you don't need anything additional to open a zip on a modern OS, and you don't need ANYTHING to simply download it unless you're trying to download it on the phone itself. your browser may have some settings messed up if it's trying to open a zip with a media/video player. try another browser...

i find i don't really use the grip sensor anyway. since i use 3rd party apps for just about everything since the stock ones suck so bad, the ticker is totally useless now. it constantly thinks i have one unread sms, so when i do activate the grip sensor, it always slides over to show me the...

looks good, but a similar result might be achieved using a step drill bit at low speed, with a bit of care. this will also have the added benefit of tapering the edges of the hole on the outside. if i actually had a case on my phone i'd probably do it this way (step drill).

removing bloat: I am seeing several items that aren't listed above, and some of the stuff listed above (specifically, CityID, but plenty of others too) that are not there in /system/app on my phone. for example, instead of the long filename listed above for CityID, all I can find is...

Yes. Either disable your AV or whitelist/allow the file. The reason it thinks its bad is because technically this IS an exploit. Its just one for the phone not ur PC. Most AV programs will provide a link explaining what it found. If you read what's there it will back up what I just said. So you...

ok trying again. rebooted pc. powered phone off, pulled batt, powered it back on. logged into XP, let it finish all startup stuff. plugged usb cable into a port on the back of the pc. plugged in phone with screen unlocked and at home screen (debug and stay-on already enabled). waited till...

awesome, thanks!

Logitech wireless trackball is my only USB device connected right now. No hubs, keyboard is ps2, XP sp3. Nothing fancy. I might try another port but haven't had prob with the front ports before when using external drives or thumb drives, even using this same port and the USB cable that came with...

C:\quickroot>adb shell error: more than one device and emulator have tried rebooting pc. not mounting card.

i understand getting rid of ATK on 2.2+ but since this is still running 2.1, what's the harm in having it? anyway, it's gone now and several reboots later i'm still in the same place. this time i connected usb, waited for the debug to show up in the notification tray, then did adb devices...

trying to do the manual method. i installed the usb drivers, had to plug and unplug phone a couple times for my xp box to properly detect the samsung modem and other devices, but device manager is happy now - no yellow exclamation points with phone plugged in. debug mode is active - when i...

i just meant noled itself - even without customizing things like times or flashing or anything, it force closes at random, or if i get a notification while the screen is locked, i can't unlock the screen no matter what i do and have to pull the battery.

what exactly does this accomplish? sorry if this is a n00b question, but i'm still a n00b in the android world... my continuum is my first 'droid device.

Tried this but noled has fc issues for me and often completely locks the touchscreen to the point I have to pull the batt. No mods to phone, not even rooted yet. Wish it would work since the ticker is pretty much useless otherwise.
