[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] maknz20:
Today i decided to root my evo, i used unrevoked on my mac and everything seemed to go smoothly. I then installed the evervolv rom, when the evo powered back on it seemed to be incomplete, was missing things like the market. I then decided it was no worth the effort and attempted to clear it and restore it to factory, which did not work. I then attempted to unroot it and now the phone will not get past the white HTC EVO 4G screen. I have tried putting my sd card into another phone and putting a stock zip on it and then install through bootloader which brings up an error that says "E: can't open/sd card/update.zip (no such file or directory) installation aborted."

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

That would be really cool if one could do that. Surely it would just be a software thing?

So there is one midi controller app called FingerPlay MIDI. Your android device acts as the controller and connects to a computer over a wi-fi network which it sends the MIDI messages to. Its not a Xoom app, but the interface runs on the Xoom full screen.

Hope this helps and please 'thank' if it does.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyk:
Hey all,

I've recently downloaded a few emulators which fly on my overclocked G2. I'm starting to consider using it as a gaming device, when used in conjunction with a Wiimote. The only thing missing from this equation is TV output. I've seen somewhere that TV out was possible with the G1 through a USB connector. Has anything been done for being able to do this on the G2? A USB-based solution would be ideal, but what are some other options I would I have for getting video output to a TV (or computer)?

Thanks

I was just wondering what exactly makes a .zip CWM flashable?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
I'm not sure what you're trying to ask...

Are you wanting to put CWM on to your phone via flashing with Recovery?

Or are you asking what actually makes the .zip do an update on your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
the script and layout of the files within the zip.

The second one. I was just wondering what kind of files need to be included in any zip that I would want to flash.

is there a way to keep the gingerbread keyboard independent from the screen pixel density?

when i change the density from 240 - 180 the keyboard shrinks... this is not the case with the stock HTC touch keyboard.

i understand that this could involve rebuilding the keyboard app and was wondering if there is one already fixed so it doesn't change.

If your using CM6 or CM7 search for Lithids scripts. He has a script that you can run to change the screen density that doesn't effect the keyboard.

so i decide to flash a new rom ff2.6, and decide to use aio to do it. load program, click flash to stock, then odin3 and click start. now my phone is in the download screen (android dude in triangle digging). i wait, then wait then wait somemore (about 20min).

in the message section it says

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

what should i do?

Make sure your phone is on Download Mode (the android guy in the triangle), turn on ODIN first then plug in your USB. Try again that way.

then i picked the 1click

Nothing has been flashed.

Un plug usb, pull battery. Under your battery there is a white sticker. On the left side near the top there is number, something between 1006 & 1102. What is it. If it is 1009 and lower continue, if 1010 and higher tell me.

If lower

Un plug usb

get into download

Click flash stock and get odin open

Plug phone in

A box in odin should change colors and say com

Click start

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
If it's 1009 or lower, follow these instructions:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ

1. Install the drivers if you do not already have them. When they are done installing restart your computer. You can find these drivers in the drivers folder of your downloaded folder (Install either the 32bit or 64bit version).

2. Go to the downloaded folder and open ODIN.exe

3. Get into download mode by using one of the three methods shown below. There is a known bug that some people are not able to get into download mode. If the three button thing does not work, try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818439

4. Open odin and plug in your phone. Wait 30 seconds or so for your phone to register (when it does one of those strange squares at the top will fill in with seemingly meaningless numbers and letters).

5. Press start and wait until it is finished. Do not unplug for any reason.

Really though, you should look around. It's all in here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364

It works as android put on your SD Card with a linux boot loader (haret for windows mobile)

Windows Mobile is still primary OS but later you can boot into android after windows is loaded. I havent tried android through haret (always used NAND) and I don't have pretty much knowledge about obtaining the files

androidonhtc has complete package (Final Dark Eclair) to be run from SD card's Andboot folder. You need Radio version 1.65.x or higher to have it up and running

Not that have seen. In fact I think this is the first time any has asked for this that I can remember.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kdwolf85:
I think the reason that no one has themed the stock KB1 ROM is because the stock ROM is not deodexed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
This!

I was going to deodex and experiment with themes made for Cognition, but it just seems easier to flash to Cognition!

I did get some parts of the Matted Blues theme for Cognition to work on stock KB1. All of the icons in the notification bar (battery, 3g/edge/wifi, silent, and USB icons) worked as well at the toggles in the notification bar (wifi, bluetooth, gps, silent, and auto rotation).

From what I have tried, that is as far as the theming can go on an odexed ROM.

Wow man... you should keep trying to develop this. Or other developers for that matter. It would be cool to have a theme for the stock kb1

Modding the Factory KB1 Froyo 2.2

Hey guys,

I was just thumbing through the themes section and came across this post.

I'm currently running a modified KB1 theme. I've only made specific mods to certain aspects of the KB1 theme that I wanted to see either shaped or colored differently. I'll make a mod to the status bar, the contact layout, the dialer, notification menu, etc....

For me, I'm just having some fun making my own tweaks and mods without flashing an entire ROM. Just my preference for now. I'm also learning more about the file structure and the links between certain files and file types by doing so.

Just in case anyone was interested and wanted to do as I am doing, while keeping their stock KB1 Froyo 2.2 ROMS and have the ability to make certain mods and tweaks, you can find an in depth step by step tutorial on deodexing a stock / odexed ROM.

You can find the thread right here

Have a blast...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzy388:
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move if it isnt

OK so I done the official 2.2.1 update via kies (PDA:JS5 Phone:JPY CSC:JS4) once my phone booted back up I was greeted with the PhoneSetupWizard.

Once I click finish I get

"PhoneSetupWizard (process com.sec.android.app.phonesetupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly."

and after I click the only option force closing it, it makes me restart the wizard all over again.

So my initial thought was it was just an error during update so I flashed I9000BOJS5 firmware and same thing happened.

I can still receive calls and texts and reply to them but cant minimize the wizard, I can however hold down the home key and get to the task manager and "End" the wizard but it just reappears and I can get to the notification bar.

All I can think of doing is to remove the PhoneSetupWizard.apk

Now, I only see a few options ahead of me

1. Somehow turn on debug mode and uninstall the PhoneSetupWizard.apk with the android SDK.

2. Re-flash the phone with some modified files that do not include the PhoneSetupWizard.apk (if that is possible)

These are long shots - dont even know if they will work

-Flash to 2.1 use the bypass trick to get to settings and turn on debug mode, un-install the apk, and flash to 2.2.1 again.

youtube.com/watch?v=HBh5fUtlTIM&feature=related

-Root the phone using a update.zip and hopefully giving me root access while USB connected and remove the files from within windows.

-Flash a custom Rom and bypass the setupwizard.

From what I can tell the Phone is fully functional i just need to get past the Wizard crash loop.

I cannot find the CID number of my SD card and that is ruining my whole root experience.

Yes, you do need to root your phone before you can install a custom ROM, as for the other questions I can't answer them since I don't have any experience with the Inspire 4G.
