[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkwagon:
anyone know how to fix this cache error? can we do it from fastboot? i have tried to load other img's using

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash cache cache.img

nothing, still cwm does not work, i does load (after 3-4 min) even my OS will load after 5-10 mins, its just helllllla slow,

i did notice that CWM works with the screen buttons instead as well, the volume and power do nothing...

HELP PLEASE!

i have noticed a few things on my phone, ( installed trinity kernal . TEUV-MIUI-Any-NS+4G-30082011) and my baseband doesnt work now (so i can not install rom manager) and when i boot up in boot mode, if i select recovery, it goes into cwm (not the stock one, )

so i tried to flash, a "recovery.img" from my backed up folder, i got

Failed (remote write fail)

i hit recovery, it rebooted and said, no boot or recovery rom,

then i flashed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img and then it booted into cwm . and i was finally able to load my restore file into it.

for some reason , i didnt wipe the cache, and not im still stuck in crappy super laggy mode
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkwagon:
i was able to flash the cache, the CPU is fried i think.. hopefully i can get a warranty

from samsung.
[Nexus S General] dman777:
Man....I can't tell... with the stock music player versus power amp, is there a difference between sound quality? This comparison is with eq and tone controls off in poweramp.
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
there might be.. Try them out and see.

Edit: oops.. I guess if you can't tell it doesn't matter :)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
if you want differences in sound quality, try a kernel with Voodoo Sound. I recommend Netarchy's 1.2.5a/1.2.8 BFS or CFS. when you flash this kernel, get Voodoo Control from the market
[Nexus S General] kmmxracer:
I love the sound quality I get out of powersmp. But then again I haven't tried messing with the voodoo sound stuff.
[Nexus S General] fosdos4790:
^this. Voodoo sound will blow you away.
[Nexus S General] dman777:
ya'll didn't see my signature? can there be a voodoo patched kernel with color only? no.

i wasn't asking for a better sounding qaulity media player. i was asking if there is an actual diff. between sound quality/personality with stock media player versus poweramp(with it's tone and eq settings off).
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
Voodoo and poweramp is AWESOME. Non voodoo i like lithium player best :)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
And I wasn't being out of relevance but helping you by telling you to get Voodoo Sound.

Voodoo sound + Poweramp will make cause a eargasm.

So get it. If you don't like the kernel.. you can disable it or revert back to your previous kernel.
[Nexus S General] dman777:
How did this topic become "Is Voodoo sound good"? I already have voodoo sound! I have had voodoo sound! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VOODOO SOUND. I just want to know if there is a diff. in sound personality between the 2 media players: Poweramp and Stock Media player
[Nexus S General] tominater12:
Poweramp is much better. It actually has an EQ plus a ton of other settings.
[Nexus S General] phillevy:
This still ignores the OP's very good question - we know Power Amp has better eq and interface than the stock player, but does it actually sound better than stock with eq switched off? I tried to compare the two using my Etymotic Research ER4 earphones which are very revealing - for me the stock player sounded a bit muddier than Power Amp with slightly less detail coming through , but saying that it was a smoother sound easier on the ears which may benefit earphones with less bass. Winamp seems somewhere in between but I need to do more comparisons with different music. However good Power amp's eq may be, it is always better to have this switched off if your earphones and source material are up to it.
[Nexus S General] rborg:
Is there really a difference? Aren't they both (all music players for that matter) using hardware deciding and/or Android sound stream api? They should sound the same as if I wrote my own player in a dozen lines, right?
[Nexus S General] phillevy:
I think the difference is in how the players are configured for flat response - the stock player, not having any built in eq seems warmer than power amp - this gives it good alround compabilty with a variety of earphones. Power amp on the other hand is less coloured to my ears resulting in a flatter spectrum - I think this is actually more accurate, but less forgiving of poor sources and earphones. Personally I get a better sound from power amp. Voodoo makes both sound fantastic though - easily as good if not better than my X series Sony Walkman.
[Nexus S General] Babydollll:
I find Power Amp to have a fuller sound (without tone or eq) than stock. It also seems to highlight treble sounds a little better. (I'm no audiophile) Just my opinion that's probably wrong

Sent from either my N1, Nexus S or telepathically using two tin cans and some string (I still can't decide I really love string)
[Nexus S General] dman777:
Yes, thank you.

Here are my findings so far...this is with using only the eq in cm7 rc2. Not using any tone adjustments in the players:

1) Stock- Has the best sound stage and mids. Meaning stereo seperation is really good. However, bass is not as tight as the others and highs not as sharp as the others. The sound signature did have a more full sound(all instruments were fully present without some being muted). This player had the best natural non colored sound also. Missing Que option...big burden for me.

