[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
Thanks...

I'm downloading darky_heimdall.zip. As soon as it is downloaded, I will try it.

Just for your information, with CMW I tried to mount the USB and it worked!

So, now I am at a dilemma... Should I flash darky with CMW or heimdall?

Oh, if you wanted to know how I managed to install a WORKING STOCK ROM with froyo... here is the tutorial that I followed:

http://neosystm.com/2010/12/actuali...000t-a-froyo-2-2-1-xxjpy-de-forma-no-oficial/

It worked as a charm... I had Froyo 2.2.1 with JPY ROM.

The problem began when I tried to update it to JS5 ROM.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
I just finished downloading darky's rom...

I noticed that it has 3 .bin files: boot.bin, modem.ini and slb.bin

I was curious about the content of my previous working ROM (JPY) and the not working ROMs (JPU and JS5).

I found that JPY has only the modem.bin file.

and JPU & JS5 have boot.bin and slb.bin (but no modem.bin).

Question: Since you advised to install darky's rom and but the sbl.bin file at the end, so my phone can get flashed with everything but slb.bin, can I do the same with the JS5 ROM?

I look forward to your response...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
OK... I tried to flash darky's rom with CMW... it said:

"Installing: SDCARD: darky_heimdall.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update..."

And it hung... I guess this was expected due the slb.bin...

I'm gonna try the heimdall method.

So, what do you think? Should I try it with JS5 or with darky's rom?

Cheers

The last two sentences appeared when I unplugged the phone after a 10-minute wait.

I removed the battery, and put it back again. Turned my phone on, and I've got the picture of the cell phone - computer hazard. I'm able to enter download.

What's next?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
Froysm, do you know what's the original ROM that telcel uses to ship our Galaxy' S?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
I've found a thread that says that they fixed it going back to JM8 ROM, and then moving back to Froyo 2.2.

Does anyone know any potential damage of such flashing?

I read this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780867

And it seems that downgrading can lead to corruption and hard bricking.

Does anyone know?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froysm:
Hey, sorry i didn't answer sooner, let's see...

Yes, you can.

That specific version of Darky's rom is intended only for heimdall, so it will obviously fail. You'll see, some files can just be flashed via CWM and some can just be flashed with Odin and Heimdall, be careful and read with which tool can be flashed.

As I told you on my last post, heimdall can take care of that. Just put your phone in Download Mode and write heimdall close-pc-screen. That should solve your problem.

Nope, i've never found it (actually i've never needed it).

Try my methods first, I've tested them a lot and never had a real problem. If you want to try this, go ahead. As i told you before it's very rare to hear a phone really bricked, most of the times it's recoverable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelagarza:
Oh, I forgot the heimdall close-pc-screen.

Ok... I tried it twice.

The first time my command prompt was busy trying to upload sbl.bin, so I opened another command prompt and I threw the command. The result: "Failed to access device. Error: -3"

The second time I waited until the flashing ended with error, and then I threw the command (within the same command prompt). The result: "Failed to retrieve config descriptor"

Hmmm... what was the other method that you mentioned in your first post?

In the other hand, can you read the following post, and could you go through all the comments after the post. Pay special attention to Jedi and GSCATIL...

http://foro.neosystm.com/f19/androi...00xxjvk-%96-beta-para-el-samsung-galaxy-s-69/

Jedi describes my exact problem (about the phone vibrating), and GSCASTIL is from Puebla, so he is with Telcel as well...

My problem didn't happen updating to gingerbread... It happened updating to JS5 (Froyo).

Hope this helps... what do you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froysm:
Always, after any task completed successfully or unsuccessfully either with Heimdall or Odin, unplug your phone, reboot it, put it again in download mode and connect it. So do that again, flash, wait for the fail, unplug, reboot, download mode again, connect again and try to remove the error screen with heimdall.

