One of the tricky parts will be to pick which ROM you want to use. There's no correct answer, there. Look through the developer's forum and pick one that strikes your fancy. Vegan and TNTLite are both very popular. I'm running tjohnsonjr's Gingerbread with Honeycomb elements in it - one nice thing with that is that I've had none of the market problems I've heard others complain about. There are a lot of other options, including a test version of the popular CyanoMod 7 (the Gingerbread release) with a lot of honeycomb elements especially for tablets.

How to Install a New ROM

Is there someplace that gives you step-by-step instructions on how to install a new ROM?

Thanks

Did you even click the link that Chadness provided or are you just trying to get your post count up? If you want to flash a new ROM then you should start with that link.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
Your question was answered. Check the link provided.

Several suggestions.

Read up on the available ROMS before you make your choice They all have advantages and disadvantages.

Pick a ROM. Pick one that has been around for a while and is stable for your first time. Don,t pick prototype roms. Get comfortable with it before changing. If you want to try multiple ROMS. LEARN NVFLASH fisrt.

Print out the instructions and add check boxes to each step. The follow them carefully and be patient. Some of the reboots after flashing can take a while.

Not sure if its something to be flashed but check out "extended control widget" on the market.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] rhan8706:
Hello people so after a year of messing around I finally got my gps to lock. The problem is that it is not 100%, sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesn't. So my question is like WM is there any way to check and setup aGPS correctly on your XV6900.

I am currently using android 2.2 and I get locks sometimes using GSP test app. It also take anywhere for 1-20 min and I have to be outside the whole time. I think the having the aGPS configured right will be nice. Please help! I will really appreciate it. Another thing I have androind on my rom and no WM installed on the device.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gorm:
I use GPS Status and Toolbox. You can find it in the market, just search "GPS" its free.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rhan8706:
So still did not find a solution. What does work though is using GPS Status and Toolbox manually updating A-GPS the using GPS test to lock. This gives the fastest results. For sime reason GPS Status and Toolbox takes a long time to lock compared to GPS test. I also like the UI of GPS test better.... well this problem is some what solved.
[Captivate General] rudger90:
hi guys,

i'm not sure if you guys know about this but i feel like i want to share this.

i called at & t customer service this evening asking about the unlock code. the guy on the at & t said that the unlock code will be released on july 7th, which is a good news for those who don't want to get into the technical side of getting your captivate unlocked now...

Ever since we got the JH7 update, the Galaxy S Unlocker from the market has stopped working for a lot of people. Nobody thought they when the update would overwrite the EFS directory with null info. Sneaky Samsung. Shame on them :p
[Captivate General] pietro_spina:
Yeah,

I got the July 7th date from an ATT chat rep also. (posted it in another unlock thread)

Options for captivate users with updated firmware are

Wait for the 7/7 date

Or use the $5 SGS Unlock tool in the market

Or use the Manual Hex editor method (steps 2,3,4)

If your phone can do it, do Odin 1 click back to the original stock version, then run it. My insurance replacement came with the newer 2.1 on it. One clicked it, rooted, and ran the tool.

AT&T really irritated me when I got my original Cappy. I bought it outright and they refused to give me the unlock code. :mad:

Here's his tweet @P3Droid I can not explain, Just get that sh!+ off, If you uncapped your Bolt, GET YOUR A$$ BACK TO STOCK, NOW!!!
[Thunderbolt General] azturbomini:
Nooo. Did you use the tethering hack?
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Nope there is no tethering hack

Only if you used the hack. Rooted and custom roms are good to go.

Yup. : )

There isn't one. Why would we need one? We get free tether til may 15 if I remember correctly.
[Thunderbolt General] ikon8:
Seems like he's just spewing nonsense. Keeps talking about undoing some hotspot and uncapped data hacks that no one has any clue what hes talking about. He keeps saying he'll post more info but doesn't, then says he'll explain later but doesn't. I think what he's talking about is AndIRC's April fools fake data hack, just scroll through his twitter feed, it makes absolutely no sense.
[Thunderbolt General] azturbomini:
http://mobile.twitter.com/p3droid
[Thunderbolt General] Firesong3k:
He's talking about the patch that was released to fix the wireless tether issue with the current Gingerbread version. If you just installed wireless tether without the hack then as soon as you tried to start a hotpot it would direct you to verizons page telling you to sign up for their tether package. This patch made it so wireless tether would work as it always has. For some reason he is telling whoever applied the patch to undo it. It has nothing to do with being rooted or having a custom rom installed.
[Thunderbolt General] xCHPx:
Do we even have gingerbread?
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I put up a fix in development.
[Thunderbolt General] ikon8:
Aside from that, he keeps talking about some uncapped lte hack that no one has ever heard of, he says supposedly people were getting 40mbps, though no one has ever heard of this hack before, " If you uncapped your Bolt, GET YOUR ASS BACK TO STOCK, NOW!!!" He told some guy that if he goes over 150GB data this month Verizon will come after him lol.

