I know this might be a really dumb question but ill ask anyways..
Is there anyway i can run an htc vivid in virtual box?or some other kind of thing like that?
i tend to brick my phone a lot trying all these dumb things so i want
to find a way to test them somehow before i do it on my phone so i dont have to keep recovering it.
any help or ideas?

choose the asus ones because they usually are more compatible with other computers. you might have a problem with wifi though and will have to find a way to install the wifi drivers for your wifi antennae onto android.

Apparently you can do this from the SDK emulator if you have the ROM in system.img format (which I believe dsixda's kitchen can do, don't remember off the top of my head). Probably won't work with an extracted system image though, but I've never tried so can't confirm.. anyway
Windows PC
1. Download the Android SDK (which includes the emulator) from here.
2. Extract the downloaded zip.
3. Run a command prompt, and change to the 'tools' directory of the SDK (or add the tools directory to your path).
4. Type 'android list target'
5. Note the 'id' number of the '1.5' target (in my case it's '2')
6. Type 'android create avd -n enhanced -t 2' (substitute 2 with the target number determined above if required)
7. You will be prompted to create a hardware profile. This is optional, but I selected 'yes' and accepted the defaults for everything except RAM, where I gave it 256MB.
8. Download your system.img
9. Copy the above file to the location of the enhanced.avd directory ('C:\Documents and Settings\\.android\enhanced.avd' on Windows XP, and 'C:\Users\\.android\enhanced.avd' on Windows Vista).
10. You're ready! Type 'emulator -avd enhanced' to run! Note: inital boot may take a few minutes!
If you get Java errors, you need to download the JDK for your system
Mac OSX
1. Download the Android SDK (which includes the emulator)
2. Extract the downloaded zip.
3. Run Terminal, and change to the 'tools' directory of the SDK (or add the tools directory to the path settings in ~/.profile).
4. Type './android list target'
5. Note the 'id' number of the '1.5' target (in my case it's '2')
6. Type './android create avd -n enhanced -t 2' (substitute 2 with the target number determined above if required)
7. You will be prompted to create a hardware profile. This is optional, but I selected 'yes' and accepted the defaults for everything except RAM, where I gave it 256MB.
8. Download your system.img
9. Copy the above file to ~/.android/avd/enhanced.avd/system.img (e.g. if you saved it to and unzipped it to downloads enter 'cp ~/Downloads/system.img ~/.android/avd/enhanced.avd/system.img')
10. You're ready! Type './emulator -avd enhanced' to run! Note: inital boot may take a few minutes!

If you're having problems with mms try clearing out the telephony database

adb remount
adb shell
rm /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases/telephony.db
adb reboot

Acutally seeing as the majority of rooted people probably just use the 'one click' apps it'd be easier to do this via Terminal Emulator.
Download Termial Emulator if you don't already have it on your phone
Open up terminal emulator
Then type out the following code box (at the end of each line you press 'Enter')
Code:
su
rm /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases/telephony.db
reboot

The location should exist...unless it was typed incorrectly or you have an incomplete flash /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ should definitely be there.
If you have root explorer or estrongs files explorer with root access you can navigate to that location and delete using those apps too. Rebooting will rebuild the telephony.db file after its deleted.
If you still are having problems trying to find the database file send me a PM and I'll help you out when I can on gtalk.
Edit: Do this, open up terminal emulator and enter these lines in
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases
ls
You should get a return line saying
Code:
mmssms.db telephony.db
And then reboot phone?

If you're referring to my previous post where you navigate to the directory and enter "ls" to list the files in that directory, then no. Thats just to see if the files are indeed there.
If they are, then you should do that "rm" command I posted before where you delete the telephony.db
If they both weren't there, even after a reboot, then as I said before - either the command wasn't typed in correctly, or the flash was incomplete.
Post what the 'ls' command returned to you after entering it in (ie. mmssms.db and/or telephony.db)
Its telling me not found after I enter "telephony databases"

