What app do I use to put it in system/app?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Root explorer or some other file manager with root access.
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
My messaging app just entirely disappeared. pasted it in system/app and it won't work :/ also tried rebooting
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Did you set the permissions to match the rest of your system apps?
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Any free apps? Root explorer cost money :-(
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
How do I do that?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Long press on the mms.apk and press permissions then set it so that all 3 are checked for read, only user is checked for write and all are left unchecked for execute.
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
I don't have that option on long press. only properties.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Permissions is right above properties.
[Epic 4G General] big_bake:
grab GoSMS from the market. It's free and works great.

I use the dark theme with list style conversation. Black backgrounds. Looks close to what I came from on 2.1.

[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
It's really not there. And it says my su binaries are old, won't flash the new one.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
2 Questions:

1.Have you updated your SuperUser.apk ?

2. Did you press RW on the upper right corner?
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
Won't let me update it. And that button doesn't exist for me either, yet again. Any other file manager with the same capabilities? This is really pissing me off now.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
You're using root explorer? It doesn't sound like it.
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
Yes, I am. I'm not a noob and I know what I'm talking about but nothing wants to work properly for me ever. the screen shots of it are different than what I have because I see both buttons on the screenies, but mine aren't there! Everything but those buttons are the same. I don't understand this
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
To get your bubble text back, download this http://www.4shared.com/file/IIsazBzV/bubble_sms-vm_sms_fix.html

Change file to update.zip and clockwork. You be back to the bubble sms.
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
Thank you, but I ended up just doing an overhaul. I reflashed my rom, and everything seemed to go smoothly after. I got the black no bubbles to work as well. Finally lol. Thank you for the help xbox!
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
I'm trying to get the black no bubble but can't get it to work either.
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
Use the mms.apk in the second post. Use root explorer to place it in the system/app folder. overwrite the existing file and reboot.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
I'm not trying to pay for root explorer. Funds are tight!!
[Epic 4G General] s9ortner:
Its definately worth it, its a powerful app and I use it all of the time.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
Thanks!! Worked flawlessly and i love it!!
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Ok I give in and brought root explorer. I can't move the file mms.apk, cause something about read only. What gives?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
change to rw. you coulda used sdx stock removal app which is free lol. these guys and there paid apps ROFL there is always free apps that give you the same functionality. like use astro for file manager and an app called mount rw so you can mount system read & write as you want with astro.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Never mind I got it to work. I thought the background was black? I got a white background o_O
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
In mms app press menu then settings scroll down then check black background then close and re open
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Hey, I put the Mms.apk in system/app and fixed the file permissions. It kept crashing until I removed Mms.odex, now it works, exactly what I wanted, but how can I put it on the TW launcher? I only have phone, contact and applications, messaging disappeared from the launcher bar.

Edit, I restored my original eb13 Mms.apk and Mms.odex files and it still isn't on the TW launcher...oops. So nandroid here I come. Is the included Mms.apk file only for de-odexed ROMS?
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Ok everything seems fine, but I can't sent or receive pictures

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwil:
hello this is my first post and i'm sorry if it is in the wrong section. i was wondering how i can tell if my phone is completely unrooted? i received a replacement in the mail and i need to send this one back. i used super one click and it said "Device does not have Superuser!" i just wanted to make sure it is completely unrooted though because i rooted it a while ago but i dont think my SD card was unmounted at the time and i dont know if that will make a difference. thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eXtink:
you can test it with an application which requires root, if it works you are still rooted, if doesn't work, congratz!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] easyyu:
After reading about 3-4 days this forum...my head is totaly in chaos.

I'm owner of u20i mini pro

Simply I do not understand many things here..

First of all I have v1.6 and what I want is to upgrade android version to use Skype and Trillian (IM client). So my first question is what is the most stabile firmware for my phone?Is there any newer versin than link in next sentence?

I try with this post:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895370

The problem is that the link for Flashtool version for that firmware is broken. So just new version can find v0.28.

I downloaded system.zip file and extract firware folder to Flashtool folder. But when I click on flash and browse to firmware folder there is nothing! So what can I do?