I will read that post and see what i can find (I can't read it right now, sorry).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgaf98:
i have searched and searched and cant seem to find an answer.

i just had to replace my launch day evo. and the new one has the newest 2.10 hboot.

is it possible to install a custom splash screen with 2.10 hboot?

any info would be awesome and thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiffany84:
Well u can't use fast boot commands with that hbot but I would say u could flash one that is packaged as a pc36img through the boot loader. U may have to be s-off though. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure. I have the eng boot loader and have never messed with 2.10 but I think that's how it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgaf98:
oh man... thanks so much. i didnt know about the pc36img versions. just got my old slpash back thanks alot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiffany84:
Not a problem. Glad I could help.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CapnPez:
So, I'm trying to make a nice theme of my own and a couple things I've seen out there that I'd like to add to it are:

No text underneath the quickpanel buttons (i.e. "wifi", "bluetooth", etc).

-can someone tell me how to do this?

The settings.apk that includes the clock and am/pm toggle in the notification bar.

-is it alright to just grab this from another rom/theme and apply it to any other rom or are there more adjustments that would need to be made? I'd like to just take one and theme it, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't do something wrong when adding it to any other rom.

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
The no text thing is a smali edit. If I remember, its in the services.jar...but not 100% sure.

With the settings, theming an apk and using it for multiple roms might work if similar builds. What I would do, would be to extact the drawable-hdpi folder from the settings.apk...pull the images you want to edit. Then save them in a separate folder which you could inject into what ever roms settings that you wanted to using 7zip or something similar.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] CapnPez:
Thanks for the replies! MikeyMike01, can you be a little more specific about which xml (I'm assuming it's an xml edit) inside the twframework-res.apk needs to be edited? I have the apk decompiled, but wouldn't know where to look to find the correct file to edit.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CapnPez:
I did a little searching and one that looked promising was the layout\status_bar_expanded.xml. Am I on the right track (it's like a treasure hunt at this point :) )? If so, what do I do to it to remove the text? I'm not very experienced with xml edits, so if it's really complicated, I'll try harder to find something from which to learn. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CuriousTech:
Has any of this been documented? For the clock toggle, you need the settings.apk and add code to the services.jar

The text under the switches is in res/layout/strings.xml and can be changed to

<string name="indicator_wifi" />

<string name="indicator_bt" />

<string name="indicator_sound" />

<string name="indicator_gps" />

to just make them blank.

Then in status_bar_expanded.xml you'll want to reduce the size of the header and vertical padding probably so it doesn't take as much room. Here's mine with the default size buttons and very little padding. With other buttons you'll want to play with the 50.0dip mostly.

I am looking for a GPS app that is comparable to a actual GPS, I have tried searching and GPS is a pretty common phrase in a lot of threads. lol.

Thanks for your help in advanced guys, I appreciate the help and experience that the forum brings to the table.

P.s. I am not against having to buy the app. I am just not going to drop a ton of money on an app when I could just buy a GPS for pretty cheap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
What about google nav? or even the sprint nav? lol.

I think we need to know more about what you are looking for in this app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
There's a few like navigon or aura but they are expensive, google nav always gets the job done for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
* Navigon

* iGo

* Copilot

There may be some others, but i'm not aware of them. Of the above 3, I found copilot to be most robust with an intuitive UI.

Navigon and iGo seemed outdated.

Of course, if garmin ever gets off their ass and makes an android navigation app, that will probably be the best. Their windows mobile version was awesome.

What's wrong with the native google navigation app? I don't understand.

EDIT - just took a look at the mapquest app. Pretty cool.

Does anyone know of a Navi app that includes waypoints? Say I'm driving to my buddy's house out of town and want to find a chevron on my way there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
The problem is it requires a data connection. Although the OP didn't say it outright, I think it was implied he's looking for something that does not. All 3 of the ones I mentioned store the map data and points of interest (POI's) on the sd card.

And yes, copilot supports multiple way points. I imagine the other two do as well, but didn't play with them at length as I thought the UI was bland, and pretty much stopped there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodboynyc:
I believe google maps will do this as well. You'd just need to fiddle with the layers. But actually chaining multiple points together, A->B->C->D, isn't possible yet on Google Nav; It's just A->D right now. :<
[Nook Color General] cclinco:
I could use some help getting my bluetooth to work. I've tried several of the CM7 nightlys, their RC4, phiremod v5, v5.2, and v5.3. They all flash just fine, and work great, except when I try to turn on the bluetooth. When I go to the settings and try to turn it on, it just spends 30 seconds trying then goes back to having it off. I've flashed and re-flashed the system, and have read everything I can find, but don't know what I'm doing wrong.

