[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
You're in the themes/apps section, so you won't get a whole lot of exposure for your concern. CWM 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread, if you are going to stock you'll need to revert to CWM 2.x.

Are you reverting to a nandroid of the stock ROM or are you downloading a fresh version? Is the Market the ONLY Google app that is not working? What about gmail or gtalk?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFeens:
You need to Fastboot flash the old recovery. The new recovery only works with 2.3 roms not 2.2 roms
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsbachert:
use 3.0.0.6, from the development section, you can flash 2.2 and 2.3 roms.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castuis:
You can find the google app to by instaling gapps which you will find on cyangenmod listed with the link to cm7, just flash it no wipes just drop it in and then when you reboot itll offer the option to setup market, do to some proprietary information rules or laws or whatever cm7 doesnt include it in the rom

I have some problems when the LCD of the phone is block .

and when trying to unlock the screen this stays black and the LED turn on.

when i try unblock the screen, this not responds. I do not understand that can happen, any ideas?

the only solution is to remove the battery and turn on the phone

Sorry for my english i speak spanish and i have a poor english
[General Questions and Answers] manutdsnake:
It could be problem with auto brightness,try racht's latest version,it works fine with me (except camera and compass).
[General Questions and Answers] Blitzkri3g:
You mean 2.3.3 CM HACKDROID Legend?

I tried that.As soon as I restore apps and data with Titanium Pro

the phone gets stuck in an endless start up logo loop.

Happens to me too.Every time I lock the phone,its reboot time.

LOTS of bugs with this one.Will revert to the 2.3.3 Legend ROM again.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Flokey:
Hey guys!

I thought you might be interested in the tutorial I made about the rocket science of "how to replace this frakkin' ****ed up keyboard"... :D

Haven't found any useful instructions on the web so I just made a tutorial myself. I hope it will help someone in desperate need of a new piece of typing plastic.

Yeah the keyboard is not that durable for "holycrapIcan'tbelievehowmuchI'mtyping"-typers.

Enjoy!

http://www.stilbruch.at/2011/03/how-to-replacerepair-hardware-keyboard.html

Cheers
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Merri1:
+1 for your effort and writing up a guide:)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] evilducy:
good write up. but with the two different lay outs on the keys, how does the phone know what buttons are being pressed? i.e. where the d-pad is??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tylerwatt12:
thanks, now i can type so much faster. and to the person with the question. the keyboard has 3 layers

the breadboard which contains 2 terminals per key,

the cap which is metal and gets pressed against the terminal, registering a letter

and the cover where there are 2 styles, one flat and the old version which was bubbled

the tutorial covers replacing the cover

the pink part contains the caps(which i tore off accidently, good thing i had an extra)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] s0ulreaver:
Nice tutorial. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] salisbury_steak:
Beautiful guide! Love the humor in it as well. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Flokey:
Thanks guys, I'm glad you all like it :) hopefully I'll write a few other tutorials in the near future for the milestone and the Galaxy Tab.. if I break them :D

Yeah and watch out for the pink thingy... also ripped it nearly out ^^
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lumiden:
Did anyone fix the key repetition problem in Motorola Milestone/Droid?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Flokey:
Try it without the rubber-keypad... just boot it and press the keys on the pink luminative-foil... If the reason was the old keypad, you should already see the difference, before installing the new replacement-pad :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lumiden:
I would be happy to do it. Sadly, I'm from Argentina, so this part takes a month to arrive and it costs more. I was expecting someone with the same problem and more access to the spare parts would try it before I order one.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Deleted member 2598291:
Thank you for this guide. I've done it a few days ago and now my Milestone works great again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kinglozzer:
Thanks for the tutorial man. Been debating doing this for a long while and now I'm sure it's relatively simple I'm just looking forward to my new flat keys!

Like you, I was disappointed not to be able to find a UK QWERTY keyboard (with a £ symbol), but I don't really give much of a crap about that to be honest.

