Civil posted:The file on the SD card doesn't really matter. Just run ROM Manager and have it flash the latest, it's safe and will not kill your phone. Test to see if you're running the latest by booting into recovery and see which version you're running. The latest should be somewhere around 3.0.5 and will look orange instead of green. There's no good reason to stick with a previous version of clockwork. Koush can explain it a lot better than I can.

Solly posted:My contract says I cant use wifi tethering, I bought the phone with no sim so there is no network software crap on it, is there any way they can see if you use wifi tethering without their software on your phone? Solly posted:I think I may have fixed my problem with android system going rouge and using 100% cpu, I've reflashed and re-partitioned my sd card. Previously the sd card had a swap partition which I could not get rid of until now, I have a feeling that oxygen was somehow trying to use the swap unsuccessfully since its not really coded to do that (afaik) and this was causing android sys file to go nuts. Is this possible or am I just talking crap?

terrorist posted:Hi, I'm coming in with sort of an after action report, and I'm just wondering what step I did wrong. I'll preface this with I'm an idiot, and I was only rooting (or trying to) because I wanted something to do. And wireless tethering would be awesome. If you're back to factory, why not just follow whatever guide you're using and try selecting the correct options this time?

Got a question for G2 CM6/7 users: My buddy has a G2 running CM6, the last stable one. Well he got hit by the SMS to the wrong person bug and asked if there was something he could do. I know this was fixed in 2.2.2 and 2.3.2, but I don't think there was a stock G2 update to 2.2.2 and the CM6 version he's on reports the Android version as 2.2.1. Was there a CM6 nightly for the G2 that fixed the SMS bug or used 2.2.2? If not, how are the CM7 nightlies for the G2? Everything I read on xda and the Cyanogen forums suggest that they're pretty lovely. I'd honestly rather wait until CM7 was a lot more polished but he's not too happy about the SMS being sent to the wrong person so I'm doing what I can to help.

z3bracak3 posted:If I remember correctly the wrong message recipient thing was a Froyo bug? I'm not 100% sure but I'm running CM7 on my G2 and that issue is gone away, and I have no problems. Desire Z's have many many issues according to XDA but our vision g2s dont have wifi/data/call problems. The major issue is GPS not locking on. I flashed CM7 a week ago, GPS would tell me I was a street over in my house. I did another wipe yesterday, and now I have 0 issues and great battery life (flash pershoot kernel) Thanks for clearing up the Z/G2 thing, I thought that might've been the case looking at the posters' locations on xda. I'll let my friend know that the most current CM7 nightly seems to be doing better on GPS. Thanks to deong too!

I try and run AdFree and when it tries to modify the hosts file it reboots - but when it comes back up and it checks it, the change has not been made. Anyone know what this could be about?

Why not just use the CM6.1 stable? Why use stock (and Sense) when you can have most of what you want while you wait for the last 10% to get done?

I have a MT3G, rooted and running CM 5.08 (the last version that was fast for me, unfortunately), but I'm planning on heading to Europe for a while and it'd be nice to be able to use my phone. I could call up T-Mobile but their service has gone to poo poo recently and I figured I'd ask online first. I know the G2 has an easy way to SIM unlock but I don't know that any of the other ones (except probably the MT4G) do. You might want to search on xda under the HTC Magic.

serewit posted:I've got an Inspire 4G (Desire HD) that I rooted and put CM7 RC2 on yesterday. Whenever I turn wifi on and scan for APs, the phone crashes and goes into an unrecoverable reboot cycle, only way out is to boot into recovery and wipe. I've checked the CM forums and haven't seen anything about this, is it something with CM7, my phone, what? If not, try redownloading CM7, wiping everything (cache, dalvik, and the system, all separately), then trying again. Did you wipe all that out the first time? This sounds like everything wasn't wiped.

LiquidRain posted:CM7 just merged a Gingerbread fix for all devices regarding not being able to get a GPS lock after GPS has been shut off following a lock. (wow that's confusing to read) I'm having an odd problem. I was backing up my SD card to my Windows 7 (64 bit) when the copy job told me 45 files couldn't be copied because the filenames would be too long. Since I was hoping to try DT a2sd I was planning to format the card but I'm not too keen on doing that if I can't back up everything. The dialogue that comes up doesn't show which files can't be copied, and I renamed the folder to which I was copying c:\sd but still had the error. Has anyone seen anything like this and what's the solution?

rotaryfun posted:So I've been playing with SetCPU a bit. I did an auto detect when the app starts. When moving the max slider, the highest that I can set it to is 800000. How is it that you OG droid folks were able to reach 1000000? Are you on a custom kernel? You need kernel support for overclocking otherwise you'll be limited to the stock kernel settings (which in your case is 800MHz).

rotaryfun posted:Ok cool. The thing I'm worried is what happens if after the first time that I run clockworkmod to install cm6, the kernal isn't correct so it just sits there at the M. I wont be able to get back into clockworkmod would I to run a restore? What you should do is put the ROM.zip and GApps.zip in the root of your SD card, install Clockwork Recovery (however that's done on the Droid), boot into recovery, wipe (data/cache/dalvik), flash the ROM, flash the GApps, then reboot. If you want to save your call log and SMSs, make sure you back those up first using apps on the Market. Like Doctor rear end in a top hat, I wouldn't use ROM Manager to do things- just boot into recovery to do nandroids, wipes, flashes, etc. To me it just seems easier to do everything from recovery with the added benefit of knowing it got done correctly.

melon cat, you also didn't address the failure after mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak. That's trying to change install-recovery.sh to the same with .bak at the end for backup purposes and the error says it can't find the original file. It might not be a problem but I just noticed you didn't do anything about it. Are you even looking at what the error messages say when you type things or are you just banging it out and asking us when it doesn't work out in the end? This is some pretty basic stuff here.

That command removes it. If its not there move on to next step." i assumed this was the case, so I moved on to the next command line. Looks like you're almost there, though, keep at it.

But I guess the only way thats gonna happen is if I buy a better phone. oh well. Still I'd say given the Desire line is on its third iteration that if you aren't happy with the stock 2.2 Sense ROM and you just can't get a custom ROM working reliably, your only option is to get a new phone.

^^^^ They say it can do SMS, but I've never had it work. I use SMS Backup & Restore and Call Log Backup & Restore from the Market. It works great for everything else. Red_Fred posted:Actually now that I think about it are any settings, messages, apps etc deleted when you install a new rom? Depending on your situation, you can back up everything prior to moving but in some cases you can't. If you can root without wiping, then you can install Titanium Backup and your apps/app data/sms/call log/etc can be restored when you get to the new ROM, but settings can't be restored to an unlike ROM, especially if the type is different (i.e. Sense settings can't be restored to an AOSP ROM). If you're moving to a different ROM of the same type you might be able to restore backed up settings, but I'd nandroid first.

I have a question and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. A while back I read (and I'm 99% sure it wasn't here) about a way you can protect files during a reflash of CM7 by creating a text file, naming it something particular, then placing it somewhere particular (in /system/, I'm sure of that). I used it so that I could put LauncherPro in /system/app and not have to redo that every time. Well now that LauncherPro has a new version (and thus, new filename) the file isn't working but damned if I can find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Edit: And as soon as I post this, I found it on my phone. Here's what it is and how to use it for those interested. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 12:06 on Apr 7, 2011 |
