[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techydan:
Hey, I'm new to the forum, finding it after having the lag on my HTC Desire HD and turning on USB Debugging mode to fix the /init problem.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the default action on the home screen when pressing the search button from going to search anything (By HTC) to the Google Search app. I find the Google Search app faster and with more features.

Sorry if this has been asked before. Also, I'm running the stock version of Android (2.2) which came when I got this phone. I have not rooted the phone or anything.

Thanks,

Danny
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jonnyp1113:
Hey guys, I'm definitely a novice in these matters, but this is the first time I've had a problem so I'd appreciate some help.

While my Droid was on FRG83D I rooted with SuperOneClick using rageagainstthecage. I had to install PdaNet to get it to work, but it did work for me. This morning I got the OTA update for FRG83G and downloaded and installed it just a few minutes ago.

I didn't unroot my phone before I did this.

Afterwards the two apps I use that require su won't work (Barnacle and ROM Manager for backups, I don't have a custom ROM flashed to my phone yet) so I ran SuperOneClick again, ran root using psneuter. Still didn't work so I unrooted using psneuter. Then I realized that I should probably unroot using rageagainstthecage and did so. So at this point (theoretically) my phone was unrooted. Then I ran root with rageagainstthecage again and my two apps still won't work.

Every time I rooted or unrooted using either method SuperOneClick worked seemingly perfectly.

So here's my question: What did I do wrong? And just as importantly, how do I fix it so I can have root access on my phone again?

*Edit* Well this is pretty embarrassing. I just rebooted my phone and tried Barnacle again, and the su acceptance box came up like it's supposed to. I suppose I'm back to being rooted. I think I'll leave this here, and if anyone has any constructive criticism of my (lack of) process or comments about why things acted the way they did and why it works now I'd like to hear it. I'm all about learning more about all of this.

For anyone who has been following my Nebula ROM thread, you might already know that I've been quite busy since taking a new position at my company. I have all intentions of keeping Nebula alive and kicking, but I need your help. I no longer have enough time to do updates, fixes, theming, testing, and releases entirely myself at the level of stability that I require, and the scope of the project is getting larger. With source code released, I intend to expand to kernel development as well. This is why I have decided to expand the Nebula project and open the doors to some new faces.

I have openings for the following....

1) Kernel Developer - Perhaps 1 or 2 depending on how much time they have

[ ] Open

[ ] Open

2) Theme Developer - Somebody who is experienced in doing this the right way and not just hacking up files

[ ] Open

3) ROM / Validation Developer - fixing bugs, closing out issues, creating ways to validate the ROM before we send it to testers, automating the process at bit, adding info to wiki

[x] SprintSucks

[ ] Open

4) Testers - I have historically done all of the testing myself with a very high level of success (read luck). It is time to broaden the coverage and have more testers before a release.

[x] intx

[x] darkierawr

[x] iSaint

[x] flopez76

[ ] Open

Why would you want to be on the team?

Experience with a collaborative development project.

Experience with Android development.

Experience with source code management (currently using SVN)

Experience using issue tracking (using google code)

Clear goals and direction of ROM - Stability, reliability, battery life, functionality

Be part of a team using best practices for development, issue tracking, testing

Do you get payed?

Nope. I don't even ask for donations. Currently I have a blurb about my photography business. With the addition of other members, I will be removing most of that and recommending any and all donations be made to ptfdmedic at his blog lostandtired.com.

If interested you can reply below, or PM me with your interest and qualifications.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
My fault. Sorry. I'm running that CM7 19 VERSION. I am using the red theme from the market. I can't use juice defender simply cause it doesn't support gingerbread yet. I'm using 60676 prl. Can't even find the pri but I'm assuming it's still 1.77 unless cm came with 1.9.

Flashed it 24 hours ago. Haven't switched kernals cause I have had horrible experience with anything other than stock with myn's. I reinstalled all my apps and kik messenger is on lockdown with autostarts. So therefore it doesn't eat up partial wake time and doesn't open unless I do it manually.

Give any new rom at least 2 days to fully "get settled".

What kernal do you recommend? I'm not too familiar with cm.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregbradley:
Stock, until you get those issues ironed out. "Stock" sounds lame, but CM7s kernel is far from stock :)

After that, I use savaged-zen with much success. Though everyone will tell you that kernels behave differently with different phones. Spend a week trying a few for like 2 days at a time and see which one you like the most :) Also, play with the governor settings (under settings/cyanogenmod settings/performance). I personally use the SZ kernel with the "interactive" governor and find it to be the best balance between speed and battery life.

