Widget Request for ROM junkies - Hero CDMA General

I do not know if such a widget is possible, but some of us ROM junkies have thumbs that are not suited for multiple uses of home and end keys. A widget to reboot to recovery would be awesome!

Quick boot from the market.. Its not a widget, but its an app that will allow you to reboot and got to recovery in one click.

Widget
Muchos gracias!

If you use quickboot, you can paste shortcuts to reboot, recovery, and bootloader that are little 1-click-to-reboot gifts from the gods!

Its one of the first things I install on any new rooted rom. At least Reboot and Recovery, anyway... I have (as of yet) had no reason to access the bootloader.

It puts a custom recovery on your SD card which you can use to backup restore and flash roms, the app can be found on the market and does this all for you
The app also allows you to download roms, backup and flash right from the app so you don't have to even touch the recovery yourself
Root access is required
Would definitely recommend it works very well for me
it is a paid app...
its a free app, but theres also a premium license so you can download roms from within rom manager

Why does no one research before posting
Firstly it is a free app, you can choose to get premium
And no you can download roms within the free app, you don't need to pay for that, you only need to pay for ota custom roms and scheduled back UPS
Once rooted do you still need to have your GoldCard in the phone to use this?

No you do not, possibly if you choose to unroot your phone it may be required again
Also you can use it to install rom, theme, zip that is stored on your sd card!
Not sure if this is correct, I was reading a few posts about Rom manager, apparently if you were to save your apps/settings using the free version of rom manager the apps would not be updateable in the market. You would have to have the paid version of rom manager if you want to be able to update your apps. Is this correct

No. It's a bug that happens sometimes (same goes for Titanium). Usually, downloading any app from the Market solves it.

I think this is just about the most exhaustive list of boot animations as you'll find.
Which one do you guys prefer? Flashing with Rom manager or flash manually through recovery?
So if I'm right, with the app, I can just do everything from the app which I normally have to do manually by going to fastboot and recovery? It just automates the whole process of:
turning device off
hold vol down and power up
go into recovery
do whatever you would do in recovery

When you tap to flash a rom it asks if you want to wipe. You can also manually reboot into recovery and there is a wipe option in there.

How do I remove "My Account" and the HTC Slide lock screen?

I ran a search, and couldn't find the answers to these questions. I just rooted my MT4G using the Visionary+ method as described on theunlockr.com, and went about removing a bunch of crapware like asphalt, rockband, etc. using Root Explorer
The two things I still want to 86 are "My Account" and the HTC Slide to Unlock screen. I can't find the .APK for My Account, and I am not entirely sure if it's safe to remove the slide to unlock (I did find the .APK for that, tho).
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Lakeshow! the My Account thing was killing me...
I did take the plunge and moved HTC lockscreen to the /sdcard, but now I have what I am guessing is the default froyo slide to unlock screen? It has two sliders now instead of one, with the one on the left being to unlock and the one on the right switches the ringer off. I think it might be kind of broken, tho... my homescreen is 100% visible, I just have the "new" unlock screen right on top of it
Kaufmanj67 or anyone else... if you could maybe walk me through how to remove this new unlock screen as well, so I go right to pattern unlock, I would be doubly grateful
I use a free app in the market called "no lock", no root necessary. When you reboot the phone the lock screen will reappear for a few seconds before the app auto starts and then it's gone until another reboot.

you have to move/rename/freeze the HTC Sense Lock screen if you are wanting to use the AOSP lock screen. There is a thread on it here someone on XDA, i'll have to dig and find it.

Oh well, Now I need to figure out how to undo this [email protected]*k. I put the HTCSlideLock .APK and .odex files back in /system/app and I am getting the AOSP slidelock still. I went into ROM manager and tried to "fix permissions" and that didn't work. Anyone have any other ideas?

Cool it's really simple then.
Download that .zip file from the other forum, and store it onto the Root of the SD card.
Go into your market place and download ClockworkROM Manager. after it is installed open the interface and at the VERY top it will say "Flash ClockWork Recovery". Flash the Recovery image and it says success, do it again for good measures. . After it tells you success again. scroll down a little bit and select "boot into recovery".
once you do that select "install .zip from sdcard" then "choose .zip from sdcard". then select that file [the one you downloaded]. and it will flash it. After it says it's completed. Select Reboot System Now and it will go back to OE fashions.

Sounds easy enough, I think that just leaves me 2 questions...
1) will that mess up my ability to do a "factory reset" if I want to go back to 100% stock?
2) do I need the paid version of Rom Manager, or will the free one work?

The Free variant will work just fine. that's all i've ever used.
the recovery image will stick after you do a "factory reset". you will need to flash the stock image. Which is a little bit more entailed but not impossible. TheUnlockr has a GREAT walk through on how to go back to 100% stock. The Unlockr's Method for 100% stock set up.
IF you are wanting to keep s=off, and flash the stock recovery image you can do that via TheUnlockr's method. Just download the recovery image and flash just that as per their instructions.
or you can there is a way posted here on the XDA forums for a 100% stock setup... XDA's Method for 100% stock set up

Bought Evo on eBay... has s-off but recovery goes to red triangle

Ok bought an evo on eBay, after getting rid of my evo for a blackberry and realizing I made a huge mistake. It's used but like new.
I go to the boot screen and it says s-off. Then I select recovery but it goes to an evo with a red triangle.
What can I do?

If you can acess the bootloader, I would recommend searching in the rooting wiki and look for a PCIMG file place that in the root of the sd card(hopefully your comp has a media reader) and insert the sd card with that file and the bootloader should detect when you select recovery.
What that file does is resets everything on the phone to stock. if you could find a RUU that might work but if your comp cant see the phone its useless i hope this helps

If you're s off, your rooted. The triangle means you have no recovery. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of recovery, using the bootloader. Once you do that, you'll have recovery, and can flash a rom of your choice. That's it. No need to re root or ruu or anything like that. Just recovery, that's it.

