[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelfp1:
thing is, the latest official software for the Evo (3.70) came out in December, so besides ROM theming, there is not much to update in an OTA-based ...

but there's CM7 and all the other Gingerbread ROMs plus the ports from other devices, like the Desire Z-based ROMs, so even though maybe there's not as many ROMs coming out as a couple of months ago, there are enough new ones to try and help the flash-itch!

EDIT: btw, CM7 RC 3 and 4, plus the newest nightlies, and most other GB ROMs now include WiMax, and HDMI functionality with the TeamWin app... GPS, on the other hand, works perfectly for some, and it's iffy for others.. it's being worked on, and it's rumored that it should be fixed for the CM7-final release.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
CM7 has 4G. GPS has given some people issues, but there is a fix. I'm not sure if it's even necessary anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaman68:
cool thing with some of the new GB ROMS is the theme manager built in. CM7 and Decks have it, others probably do too. GPS works fine. I was on elite I, II, and III forever, but got really bored with sense and didn't want it anymore.

A lot of the development has switched over to 2.3, you should try it. You'll be happy after the adjustment to AOSP, or just use Launcher PRO or ADW if you want some familiarity.

edit: is it me or has everything slowed down around here?

I am looking for a package or apk files that contain the samsung apps. I want my phone to be as stock as possible. I am running a rom that is stock by is missing those apps.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
If you're looking for "as stock as possible", just reflash the stock JFD thru Odin if you're looking for all the stock apps/TW/etc.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osutrooper:
If i do that will it still be rooted?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Odin'ing to stock means reset of everything.

you still have your files in sd cards..

There is a package called bloater that has all the apps the phone came with.

Don't look for Bloater in the market though, its not there. Search for it here.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlazyone:
Ditto on the bloater, its great for adding apps that a rom developer might not include in their roms (allshare for me). I actually forgot that bloater was not available on market and wondered why it was not showing up on there.

[Nook Color General] diesputnikdie:
Could you please post your solution? This just happened to me tonight and I don't know what to do short of wiping the whole device.
[Nook Color General] wtalbert:
I'll be glad to. I went into recovery by powering off completely, power up by holding down the N button and the power button. After the initial B&N banner comes up and goes off release the power button. Continue holding the N for a count of 4. It's tricky hitting the right point so you may need to try it several times holding 1 count more or less. When recovery comes up go to "Backup/Restore" and restore a previous backup. Hope this works for you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schiphol:
Everybody wants this. Cm7 pretty much sucks on the sgs, its never updated and you battery wont last half a days. So if you really want a aosp experience buy another phone. I for one have given up hope that its ever going to happen on this phone (after almost a year, rediclous).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaju123:
It will get fixed as soon as the SGS gingerbread source code is released. Also any other AOSP ports will need to use the CM7 kernel source as does MIUI and the source port that was opened here on XDA today, as it is kind of a port of the kernel for the nexus S that is designed to run on the other SGS variants.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
Before writing an derogatory post, do a bit of research.

CM7 on Galaxy S runs wonderfully and a significant number of Galaxy S users are using this as their daily driver. The remaining bugs are small. Battery life is only slightly worse, and in my usage patterns, makes no difference really. New builds are released every couple of days...check the changelog/release history.

Giving up hope on something that's nearly perfect? How depressing.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...d-7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-experimental/

To the OP: someone is already trying to do a "clean AOSP" based of the work that the CM7 is doing. Why you were using ZTE Blade instructions is beyond me. A brief search would have turned up this:

[Thunderbolt General] gweedo767:
So I of course love my Thunderbolt, but I have one issue I can't seem to fix. My phone connects to my trucks headunit over Bluetooth for talk and audio. Once I start Pandora or the native music app, about 20 seconds later the phone says "Bluetooth Headset Disconnected" and thats that. Anyone else having this issue and are there any known fixes yet?

[Droid Eris General] rougegoat:
So I'm right about to get a new phone(and provider), but don't want to just throw my trusty Eris away. I was thinking there should be a rom that has everything but phone radio on it. Does anyone else think this is a good idea for a rom?

(edit)

As everyone has pointed out, Cookieman's rom does just this. I haven't viewed the forums from a computer in such a long time, instead relying on my subscriptions in the phone app(and even then, only caring if a new version was out), that I completely missed Cookieman's thread pop up. That covers this base completely. so....I guess ignore this.

