This is the device codename, its located under the battery?
Btw did you updated to the last kernel?

Thank you for helping me out.
I have updated to the latest kernel. I am using TOPA210

Can anyone please help me. I have tried everything I can think of, but no luck. I see that some people get sound.
Please help me....thank you

I have the same problem and im using the same device hTC Pure from at&t ...

TOPA200···isound work great！！

I also have topa 210 (Pure). I have found a way to ge a ringtone, but you would have to do the procedure after reboot. Also i have not found a way to get notifications or alarms yet. Hope I don't have to
1. boot into Andoroid
2. Open media scanner (You should be able to play music from your sdcard now!)
3. Using Astro file manager, navigate to sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
4. Select a ringtone you want to use (you can play it first).
5. Hold the File down until menu comes up
6. Select music options
7. Select set as ringtone
8. Enjoy!
If you look to see if your ringtones are selectable, they wil NOT be there. It will still say Silent, but the ringtone will still work. Try it out.
This is for Astro, but it may work with other programs

2.2.1 Update error

hey boys
so I finally gave it and did the whole adb rooting thing... lots of command lines and so on but finally it works so I got rid of Universal Androot..
so now my problem is still there though...
I run the update.zip and I get this:
assert failed: apply_patch_check(“system/app/GenieWidget.apk”,”(insert tons of digits here″,”(insert tons of digits here)″)
“E: Error /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.”
Anybody got a solution?
My phone and its changes:
Stock Nexus One 2.2
Rooted word-per-word via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736271
Uninstalled Amazon MP3 and "News & Weather" (genie widget?)
I figure maybe reinstalling News & Weather would fix it ... but Titanium backup does not recover it even if I did back it up first... (useless??)
I downloaded the APK and instaled it, but still the same thing.
What else what else...
thanks

I'm only posting this here because I, too, have an error and am in no way trying to thread-jack. I got the 2.2.1 OTA the other day and went ahead to update. Unfortunately, I use AndRoot also and when I got halfway through the OTA, I got an error during installation. I pulled the battery, rebooted, and I was still 2.2 rooted. I unrooted with AndRoot and now seemingly have no way of acquiring the update OTA. Any advice, OP?

OTA seems absolutely random to me ... so I would download the update (found in this very forum) and rename it to update.zip and put it in the root of your sd card and run the update as prescribed on many sites...
as for my problem... damnit damnit damnit is all I can say. I know 2.2.1 is generally useless, but I want to be sure I can install Gingerbread when it comes out!!

damn so I tried 2 different versions of GenieWidget installations (it's news and weather)
seems I get the same error everytime.
I know the "simplest" thing is to run a full reinstall of my phone (recover console?) but I don't want to redo all my apps/settings... can't there be a way to recover 1 or 2 components only? in this case, amazon mp3 and geniewidget, just so that the 2.2.1 update works...?

I had the same issue with com.amazon.mp3.apk not being found (I remember deleting it as soon as I got root)... well I had to put it back under /system/app/ (meaning you can't do it via the market - only manually)
Note: the exact version that was shipped with froyo has to be installed. You can check that you have the right apk by computing its sha1 sum (that's the second "insert tons of digits here" MitchRapp refers to)

*UPDATE*
oh snap.
my friend has the same nexus one as me ... so I copied his GenieWidget.apk and .odex into my /system/app and so far so good... i got another error (com.amazon.mp3) so I'm going to copy that too
update to follow...

hey it worked!
after a (seemingly) endless "X" animation bootup... 2.2.1 is there.
now I lost the root access I just made with adb shell something something.... that's normal I guess, so I'll redo it

Uh oh, I removed amazon mp3 too...;(

toss the .apk back in /system/app and reboot and update... it worked!
now for re-rooting... that wont work damnit.
I'm doing the rageagainstthecage thing word-for-word and the thing is, when I try
./busybox cp busybox etc...
it says file already exists
and the chmod commands only give me a "read-only" error
cuz I already rooted earlier using the .freenexus style .......
what can I do for this?

Anyone happen to have the2.2 Amazon apk and willing to share?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I do, what's your email
anyone know how to re-root 2.2.1 using the rageagainstthecage without it telling me everytime that busybox file exists and is in read-only... i followed the steps to the letter...

I used superboot (1.1-FRF91-nexusone-superboot) - worked like a charm.