What does it meant to decrypt files? Do I need to decrypt that downloaded files from system.zip folder (from folder firware)???

Is it enough to make just a "Bundle Creation" from advanced menu in FlashTool v0.28 and then continue from step 6 with ftf extensions?

Notice: My phone is rooted and I have a Xrecovery instaled and have a USB drivers for flashing.

My phone is now simunlocked so I can use every sim card. Is there any danger that after I flash my phone with newer android that it wil be simlocked? Sorry for stupid question..but I must to know.

So if someone want to help me I will be thankful.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gianguido:
i've an htc desire that won't boot anymore after i've done a factory reset, it stucks at the htc green logo.

i've tried 2-3 ruu but none of these has worked for me, error 131.

the phone is s-on and no brand... just a thing: now, when i turn it on it makes exactly 7 vibration after the first, it means something?

i can't make a goldcard because i can't get in android os and use adb... only fastboot.

there's the ruu log: http://pastebin.com/i3siyE0w

[HTC Inspire 4G] neurodave:
So this is my first ever Android device, and coming from an iPhone, I must say I like it a lot. I am used to iOS, but it was not a difficult switch.

However, as with iOS, I am looking to tinker with the phone and get the most out of it. The 3 things that intrigue me the most about rooting my Inspire 4G is the updated radio flash, the fixed audio, and the overclocking ability. The phone flies as it is, but I always like to get the most out of my devices.

My biggest handicap, is coming from iOS, I have had it all handed to me on a silver platter. It had its twists and turns, especially on the iPhone 4, but it was basically click and go to jailbreak the device.

Not so easy on my Inspire.

I have read, re-read, and re-re-read all the tutorials I could, and I have downloaded quite a few files, but I stop myself time and time again. I am in fear of turning my phone into a brick.

Anyone care to give me some pointers? I am fairly technologically inclined, but I am also cautious as well when treading on new grounds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] motoman234:
The only pointers I can give you is to set aside about half your day just in case. I've heard of people doing it under an hour and I've heard of people trying to do it all day so it just depends on how everything goes. Try using bubby's method, he did a really god job on bringing all the stuff you need into one exe file. Also, download the Inspire hack kit just in case you get lost on a part. I used both of them when rooting my Inspire. Good luck, if you get lost check out the sticky at the top of the forum. One last tip, go through those 2 threads and read, read, read and read.

P.S. this section is for development.

I promise once your done and get used to the platform, apple ios will seem like a joke :).
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
The hack kit is not hard to follow at all with the included instructions. Set up adb, create gold card, run scripts and follow directions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
It's hard to brick your phone if you follow instructions. You can also return it to stock condition if you choose to. One important step that I recommend is make sure you turn off any antivirus/antimalware program before you download/install/run the program or scripts. Also, follow the suggestions that were given previously.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I recommended the hack kit, over the one click personally. People have been running into a lot of problems using the one click.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
Use the hack kit, its easier
[HTC Inspire 4G] neurodave:
So following the hack kit, I successfully created a Gold Card, and began the process of downgrading the ROM. However, when I initialize the "hackerize-ace setup-downgrade" prompt, I get a "The system cannot find the path specified" although I do get the infamous # that is supposed to give me the "go-ahead"

When I try to go ahead and run the prompt "hackerize-ace install-downgrade" I get the pushing rom info, but nothing happens.

I have tried this as the instructions dictate to do with the phone on charge-only and debugging mode on. I disabled fast boot, also tried to re-enable it.

I'm lost...
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Be patient. It takes a while for the ROM to be pushed to your SD. I didn't think it was working the first time either, but I just let it go and it worked fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
i hope you figured this out already, but an issue i had is that my computer lost connection with my phone after 4-5 commands in cmd. try rebooting your pc. hope that helps!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melodicjunkie:
Im running GVillian 1.5 on my G2, my battery at stock would go green at 100% only.

I plugged in my phone at 55% and by 57% it went green, It was charged for about 25 minutes. I went to check on it and it stayed at 57% and I was like wtf..