(/edit)
[Droid Eris General] tazzpatriot:
U mean like cookie man's Rom ?

It's called the mp3 rom
[Droid Eris General] gersto:
Gingerbread ROM with no Phone

I saw that too, but i wonder if CookieMan is working on a Gingerbread build of the MP3ROM? Considering it seems GB is much better than Froyo on the Eris AND we have a AOSP GB ROM now out. That would be cool!
[Droid Eris General] wildstang83:
Hey friend, nobody says you can't make another music rom if your so inclined. I'm sure plenty of people would enjoy that.

DINC|CM7|SLAYHER#27
[Droid Eris General] gersto:
considered.....

I have considered it, and probably will once i have some time to actually go through the AOSP ROM AND look at Cookie's to get some starting ideas.

Also already running other ideas in my head on what i would keep/trash....

we'll see if i have time next week to start working on it.....
[Droid Eris General] wildstang83:
I think the radio should be left intact because I'm sure you'd still want to connect wifi. Just take out the phone and message apks.

DINC|CM7|SLAYHER#27
[Droid Eris General] gersto:
wholeheartedly agree

That i agree, and was my first though regarding an updated ROM). A lot of media related apps use Wifi.

I wonder if there is a way to keep just the 3G/cell signals disabled this way you can still toggle the wifi and bluetooth. 3G/cell would be useless since you can't get a data only package with these phones and the intent would be NOT to use it AS a phone.

Things to think about, Peoples brains to pick...
[Droid Eris General] wildstang83:
I suppose all somebody would have to do is open up the radio file, do the modification then rezip and sign it. Modifying a radio is way above me and could be slightly dangerous but I'm sure one of these high speed devs around here could handle it. If we could get a modded radio then the rom build would be gravy.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Yes, you can. Do not, however, change the name of the folder that the nandroids are in.

FYI: The first few letters in the nandroid name indicates what is actually backed up. Yours is BDS which means you backed up your Boot, Data and System. That is why I rename the section containing the date..

You either renamed the HTOA....folder which the backups are in [which you can't do], or you used an invalid character.

Actually, what I did was add the ROM name at the end of the folder for each particular nandroid backup, but I may have used a space instead of a hyphen.

[General Questions and Answers] benandjerry:
Running 2.2 atm, wondering if its possible to completely disable the sync of calendar and contacts to gmail? One would think unticking auto-sync, and each and every of calendar, contacts and gmail under account and sync settings (background data is enabled) would be enough. Sadly, if you decide to poke around in calendar settings, more specifically under calendars where you can change what should be visible and synced (apparently you can turn off the visibility there, or both sync and the visibility, but not sync alone), it will still go ahead and sync. I thought I had put a permanent end to it after adding the following to block list in droidwall:

Calendar storage

Calendar sync adapter, google services framework contacts sync adapter

Contacts, com.android.providers.userdictionary, Contacts storage, com.android.providers.applications

Dialer, dialer storage, SIM toolkit

along with a bunch of other apps which I didnt see a need to require full internet connection, but the ones listed above are the only ones that seemed relevant for preventing the sync. Unfortunately, today I noticed that it had went ahead and synced a couple of new entries to the google calendar again. I really just dont see any point whatsoever in doing it since I NEVER use the calendar on my PC, and if I lose my phone then so be it. I rather at the very least have the option of keeping my personal data off the internet if I would like to.

Anyone have any thoughts or sollutions about this please? Would be greatly appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] benandjerry:
Thanks for your reply!

That doesnt seem to be definitive, I've disabled each and every of them as well as disabled auto-sync completely.

I'll be trying CM7 in the future for sure once a few more bugs have been ironed out, hopefully its not just a custom toggle for the standard sync settings.

In the mean time I dont suppose anyone else has any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] F0x123:
The options in android do not seem to do anything.

As soon as you open "Calendar" -> "Your Calendar" a sync will start even if you have disabled syncing.

I already tried CM7. Is there a way to block or disable even this unwanted syncing?
[General Questions and Answers] dhkr234:
Old thread, but there is a way.

From a terminal, run;

pm disable com.google.android.gsf

-- that will disable google services framework, and all syncing to google will cease.

