[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliberx:
I recently upgraded to GSB v2.1 from my previously non-rooted bog standard Eris and am amazed by what I had been missing out for. I'm still pretty much a complete newbie to the whole custom ROM thing though, and have a few questions that may be quite stupid.

1) I'm getting force close crashes w/ the Facebook app. It'll load for a second and I'll see my news page, then force close comes up. Do I just need to reinstall or ... ? Edit: Facebook seems to be loading now, without force close issues. The problem was very repeatable (every time I tried to open the app!) last night, but seems gone today. Ah well, good riddance!

2) While trying to play a vid from Youtube, the sound is working flawlessly but the video doesn't seem to be advancing. I can move forward manually but all I get are still pictures from the video. This is using the browser that came with GSB; I haven't yet tried to get any other apps.

3) My wife's phone seriously needs this too, but she's leery of wiping her phone of apps. What's the best way to backup apps from a non-rooted Eris?

Thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGratefulDead:
Download titanium backup for the apps I'm new at this too I'm unsure about your problems with Facebook and YouTube did you wipe the dalvik cache?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliberx:
I did wipe the cache, although like I said, I haven't put any apps on here yet, so no harm in just wiping it all again and reflashing the rom to make sure it works. Thanks for the titanium backup tip!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGratefulDead:
No problem gsb is a great rom these Eris devs do awesome work I use gsb 2.0 no problems I'm trying Ginger tazz now I think battery life may be a little better but both are excellent. You should totally hook your wife's phone up too
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think the Youtube thing is a known issue, and I'm guessing that it's just because Cyanogen Mod 7 isn't completely done yet, so maybe it'll be worked out over time.

Just to let you know, you can wipe the Dalvik cache any time you want to, even after loading apps. It'll just longer to rebuild it when you reboot, but it can help solve issues sometimes.

Welcome to rooting!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliberx:
That's great to hear! Well, it's not great that youtube doesn't work 100%, but at least it's not some weird problem particular to me. Lol. :p

I have to say, I really really have grown to like this ROM very fast. My wife is clamoring for it even knowing she's gonna lose all her apps. Any tips on how I set my contacts to import Facebook profile pics now? I did it before, but have no clue where that was or where it may have moved to now.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
best option i found for backing up my wife's apps before flashing from stock was to use "universal androot" to root (it is a software root so there is no rebooting or flashing or really any risk of loosing aps). then you can install titanium backup. it will even backup protected files since you have root. when titanium backup loads, hit menu->batch and pick the backup all new apps and newer versions. after flashing, load titanium backup, menu-> batch and pick restore all missing apps (i restored them with data, but many people have had to install the app only and then put back in the other info). FYI i rooted several (5) phones this way. if you install rom manager from the market and install a recovery (clockwork or amon's) from the rom manager, you can turn phone off, then hold vol down and power on to boot to recovery. from there you can wipe and flash. it is the easiest way to root and flash a new rom imho.

sorry figured i should answer your post i quoted. lol. if under menu-> accounts and sync->add account->facebook. input your info and select sync all or sync current contacts. it should pull in the information. if you have different names for people in your contacts and your facebook (ex "wife" in your contacts and "jane" on facebook) you can "sync all contacts" and manually link them. contacts->long press on contact->edit contact->menu->join. this should link you contacts with their facebook info. the facebook pics will sync it just takes a good bit of time sometimes.
[Wildfire General] FrydaeXIII:
Hey Guys,Me again,with more question on hand.Thanks in advance for all answers given.

Before the questions,Here's what my WF is currently running : Wildpuzzle(the latest Froyo one),Overclock Kernel from the old wildpuzzle thread.

1)I'm thinking of changing my ROM to CyanogenMod 7,so can someone tell me exactly what are nightly builds and the differences between the nightlies and RC2?

2)Which version of CyanogenMod 7 is most stable? (With the least bugs and with most original functions like FM Radio and WIFI tethering included)

3)Will it be faster and more responsive than my current Wildpuzzle that uses LauncherPro?

4)When I installed Wildpuzzle like a month ago,I partitioned the SD card once.(although it doesn't seem to make much of a space differences with the Stock ROM when all the apps are installed back again)So can anyone explain how partition really works,how some people can have dozens of apps installed and still have 100+MB left and do I have to re-partition when installing CyanogenMod?

