[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
Super easy. Make sure you have ROM Manager installed (it's free on the market if not).

Now, open ROM Manager and the first option is to flash ClockworkMod recovery - do that.

Now, you can either download one of the ROMs included in ROM Manager in the 'Download New ROMs' area, or you can browse the development forum for a rom that you want to try. For that, just download the .zip file and put it on the root of your memory card.

If you downloaded through ROM Manager, it'll pop up and ask if you want to backup and if you want to wipe. Choose yes to both, and ROM Manager will automatically boot into recovery (the orange text) and perform a nandroid backup of your phone, wipe the necessary partitions, and then install the ROM that you downloaded. SUPER easy.

If you downloaded a zip file, it's still easy - open ROM Manager, and choose the 'Install zip from sdcard'. Browse to the zip file on your sdcard, and from there it'll be the same - select yes to backup and wipe and ROM Manager will do the rest.

ROM Manager is just a GUI for the recovery - you could also just boot into recovery (there's an option in ROM Manager to do this) and manually wipe the various partitions and create a backup, and then install the zip, but why should you click so many times when you can let the software do it for you?

thanks guys, i updated it to lastest villian its good so far, ill try some other roms that you guys recommended soon, thanks again for the help
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
With my Cappy, I use GPS Status and it tells me sometimes its 10 metre accuracy but the blue circle on maps is bigger than that. WTF?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
It depends if you're using relative GPS or proper GPS.

If you search around you can find out how to use LBSTestMode (which will tell you how accurate and how quick the GPS fix on your position). I'd tell you what the code is to get into that, but it's different depending on what version of Android you have at the moment.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
I am running Serendipity 6.2 do i still have access to that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Yep, you should.

Go to the phone dialer, and put in *#3214789650#

You should see the GPS menu there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
thanks. I got in there now. What do you mean by relative GPS vs proper GPS
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Your GPS will get a really rough "guesstimate" of your location really quickly, but it usually takes a while to get your proper location (within 5~40 meters).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Picsman:
There are (at least) two apps which will help you to see what your GPS is doing and why it is reporting what it is reporting. Both can be found in AppBrain and both are in the Market:

Chartcross GPSTest

GPS Status

In addition, GPS Status allows you to refresh the A-GPS data which speeds up the GPS finding satellites from your current position. (I don't think A-GPS data is refreshed automatically by Android; it was in my HTC WinMobile phone).

I think GPSTest is the easier to understand app and you can see the instant a lock is established with each bird. GPS Status reports to you how long it takes to get its first reliable position reading (which takes a minimum of three birds). Although there is overlap in their functions, the two apps together make one fantastic app! :)

Overall, for the most reliable GPS information, with full position information and fast position updates WiFi should be on and A-GPS data recently updated (which can be kept updated through WiFi). See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS

The way accuracy is determined is by an algorithm which looks at the number and location of the satellites to which the GPS is locked. In general, the more "locked on" birds, the better accuracy will be. The accuracy reading can be misleading. If you have four birds locked and loose two, it will take several seconds to report the change in accuracy. If you are moving and lose and re-lock birds repeatedly, the accuracy value can be 'way off.

BTW, it is the forth "locked on" bird that makes it possible to report altitude.

If where you actually are and where the GPS says you are are not the same, the fault is not exactly attributable to the GPS. What causes this is most likely lost and regained locks on a minimum of three birds. When you are looking at Google Map (for instance) you really don't know what your GPS is doing. At any point in time, Maps could have no consistently useful GPS data (due to the inability of the GPS to "see" three birds). Probably what should happen is the blue triangle should simply disappear unless the GPS is locked on three birds but maybe Google thought that would be un-nerving. :rolleyes: So, the blue triangle "wanders" as the GPS "wonders" where you are. Of course, a better SNR in the thirteen receivers which are the GPS would help. When Maps doesn't report where you are correctly, you can see what your GPS is doing with GPSTest. Hope this helps.

[GT540 Optimus General] deamonjones:
Not very experienced with clockworkmod
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
download clockwork and put your phone into fastboot mode then run cmd cd to the location of fastboot.exe and type this in

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

clockwork download

http://www.mediafire.com/?pbpez29fvvbz7el
[GT540 Optimus General] deamonjones:
cheers will give it a go
[GT540 Optimus General] deamonjones:
anyway of doing it through clockwork ie dropping the recovery in manually to the backup folder on the phone? cheers
[GT540 Optimus General] deamonjones:
could we possibly share clockworkmod backup images if we used same system and same clockworkmod serial? maybe a image database with all workable clockworkmod recoveries? is this just incompatible or could it be done if both had same system ie cyanmod 7 2.2.3 and clockwork mod say for eg 3.0.0.5? noob dream?....!!!
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Hi the ROM has nothing to do about it maybe i think could be a problem with the clockwork mode version but everybody should have it updated.

There is a file with .Md5 extension that is in charge of the only 1 validation of the original file(.img files), if any of these files has been corrupted then the validation will fail.

MD5 data is created by a algorithm that examines the original file and creates a short(-ish) checksum data string out of the original file's characteristics​

And the validation of what im saying is that we can go back to past ROMS with any problem :D

Greetings!
[GT540 Optimus General] deamonjones:
Thanks for explanation but could you help with my clockworkmod issues? Eohogen told me what to do but I'm a bit slow could you explain what he means and all the steps involved please no disrespect to him but he must have thought I'm more tech savvy than I am cheers
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Hello ok i will help you with this:

1. you need to download the recovery_clockwork_3.0.0.5_swift.img file from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?pbpez29fvvbz7el

2. copy the file into the C:\*SDK\tool folder, like this:

3. put your phone into fastboot mode (hold CAMERA+POWER button) until you pass LG logo and see nothing else than a black screen

4. plug your phone to you computer

5. open the command prompt of your windows (CMD)

6. type

cd C:\*SDK\tools
fastboot -w (wipe data just in case)
fastboot flash recovery recovery_clockwork_3.0.0.5_swift.img
fastboot reboot

7. once is done unplug you phone wait 2 minutes for let the applications and so load properly

8. reboot in recovery mode to test if it worked!