Note that it will also kill market. Run it the same way, but with "enable" instead of "disable" to restore market, then disable again when finished.
[General Questions and Answers] om.thelostone:
There you Go...

The Chain is as Follows:

Android Assumes that you use automatic syncing, or you will turn it ON when prompted for

and then ..

Part 1

assuming Automatic Syncing

1. All Network Permission Kind Applications (in Android) Sync

2. Those applications which Give you options what to sync, only sync the selected Data

These are due to Services

Part 2

If you disable Automatic Syncing, nothing will be synced in Background, and now

Android assumes Manual Syncing

1. All applications will Sync Data as soon as you open them

-- This is due to Application Opening (Not Background Services)

2. If for Google Account, you have disabled all options, then only the application which you open will Sync

3. It is now not important what is selected in options

-- eg. if you have unchecked Gmail, but when you open Gmail, it will start sync service, and when you touch Refresh from options, It will Sync

Part 3

Finally... to sum up

1. For Applications to fetch you Data, Background Data has to be Enabled

2. For making it automatic, as soon as their is Connectivity, Auto Sync has to be Enabled

3. For Choosing what SHOULD NOT Sync Automatically (only), there are options to choose... you got me right

4. This is only for your account related apps, and other apps have to be disabled for auto sync/update/connect by exploring their settings

So as per your doubt, Disabling Auto Sync should Actually does not sync (Google)

If you open the Application, only then it Syncs

For Special Apps like Calendar which do not have options like Gmail to Refresh

clicking on the Sync settings jumps to Accounts and Settings, where as soon as you select the Tick box, syncing starts

You sync, and when done, uncheck it again

Hope it was useful...

EDIT:

For Apps like Market, there is no other Option but to disable Auto Update of all apps one by one

Nevertheless, Market will connect to Web Service and will notify you about Apps that have updates available

[Venue Pro General] Desynthesis:
A simple question: is there any possible way to tighten the slide on the DVP? Basically, my top face is a little loose when the phone is in the closed position at the bottom right hand corner. I think it got a little loose when I was prying off the Otterbox case.

I'm guessing not, but I just wanted to know if someone might have figured out a way. I'm getting some screen burn-in anyway, so I might exchange the phone for that.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
I'd be intersted to know as well as the screen on mine has gotten pretty loose over time. The screen moves noticeably when pressing on the bottom when closed. This happened just from everyday use.

I'm surprised that you mention burn-in as I didn't think that was possible with an OLED screen.
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
Not sure on the slider, but slight burn-in is normal on OLED screens. It will go away as you let it sit on the new screen for a while, but it is a part of the organic nature.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_LED#Disadvantages
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
my dvp was crappy from day one.

the slider mechanism is cruddy. ive even try to talk some sense into people about how the quality was poor.

everyone just blew me off as if it was fine.

thing is, it was probably loose all a long, you probably just didnt notice it.

most people dont notice these things until something happens to it, then they blame THAT instead.

look at my threads ive created .
[Venue Pro General] Desynthesis:
I have to disagree, mostly because I remember not having any problems with the slider mechanism at first.

And then I tried to pry the case off to show it to a friend, and did it in a rush, and thus, remember noticing how much it was shifting irregularly.

Everyone's not in a conspiracy to prove you wrong, lemonspeakers. We're just not all going to have the same experience.

Frazzell, I know a certain amount of burn-in is normal, but I have mine set to black out after a minute anyway. A phone conversation with Dell revealed that they do, in fact, cover AMOLED burn in for replacement anyway, so might as well take advantage of it.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
If you do exchange it, be sure to test the replacement to make sure it's stable. I had gotten a replacement due to dust and the loose slider, but the replacement locked up like crazy. I ended up keeping the original for now. I am beginning to think the dust and loose slider are inevitable.
[Venue Pro General] Desynthesis:
Of course--it's the reason I'm not doing it immediately. Really, I think I made the mistake of wrenching the thing with my hands as I tried to pry off the Otterbox case, which is why I think this has happened.

In your first post, you pretty much exactly describe what I noticed (that is, if I close the phone and push the bottom right corner, there's some looseness clearly apparent). However, it's only in one corner. I'll have to give it some thought.
