[Q] Rerun Setup Wizard on Andromadus? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am running an Andromadus port (Icecream JIBwich 1.2) and trying to rerun the Setup wizard to change some setting but couldn't figure out a way to do so?
If anyone has some idea please help
Any comment would also be appreciated

Which settings do you want to change? Usually you can change them in the settings menu.

You can't change every setting from the wizzard in the settings menu. If you prefer the wizard and want to run it again from scratch you could always do a factory reset which will wipe all user data.

I wanted to enable the boot animation (disabled during Setup Wizard) and change the battery indicator and signal bar. These are not in the settings.

For now I just want to enable the boot animation, to try different ones. Is there any easy way to do it beside factory reset?
Many thanks.

Not sure if this will work, but try flashing gapps again, and it might pop it up again. Or better yet, try removing the old one and flash a new one.

Both those settings can be changed. Go to settings>performance for the boot animation. And the battery indicators can be changed at settings>system>status bar. No need to rerun the initial set up.

For some reason I can't edit my original post, I meant to say you CAN change any setting. Sorry about any confusion.

Yes, they are indeed there. Thank you.

You can try this; INSTRUCTIONS:
- The first step, return to the Home first.
- 2nd Step: Click on Menu
- 3rd Step: Go to Settings-> Application-> Manage Application.
- 4th Step: Locate and click Google Apps
- 5th Step: Click the ”Clear Data”
- 6th Step: When the show prompted ”All information you’ve saved in this application will be deleted Permanently ”, click OK
- 7th Step: Then press the “Back” then to click the”Synchronize Data” or through the Home> Menu> Settings> Data synchronization.
- It will appear the Wizard to insert a Google account new. This wizard appears when we just bought a new android handset or when we’ve just done a wipe through hardreset.
If your Android already in the root, you can do this more easy way:
1. Once root, use root explorer.
2. Insert the data / system
3. Delete the file ”accounts.db”
4. Once removed, Restart / Reboot your smartphone.

Serious problems with WIFI - "Not in range"

HI All
Sorry to double post but I really don't know what to do.
I tried to install 2 ROMS, Mondaco's and DeFrost, however I am getting the same problem on both, "Not in range".
Its finding other connections and they are normal, I can click on them and then insert password, but I cannot do the same for mine.
Do you have an idea what can be happening? It was working fine with the normal Eclair ROM. Do I need to do something to fix the problem?
Thanks for your help

Go to the wifi settings, menu, advanced, regulatory domains and select number of channels to use (14 ?).
Your router is probably using channel 12, 13 or 14.
Go to wireless settings, press menu and go to the advanced settings. Then change the domain from 11 to 13(EUROPE and others) or 14 (primarily Japan).

Maybe this helps:
go to wireless lan setting, press menu for advanced settings, select the first option ("rechtliche domain" on my german rom ) and then "14 channels".
Hope that helps

Another thing, when i do the HTC Sync, I cannot get the device recognised by my PC.
What can I do?

Try reinstalling HTC Sync, reboot PC and then connect the phone.

Hi MasDroid
Thanks. I tried that but the phone still cannot be recognised by the HTC Sync. Just to check if I am doing everything ok, I have a cooked Rom, so when I connect the phone with USB, it asks me if I want to use the SD Card, and I say yes. Do I need to do something else if I want to just sync the phone?
Thanks

Whenever you connect your phone via USB, you should be prompted to choose from four options:
Charge only
Disk Drive
HTC Sync
Internet Sharing
Choose the HTC Sync option.
If this screen does not appear for you, then go to Settings > Connect to PC. Select Ask Me and you can change the default connection type.

Not sure where that option is then as i am not currently running a Froyo ROM
Can i ask, do you have the USB Debugging option enabled? Before you connect your phone via USB again, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Development and try enabling the USB Debugging option, see if it detects your phone then.
Well I do not think its on Froyo, or I cannot find it
It was working when I had stock. Tried that already, does not work

I think this may not be showing because you are not running a Sense UI based rom? HTC Sync may not be available to you for that reason maybe.