Thanks again in advance for your patience.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
1) Nightlies are automated builds made by build bots. They contain minor (sometimes major) code changes, and, are experimental releases. RC's are release candidates, and, normally, stable enough for release.

2) Stick with RC2 for now. Nightly #22 should be the better one if the 3G bug is fixed, but, #22 is not released yet. Also, if, you get a bootloop with RC2, flash Jacob's kernel v4.1. Again, this bug will be removed in #22.

3) It should be. Can't really say for sure though, since, this is a subjective thing. For me, moving from Wildpuzzle to CM7 did seem to speed up everything. (After I switched from the default ADW to LP, it was more smooth). Besides, just for the level of options and customization you get, I would say it is worth it.

4) You need to flash DTApps2SD as well after partitioning. Simply partitioning will not make the apps move to the SD Card. Also, if you have a fast SD card, you can consider moving the Dalvik cache to your SD card as well, implying that no phone memory will be used at all when you install apps. You need not repartition again if you already have one.
[Wildfire General] FrydaeXIII:
Thanks for the reply

2)I've read somewhere on the forum that nightly 17 is better and more stable than RC2,is this true? and what are the major bugs in RC2 and what is missing in it(things that can currently be done on Wildpuzzle but not on RC2) and where can I find Jacob's 4.1 Kernel?

4)How do I know if I have a fast SD card? and where can I find DTApps2SD?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
1) Don't know really. Since I have not tried #17 myself. Anyway, it looks like #22 is out. I'll be trying that, since it uses a newer kernel compared to Jacob's kernel and should fix the 3G bug. Anyway, just FYI, Jacob's kernel can be found here: (Repeat: Do not flash this if you are using a new nightly over and including #21)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798471

2) You will have to remove the card and check it. Apart from the card vendor's name and capacity, there will be a number surrounded by an almost full circle. This number will be 2,4,6 or 10. For moving everything including the dalvik cache to SD card, it is recommended to have atleast a Class 4 SD Card, else it may potentially cause slowdowns.

DTApps2SD can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925982

You can check the "Commands" Page (Link given in the thread given above) for instructions on how to use it.

EDIT: 3G Fix didnt happen in #22, but, you can still use it and flash this fix immediately after flashing the CM ROM:

[Wildfire General] FrydaeXIII:
1)I just flashed CM7 RC2 earlier today along with Jacob's 4.2 kernel,so what do I do now if I want to install nightly 22?

2)ok,I've checked and it's a class 4...How do I transfer Apps to Sd using Darktremor's A2SD? Through the standard method or with Titanium Backup?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
If you have already setup as per your liking, then, simply wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache under advanced partition. However, because this has a new kernel, I think it would be better to wipe data and do a factory reset as well.

Just flash the dtapps2sd ZIP file as you flash a ROM. If you want to move the dalvik cache to the SD as well, open terminal emulator, type the following:

su

a2sd

a2sd cachesd
[Wildfire General] FrydaeXIII:
Thanks and I've decides to stick with RC2 for now,so i've re flashed RC2,Google Apps,the 4.2 Kernel and DTa2sd...So how exactly does DTa2sd work?Like when I use Titanium Backup to restore all my apps does it go to sd automatically or there is some process to transfering it
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Not aware of the Titanium Backup Process, since, I dont use it. But, what I do know is that when you flash the ZIP, the apps are moved then. But, if you have already flashed Dtapps2sd, and then restore from Ti Backup, it should go to the SD.

Anyway, you can check the thread for its functioning. Its explained much better than I can.
[Wildfire General] FrydaeXIII:
Em,How do I know if my SD is partitioned correctly,cos I did the a2sd check command and all I get are lots of codes ending with permission denied
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Make sure you type su in your terminal emulator app before running that. This requires Superuser privileges.

Also, another noob way (lol) to check if it is partitioned properly is to go to check the size of your SD card. If it shows the full capacity, it is not partitioned. If it shows the capacity excluding the size of the EXT (eg: Default 2GB + 256 MB EXT will show SD card capacity as 1.60 GB), then, it is correctly partitioned.
[Wildfire General] FrydaeXIII:
Ok,I've checked everything and all seems to be running well,Thanks for all your help :)
[Wildfire General] FrydaeXIII:
Dammit,New problem...After installing CM7 everything runs fine and after I keep rebooting for everytime I flash something new(GApps,Kernel,DTA2SD),it reboots fine but after restoring my apps and rebooting it,It's stuck at the cyanogenmod bootscreen with the blue arrow(it's called Bootlooping right?) How do I fix this? I really like CM7 and don't want to go back to Wildpuzzle :(

Hey

I downloaded, and "updated" my rom to CM6.1.3 as in the CM3.1.6 tweaked+themes+xtras thread sais.