This Tool Is specifically for those who are running Stock HTC Vivid Unlocked and Rooted and wish to Neuter CIQ
[email protected]
1/19/2012
===================================================
8125Omnimax HTC Vivid CIQ Neuter Tool Version 1.1
===================================================
Ok, so I made it easy for everyone now, its just down to click and neuter
My batch file takes care of everything now, no need for deletion of IQRD.apk and HtcIQAgent.apk using market apps, everything is now automated and executed in this bat file to remove CIQ.
Linux Kernel Drivers are low level and still remain, Only sure way to get rid of those two low level drivers is to flash a modified kernel or install any of the great optimized roms available on the HTC Vivid forum.
The batch file contained with in along with its components are designed to make the removal of the Carrier IQ Process easy enough for the XDA beginner. Before you begin please make sure of the following:
Requirements:
-HTC Sync Should Be Disabled (This will eliminate those server out of date messages)
-Your HTC Vivid must be Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted!
-Your phone must be set in Developers Mode!
Execute the run.bat file and follow directions
Failure to adhere to any of these requirements will result in the batch file not being able to neuter the CIQ Process!
If you have any questions feel free to PM me @ XDA
-8125Omnimax
*Ver 1.0 Changelog (Yes there was actually a 0.5 Closed Non-Web Beta)*
-Added adb kill-server commands in the batch file to stop pre-running adb processes so the app could run without a hitch
-Added commands to delete odex files which are generated when the HtcIQAgent.apk & IQRD.apk were not deleted correctly from my post on how to manually delete CIQ
-No need to use Titanium Backup or Root capable file explorers to delete HtcIQAgent.apk & IQRD.apk, proper commands are addressed to delete said files streamlined within this batch file
-Neatened up the bat file commands
*Ver 1.1 Changelog
-Kernel and Logcat messages are cleared prior to reboot at end of the tools process
Upcoming features:
-The ability to flash a non CIQ infected kernel
-Windows 7 and Mac OSX Lion GUI stand alone apps
-An all in one root/ciq neuter/bloat remover package
sweet...makes going back to the stock rom a lil easier for me that is until cm9 comes around
If I already used your other method to neuter CIQ , do you advise to run this again ? My score currently is 150 on voodoo app.
Thanks

This bat script basically does the same process, hence you don't need to manually delete the two ciq apk's using market file explorer root apps anymore. Running this after following my manual post does no harm, but can make sure the process is eradicated

Only recommended using this app with the stock gingerbread release and hooked up to a pc or mac with adb running. I stopped working on this app due to the removal of ciq on ICS for the vivid, about all roms on the site are ICS, and once you go ICS, you won't want to go back imo.

Most to all custom roms already have this
Ok, so I spent the last 5 hours reading through this forum and trying all sorts of things, now it is time to ask somebody who knows what they are doing.
I am trying to get my T-Mob 2.2.2 to Honeycomb. Why? Because I had to change a broken screen and was stupid enough to rip the cable for the menue keys and since we don't need them on honeycomb, that seems to be the way.
So I went through Manii's instructions and downloaded all the drivers etc. so far so good. Even used the tricks hidden in the orum to force windows to install the drivers. I am on xp. My device manager shows Dell Android ADB device. The streak shows 'starting fastboot USB download protocol' and does not move from there.
I ran adb to see if it works. adb reboot rebooted the Streak, so it seems fine. Now the problem is fastboot.
in cmd I type: 'fastboot flash recovery-froyo-US.img'. the recovery file is in the same path as fastboot.
This is what I get:
Unknown partition 'recovery-froyo-US.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-froyo-US.img'
I am hoping somebody can help me out here.
Thanks
Why is there a dash between recovery and froyo.you should remove that dash also why do you name the recovery to a hard name it will make the process more complicated so go to were you put the recovery and rename it to "recovery" onlyyy and without the quotes then put into bootloader and then go into fastboot and type cd C:\the name of the folder were you put the fastboot and the recovery and press enter then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img that's it
Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again.

While your at it might as well flash cwm too. Changing the file name to recovery makes it a whole lot easier. Also why are you flashing a Froyo recovery if you are going to be on HC? Or is that the way tmo does it?

Froyo is required to than use the update.pkg for T-Mobile. Since T-Mob did not support the honeycomb update, this is the only way.
So, I found my mistake. It had nothing to do with the path and the name, the file can be named whatever it wants to be named.
I simply forgot one term.
Fastboot flash RECOVERY filename.
Pretty stupid looser newbee mistake. Finally running now. Somebody mentioned they had some problems with a flickering screeen on the lower right (in landscape mode) after update, guess I have the same. Just insstalled a new screen, so that would not be the problem, any ideas?
Thanks for all your help

I have to agree with Giveen here, even though you might make a claim to it you wont get much fame out of it (if any) as you are new to the scene, even I dont get much recognition with the MIUI port (A. because it doesnt work yet B. because nobody really gives a sh!t about a new dev C. I dont go around making claims I cant back up, failed ROMs or not I still make steady progress on this D. nor do I wish to be an attention whore) so unless you can provide a link that has a working JB ROM for the DS7 (that isn't Giveen's) then we might believe you, oh and we will know if you have used Giveen's ROM as there are certain lines of code that only Giveen uses
You could also make a post with it on the general section with it and ask a dev to move the page. So yes I am also calling shinnanigans.
Nothing says you cant simply make a thread here and ask for it to be moved (or you can even leave it here and it will be moved anyway as it belongs there)
so thread closed on account of mass BS by n00b RE the supposed development of JB for S7 by the chinese? I think yes

-it takes a while...if it gets stuck do not unplug just wait it out
-if your freaking out cause its taking so long just ask in the q&a section for advice