I am 100% sure it cannot be done easily, never heard of a method to convert it anyway. I am not a chef,but I guess you have to cook it separately, just ask the chef of a ROM you'd liked to have in a NAND form, and maybe (but probably not) he will cook a nand version.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
If you set another launcher as default and then reboot, it shouldn't run the default launcher anyway.

And the name of the Touchwiz launcher is "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk".

Don't delete it, move it to /sdcard/ so you've got a backup.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
You can also just freeze the appa instead of deleting/moving it. Use Titanium Backup or similar to freeze it and then it wont run.

Alternative if you want to remove you can also use SystemApp remover if you cant locate the correct apk.

[Focus General] kms108:
I was to purchase the focus yesterday, but many problem prevented me from doing so, the shop is well know and provide very good service, anyway the phone was stated unlocked, but two units were still lock, whiles another two I have check was unlocked, but have screen problems and whiles I tried to download the display tester to. Check for pixel problem, I get the message, something like "your app limit have been reach, please connect to Zune and update".

Does anyone know what this mean, and has the update for the focus been released yet, after the first update which have killed many Samsung phones.

Lastly, if a update is available, will it rectify the limit problem.

Guys, i have a problem with this ROM. It's related to PHONE.apk. Every time i try to add a contact it goes to GOOGLE CONTACTS and not the phone contacts. Even when i restored my vcard it only shows google contacts when i clic on the contact tabs. Is there a way to see the PHONE contacts and not google contacts ??

In the display options there is no option for display only the PHONE CONTACTS

For my phone, i just go to the contacts screen press the left button and select "display options". In that screen you should be able to select "only contacts with phones" and it won't show any of your contacts that are just email addresses, or twitter, etc

I have V4.5.7. though so I'm not sure if it would be different.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m11kkaa:
Hi,

I did a few reflections about bootloops in android caused by apps-manipulation.

Basically, a bootloop is an error while loading the android-java-system(maybe caused by a defect framework).

So our problem is the mountpoint "/system" where all these things are located.

Now I have the idea to give the user the possibility(with a key-sequence) to mount a working system-image instead of the "normal" one. So he could take back his changes and solve the bootloop without reflash the phone.

I searched for a script which will be executed very early. I came across the the file "/init.rc", but sadly the changes cannot be permanently saved.

Please post all your ideas so we can find a solution together.

PS: I am working on a Motorola Defy. Hopefully all devices uses the same filenames for bootscripts.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HomerSp:
init.rc is a part of the boot partition, so you'll need to extract it from a boot.img and then you can fastboot flash it back.

Most custom roms also have a directory where you can put custom scripts to be run during boot (usually /system/etc/init.d).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m11kkaa:
In the nadroid-backup of the MotoDefy there is no boot.img.

Do I have to backup it manually or is it part of the phone's internal bootloader(which is protected)

Edit: There is no "/etc/init.d" and I don't know of any other script-Locations like this.

[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Yes.

What I'd suggest to do.

1. Enter recovery mode (vol up vol down home and power) and do a reset

2. Remove the batteries, end the odin process (if running). keep the batteries out for a couple of minutes

3. Try making another one package tar while waiting for the couple of minutes

4. Put the batteries back after several minutes/when the tar is finished.

5. Enter download mode and try flashing again.

6. If you fail do the above 5 steps again except make two tars, PDA (factoryrfs and zimage) and Phone (modem) and flash as multiple files

7. Download JPM from the alteernative source posted in this thread, repeat 1 and 2 and flash that.

Edit: Is your phone i5800 or i5801? You could try that firmware, but if your phone is i5801 make sure there is no bootloader (spl and boot) in what you are slashing

If I decode that correct (why do you save yourself a few keystrokes at the expense of the reader who then has to muddle through something that looks like some pile of random letters? We're using plain English here), you dowloaded a zip file ..

Ermm ... why that? Who told you to do so? You shouldn't convert the .zip archive into a .tar archive. Instead, use your brain and have a look at the contents of the .zip ... it contains the tar(s) you should flash.

So, in short, unpack the .zip and flash the resulting .tar(s) or .tar.md5(s).

[Galaxy 3 General] mizch:
Looks like something has unpacked your .zip, then unpacked the unpacked content again and then again.

If the above three files are the answer to my question (what the three files are named like), then you really should use no super-duper-I-know-what-you-mean-I-do-it-all unpacker, but one which just does what it is told to do, namely to unpack the archive and just quit instead of touching what is inside. The Windows right-click built-in unzipper does just that. So use a reasonable unpacker and you'll get the .tar(s).