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] azeem.droid:
Thanks

hey Buddy thanx for the guide. Changed my keypad n i just cant stop texting :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] surasshu:
Wow this looks great! I want to try it :D Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] meltwater:
Is it much better? Just got a milestone and know what you mean about the "sucky" sound. How does the new keyboard compare, is it worth swapping over even if the old one works?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eltio2k:
Nice tutorial. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TaintedCross:
Nice tut, I can't see how you guys are having so many issues with ur keyboards though.. I use my constantly and theres no wear or tear in mine at all looks and still functions like the day I got it... I prolly send over 500 texts a day..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] meltwater:
My keyboard is fine, except it is slightly springy in the middle. Still very use-able, but I can see that the newer keyboard would probably be more comfortable to use. Also the "space bar" has pushed in a little so probably why it bows out. It's not over use though, since there is no wear on the key printing etc.

Perhaps they just used an extra splodge of glue for yours.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] meltwater:
I've just replaced mine (it took about a month to arrive). So far I love it, it seems to be a lot easier to type on, probably because there is no travel on the keys where it is springy. Also the sucky sound is no more.

Fingers crossed this one will stay flat (at least the plastic isn't trying to curve naturally, if it wasn't for the d-pad it'd curl into a tube on its own).

Anyway thanks for the guide, it made it easy to see what to expect etc.

I think it's worth the $6 to change the keyboard if you intend to use the phone for the foreseeable future plus it does improve the look if you plan to sell it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] meltwater:
As it's warmed it, it got even flatter (the opposite of the other one).

I think it just feels better as the keyboard doesn't spring up each time you type, you can still feel the keys clearly enough without the bumps (you can feel each key distinctly). Probably stand a chance at touchtyping with it now.

The feel of the keyboard is so important, since the faster you type on it the more often you will bother to use it.

I do wish it had all the normal PC keys though (including proper number keys), would make DOSbox, telnet and writing scripts etc so much easier.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr.TOSHIBA:
(idk if this is the right section for this post)

So I'm trying to make a custom boot screen for my G2. I made a png in photoshop thats 480 by 800 and put it in bootanimation.zip and all that. I put it in /system/media replacing the previous bootscreen.zip (the MIUI one because I'm using that rom). The problem is that, when I reboot my phone after the HTC splash screen, it just shows a black screen until the phone is done booting. I might have something wrong in the desc file or maybe i need to make my pic 24-bit or something. Any help would be great. I'll include the file and the image, because the image is awesome.

My image is supposed to look like the THX logo that is sometimes at the beginning of movies, except it says HTC. Eventually, if I get this to work, I might make it animated and add sound to be like the THX thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr.TOSHIBA:
Anyone? Does anyone here have any suggestions? Or should I put this in Android Q&A
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wicked1ab:
I'm not sure what your problem is, I just go into terminal emulator and do

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /filelocation/bootanimation.zip /system/media/

which I believe is pretty much the same thing you've been doing, but your picture is way cool! if you end up getting it working you should share it :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashaman_Kupo:
I want it now, but with sound and animation. Please, make it now. I'd even pay .99 for it.

I was thinking about selling my 3G Vibrant for MT4g, any suggestions

Thanks
[myTouch 4G General] RevenG:
That's what I did. I actually did a straight trade. I just got bored of the vibrant.
[myTouch 4G General] jjdill:
Why not go for the vibrant 4g it has a way better screen

Because he's sick of SamSux crappy plastic **** hole..lmao:eek:

[myTouch 4G General] lou0611:
I just noticed the MT4g doesnt have the physical KB, BTW, the ROMS for the Vibrant suck, and it is a plastic feel, no flash on camera.