Get your tin foil hat out.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Wait so if we just installed wireless tether(just for the hell of it) and used it, its fine? I'm not really understanding this either. I'm not getting crazy lte speeds either (I think)
[Thunderbolt General] xCHPx:
Yeah I think he's just starting up drama. And the 40mbps is a glitch in the speedtest app.

Again, the ridiculous speeds were a glitch. follow teamandirc on twitter.

Agree that he's off the reservation, but I did notice something that I missed the first time.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treebreland:
Wanted to bump this. I am having this same issue, and my bars go from green to white especially after unlocking from standby. When they are white, I can't connect to anything even though I am connected to wifi at home? This issue is REALLY annoying. Anyone else dealing with this or know of a fix? Sometimes it randomly changes while I am using it. The only way to get it to go back to green is signing into google talk, which sometimes takes 3-4 tries with server connection errors in between. When I am at home I have little to no internet connection via cell, and gprs is all I can connect to, which is why I use the wifi at home. I just don't understand why I can't use the internet if the google server is not connected, and why it drops the google server connection constantly. I should be able to use wifi for browsing apps even if its not connected to google???? Or am I wrong. Please help.

Thanks

cheers!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You're mixing cause and outcome. Your WiFi doesn't work at home, or your phone doesn't want to work with your home WiFi - that's the reason you can't connect to internet, and that's also the reason why you're seeing grey bars.

I have started having this problem this week too. My WiFi is fine. The browser connects and loads pages fine. My connections are now always grey/white instead of green regardless if I'm on WiFi or 3G/2G. All Google services do not work. I am not receiving push emails nor can I force sync in the Gmail app. I've tried to connect by opening up Google Talk but it closes right away. My WiFi sleep policy is already set to never.

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Market description

live dmesg / logcat is the one and only boot animation replacement that shows the actual dmesg / logcat log (kernel / Android debug messages). It looks a bit similar to a BIOS boot. Handy for developers too! Unlike other similar apps, the information you see on screen is real and live, not a pre-recorded fake.

The paid version price is aimed at being "one beer" (at the bar, not the supermarket). Google does the price conversion, but if it comes out way above that in your area, let me know.

!! requires a fully rooted device !!

!! install on DEVICE, NOT on SD-CARD !!

The paid version adds features to hide the copyright notice, enlarge the text size, and rotate the display. For the ultimate geekgasm, get the paid versions of both live dmesg and live logcat, and display both in split screen mode during boot. In that case you can also switch between the three modes during boot by tapping the screen.

The application uses some (root) trickery to get itself installed and running, and it may not be compatible with all devices. It also requires writable /system in many cases ("S-OFF"). It has been tested and found working on the following devices (though it may not work on all firmwares and kernels for a specific device):

- Samsung Galaxy S

- Samsung Galaxy S II

- Samsung Galaxy S III

- Samsung Galaxy Note

- Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1"

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7"

- Asus/Google Nexus 7

- Samsung Vibrant

- Samsung Captivate

- HTC/Google Nexus One

- HTC Thunderbolt

- HTC Desire

- HTC Desire Z (T-Mo G2)

- HTC Desire HD

- HTC Incredible

- HTC HD2

- HTC Evo

- HTC Hero

- Motorola Droid

- Motorola Droid X

- Motorola Cliq

- Motorola Milestone

- Motorola Atrix 4G

- MyTouch 4G

- LG Optimus 2X

It is likely to work on many more devices, if you use a non-listed device and it works, please leave a comment! Note that it will never work on ALL devices, so please don't just rate it 1-star if it doesn't work for you.

I'm using yours CF-Root 2.9 kernel on SGS with stock JVK and app says "Sorry, it appears your firmware is not compatible! (Could not find the boot animation binary)".

Tried to remove it from /system/bin/ (maybe conflict?) but it still gives me the same error.

Not working on my SGS - JVQ

Hi

This great app worked previously on my phone. I've been using DarkyRom for some time now. I've upgraded the to to latest Stable rom (MODEM XXJVQ) and since then the Dmesg or Logcat does not work.

The Apps starts fine - Askes for root acess - Granted -> Install Live dmesg - Install complete and then prompts for reboot -> Reboot with no dmesg.

I can choose any other bootanimations and they all work but for some reason this stopped working.

I've checked for the file described in the prev post:

/system/bin/boot-dmesg -> OK

/system/bin/libcfsurface-dmesg.so -> OK

/system/bin/*.backup -> OK (samsanani.backup)

/data/local/bootanimation.bin -> No

/data/local/*.backup -> No

I've tried various methodes to resolve the issue

I've manually deleted them.

Installed and uninstall the application separately. Reboots after every install.

Still nothing work :confused:

Here is my in init.rc maybe it can shine some light on my issues.

Thanks again

Shawn
