[Nook Color General] ficklecycler:
I'm using Dolphin HD on nookie froyo. It's not desktop smooth but its smooth enough. I'll have to try that other browser you mentioned to compare.
[Nook Color General] survivor_evil:
Now i have stock 1.1 and dolphing hd works really good much better than on nookie froyo. My question is because games work well on nookie but just browsing is so slow when scrolling or zooming
[Nook Color General] encorbatao:
Have you tried skyfire?? It works great for me on nook 1.1 with autonooter 3.0
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
That is because games use the GPU to accelerate their GUIs, while the web browsers you mentioned only use CPU.

If you want GPU based web browsing, your only option on Android is Opera.
[Nook Color General] C Dippa:
Browser lag is usually caused by flash plugins loading. If you set the plugin settings in Dolphin to "on demand", it'll make scrolling much smoother.

The reason you probably don't see this issue in eclair is there is no flash, so no plugins loading...

[Nook Color General] survivor_evil:
I didnt even install flash for the few minutes i tried it until i went back to stock
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
You shouldnt have had to, the 0.6.8 custom nookie froyo image already has flash 10.1 installed. You should have been prompted upon initial setup of Dolphin HD about what to do with flash content. The screen is really easy to bypass without reading it so perhaps you didnt notice.

Surfing with Dolphin HD in Froyo is laggy, particularly with flash sites, when using stock cpu clock settings. If you bump up to 1100Mhz using SetCPU with ondemand enabled and adjust Up Threshold down from 95% to something south of 50% (personally I use 45%) the lagginess is greatly reduced.

Dalingrin's latest 3/8 and 3/10 kernels are REALLY PROMISING with interactive govenors setup to cut down the lag. I'm not qualified to say what it is exactly that's being worked on but basically the lag you see is due to the CPU ramping up in clock speed to handle the load and these newer kernels are trying to address that. The new kernels have some wifi bugs right now on the froyo build but Dalingrin's working on it. Towards the end of the thread there was a working kernel posted by funcrusher (page 77 of the dalingrin kernel thread) that seems to be the most stable build for now for froyo without too much wifi issues. Once the kinks are ironed out on the interactive govenor kernels though Nookie Froyo's going to be SWEET with that kernel. Then again, CM7 with interactive is probably really nice too (havent tried CM7 yet).
[Nook Color General] survivor_evil:
the websites i was browsing there had no flash. sites that on stock rom are smooth on nookie are awfully laggy. im still on stock rom trying opera and wow the gpu acceleration really makes a difference just as smooth as on idevices.
[Nook Color General] amtrakcn:
Opera does not work on Nook Color
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Well flash or not an overclock kernel in Froyo does a lot for browsing experience. Thats more of the point I was trying to make.

Like I said, try other kernels in Froyo for a better idea of what is possible. A 1100Mhz kernel by dalingrin with interactive govenor is slick, its just the wifi kinks that need to be ironed out. In a week or two I wouldnt be surprised if it's resolved.
[Nook Color General] survivor_evil:
wouldn't an overclocked processor drain battery faster? if i have to overclock the processor so i can have the same experience as on stock rom doesn't seem to be very efficient.
[Nook Color General] survivor_evil:
mine must be magical or how could u explain im using opera right now

(sarcasm off)
[Nook Color General] evilPERSOn2009:
^Opera Mini, not the regular PC, Mac, and Linux one.
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
It can, depending on what you have it set to and what you are running. You have a bit more control with setCPU on how your cpu is going to behave. Without a doubt, if you are looking to push the nook to the point where its silky smooth at everything in froyo you would want to try the interactive govenor kernel but live with lower battery life.

The experience isnt the same though. If you feel it is then stay where you are with stock.

Right now I'm running a kernel from the dalingrin thread that was posted I believe on page 77 of the thread where wifi is stable and my battery life is good with the setcpu settings I'm using.
[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
Frankly I don't see what the "awful" is all about - I find browsing to be much more enjoyable on Nookie Froyo than on the B&N stock browser, with the exception of needing to use Button Savior to access the Back and Menu keys. Even without overclock, pinch-zoom is far smoother on NF. I've also been playing with Mobile Firefox as a second browser but some of its features aren't ready for prime-time.
[Nook Color General] darx:
I've got nookie froyo installed and the browser has been fantastic. I even watched an episode of Californication via Flash this morning.

The only problems I've actually had are with the Theme I installed. It made my stock browser FC, but now I use dolphin HD.

The nook is a hot product right now, once Honeycombs AOSP comes and dev's have more time to update roms like Nookie Froyo we should have pefect devices.
[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
Yeah I found the Honeycomb preview wasn't usable enough, but Nookie Froyo is growing on me. Zeam launcher, Button Savior, Google apps, and I haven't found a reason to want to go back to stock. Next stop CM7, perhaps, once they have a release candidate? :)

Hi all,

I've just read that flashing a ROM that includes boot and sbl could be potentially dangerous (specially if due to a electric or USB failure the flashing proccess is interrupted)

Two basic questions:

1) When I download a FW, how can i know if it contains this boot files?? Is in the PDA section?

2) I've read that middle packages are free from these. Are Samfirmware releases middle or high level? Can I use them or i should look for safer ones?

Sorry if there is a thread about this. I haven't found it...