I am looking for a Phone with a slider out KB and 4G
[myTouch 4G General] epsix:
G2 has a slide keyboard.
[myTouch 4G General] Julianmgn:
same here lol i love the mt4g and sammy is crap
[myTouch 4G General] abcdavidefg:
Becareful men. I had the vibrant and the MT4G. It's kind of nice the feeling of the MT4G but:

The screen of the vibrant is way way way way better

The way that apps like angry birds, homerun and others show up in the vibrant is way way way better

The internal memory of the vibrant is 16gb way way way better than the MT4G

I have the MT4G but somedays I miss the vibrant... somedays not
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
The GPS on the Vibrant is way way way worse (incredibly inaccurate and borderline useless - that is, if you can even get it to work in the first place).

The Vibrant is way way way slower and laggier (due to the implementation of the RFS system).

The Vibrant is way way way less durable (due to the plasticky construction).

The Vibrant is made by Samsung, which is reason enough to stay away.

Yes, the Vibrant's screen is better, but that's about it. As far as internal memory is concerned, when you can put a 32GB microSD card into the MT4G, does it really matter?

Sorry abcdavidefg, I'm just messing around. ;)

I've had the Vibrant and couldn't wait to get rid of it. I spent more time trying to make it function the way it should than actually enjoying it. In fact, that phone soured me perception of Samsung's mobile division. I should have listened to the warnings from the Behold II owners.
[myTouch 4G General] BorisZX6R:
I agree completely, I have had the Vibrant, and yes the screen is great but I got a good mytouch 4g with the good screen and non-sticky power button. And the screen looks great. The better screen alone on the Vibrant is just not enough to cover all the other aspects, plus the colors are over saturated if you ask me.

Missing Front facing camera

NO LED FLASH!!!

NO usable GPS, look at my signature :)

Cheap feel, although it is quite durable when you drop it :)

LAG (stock out of the box)

as far as mytouch 4g

lower quality screen

lower quality glass to protect the screen (dropped vibrant several times, nothing, dropped mytouch 4g once, scratched the screen, although it looks more like a tiny chip)
[myTouch 4G General] nighthawk626:
lmaoooo that was just too funny. but i just traded my vibrant for a mt4g three days ago. i do miss the screen but i think ill live to get on without SAMOLED aka awesome screen :)
[myTouch 4G General] tweak89:
I think we need a sticky "NO Do not trade for a Vibrant!!!" thread :p

As I have said in many a Vibrant/Nexus S vs MT4G thread.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
[myTouch 4G General] xdviper:
Damn, is the Vibrant that bad? I played with the Nexus S today and it's quite slow and lags a bit when you switch from apps to homescreens and such. I'm guessing it's the same on the Vibrant?
[myTouch 4G General] Longcat14:
I own the Samsung Vibrant, and yes, everyone says about the phone is VERY true.

That is until you mess around with it. I've got a custom ROM going (thanks to eugene's kernel, we can port i9000 ROM's to our phone), and have done the GPS fix, and my phone is just amazing.

Sure it doesn't come amazing out of the box, but even if it did, I wouldn't keep it stock. :P
[Xoom General] Srikar_NBK:
Can the Xoom play Youtube 1080p or 720p videos ? I'm not interested in 1080p or 720p movie or video files playback. I want to know if the Honeycomb Youtube app has the option to play 1080p or 720p videos. The last time I checked a Xoom and its Youtube app in the store, it just had a HQ option, I couldn't find any option to select 720 or 1080p's. Please suggest. I spend lot of time on Youtube and I need this feature. It is one of the critical features, that helps be decide to go for the Xoom or not. Thanks.
[Xoom General] synplex:
I believe once the final version of Flash 10.2 is out the Xoom should be able to play 720p Smooth.
[Xoom General] Srikar_NBK:
Thanks for the reply.But, is there an option in the Youtube app to play 720p or 1080p ? I know there is a HQ option in the Youtube app, and I have that in my Android phone too. What I'm looking for, is the option to play 720p or 1080p videos within the Youtube app.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
go to youtube app search 1080p they run great.
[Xoom General] HorsexD:
Well After you get Flash 10.2 you could always just go to Desktop web version of Youtube and Play a 720p video like that too see how performance is. :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Ty the Jackass 3d 1080p trailer on the youtube app, really rocks.
[Xoom General] Droid-Xer:
Just an FYI hi def video doesnt work well over 3G. Use WiFi for best results
[Xoom General] Srikar_NBK:
Don't have a Xoom yet. I wanted to find out about this feature, before I decide to get one.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
To answer your question, yes & yes.
[Xoom General] aohus:
sorry but how do you know if its even playing in 1080p? its either HQ or not. just sayin..

