[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubs13:
Guys im currently using 2.2.1 Froyo XWJS8 its quite quick but freezes too much.

I just wanted to know of experience which is the fastest rom to use which uses little battery power. I was looking at Darkys rom but theres too many out there to choose from. I just want something really stable and quick all round especially the browser.

Any comments would be great.

cheers

Try Juwe11 rom, positive reviews so far. Just make sure you have the 3 button download / recovery mode before flashing.

darky's resurrection is a no brainer as a start(then u can update with cwm to his latest) i used his rom (now cm7)

it is stable and great support
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubs13:
is that the 9.5 or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
do a search for thread starter Juwe11 over at the andriod development. I'm using mobile app now, sorry.

I never use Darkyy or Doc rom. Either i cook myself, or others.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbohm:
what do you mean? darky's resurrection is a odin rom it is based on 9.2 it is easy to use (it will wipe your device btw.) because you almost can't do it wrong and then you can make an easy 9.5 upgrade
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubs13:
Might give it a whirl and see how they both go, i use my phone a lot and notice the problems about 2 hours after use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubs13:
Brilliant odin is the way to go, have you got a link for the 9.2 version mate? will update when i get home.

cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbohm:
just search all of darky's thread you will find resurrection edition

if you have freezes you should try it with a lagfix then (voodoo ext4 in darky)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubs13:
ok will give it a go, ill try Darkys as i dont really want any buggy roms i cant be dealing with that,although upgrading doesnt take long its a pain when you got 2 kids running around lol. XWJS8 is crap :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy36:
there is no definition of a best rom. there are many roms which are available for the sgs based on the different bases. the latest being js8. for me docs rom and darkys rom are the 2 best roms available out there,but there is not much of a differnce in between them..itz like 19-20. bt i have been using darkys rom for a while and i must say the latest v 9.5 is pretty stable and the best going on at this point of time. i recomend u to use dat rom.itz the fastets out there!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubs13:
Thanks mate, i like the gingerbread theme he has added also and the unlock screen looks good. wander if theres a circle battery mod for it.

Hello, all, I use the latest version of overstock kernel, and it did have voodoo color.

But how to control voodoo color? I have installed voodoo control app, but no any related to color can be found there.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imitebewrong:
I noticed in AlanRocks' video review of CM7, he has voodoo color control options in the voodoo control app. Is this only for android 2.3? I do not have it in any 2.2 roms when I open the Voodoo control app.

And yes, I have a Voodoo color enabled kernel. :p

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithtec:
So I got the Thunderbolt on release day and the first thing I tried when leaving the store was syncing to my 2011 VW Tiguan. It did sync fine with the phone (handsfree) and phonebook. I was using it without issue until I decided the other day to try streaming media to the radio. Both devices showed that the mediastreaming was paired as well as the headset.

Long story short... it didnt work. No audio was streamed thru the connection. OK so fine. Except now when I connect the phone to the car it first connects the headset and the media streaming profiles and then disconnects the headset. It will not reconnect at all now. (Actually it says that it is paired but disconnected)

I deleted everything and tried to re-pair it to no effect. I changed the phones name as well. I have tried a battery pull from the phone but it will no longer connect the headset profile to the car or download the phonebook.

**UPDATE**

I was able to pair it and use my jawbone headset. Would still like to get the speaker phone working.