GOOD LUCK! ;)

Brought back to life in 80% after washing mainboard with isopropanol. These arent waterproof: LCD,water under - paleness and ugly colours, hold key is failing sometimes, also it thinks permanently that headset is connected, thats not connector fault, and of course loud speaker sounds like a poo.

(anyone knows where does lines from headset connector go on board?)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:

did you kill it by yourself or it just fall in water???

how much time did it last alive in water(seconds:D) or it just was dead when it was in it??

BTW the pics are really good:)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rebellos:
I was really surprised, threw it accidentaly into water, deep for like 25cm, it spent about 5 seconds underwater, still playing music (!) and showing everything on lcd, was still working when I was taking battery out.

Btw, I can't find FSA9480A anywhere there. Can you? Is it POP mounted? Or maybe it is under camera controller (or whatever is that thing to which is camera connected), there is something under that.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] jake792:
Wave is indeed waterproof(atleast to my luck)

I took my phone like an insane to rafting! started video recording,then kept in pocket & it fell within boat which had around 5cm water and was there for 5-6min(i didnt get know while enjoying) then checked it was working well and also recived a call. Then to be on safe hand side i removed battery & kept for drying 1 day. No problems after that; its still working very well!

The first link is the phone in question. And it gives a score.

This is my previous post in story form:

The HTC Shooter has an Adreno 220. This is a link to a GLbenchmarks of the HTC Shooter. Look at the score, 22.7fps. Now check out the iPad2 running a larger resolution and scoring DOUBLE the HTC Shooter. Meh. I will wait for a phone running the GPU the iPad2 uses or better. Edit: Here is a Tegra 2 phone with the same resolution as the HTC Shooter for comparison.
[Epic 4G General] b15love:
The gpu alone isnt everything. Look at the optimus 3d, it scored higher than tegra devices and this device with the our gpu. Any why are you comparing the ipad 2, we are talking smartphones here. Currently no smartphone houses this gpu, only tablets and psp. This gpu might never even make it into a phone. the comparison is pointless.

hey guys, so i was wondering that if i could reduce the vibration when i recieve a txt message..

ive seen it drains alot of battery.. and when it vibrates..it last for about 3-4 seconds and i dont really need that much to know i have a message..

if you guys know about and app or mod to control the lengh of this ..tell me please..i would love to

Thanks would be given
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
There is not a way i know of that will do this within the software pre se. You could try turning haptic feedback on system-wide and then in your keyboard settings turn it off (I use Swype and it has a check box for "Vibrate on keypress")

But If you use some other messaging app (maybe handcent) you may have better control

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Whipon:
Hello ^^.

Well, my Atrix arrived yesterday and I noticed the GPS took too long to get a lock.

Also I tested it outside and couldn't get a lock with NDrive and with Google Maps it gave me a 900 meters accuracy.

So I remembered the gps.conf file under system/etc

Here's a copy paste of the original one:

SUPL_HOST=h-slp.mnc410.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org
SUPL_PORT=7275
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

"h-slp.mnc410.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org" is the AT&T A-GPS server. It only works with AT&T. I remember this from my Captivate days, hacking jupiter.xml.

So I changed it to:

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

Then we have the ntp server. File is configured to North America, wich doesn't apply to me because I'm in Argentina. I changed mine to South America as follows:

NTP_SERVER=south-america.pool.ntp.org

So here's the final result:

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
NTP_SERVER=south-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

If you're not in South America, you can search for your respective ntp server HERE.

Now my gps is working perfectly.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] bl0wf1sh:
My Atrix came w/o an SD card. Bought a class 4 16GB one. That gives me a total of 28GB for media (the remainder is for apps and system, fixed). I find 16GB has the better price point, 32GB is more than twice as expensive.

Note: there is a directory /mnt/sdcard/ that refers to the internal storage. If you pop in an actual miniSD card, it is mounted under /mnt/sdcard-ext/

BTW thanks for the GPS hack. I'll do it as soon as i get mine (after rooting it).

I bought mine unlocked.

I heard lots of people unlocked theirs with cellunlock.

I don't have any bugs, besides the multitouch one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lukexk:
I've got mine last week.

Unlocked with cellunlock with no problem. The only weird stuff is that they sent me a set of 3 numbers. I've unlocked the phone with the first number, no idea what's the other 2 numbers for.

I've got no problem with the GPS it locks pretty fast in outdoors.

But I have the annoying notification bug, the whole motoblur mail client works pretty bad, at least with exchange.

I'm not sure if the WiFi bug is happening to me, but I don't know how to test for it either.

Another thing I've noticed is that I have very low signal in HSDPA and it swtichs to EDGE a lot... dunno if it is a configuration issue or a carrier problem.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gonto:
The only configuration you should do is adding the APN. internet.gprs.unifon.com.ar for Movistar. Regarding the WiFi bug, if you can connect to any router, you don't have it :P. I'm planning to freeze MotoBlur as soon as I get it because it sucks, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972459 for more informatio.

Thanks for the information guys!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lukexk:
I can connetc to all the WiFi networks I've tried so I suppose it's working right.
