[TIP] Quick Android Restart - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

**I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO THIS SO TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK**
**THIS DOES NOT WORK ON ANY SENSEUI BUILDS**
Ever wanted to restart Android without going all the way back through Windows? Well here's how, you simply open the Dev Tools App, select Bad Behavior and then the "Crash the system server" selection. (See the screenshots below for help. Now Android will restart.
DEVS - If this is a harmful or bad practice please let me know. I've been doing it for the last few days and so far so good.
Also, I have added the apk for those that don't have it pre-installed.

Dude check your apps. Every build (correct me if I'm wrong) comes with the Dev Tools app.

Have to correct, buddy: not present in Darkstone V2

Not in Mattc's builds either.

I just added the apk above. Extract, install and let me know how it goes.

Works great, very quick in rebooting android.
can´t use it to fix my sporadically occuring 60mA standby bug by rebooting though, which I originally had hoped for.

I added this and it doesnt work on HTC HD 2 with Nexus 2.2 ...
If i start the bad behavior tool it says to me "The app Dev Tools ( process com.android.development ) was unexpected completed... Please try again ...

Well it looks like it doesn't work on SenseUI builds. Ask the Dev to see if he can get it to work.

i use smartbar, put the quick exit to the pull down menu, go home then two times of quick exit will crash android to make a quick restart.
smartbar is very good task manager, its free,worth a try

Back to windows
Dear ,
Thank you but I have a tiny Question what if I want to go back to wimo
Do I need to do crash again or what ??!
Thanks

Works great for me...but I still prefer power off, go back to winmo and boot android again...just worry it;ll harm my handphone...

thats because your are already using a rom with it build in. you have this app already, its born into a froyo rom from the nexuz one, and open desire is based on that
Great!! Thank you so much for this.. That's lot better than the stock one, besides camera link is working too (unlike the prev version i was using with 2.1 eclair)
Hi There !
Great application ^^. Thanks.
Just want to understand why it need to "access the full internet" and know where I am using GPS...
Do you know if it's possible to define it as "default gallery" ? i.e. : I would like to launch it automaticaly when I click on the bottom right button in the camera mode.
Thanks !

[Q] Auto Boot Android

Hi
Newbie here... I've searched for this Q & A but ' haven't found anyone with this exact problem...
I've just bought an used but barely used HTC HD2 with WM6.5 from a friend of mine.
I wanted to have both Android and WM, so i did install RAFDROID HD 4.2 on my sd. Everything went smooth on the installation, but now i wanted that Android as my default OS. Every time i turn on my HD2, it loads automatically WM. Tried to install [APP] RunDroid-dual boot to Android [SD] or WM6, and even when i select Android as default, it will load WM first...
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
António

Can you help me, giving me a tip on how i do that? (it is mandatory that i maintain WM intact on the phone memory)
well if you want nand android than your WM will be gone.
but you can always reflash it back to WM later.
if you do not want WM to be gone you should maybe try a different bootloader

Right, you should try a different boot loader
try this: multiboot: http://www.mediafire.com/?nssn9v0ijoy3thv
You can install more than 1 android build on SD card.

A few questions about Custom rom's.

I know this is the wrong section but I got some kind of feeling that there are more people looking in this section.
I have read some guides in the Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537'
But I got some questions about rooting/S-off.
Why is rooting/S-off necessarily, why can't I just put the rom on my SD and go right into recovery mode and boot it up from there?
Also the program visionary plus, I hate that thing so much.... At this step:
Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
How the hell do I open it? I use Astro File manager or something to go to the file but I can't install the program on my mobile/SD card >.<
Also what do I need to do more besides Wiping my phone? In this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
It says to flash a Radio is this a must? Or is the S-off/Root enough.
Thanks already

No, the DHD has a protected system which precludes overwriting the system partition so without S-OFF you can not make any permanent changes.

Don't use it then the instructions here, achieve root without the use of visionary.

No, but using a newer radio may improve battery life and wifi/Gps reception etc.