When i tried to install the v4 update the recovery stopped with some errors in the file. I checked and just realized its 4.7MB, but in the MegaU server sais its aroud 90MB.

I tried a few more times, but never get the end of the file.

Can any1 upload it to me to somewhere else, like media?

Thx

Hi

Is there a possibility for using the lights of the phone for notification?:confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
which lights?
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I Think the key lights from the i5801...
[Galaxy 3 General] robertpy:
Hello "paisano". I dont think thats imposible, will be interesting that menu "button" blinks. Kernel/hardware programing.. maybe a guru can respond this is easy o hard to do..

I have a 5800L, I mean the lights of the touch-buttons...

When you touch the home button the these lights turn on before screen light, aren't they independent?

Try booting into recovery and wiping the cache and dalvik cache, then reboot

i wiped the cache. whats the dalvik cache?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineedhtcevohelp1:
never mind i wiped that too. now it just goes back to clockworkmod.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You might need to restore from a backup, then you can try again. I'm not sure what this zip is that you're talking about.

You did make a backup before flashing, I hope?

Is it really possible now to brick I mean I flashed a new rom and kernal over voodoo on accident and bootlooped and then tried going to stock through Odin. became impatient and disconnected it mod restore And still managed to get it back. Anybody got any strange funny near brick stories?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Only thing I've heard recently is where somebody flashed a Vibrant rom on a Fascinate, and somehow trashed the download mode functionality so that it wasn't accessible even with a USB jig. Other than that, I've heard that you can now recover the modem after flashing with the phone button in Odin, so as long as you stick with roms intended for the Verizon Fascinate, I'd say it's pretty much impossible to brick.

yea the only ways to truly brick now is to use the wrong button in odin. even then i bet adryn can do some magic and bring it back to life. The fascinate really is one the least brickable android phones out right now.

Dead Dead Dead

My phone stopped displaying anything after the little samsung animation. So I used Odin to update the phone with T959UVKA6_REV05_home_low_CL860813.tar.md5 as mentioned here. It downloaded fine according to Odin and then when it was supposed to reboot, it just stayed dead. Now cannot even turn it on.

Arrrgggh.

you in the right phone forum? Never heard of that ROM for the Fascinate

Is that the issue
[Fascinate General] mellen_hed:
I would imagine trying to flash a vibrant rom on a fascinate probably would cause issues
[Fascinate General] sneakysolidbake:
Perhaps. I flashed mine with an update for the i9000 and phone button in Odin. My phone still works only odd thing is my phone hangs up on dl09/di01 to ea28 ota at "updating modem". Can't get ed01 modem or official froyo.

Flashed a Captivate ROM on a Vibrant, almost bricked. Odin saved me.
[Fascinate General] tetrismonkey:
ive bricked 2 fascinates

i have bricked 2 fascinates but after a lot of work i figured it was the usb ports on my laptop that where losing connection while Odin was running

odin would see the phone then i would flash the rom using pda and odin would fail then the phone would be stuck in down load mode before i knew it was the usb ports on my laptop i tried again and again to fix it and at some point i bricked the phone comply this happen with 2 different phones before i tried to use odin on my roommates pc and it ran fine mind you this was with my 4th fascinate in 6 months the 1st one the touch screen went out on but the 2nd to i bricked

so just to let everyone know if odin fails feel free to use a different pc altogether to fix it because it could be the usb ports

hope this helps others
[Fascinate General] Jmatch:
Wow that sounds like a roller coaster ride
[Fascinate General] tetrismonkey:
it was especially when i went a whole weekend with out a phone because i was stuck in dl mode and all my friends couldn't help but say i told you you shouldn't hack your phone because this kind of stuff happens. always pisses me off when someone who has no idea what rooting a phone is like or why i do it talks as if they know better then to try it. enjoy you locked down "smart phone" i will enjoy my freedom. of course the friends that let me root their phones for them knew it was nothing i did wrong.
[Fascinate General] scottzirra:
In my experience with flashing motherboards, xbox360s, etc. I would guess that it is impossible to brick your phone in CWM, but definitely possible using ODIN.