Any thoughts? Im in the car for many hours per day and this is going to make me crazy.
[Thunderbolt General] two_cents:
I heard about it on my incredible but never experienced it... I just tried to restore a back up and both my back ups say md5 mismatch...

cwm 3.0.2.4

I am just trying to not have to redo all my stuff but I guess I"ll start now... just looking to see if I can prevent it in the future
[Thunderbolt General] pmdied:
Thank god, no. It caused havoc on my Inc but not now.
[Thunderbolt General] spdrcr999:
Has anyone else experienced this? I have tried making backups before flashing, but have this problem. It creates the backup and if I try to go back to it, the MD5 mismatch error comes up. This is frustrating. Any help?
[Thunderbolt General] patdroid1:
happened to me one time...i copied the file onto my laptop and then back to my sd card and it worked! not sure if just a coincidence but worth a try
[Thunderbolt General] spdrcr999:
Thanks, I'll try that, but if I have to do that every time, it's gonna get old. There has to be something going on that I can fix, I hope. Anyone else?
[Thunderbolt General] patdroid1:
certainly not a fix if happening often...like i said only happened once to me...let me know if it works.
[Thunderbolt General] spdrcr999:
No luck. Copying to PC, deleting, and replacing didn't change the outcome. Thanks for the idea though. Anyone else run into this?
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
did you guys rename the files? The names CANNOT have spaces
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
Of all the backups I ever made this did happen one time. I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. Sometimes the file is just corrupt and there is nothing you can do about it.
[Thunderbolt General] BurnOne77:
the only time i ever got md5 mismatch was when I renamed the file. returning it to original name and it flashed.
[Thunderbolt General] bmerrill63:
This issue has become a pain in my butt!! everytime i rename a backup, even without spaces, i got an MD5 mismatch upon trying to restore. Is there a solution? Ive already wiped the phone, reflashed the stock RUU and still no luck. I even formatted my sd card and left it completely blank.

Any help is appreciated!
[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
What are you renaming it to? I always rename my backups, and have never had issues. I usually name them something along the lines of: "20110519_BAMF_Remix_1-6-3."

I've heard of people having issues with ROM Manager. Are you creating and restoring your backups from there, or are you booting into clockwork to do them?
[Thunderbolt General] bmerrill63:
I rename to something similar to what you do.

Typically I never create or restore from RM cause I've heard of others having issues. I really only use RM to rename the backups. I prefer to do it manually through CWM.

However since I haven't successfully been able to rename a backup, I have been using RM to do backups.

Sent by the Tbolt
[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
Stupid question, I'm sure, but you aren't changing the names of any files INSIDE the backup folder, are you? Only the folder name needs to be changed.

I don't mean that to be insulting your intelligence, at all. Just verifying. :-)
[Thunderbolt General] bmerrill63:
No offense taken, no I am only renaming the folder name itself. I don't get it.

[Thunderbolt General] Turb0wned:
I have never been able to restore any backups. Even when I dont rename them. The only one that always works is the original backup of the original rom. Really annoying. Any fix yet?
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
I don't think there is any "fix" because I've never heard of anyone else with that problem. Maybe you are renaming the backups with spaces in the file names or you just got a bad SD card.
[Thunderbolt General] Cmotion:
I've had a similar problem with renaming the files. I'll usually add something like: (BAMF_1.7_imo2.5.1) right on to the end of the file name -without spaces- and I also get an md5 mismatch. If I go back and delete the section I added it works fine. I actually ran into this problem when I was reverting from gingerbread back to froyo once all the brick warnings were coming out, and I foolishly cleared data/factory reset, and then tried restoring my backup, which I hadn't yet removed my (addition) at the end and got the md5 error. Luckily I had a copy of an older version of the ROM which I flashed, and then went in with EStrongs and renamed my backup to its original name.
[Thunderbolt General] Turb0wned:
Thats the thing, I haven't been renaming them anymore and I still always get the same error. Only one that doesn't give me the error is my original rom backup.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
I had a buddy have the same thing happen to him. The only backup that would work was the original one that I made for him when I helped root his phone. After that he bought a cheap class 10 SD card off eBay and no backups from that card would work, md5 mismatch every time. It ended up just being a bogus card from a shady seller and after he got a new SD card everything worked well again.
[Thunderbolt General] Turb0wned:
Thats weird, I have a kingston 32gb....
[Thunderbolt General] boristhebladexx:
i got MD5 mismatches by putting '/'s in the name for instance "gingeritis6/5/11" would show up as "gingeritis6/" and would not restore
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
With the CWM available for DS7, I am planning to try to see if I can build a gingerbread to DS7.