I had an issue with settings.apk , had used universal androot and metamorph to make changes to the battery meter.
After getting the ota , the installation was aborted due to changes in settings.apk . i downgraded to android 2.1 erd79 ( had the passimg.zip file from few months ago).
Once downgraded never got OTA for further updates ( eg ere27 , frf91 etc).
had to manually update to frg83.

Jony, Thank you.
OP, thank you anyway, I got it from Jony. Now to find the update.zip...

God bless it. Went to go install from SD, I don't have twitter. I hate twitter. Anyone have it...

The rageagainstthecage step-by-step is missing a couple steps that will cause it to give the errors you're seeing. I ran into this and posted the solution, with follow-up and confirmation by others, later in the thread. Check out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792016
In a nutshell, the /system partition needs to be mounted for both read and write in order to set permissions on the Superuser.apk and su files. Also, if you already were rooted and have Superuser.apk, su, and busybox installed, you don't have to copy them back to the phone--you can just set the permissions on the existing files.

Ohhhh jony! Can you post the twitter APK pl0x

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.
I'm not really happy with the update. Lost root ( I knew I would ) but the most upsetting thing is that I removed my work email from my phone. I had to update security settings to authorize the remote administration of my device through my exchange server at our HQ which is not happening. I know it doesn't have to be done but I was getting increasingly angry just looking at it in the notification bar 24/7.

[Q] ClockPackage on di11igaf's

Issue 1: I'm trying to install ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, MyFiles.apk in order to have the stock clock. I keep getting the error "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" when i try to use the command adb install (any of the 3).apk. I have also tried "adb push" which doesn't seem like a valid command. I tried moving the 3 apk files to my sd card on the phone and using "installer" and "eoeAppinstaller" from the market and these fail as well. Any more suggestions? I really like this di11igaf's ROM, but I cannot stand the new alarm ( i like the gradual volume increase of the stock). I have tried a couple of market clocks, but they just didn't work for me. Thank you very much in advance.
Issue 2: If I use CWM and choose Reboot into Recovery i get the following:
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Enter OK Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset

Installation aborted
At this point I can use the volume buttons to scroll up and down, but the power button will not select anything. The only thing I can do is remove the battery and boot the phone back up, which then takes me into CWM recovery v2.5.1.0. I was able to install the di11i add on, but I don't think that I'm supposed to be pulling the battery to get to this point.
Thanks again and sorry about the long post.

Im no expert on this type of stuff but I use di11i roms and I just transfer apk's to the root of the phone through the regular mass storage mode and use root explorer for the rest.Havent had any problems yet.

As for issue 2 is the package a .zip file? If not that may or may not be the problem.

From my own personal experience the 3dapp isn't sign so I can't install it too

System apps are best copied manually into the /system/app folder using app like root explorer. Make sure the folder is in r/w mode.

+1 you can simply use root explorer to copy the apk files into \system\app folder. quick and easy.

It is a zip file and it installed. What concerned me was the process. Should it have frozen up like that and forced a battery pull? Nothing I've read leads me to believe that was proper behavior of the CWM.

I don't have that directory. Are you creating it on the phone and then putting the files into it? I may have not been clear on what I am trying to do. I am trying to do what was posted in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11207089&highlight=clockpackage#post11207089 posts #2515

I just looked into exactly what you were talking about and I got it figured out.It wasnt installing for me either but this is what I did and it works now.
Through mass storage mode I copied the 3 files to the root of the card.
Then I moved the files to the app folder which is inside the system folder.
I use root explorer for the moving.
When you move them into the app folder its gonna ask to overwrite say yes.
After you get everything moved it will work if you go to the app in the drawer.I never actually installed anything but did an overwrite.

u cannot see it in my files. u need to have root access, and something like root explorer.

So it looks like I could have just copied and pasted the files from the sdcard/Clock folder I placed them in to the /system/app folder using Super Manager. I swear I tried that and it failed before I went through all the crappy steps below. Oh well.
Ok this is going to sound pretty cheap, but I didn't want to pay the ~$4.02 for an ap that I was going to use three times. I did find another way. I used Super Manager and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877316&highlight=installing+apk post #3.
So for any other cheapskates out there.
1. Install Super Manager on phone
2. Install ADB on pc
3. Connect phone to pc and copy the three files ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, and MyFiles.apk to the sd card. (I just drag and dropped in windows explorer)
4. Use Super Manager to move to /system/app/ and rename the existing file Gallery3D.apk (I renamed it to Gallery3D.old)
5. Use adb to copy the 3 files from the directory in which you originally placed them on the phone to /system/app/
in adb type:
adb shell
su
(accept the prompt on your screen)
cd /sdcard/whereveryoustuckfile
cp blahblahblah.apk /system/app/ (the red from Pirateghost).
6. Reboot
The clock and alarm work fine, but I cannot get Daily briefing option in alarm to work. I get a FC. I did install the "apk add on pack for 5.6" post 3 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897416 , but I dont think Daily Briefing was included in that. Any suggestions? And one last thing - what is the di11iBrowserfix.zip from post 3 of the thread above for? Thanks again to all who contributed.