i don't think its even necessary to run a 1080p clip on a 800p device.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
It says its 1080p? Try this one:

http://www.tools4movies.com/2011/03/xoom-720p-1080p-high-quality-settings/
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
can I rest my case?
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
720p is more than adequate.
[Xoom General] aohus:
did you really need to post 3x in a row? coulda been combined into one post.

anywho, we were discussing 1080p playback on Youtube, not a 1080p file being played natively on the xoom.

just because on the youtube title its marked as '1080p' doesn't necessarily mean its being played in 1080p. its most likely playing in 720p, can't confirm, but theres no point in playing a 1080p file on a 800p device. thats all im really trying to get at.
[Xoom General] purplecrayon:
I'm pretty sure it can, set you browser agent to iPod, go to youtube website and search for 1080p, it will play any of those HTML5 streams in 1080p. Make sure you add

&fmt=37

At the end of the URL. That's youtube code for 1080p
[Xoom General] Magnesus:
If someone is connecting Xoom to a TV 1080p could be useful.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Just answering the OP jerk.
[Xoom General] papapena25:
1080p runs great on mine
[Xoom General] el_bori1:
I can play 720p mp4 videos fine. I haven't test any 1080P.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
im ppretty sure the youtupe app dowsres's stuff to 480p just like when you go to the browser version and full screen a video it goes to 480p. Even though the title says 1080p

Edit: I stand corrected it looks like 720 in the app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DavidAnt:
Does anyone know how to get the Gingerbread screen lock animation on the Xoom? I have seen it on a youtube video so I know someone out there has done it.

Thanks!

iOS convert to Honeycomb
[Xoom Themes and Apps] agentpower:
I hope you mean the Screen-Off animation... I would love to see this aswell.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Err0xx:
Look at this app- have it on my Xoom and looks much like the gingerbread animation and it adds a "lock screen" icon wherever you want to put it- makes locking the device if its flat on a table easier. GREAT program and works flawlessly, plus the icon matches Honeycomb perfectly. Have this on my Atrix and Xoom.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] kenhunt:
Could you link that video? I can't find it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Err0xx:
Play the video of the app I linked above (In the app description) and see if thats the lock animation you saw- its the old TV off, like in gingerbread.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DavidAnt:
Since I'm still new I can't post a link to an outside video, but if you search Gingerbread Lock Xoom on youtube it should be the first video that comes up.

The Screen Off and Lock app that Err0xx posted looks like the video.

Thanks Err0xx!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] freemsk1:
Yep, this is it. By the way, great app, especially for us, lucky xoom owners, with on/off button on the back :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
It may be possible to do this natively, but we need the source code first in order to find out.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Would THIS help us achieve native support?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
No. We cannot decompile honeycomb yet. And since google won't release the source, you will have to wait a long time.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
I don't have any problem decoding framework-res.apk. The only thing we cannot do with Honeycomb files is deodex them*, but this is just a resource file.

The issue I have is trying to repackage it. In several string translations google uses substitution strings like "%d of %d". The problem is the later versions of aapt are strict and do not allow this.

See here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/017d92dd987a8682

I have tried changing the strings to use positional formatting (%1$d of %2$d etc) and also using formatted=false but so far I have only been successful in making the Xoom crash

*Actually, we can de-odex the files but recompiling them is an issue
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
Well I got it working. I think my issue was apktool was compressing the resources.arsc file.