I rebooted my phone and than it said 90% (I was assuming that my battery indicator app froze.....maybe because of my task killer)

My main problem is this: Why does it turn green at 90?

Secondly: Why did it charge from 57% to 100% in 27 minutes?

Is the calibration incorrect?

My battery also looses life semi-fast.. not as fast as others from there posts I had read.. But none the less, I can atleast SEE the numbers go down as im posting threads (browsing the net in general)

THANK YOU!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tan-ce:
I remember reading somewhere that with CM (of which GV is derived from), it's expected behaviour that the charging LED will go green after 90%. At least that's the behaviour I'm getting on my phone as well.

If you're worried about battery calibration, I'll suggest you charge to 100% and then wipe your battery stats. There's a guide on how to do this (including doing a full calibration with draining your battery completely).

I think it's a debated issue, but I don't use task killers - they seem to me like more trouble than they're worth. Also, if you google for "Android Task Killers Explained" you'll find an article on why you shouldn't be using them anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Afaik the kernels show green at 90% because the batteries often cycle charge up to 100%, drain back down to 90% and charge back to 100% when you keep them charged in order to not damage the battery. Because of this, anything over 90% is a "full charge" according to the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melodicjunkie:
I uninstalled my task killer and using watchdog..

My battery dies even faster.. at 100% using atk, I don't loose percent for like 25 mins..

With atk gone and watchdog replaced I went from 100 to 96 in about 15 mins

I'm going back to atk
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
You can't calibrate a l-ion battery for crying out loud. Back to topic....my battery stays green till I hit 25%, not sure what the big deal is.

You know you can kill running services from settings built into your phone right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Chill man. You might try understanding something about the phone before stressing yourself over a irrelevant fact. It's called "calibrate battery stats" meaning it re-calibrates the status and parameters of the battery on the phone. It doesn't touch the battery.

Also, he's not talking about the battery icon on your screen - he's talking about the LED behind the speaker.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
vvv This vvv

We're not calibrating the battery, we're calibrating how the phone reads the battery. Yes it may be a misnomer, but it's a bit easier to say.

So, I have a mini bluetooth keyboard that I want to attach to my phone using the extra battery cover, epoxy, and some hinges. However, I need the hinges to be especially strong and tight as I am going to attach the keyboard backwards in a Motorola backflip-esque layout so the keyboard doesn't cover the screen. Does anybody have any idea what type of hinges I should look out for, or what type of epoxy to buy, or any other tips of the trade in something like this?
[Vibrant Accessories] nickmcminn60:

[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
You want to glue the keyboard to your phone?
[Vibrant Accessories] funkybunk:
Well, I honestly don't care about the outcome because if I dislike it, I can just buy a new back cover. Hell, the phone came with two in the box if I regret it. And I'm just looking for either a hinge with a hold on itself so that it can support the phone (as I'm pretty much installing them in a way where they would normally just flap around) and some sort of material that can stick with epoxy, considering we don't have a lot of space in the phone's back cover for screws.
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
have you tried velcro?

also can you post the link of the keyboard you are using?

Why not use blue tooth?

[Vibrant Accessories] funkybunk:
...Did you read not just the title, but the actual post? I am using bluetooth for the keyboard, and now I'm attaching it with small box hinges and epoxy. Wish me luck. xD
[Vibrant Accessories] thegreatcity:
I've seen it done before on an HD2 with the same keyboard and it didn't look half bad.
[Vibrant Accessories] funkybunk:
So I am almost finished with it and my results were satisfactory. I messed up a lot so there is a lot of extra epoxy and it doesn't look too good at the moment, but if I can find epoxy remover that is plastic-safe I could clean it up a bit more. Another issue is the way it was positioned that made me have to redo the entire thing. If you bring the keyboard too close to the edge of the phone, it won't fold all the way out and will hit the volume buttons. That is because of the curved design of the phone. I'm thinking of going over the whole thing with spraypaint once I get extra money, as I also had to use aluminum pieces to compensate for the small size of the hinges to attach it to the back (It won't work attaching them from the sides.) When I get it cleaned up (or not, if I can not have people in the thread going "zomg you just ruined your vibrant gtfo") I can post pictures of the basic hinge design I did. If you want to try it yourself, know what you're getting into because the vibrant isn't as square as the hd2.