This would probably be the easiest thing. DL clockwork from the market and install the recovery I prefer amon_ra it will be at the bottom under alternate recoveries. Also do a nand backup as soon as you have a recovery.
I agree with above, just get rom manager from the market and flash a recovery...simple
We're comin from a pure power source.

SUre, give me one sec to upload a file for you. And as the other guys suggested, flashing a recovery using ROM manager would be your easiest bet. HOWEVER, if you dont have the SUPER USER app, (which i bet you do not), rom manager wont work. t herefore you cant flash anything with it.
So give me one sec, and i'll upload what you need to flash, with instructions for ya
EDIT: I attatched a recovery for you. It's Amon Ra V2.3. Download the PC36IMG, and leave it named exactly as it is. Place the file on the main directory (root) of your sd card. Power your phone off completely. Then boot to the bootloader by holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. When it gets to the bootloader, after a sec it will scan for files, and find the PC36IMG. It will then ask you if you want to update, so select yes (volume UP). Once it's done flashing, it'll ask you to reboot. Select no. Then choose the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should now successfully boot into Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From that point, you can create a backup of your current setup. Then you can perform a full wipe, and then flash the rom of your choice.
And what ever you do DON'T restore a nandroid from your old phone. You will wipe out your 4g if the wimax partition is included in the nandroid.

Ok that worked. I now have Amon ra recovery
But, lol, one more question. Amon ra has changed since I've had an evo.. now when I select backup, it has a list of things I want to back up with "[x]" next to them. Which items should I select? It didn't have that feature in the past so I'm a little lost.

Right, that feature was added after version 1.8.0 (which I still use). I believe you want to check all of the boxes, for your first backup. (I'm not sure if you need to have everything checked after that, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt). I've seen people say that you only need to back up your wimax one time, then keep the file in a safe place (it's your RSA keys), however I just can't see what the problem is with backing it up each time. I kind of like the simplicity of 1.8.0, just hit backup and let it do it's thing. Whatever the heck 1.8.0 automatically backs up on its own, works perfectly fine for me, lol.
So I would just check everything off, and then let it perform the backup.
EDIT: and sorry I don't have more info on that for ya. I'm sure someone else who regulrarly uses ar 2.3 will chime in, and give you a more solid answer. I just simply don't use that recovery, as I never saw a need to 'upgrade' from 1.8.0, because it has always worked flawlessly for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'd say you could use 1.8.0 if you wanted to, but I believe it won't work on the 004 hardware phones with the 0040000 size erase block.
Ok cool.
Thanks again
And yes i remember the simple way, things are supposed to get easier as time goes on, not more complicated, haha!

There's an app called RomToolbox. It's designed for phones, but, it has the boot options in the app. So far, I've ran several of the options on my 501 and haven't had but 1 fc on the animation viewer.
But the boot menu seems to work.
So it seems to function, HOWEVER, some of the options I wouldn't advise using on your tab, because it's a phone app.

yeah, I believe what it does is some sort of cache dump and restarts the android system only. as far as I understand. but yeah, it should save a touch of time off a full boot. I think the most used option, or at least that,s important to me, is the boot to recovery option. a real lifesaver!!!!

SGH-I337 Bricked 2 so far with wicked rom

okay the first phone was my fault. after doing the root process with moto chopper and loki found on android root site I forgot to read the steps required for the wicked ROM. I jump straight to the ROM install but after finishing the install it ask to reboot. Then it vibrates like it is trying to boot up but I never get any video. I tried the reboot recovery button commands but that no longer worked and neither did the hard reset button commands.
luckily walmart exchange that phone for another so then I go home I root the phone and follow the install option for wicked ROM. then the second phone reboots and I get the same vibrating pulses but hard reset works now except it hangs up on the downloading screen. this morning I return the second phone for the third phone but now I'm too scared to try the ROM again because they are not going to let me get another phone.

Sounds like you're doing something wrong. I've installed it multiple times without any issues at all.

I did kernel stock, Launcher Options Stock, Camera & Gallery Options Stock, Music App Options Stock, Minfree Memory options (1st), Keyboard Options Swype, Nexus Soft Key Mod (no), Shut down sounds (no), Select The Apps You Want Installed (Kies, S Voice, Voice Recorder), then i confirmed reboot and it's DEAD! lol

I'm just glad the idiots at walmart replaced it twice when the first one was 2 weeks over the 14 day return policy. I said i lost the receipt and I got it 9 days ago.

It's people like you who give a bad name to modding phones. No wonder all the carriers are locking the boot loader. They can't afford jerks like you screwing them all the time. Stay stock you don't have the intelligence to flash a custom rom!

So you not only committed fraud by pretending you hadn't broken the phone and voided the warranty yourself, but you also straight-up lied about how long you had had the phone?
On top of that, I'd be willing to bet the phones weren't hard-bricked and were actually recoverable.
That's pretty despicable.

Could you boot into Recovery? Could you boot into Download Mode? Did you try using Odin to flash back to stock?

I doubt the people at Walmart care to investigate what the issue is. Where they send it to, we'll that's a different story. Then it'll suck to be you.

This here sounds liked you probably flashed wicked for the S3 with aroma installer. The wicked Rom for the S4 have no options like you are describing.

Good Call,
I was wondering how he got an aroma installer version of Wicked.
This should be stickied with a big banner telling users they need to READ BEFORE FLASHING! or Else this could be you.