I have absolutely no experience with that however, I did a search on Google and this thread popped up. All I searched for was "how to edit build.prop":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1236732
Anyone feel free to verify/correct me as I have never edited my build.prop before and I don't intend to. This is for anyone who may be looking for an answer. I won't say it is the answer as I've never done this before but hopefully this helps someone get on the proper train of thought.
if you're rooted try removing or renaming the phone.apk in /system/app. Make a copy of the ROM .zip to flag the original first in case something doesn't work ans definitely a backup in cwm. This should disable the activation nag and data phone capabilities. Not a good idea if you want to use it as a phone.

If you can't use your phone for text,data,and talking, you can disable it as it essentially disables the ROM's use of the cell's radio (wifi should still work).
Couple ways to do it:
1. remove the phone.apk from the zip and transfer new zip to sdcard and wipe system in recovery and re-flash rom.
2. Using root explorer or some kind of app that can write to /system, delete or rename the Phone.apk found in /system/app and reboot. If you get force close messages, just battery pull and boot the phone up again.
And, no there's no editing of the file itself just making the android system not able to find it. Not officially supported by devs to disable the radio but if you're having struggles to skip activation it is definitely worth a shot.

You're talking about the screen that comes up when you first turn the phone on after you first buy the phone?
There's a way to do it without changing the build.prop, I'll look for it. I actually did it when j first got my phone.
Some people have said if you tap the top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left corners in that order it bypasses it.
It works for some, the way I did it involved dialing some **number and changing somethings to 0000000

Here I found a link to where it says how to tap the corners
http://www.androidcentral.com/bypass-activation-screen-your-android-device
And I found the way I was talking about when you call **778 and change the settings
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
8. The phone will auto reboot in 10 seconds.
#2 works permanently as I remember and it's pretty easy to do.

HTC Wildfire (CM7) Critical Situation. Please HELP !

Hi Guys
I flashed my Wildfire with Cyanogen Mod 7 a few days back. I am absolutely new to flashing, and this is the first time I ever tried something like this. Flashing was a breeze with no problems.
However, when I was going through the different settings Under Cyanogem mod settings option and by mistake seem to have permanently locked my phone.
I cannot access my phone lock screen to unlock it !
I was trying to activate lock screen gestures and thought I dont need the lock screen slider anymore.
Here are the exact steps I followed:
Cyanogenmod settings -> Lock screen settings -> Lock screen styles -> Disable lock screen slider
I did not even activate alternate mode to unlock !
Please HELP !!
Usually "Disable lockscreen slider" is unselectable unless you have "Menu unlock" and/or "Trackball unlock" ticked.
I think i will have to wipe data/factory reset under the recovery. That's the only option I see, but will loose all my applications.
But then i guess that's the price you pay for such a silly mistake.
But thanks for the prompt response !

There's an app in the market called app extractor, first take a nandroid backup then wipe data, reboot and install app extractor and use it to extract all your apps and data from the backup.
Don't extract the settings data though as you'll have to start again.

[Q] CM9 Speed

Hey all,
First off - this is in no way a knock against all the self-sacrificing developers we have - they truly rock!
My question requires a little bit of background. I've been flashing since the days (lol) of Midnight Rom. Switched to Syndicate Frozen. I then started in the CM world with CM7 and liked it a lot. I felt it was quite snappy - although it had some quirks. Then when CM9 came out - I dived in. The quirky list of things about CM9 has really grown smaller and smaller. But one issue I feel remains. The speed. When I switched to CM9, I thought, well it's new, and it "wasn't even supposed to be able to fit on our phones to begin with..." but now I just don't know.... there has been a lot of streamlining and bug tweaks - I would have thought it should have smoothed out a bit.
My problem is, I just don't know when it's going to lag. I feel like sometimes it's fine, and other times it's just sitting there waiting and waiting to complete the action I've tapped. Other times it freezes and I have to long press the back key to kill the app.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if it's just me? Are we living in denial (lack of snappiness to have the latest OS ver), or is my phone saying I don't like what you've put in me!
FYI - I started with CM9 Alpha (something - can't remember) and I'm currently running Beta 3 (I usually like to wait a few days to see if there's any issues with the latest build b4 flashing). When I flash the latest builds, I only wipe cache part and dalvik cache. I also am sure each time to flash the recommended GAPPS. I have on occasion "fixed permissions" but that didn't do much.
I've been faithful about not flashing another kernel - although if that would help, any recommendations would be appreciated. Also, I was interested in trying the V6 Supercharger, but never did - and now it seems that no one is using that....
So is it just me, or is this everyone?
Start clean... wipe data... go into mounts and storage format /system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash the newest build and enjoy the slick ness... trust me fresh starts will save your life. Besides when installing new builds you can go into back up and restore. Backup your Google account and it will reinstall all your apps automatically.
The V6 supercharger will help as well.