[Vibrant Accessories] funkybunk:
It has no use to me, considering I already purchased and attached the keyboard and the keyboard is supposed to be for text messaging mostly, and carrying a bigger bluetooth keyboard is just inconvenient for me.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzafan:
Hi,

Guys, please help!!

I installed new 3.14 ROM (using HSPL) in the same way I had installed my 1.66 ROM before...

I backed up my HD2 with SPB backup and after I restored it, I keep getting "manila.exe" error message all the time and the device is crashing all the time!

What should I do? What is that manila???

Id the problem in backing up or in the installing of the new ROM?

How could I solve this manila.exe problem?

Thanx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
The manila is part of the HTC Sense, and I beleive you problem is from the SPB back up. You made a pretty drastic jump from your old 1.66 ROM to the 3.14 ROM. Parts of the back up is probably not playing nice with the new ROM as it was backed up from the much older ROM. I suggest you back up all your personal informatiion you like contacts using the SPB back up bit take and move all your documents, pictures, videos, and etc to your SD card and do a hard reset. I have ne dr been a fan of SPB back up, I know it makes changing ROMs easier but it sometimes causes problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzafan:
Thanx for the answer!

I somehow managed it to work though...

I hard reset it, then flashed ROM again, then backed it up wut without "overwrite files" option in SPB...

We'll see how it will work further...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
You need to do a hard reset and reinstall all applications. SPB Backup is only useful for restoring to the same ROM version.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jerkyxi3:
Now that we have GPS sharing via wifi I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that will let me control my nook with my phone in a similar manner. It would be great if I could play games on the nook and use my evolution as the controller. I know a lot of you are waiting for Bluetooth to use the wiimote in this fashion but I think that goes against the portability of the nook. I don't think its practical to carry the clunky wiimote around with you but I already take my evolution with me everywhere.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rulevoid:
Good idea, however i can't stand not feeling buttons click when playing games (other than angry birds of course). I don't care how bulky I like me a controller. (=

What do you guys recommend to save battery? This team whiskey custom rom sucks battery up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vibrantnew-b:
They all do. The best thing you can do is leave it hooked up all day and use it as little as possible. Actually, I have not used any of these yet but I hear pretty good reviews for Juice defender & Startup Auditor both found on the market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevho00:
I just don't want to use one of those apps because I used juice defender and it turned off my 3g to save power, and it never ever came back on. Even after I reboot it didn't go on. So I had to flash back to an earlier rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Custom Roms drain battery even more than stock ones do? WTF? The most important reason why Im intending to install one is the ****ty battery life on my Vibrant that the Froyo stock update only made it worse.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevho00:
Is there any extended battery for the vibrant out?!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
With most of the custom ROM's out there you should get about 15 to 20 hrs of battery life. Trigger and Auxura will get you 20 to 25. Those numbers are with normal use. If you're talking, texting, watching You Tube and playing Angry Birds all day you're gonna kill your battery alot quicker.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
So trigger's rom is more battery efficient than that of bionix?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laazyboy:
It certainly seems like it to me, although I believe that I installed Overstock 1.4 incorrectly when I tried to flash it after I put Bionix on there (receiving horrible battery life), whereas I used the .zip for Trigger that included Overstock already. Not sure if it was that or simply due to the difference in Roms. I don't usually have 3g and wifi on when I'm not using it, but even with frequent texting I get about 40ish hours total according to Battery left.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Cool, then Trigger it is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Trigger and Bionix give approximately the same battery life if using overstock kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
And by that you mean preserving the stock kernel when flashing the custom Rom, right? Im a noob in this you know :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Na, it's called "Overstock Kernel" it comes with trigger by default, so you'd just leave it for that. However, you'd need to download it for Bionix and first flash the rom, reboot, and then flash the kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robcii:
Easy way to save battery, when not using data is to put your phone on the edge network instead of 3g, phone works great on edge. you only need 3G for data use