Only problem now is that it only works in portrait mode

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jM2.me:
I found a link to wiki but it's outdated (1.6 i believe :D)

So I was wondering if maybe there is updated list? Or someone knows some risk-free apks to remove.

Interested in removing following:

Twitter: done

Email: done (using gmail only)

Calculator: done

Talk: done

Voice search and recognition as well as recording: Unsure (VoiceDialer.apk VoiceSearch.apk VoiceDialer.apk SoundRecorder.apk)

*back apks: Unsure , what the do anyway? (talkback.apk soundback.apk kickback.apk)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] h.nocturna:
They are accessibility options. Talkback, speaks the option of whatever you've selected, soundback makes a noise when you click, and kickback vibrates whenever you touch the screen. There are a lot of removable apks, you just need to find out what each one does. It's too difficult to create a comprehensive list.
[Vibrant General] Ted417:
My dad's Vibrant's LCD screen got shattered when he dropped it. And it also turns out that the touch screen doesn't work. Another problem is, that it isn't rooted. Thankful to God, I enabled USB debugging when I updated his Vibrant from 2.1 to 2.2. Now that I pulled the files from the internal storage that my dad wants(pictures, documents, etc.), he wants me to wipe everything inside the internal storage partition. Everything other than the screen and touchscreen work(this was verified by using ddms on the vibrant). We just ordered a replacement from T-Mobile and it should be here in less than 7 days...

Problems:

1. Screen is completely black

2. Screen doesn't recognize touch inputs

3. Not rooted

4. Has a lock pattern

Things you might want to know:

1. Has 2.2 on it

2. Has USB debugging enabled

3. Menu, Home, Return, and Search touch buttons work

EDIT:

I was able to pull all the files using

adb pull /sdcard/ *destinationfolder*

Now all I need is a command to delete all that is inside of "/sdcard/"

2nd EDIT:

I was able to delete all the files from the internal /sdcard/ folder by using:

adb shell
cd sdcard
rm -r *
[Vibrant General] oka1:
You can get into download mode with the buttons and guess the time on holding them down, and Use SDK hooked up to the computer and then at least you could see what's on the phone and copy from that
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
Only thing I can think of is ADB - but it's been so long I can't remember if it works on non-rooted devices.
[Vibrant General] Ted417:
Updated OP post...
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
Droid Explorer? Or does that require root?

http://de.codeplex.com/
[Vibrant General] Monk4Life:
Android commander should do the trick.
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
you might be able to do something like:

adb shell
# cd /sdcard/
# rm *

be sure you've got everything, that will wipe your contents of your internal SD card
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
try ODIN. AAll you have to do is get into download mode.
[Vibrant General] VeryCoolAlan:
No odin will only reset the phone not the sd
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
i stand corrected. he's right.
[Vibrant General] Cartigan:
Why not just physically remove the sd card? I mean, it's an sd card. Didn't it come with a micro-sd to sd converter? A good number of desktops and laptops come with sd card slots.
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
internal sd...
[Vibrant General] Cartigan:
Internal storage? Yeah, that's not going to work, but I would think resetting the phone would actually reset internal storage.

PS. SD card refers to secure digital cards. I don't know how I am supposed to know "sdcard" inexplicably refers to internal storage on the device.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
If your worried that they're going to discover its rooted then don't. Phones without hardware problems just go on a multi phone flashing board. Ones with broken screens probably go in the garbage. On the other hand now rereading I see that may not be your concern.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant General] Ted417:
I tried that... but it won't let me cd to the /sdcard/... is it because it isn't writable? :(

It's not that... it's just that my dad's kinda paranoid about having his personal data in another person's hand... :P

I also found this on another forum... according the guy that posted it, if I dial *2767*3855# in the phone... it should factory reset everything, including the internal storage... would that work?... if it does work... how might I go about placing it in the dial pad? :|