I got the daily briefing working. Everything is almost perfect, but I would like two things still.
1. Is there anyway to change the tune that is played when you have smart alarm selected? I have a different tone selected, but I think once you select smart alarm it defaults to that new age tone.
2. My alarm goes off, I stop it, but then I have to unlock it before I see the daily briefing. Can anyone think of a way to have the phone unlock when I turn off the alarm. I know it is so insignificant, but it used to do that when it was stock and it was pretty cool.
Come one guys and gals - don't make me figure this one out by myself j/k but seriously I have surprised myself already by getting this far and I really don't have skill or knowledge for the last two things. I'm learning though....slowly.

Thread etiquette
Did I do something wrong here? I got some really quick responses to my questions before, but nothing on my latest. I ask this next question with all seriousness - should I have started a new thread since it's kind of a new topic? No worries either way, I just want to post in the the most effective way. Thanks. BTW, my phone is working great. I'm getting ready to install 6.0 GPS is a little screwy - often has me west of my location by about 30 meters by I attribute that to the phones hardware. Other than that I have no complaints (except for the lame smart alarm tune)

you can flash any kernel/modem using CWM, just make sure it is i9000's.

Nope. Get the CWM flashable zip, and copy to ur sdcard. Then go to CWM recovery console, and install this zip. Reboot.
But, please take a nandroid backup, and try to avoid OC kernels if u r unsure ur phone can handle it. Phones freeze when tried to oc beyond their capability.

[Q] Issues when making or receiving calls

Hi People,
I have some issues with my droid on any custom rom on JB
When ever i make or receive a call the error i get is: The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly
I have tried many different roms and i can only get it to work on stock rom
Its probably worth noting that i am using the Build.Prop editor to enable GSM as i live in the UK.
I had it working before updating safestap from v2.x to v3.11
Currently i am using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102723
Has anyone had any similar issues or know any solutions?
Any information or advice is much appreciated

Do you have the latest version of the ROM?
Could you try to make the GSM changes by hand and not with the Build.prop editor?
Could you upload your build.prop?
Did you do a full wipe or delete the ROM slot before installing a new ROM?
Not sure, but I somewhen edited the build.prop with the app too, and then the internet and phone connectivity went crazy.

how to do it manually?
download the zip of the ROM on your computer
open the zip-file and open directory "system"
open "build.prop" with notepad
search and make sure that the following values are set:
[*]ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=1
[*]ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone = 0
[*]ro.mot.lte_on_cdma=1
[*]telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice = 0

[Q] In-call volume

Hello, I hope someone can help me.
The scenario is the following:
I've got a optimus black (Obviusly) flashed with the lastest cyanogenmod (cm-10.1-20130221). The problem is the in-call volume, it's as low I can't hear anything if I'm in the street so, I searched posts related with this issue, I found and tried:
-Volume+ --> It was the only which worked but, unfortunately the earphone boost is very slight, so it isn't enough.
-Increasing the volume steps --> This does nothing for my purposes, no earphone boost.
-AudioHack 2.1 --> This neither worked.
So, after I've tried this "methods", I saw in other models (I don't now if in mine is possible) a way in which you modify a file to gain more volume. This is the post I'm refering to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136
Is this possible in optimus black?
Thanks in advance.

I've done all that you say in your post, I think I'm doing something wrong because when I reboot my phone it doesn't goes further the lg logo. I'm going to explain you how I'm doing your steps.
Scenario: cm-10.1-20130221 with google apps (Last version)
-I use the default file explorer which comes with cyanogenmod (In root mode)
-Then I go to /system/
-After that, I open the file with the default text editor which comes by default with cyanogenmod and at the bottom of the file I write "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=5", and then I save the file
-Finally I open the properties of the file with file explorer and I set rw-rw-rw
am I right? If not, say me the way you do this or the step(s) I'm doing wrong.
Thanks a lot

In CM you don't have to do that. In CM, the calls are good