Currently machine is still running at home before I left for work, after fixing the issue from using Froyo camera drivers. Hopefully I can have something bootable and generally running on Simulator by tonight.

If so, will someone folks here brave enough to join me trying bricking this babe using gingerbread?

Or we succeed using gingerbread. =)

Anyway, I am not a "certified" dev but I just want to contribute a little to this community.

[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Good luck! We await your betas in the rom development. =p Tho... wed praise you more if you were on Honeycomb. =p
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
yeah good luck! No one has gotten as far as dj steve and me porting this over.. you'll see you'll get a build to build.. but the boot image needs to be seriously tweaked. Me and DJ Steve were close.. We were just set back due to my device getting bricked. Once I get it back we are going to try again and pick up where we left off.. I can tell you this.. it wont boot without some serious serious hacking.. Steve and I got pretty close but no cigar yet..
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Got ya, thanks!

The first step to debug is to log. Is there a good way to log the boot process even it wont complete booting yet?
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
adb logcat
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
also if you get on freenode #dellstreak7 if steve is there he will answer questions for ya..

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bnovak:
Hey guys....

this is going to sound really stupid, but does the G-tab need a task killer with the stock firmware (3588 I think is the latest OTA update) Mine "seems" to auto-kill at return to home, but I've yet to confirm it.

Thinking about the root to TNT Lite tonight. Like the tablet so far....and my god the new update is far and above the original firmware!

Thnanks...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] punchemcface:
Task killer is kind of unnecessary with froyo. Some people swear by them, some people say it'll make your device worse.

In my experiences, it's not needed. If you absolutely must force stop something manually, you can from the settings.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bnovak:
thanks....yeah I noticed that they seem to have done a lot better with Froyo than previous versions. My phone (original droid hardware) still seems to have issues though....
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I too don't believe in Automated task killers. the OS handles that pretty well.

However, I do like to occasionally clean things up a bit.

I use an app called Super Manager (free in market). I mostly got it because it has a root based file manager that can mount the /system partition r/w (nice to be able to do some quick thinks without needing adb, etc).

Anyway, it also has a cool little widget that shows current free memory. Click the widget and it kills background processes, and frees up memory.

I've not had any ill effects from using it, and it just makes me feel better to see all that free memory :)
[Nook Color General] Gigi87:
ok guys please help me, my nook fell on the floor, and i dunno how the power button is now damaged... it doesn't "click" properly, and it's like it's always pushed... i can unlock th nook by pushing on the frame near the button... how can i fix it? it's really annoying because every time i try to turn it on it powers off by itself :(
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
Best solution would be to open your nook and fix, no idea about how sorry..

I don't think that key (remap power to vol+/-) remapper would help, it probably load after the nook boot..

Just read the above article, wanted to see what other people thought about it. It seems like kind of a kick-in-the-balls plan from google, but then again, I'm not really worried about the G-tab getting an official 3.0 release. Since were using most of the base hardware that 3.0 was designed around, I'm sure someone will get a port eventually, it would just be nice to get a bit more support from the big G.

As much as I love the honeycomb UI, there is really nothing wrong with 2.2 and 2.3. In fact, to make myself feel better, I just think of honeycomb as android with additional bloatware...which I'm sure is true to a point.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
I don't care for the UI too but I do care about the Honeycomb optimized apps. This is really the only reason why I wanted Honeycomb.
[G Tablet General] abecvar0627:
This is not surprising.

On ZDNET (slash) blog (slash) google (slash) google-android-30-honeycomb-open-source-no-more (slash) 2845

They had to take a lot of shortcuts and strip things down for XOOM to meet the deadline. Just wait for 3.1 when they Open Source it again.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Same here -- it's a waste to not use that increased resolution and screen size on tablet-optimized apps.
[G Tablet General] edirector:
They are delaying because the source code isn't ready it will remain open source and available to all devices. Google made that statement 3 days ago. Would post the article but I am on gtab. Either it was on market watch, wall street journal, new York times, eweek, infoworld of another site I frequent.