2) PowerAmp- Had the punchiest tightest bass and the sharpest and cleanest highs. Mids were so so. Sound stage(stereo seperation) was the worse of the three. lestioning to regage some detail on instruments were muted since the mids were recessed and sound stage was minimal. The sound signature was the most colored...unnatural(this was with the eq and tone settings off). This had the best GUI interface.

3) Winamp- inbetween the stock player and Poweramp. Although the stock player still had a significantly better sound stage. Interface was ugly. But had good functionality like Poweramp(like que option).

If the stock player had a que option I would just stick with that. Wish it did :(

I used Super hi pro inner cannal buds to test. I will test again with Shure headphones which will be a better test.
[Nexus S General] phillevy:
I'd be interested if supercurio had a take on this?
[Nexus S General] rborg:
Really? I'd love a developer's explanation if there is an actual difference in audio stream playback. I just can't imagine any of the devs reinventing the wheel for decoding mp3.
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
I feel like PowerAMP has some issues with flat non-EQ playback. Def sounds way off compared to any other players, and devices as well. I can play the same file off PowerAMP, Winamp, stock player, and an MP3-CD, and the latter 3 will sound relatively the same. PowerAMP, on the other hand, sounds quiet, completely lacking mid and bass, and too heavy on the highs
[Nexus S General] rborg:
To restate the op's observation that they can't tell the difference, I would still love to hear some objective comparison. With eq off, shouldn't poweramp sound exactly the same?
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
I have a very faint memory of hearing something about PowerAmp uses its own decoder? If that's the case, then I can imagine it would sound different. I personally use Rockbox, it uses its own highly efficient and quality decoder. Though, I've not really compared the sound quality to the stock player, can't really say which sounds better.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
you will need to read the thread that the rom came from. jerpelea's 2.3 rom is using a customised .52 baseband file - maybe it will work but i am unsure.

For anyone who's got same problem - I've ended up uploading 2.2.1 by tripnraver (kernel 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1) to my mobile and it works perfectly fine - radio, wi-fi, market, etc. Haven't tried camera yet but I'm really pleased. So if anybody's having same problems as I had - try it!

Syncness

I'd like to recommend this app for 2 reasons; firstly it is very good and works well.

You can sync any type of file (not just music/media ala airsync) and set up multiple profiles.

Its handy and its fast. Personally i use it to send everything to my phone now, no more wires!

The second reason is more personal, and its just because the developer is a really nice guy, his customer support is AWESOME. I think that any independent developer deserves a bit of a promo for going the extra mile.

More info on the app here:

And for the record, i have no affiliation with this dev, and i gain nothing personally from recommending this app :)

OK, been screwing with iPhones for YEARS.. (Franlkly, that ****s a cakewalk compared to screwing with android phones)... Anyway, I've inherited an HTC desire that's been rooted with Clockwork 2.something, and a froyo 2.2 rom. I've since updated the hboot to 0.93.0001 FROM .83 or .84 or something... or im TRYING to get the gingervillian rom to function correctly but im having problems with the whole clockwork 3.0 thing. (I cant figure out how to install clockwork to the phone NOT the SD card.. as Im assuming i need clockwork installed to the phone to handle the whole EXT on the SD thing...

(Basically, when i run in a terminal:

su

a2sd cachesd

it returns a "cant mount sd-ext" error...

(this is my biggest problem so far... after that is... HOW THE HELL do i install clockwork to the phone (or upgrade clockwork to the phone) rather than the SD card (yes, i can run the clockwork 3.0 from the sd by entering recovery and "installing" it (which really only runs it) from the sd card (wether it's named update.zip or recovery.img or blahblahblah.zip)...

As im fairly new to the android thing (and for the record.. the android kicks the **** out of every iphone ive ever touched)... can someone PLEASE... point me in the general direction of right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBThompsonV:
really? nothing? no one has had a single issue with going to gingervillain? and cant point me in ANY direction? THIS i find difficult to believe...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adz63:
from what i understand you want to put the latest clockwork recovery onto your phone ????

if so in rom manager click (i not used it for a long time ) the top one syas something like flash clockwork / current clockwork , boot into recovery search for the zip it created and install

or you can get the img file and push it via fastboot

fastboot erase recovery (enter)

fastboot flash recovery clockwork-recovery.img (enter)

^^ thats the commands to push it once you have directed to where it is .. for eg

cd c:\ enter (then direct it to where recovery.img is preferably in tools folder of sdk )

if thats not what you want then thats just some useless info you have gathered .....lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
It's not that difficult your are just mixing up a few words.

Clockwork is a recovery, this way you can flash new roms etc. I think you are using an old tutorial about rooting etc.

1. Download unrevoked to root your device. You can select to install a different recovery in Unrevoked.

2. I would suggest using a different recovery, look for amon-ra in the rom development thread.

3. This error "cant mount sd-ext" means that you don't have an ext3 partition on your SD card. There are a lot of tutorials how to do this, but I think the easiest way is true the amon-ra recovery. (I believe that clockwork also has this option) You have an option to partion your SD card. Make that ext3 partition 512mb or 1gb in size. Set swap for 0. The rest fat32.