My steps.

1) Downloaded 8gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.tar.gz

2) Burned the contained img file to an sd card (used the dd command)

3) Copied system image to sd card (ie phiremod-nook-V5.3.zip)

4) Unmounted sd card and inserted it into my rooted nook

5) Turned nook on

6) Formated /system /data and /cashe

7) installed from sd card, selecting zipped image (ie phiremod-nook-V5.3.zip)

8) when complete, unmounted sd card

9) removed sd card

10) rebooted

11) it always fails to boot the first time, but works find after a restart.

Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?
[Nook Color General] luciferii:
What works for me is pressing 'fix permissions' in rom manager then reboot and badabing.

[Nook Color General] cclinco:
That did the trick!, thank you very much luciferii
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Just a note as I try to avoid "Fix Permissions" when possible-

Anyone with this problem MAY be able to turn bluetooth on by rebooting and enabling it as quickly as possible.

This seems to work most of the time for most people. Not always..

If not, fix permissions and a reboot does seem to take care of it the rest of the time.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Why would you avoid fix permissions? It just sets things to sane values.

As for me, the fix I heard and what worked for me was to turn off Wifi, Power off, power back on, turn on Bluetooth and let it init, then turn on Wifi. Now both will turn on.
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Two reasons:

#1) While I am not afraid to mess with root access or abilities I also try to avoid doing so whenever I can. If I don't NEED to, I don't. Same way I work on my linux computers. And if I have done nothing to mess perms up they SHOULD be ok.

#2) I think the simplest fix is best, every time. (As long as it actually FIXES the problem, of course.)

If all that is actually NEEDED is a reboot and turning on bluetooth quickly, why do anything else?

[Thunderbolt General] fastnsx21:
When taking two fingers and sliding down the angle of the camera should change. Zoom all the way on the spot you wanna see. If they don't load that means that area doesn't have 3D buildings.
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
Try going somewhere like L.a Or San Fransisco in Google maps. Then zoom in kinda close. close enough so that you see some 3d ish squares. Then with 2 fingers swipe down and it should show you 3d version of map. Make sure you have the latest Google map downloaded. Search Google maps in market just in case :cool:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epyon711:
Hey guys,

New to the forum. Had a droid, upgraded to a Thunderbolt and love it.

I have a question about my ip address for my phone. I noticed first with speedtest.net that the closest server to me is in NJ. I researched and saw that this happens a lot. People in California were seeing the closest server in Arizona.

The thing is now, I did an IP search to see what my IP address was on 4G&3G and it's saying Bridgewater, NJ. I'm in Rochester, so I was wondering if this is happening because of some IP submask or something else? If not, i'm wondering if I am going through like a 'middle-man' server and getting slowing speeds. Sometimes when I surf, the phone holds up, even on Google with 4 signal bars.

My friend has the TB, lives in Orlando and his phone's IP is Orlando.

Does anyone have a similar issue? Could it be an issue with my SIM card? I took it to the store and the tech guy had no clue. He just said that Bridgewater is one of the corporate locations, so maybe that's why my IP is like that.

If anyone wants to check their IPs, this is the website I searched: ip address locator in google and went to geobytes. I can't post links because I'm a newbie.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epyon711:
Anyone have any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekonus:
I'm out on Long Island and it still gave me the default as the NJ server. I just into the settings and changed it to NY. I figured it probably picked Jersey due to the NY one likely being higher traffic.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epyon711:
I'm not just talking about in speedtest.net. That's where I noticed it first but I checked what my ip address was and where it's located. It's located in NJ. I am in upstate NY, so I'm wondering if all the phones in the area are lumped under some subnet or if I'm having some strange connection issue.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirBindy:
I'm also from Rochester and it picks NJ as the closest server. Oh well, doesn't bother me.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
I'm in Norfolk, VA and sometimes my speedtest gets done through Richmond, sometimes Baltimore, and sometimes Washington, D.C. Go figure. I think it just picks a random server with the least number of hops and the most available bandwidth at the time you try to do your speedtest.

As far as the city/state associated with your IP, you are almost certainly going through a gateway at some point, and wouldn't surprise me at all if it were well off from your actual physical location.