No worries!
When I had the wrong Radio my battery drain was 15% an hour and this was with a sense Rom. imo S-OFF is a must.
i used this and it worked great.

Actually all of the roms now are running Gingerbread, and sense roms are on sense2.1 (With some sense3.0 elements).
My bad, when I was choosing which rom to load yesterday, everything i read said AR was still 2.2. Must have been old threads.
Thanks guys I now know enough

just for the record, nobody can help you based on this information. you need to quote the error message.
Haven't tried CM7 but if you haven't already flashed a rom I'd give a big thumbsup for Leedroids GB rom, very quick, stable and flashed like a dream

+1 for this. definitely give LeeDroid a go if you can. admittedly, it's the only custom one i've used to date (and for less than 24 hours at that), but i can't rate it high enough compared to the branded rom i got in the first place. amazing!

There is no error message. I just can't find a 'exe' or AKP file which will install the program on my SD/Mobile.
@ Above,
No, I haven't flashed a ROM yet since I heard there are some problems with ClockWorkmod of ROM Manager so I am going to wait for a few days xD

sorry to hear that. it's news to me, though. i downloaded it (CWM), and used it last night in the process of flashing the rom, no issues. but i understand the whole 'there may be issues, so i think i'll wait - don't want to brick my phone' line of thought. good luck when you get there. i'm sure you'll be fine if you follow the various guides posted on here. they worked an absolute treat for me (and i'm the definition of n00b).

So basically I'm screwed? Since I need to downgrade to root, and to backup you need to have root >.< but when you downgrade you lose everything xD
I will try it tonight ._.
If you want to back up the new GB OTA ROM then yes but if you just want to back up your apps then No, you don't need root.
Titanium works with root but doesn't need it. Also, if you ticked to let Google keep a backup then your apps will be re-downloaded when you next perform a wipe.

Using Windoze is great....
One word for you: Linux.
At the risk of high jacking this thread, have you installed HTC Sync? Can you connect to HTC Sync? If not, try another USB port (if using front port use back ports or vice-versa). If none work uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall it after rebooting PC.
If that works when you are in adb (making sure USB Debugging is on) try
Code:
adb devices
Do you get a result?

[APP] [ROOT] PowerSim: Simulate power button - Final

Has the power button of your phone become less responsive..??
I searched a lot for an app that simulates the short press as well as long press of power button and stumbled upon this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564174 The thread and the links provided therein helped me to create a task in tasker that simulates the power button.
So, I made a task that simulate the power button and by using tasker's App factory converted the task into an app.
This app doesn't require tasker to be installed.
This app is for:
1. Who doesn't want to remap the power button.
2. Who doesn't want to install app that eats screen space.
3. Who often uses the expanded desktop feature in Paranoid Android roms. (like me)
This app is for rooted phones only.
Installation procedure:
1. Copy the app to the sd card and install like any other app.
2. On first run it will ask to install secure settings plugin. Accept and install.
3. Run the app. You will be presented with two options Screen off & Power menu. Select your option.
4. The app will take time to load and it will try to gain superuser access. Grant it. Note that this happens only in first two runs of the app. The app will be more responsive later.
Tips:
1. If you don't like the notification toast to pop up in every run of the app use supersu. It has an option to disable the notifications.
Download:
Version 1: http://db.tt/5OvP4Z0L
Final version : http://db.tt/PwNIpFQl
Tested on:
Paranoid Android 2.52 (JB)
Oxygen GB
Credits :
JDevil for his post.
Tasker app
PS: I'm not a developer.. Made this app for my convenience and thought of sharing it.
Screen shots
There is nothing to 'see' in the app, but anyways here are some screen shots. Do test and report.

Oh.. It seems that the app is removed from play store. There is an alternative to this plugin named secure settings. I'll try and use this in the next version. I still have locale execute plugin in my phone. But I'm not sure I'm allowed to mirror it. Better to wait for next version.