When you put the phone into download mode(plug into PC with no battery, hold volume down) and have the yellow "construction" android (no idea what it is supposed to be, but that's what it looks like to me) the phone will accept any package you push to it, and writes to protected areas of the phone, like the most base levels possible. I imagine if you wrote the wrong files to the phone using ODIN, or unplugged the phone during the process that it would likely brick.
[Fascinate General] roketteere:
Hey I accidently flashed the Mesmerize odin n didnt brick lol... It actually worked...so I guess that can be a story...unless everyone has already tried that lol

I didn't really "brick" my phone, but the other day while trying to flash MiuiWiz it gave me a hell of a lot of trouble. Had to revert back to stock, tried to OTA to ED01, in which it failed FOUR times. All in all, it was roughly about a 5 hour procedure. Once it was up and running, couldn't be happier. Phone runs nice and smooth, and battery has slightly increased.
[Fascinate General] jeepo500:
I once flashed an i900 rom, which would't finish booting and included cwm 3, so I couldn't flash my old rom. Finally when I odin'd back to stock it only took 5 minutes to re-obtain full bloat.
[Fascinate General] DaleV:
I have soft bricked my fascinate several times on purpose. The first time was accidental, I got so exited about a new phone to play with and all the possibilities, I flashed Darky's rom for the i9000, it took me two shots with heimdall, and four more with Odin to get it running right again. So I started testing the recovery possibilities of Odin and heimdall, and even if you flash stuff in on " phone" or all those other things you are told not to do it is still recoverable usually through Odin, but if not, use heimdall. I turned that experience into a thread about how to unbrick your phone, stickied in the general section, you should see some of the stuff they have recovered their phones from. One guy even posted that Odin fixes water damage, no BS, its on the thread. So apparently, Odin fixes almost everything. Heimdall fixes the rest, the only way I know of yet to actually need a replacement is to break it not brick it. The bottom line is as long as you can get into DL mode, and there are tricks to get there if it doesn't want to work, it can be fixed. That is my thoughts until someone can prove it was phone and programs, not PC problems.
[Fascinate General] Jmatch:
Wow thats crazy stuff
[Fascinate General] stephenj37826:
Have only used odin but it can be totally bricked if you erase the bootloader from what I hear. Then it's jtag time.
[Fascinate General] DaleV:
If it is possible to brick from deleting bootloader than I am a very lucky guy. Like stated before I have tried all possible single click and combos that I can think of, as long as I had a full Odin package to restore from it always worked. I don't believe in posting a how to if I haven't thoroughly tested the process so I can confidently help those who need it. Can't help it I am one of those quality over quantity types.
[Touch HD Accessories] Chef_Tony:
as the thread title states, i need advice on picking out a bluetooth keyboard for the blackstone.

these are my requirements:

- it must contain a rechargeable battery, i don't want to fumble around with AAA batteries

- it should have a mini-usb connector for charging, so that i can use the same cable for charging the blackstone and the keyboard (micro usb would be ok too, same as my bluetooth handsfree)

- it must be capable of standard bluetooth HID profile, i don't want to be required to install drivers on every device i have

- it should have US-english key layout (i am used to it from my pc and wwe roms) and still be available in germany

- it must either have dedicated arrow keys and/or be capable of accepting two keys at a time (think of game emulators, mario should be able to run and jump at the same time, so jumping in a direction and not straight up)

actually, the last point is my main reason of buying a bluetooth keyboard, to compensate the blackstone's lack of hardware keys and multi-touch through a keyboard, that should provide "multi-touch" (multiple keys pressed).

since the blackstone's microsoft bluetooth stack seems to be unable to connect to wiimotes/ps3 sixaxis controllers with cobaltcontroller and those controllers are even more expensive than bluetooth keyboards, i thought i'd hit double jeopardy by going this way.

long story short: can anyone tell me, whether these keyboards are any good:

http://www.amazon.de/Hebron-Bluetoo...U5MK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1300287867&sr=8-9

http://www.pearl.de/a-PX2563-1002.shtml?query=bluetooth+keyboard

i know there are also a lot of chinese knock-offs around with very poor quality, but i also don't want to spend 90eur on a logitech dinovo mini. if any of you can name a good quality keyboard for less than 50eur, please feel free to suggest.