It is however old news.
[G Tablet General] lordgodgeneral:
I put a post in the one of the threads about the release delay on honeycomb. Google partnered up with LG for doing a Nexus Tablet (supposed to out ~July) and Google will not release honeycomb source till after the release of the Nexus Tab, (~Aug)

Also it mentioned that something about the licensing agreement needed for using 3.x that it cannot be put on a device running 2.x.
[G Tablet General] Darkrift:
lol, like many ppl here are actually waiting for an "official" version.

Here's the link to the actual article

http://thenextweb.com/google/2011/0...-partners-with-lg-to-launch-new-nexus-tablet/

Also anyone should know that until there is an official announcement anything being discussed is speculation, so get off your high horse.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I read that as Google not allowing manufacturers to upgrade 2.x tablets, not they the would not release it to the community until after the Nexus tablet launch.
[G Tablet General] ricosub:
this seems to be the Google official position about HC:

Google has decided to delay the release of the Honeycomb source-code to the general public for now. If you are a member of the Open Handset Alliance you can get access to 3.0. Also, other manufacturers are able to get access to the source-code upon request, but only for use on tablets. Ultimately, Google wants to avoid contaminating Android's marketing image because some low-end device makers forced out buggy "Honeycomb phones". Here's what Andy Rubin, CEO of Google had to say on the matter,

Android 3.0, Honeycomb, was designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes and improves on Android favorites such as widgets, multi-tasking, browsing, notifications and customization…We didn’t want to think about what it would take for the same software to run on phones. It would have required a lot of additional resources and extended our schedule beyond what we thought was reasonable. So we took a shortcut. While we’re excited to offer these new features to Android tablets, we have more work to do before we can deliver them to other device types including phones… Until then, we’ve decided not to release Honeycomb to open source.

Before anyone could cry foul and compare Google to Apple, Mr. Rubin added,

"[Google is] committed to providing Android as an open platform across many device types and will publish the source as soon as it’s ready."

It is probably a bit nerve racking for developers and enthusiasts that Google has taken this step. It's easy to jump to the conclusion that they intend to begin "locking down" the product, but one could also look at it from the standpoint that Google is serious about protecting 'Andy' from being "dumbed-down" too much. Also, this fine-tuning process will help them nail-down extra security measures to help reduce malware issues in the future. What do you guys think? Is this a signal of sad times for Android, or just smart business strategy?

Its simple really- for any android tablet to compete with the ipad it needs to be semi bulletproof as far as stability goes and quality of UI etc. This is the only way google is going to be able achieve this. They will release it. When they choose is going to be carefully timed.
[General Questions and Answers] bonikowsky:
OK so here's the thing. One of these days I'm gonna have to replace my laptop... it's just dying on me.

I've always been a sceptic on the whole tablet form factor thing. Seems like it would be cool, but I can't figure where it would fit between my laptop and my EVO cause it couldn't replace either one.

Now to tell the truth, some of the new tablets just look amazing (was just looking at the ASUS Transformer Tablet/laptop).

The only thing is I could never get completely away from Windows for some things (eg. Adobe Creative Suite)

My question is, would it be impossible to ever see Windows 7 dual booting with Android on a tablet? (And yes I mean using a purchased license and everything, nothing pirated)

If so, I'd definitely make the switch over to a tablet. Until then, I just don't know...
[General Questions and Answers] bonikowsky:

[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
As most tablets are ARM powered devices, Windows 7 will not work.

But if you want to hang around for Windows 8, you will probably have a lot more luck. Microsoft has said it wants to see Windows running on ARM powered tablets, and is spending a lot of effort to make it so.