Hit menu. Go to system settings go to back up and reset. Hit backup account. Choose your Google account. It doesn't notify you of when its done but 5-10 minutes should be ample. It doesn't save data... sorry. But if you need it you can use titanium backup and restore data for apps you absolutely need.
That is not the V6 you want. This is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
You run this is script manager. If you need a how to I'd be happy to write one. Or a visual if you honestly need one.

You will want to run these after you install the new build.
Okay the files you want to download are the V6 Supercharger Update 9 RC8.2, and the Kick Ass Kernelizer RC8. Once these are downloaded (ignore the fact they are PDF's) Go ahead and download and install Script Manger from the market and open it up and find where you downloaded those files. Run the Kick Ass Kernelizer first. Tap it the dialog comes up and tap the Superuser icon to "run as root" then hit run. It will run through its terminal deal, when it asks for the I/O tweaks go ahead and say yes... i know it says bootloop potential but it hasnt happened to me so id say your good. Then it will give your options (K)ick ass , Chew G(u)m, and E(x)it. Type in K for it to install and to unistall you would type U, then hit enter... it will run through and when it says goodbye at the end at the top left you can hit close. Then go ahead and run the V6 Supercharger the same way. This one will give your scroll options type 1 hit enter. It will as for fix emissions type y hit enter, then it will ask to system integrate init.rc type y and hit enter. Then when it gets done it will ask if you want to use these custom values.. hit no... then i normally use the 7 option... but i suggests what options which is 5-7 for the epic since it has roughly 512mb of RAM. Then it will go through a terminal print again when it comes to the Superclean and Restart go ahead and choose yes. It will reboot and your all good to go. ... definetly making a copy of this... that was a long type .
NICE - I held of from doing the wiping of system and flashing from scratch - and the V6 made a HUGE difference!!!! Now every time I flash the latest Beta I'll need to run both of these scripts again, right?

Same thing happened to me. Follow along and see what helped me (YMMV):
I. If you are running a 3rd party launcher:
1. Reset to stock LG launcher:
System Settings --> Home screen --> Select Home --> select "Home"
2. Clear Lock Screen Cache:
System Settings --> Apps --> All --> Lock Screen Settings --> Force stop --> Clear cache
3. Choose Lock Screen photo:
System Settings --> Lock Screen --> Wallpaper --> make your choice and crop as necessary
4. Profit
5. Go back to your 3rd party launcher:
System Settings --> Home screen --> Select Home --> select your launcher
II. If you are already running stock LG launcher, follow steps 2-4.

I looked into doing that, but apparently the stock wallpapers are stored in the LGLauncher.apk or something, so I would have to extract the wallpapers from that, and obviously I can't easily add wallpapers to that...

The wallpapers that come stock on the phone are stored in two places. LGHome3.apk for the launcher and LockScreenSettings.apk for the lockscreen. Why they are in both places who knows, but it is kind of a pain to change them. Something that worked for me when getting this problem was doing a factory reset in TWRP, although that was stock based ROMS and not on the original stock. Worth a try if you haven't already.

I could only suggest clearing cache first, then force stopping. Maybe also try a reboot before trying to change the wallpaper.
Also, I am not running a custom ROM. I'm rooted an unlocked still running stock just FYI. Don't know if that might make a difference. I saw PartimusPrime is running Lifeless.

The problem is probably a permissions issue with the .jpg files that the lockscreen settings replace with the image you choose.
I can't remember the location, but digging around in /data for "lg settings" or "lockscreen" folder for the .jpg files and changing the permissions to writable will fix it.

Okay so I found the wallpaper located at the following path:
/data/user/0/com.lge.lockscreensettings/wallpaper.png
This .PNG was the lock screen wallpaper that wouldn't even change, the custom one. I changed the permissions to allow everything and I was able to change it! So go to that path, go to the properties of the wallpaper.png and change the permissions and it'll work.

Right on the money, thanks! It's been so long since I figured this out and I didn't have the stock ROM loaded. I just couldn't remember.