4. After you have done this you can type the commands again in the terminal and it will work.

You can skip part 1 and 2 if you want but I suggest that you follow them.

ps the Hboot does not matter anymore which version you have.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBThompsonV:
OK, so I've gotten a little further. Ive successfully installed Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.5 onto the phone itself (installed via terminal as:

su

flash_ image recovery /sdcard/Clockwork.img

Then did a factory reset of the phone, booted into recovery, formated the sd card with a 1G ext partition, and 128MB swap... the rest as FAT. Then mounted as USB, transfered the Gingervillian 1.5 image to the sd card and installed Gingervillian. Booted into Gingervillian, installed terminal and tried to move the Dalvik cache. TO NO AVAIL...

I still get an error saying that the davlik cache cant be moved.

Additionally, from Clockwork, after formating the SD card, i try to mount sd-ext and it says it cant...

any advice?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBThompsonV:
OK, apparently it's the SD card I was using (i was attempting to use a 32GB SD card... I swapped back to my 8GB sd card and it seems to work flawlessly.

Any ideas on what would stop the 32gb sd card from taking an ext partition?

(interestingly, google maps crashes when i attempt to a2sd cachesd on the 8gb sd card...)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeliveryNinja:
I didn't need to have an ext 3 partition on my card to use Oxygen and also I didn't update my HBoot from the default.

Using clockwork recovery 2.5.0.7

Just use Rom Manager to install and reboot into clockwork recovery and then from there you should be able to clear the cache and install oxygen with no problems with only a fat32 partition.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TreadFox:
I'm been searching the Nexus One Q&A section for an answer to my problems, but I couldn't find a solution. I'm running a stock version of 2.3.3 on my phone. It's never been rooted, and I have never rooted a device as well. I'm entirely new to this and have no idea what I'm doing. My device has no warranty but I'm still concerned about it. Again, I have no experience at all.

Also, I don't know if I would want to unlock the bootloader as I could lose everything. If there is a way to retain everything reliably (I don't know if those back-up applications are the most effective) that would be convenient.

So, can anyone help me root my virgin Nexus One?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
You can use this threads wiki for the N1 and the stickies here:

http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-development-hacking/

You need to read several guides until you get a good idea of what you are doing and why.

Use the apps mentioned above to back up your phone info, once rooted you can do a complete and immediate phone backup of everything, like a full image pc backup.

If you do the one-click method, make sure it is for you OS, you will be limited in some things you can do, like fastboot commands and will be unrooted if you dl OTA's.

Read, Read, Read!!!

Before you flash a rom read the op page carefully and the last 20 pages for tips, info, issues etc.

This works for 2.3.3?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
You probably saw this in XDA wiki for N1:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_&_Tutorials#Root

I would unlock, more options as you get more into flashing and you can't be unrooted by Google OTA's.

This is good guide for the S, but you can glean steps and maybe better understanding for the process. At the bottom in related posts is a root guide. I like the steps, but things like the fastboot and superuser may not be for the N1. However you can find them online. Just an easy to understand guide.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Sorry man, just got your message (phone died on me, and I've been playing with my other toys anyway...)

Yes, your options are to unlock the bootloader or roll back.

Both options will lose all date, so you need to backup either way.

My preference is to unlock the bootloader, but I can understand why people may not want to. Unlocking the bootloader can effect any warranty that's remaining on the phone (the phone has a 1 year warranty, no matter who owns it).

No, nothing has changed. You need to have the Android SDK set up properly. Then just boot into the bootloader by holding down the trackball while pushing the power button.

If you feel like you are in over your head, you probably are, and have not done enough reading. I just looked at danger-rat's post in the link he provided, and it seems quite straight forward, no? He even tells you how to install the drivers. "Step #3" under "To install the drivers" in the first post TELLS you that windows will detect new hardware and will ask you to install a driver. What seems to be the problem?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TreadFox:
I did, and nothing happened. At all. I asked for it to download files from usb driver. Nothing happened at all. Is it something I'm doing wrong?

I have the SDK file on my desktop, I have all of the files inside that are needed. When the computer asks me to download the drivers, I re-direct to the usb driver folder located in the SDK which is located on my desktop. The computer claimed installation was successful, but nothing happened. When I try clicking the fastboot.exe in the tools file, it immediately forcecloses. Is it my pc? Is it the file? Is it the phone? I did read the material and so far nothing has helped.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
Well, after you have installed the driver that the computer asked you to install. That's just the driver needed to sync your file and stuff on your sd card. The other driver and adb setup is needed to actually access your phone.

So I asked for it to install the wrong files? What files do I install? Because from that guide it said point to usb driver. I'm only following the guide like you all asked, and nothing happened.
