Anyone know what the difference is between the white 3G status indicator and bars...and the blue indicator and bars? Ive been wondering what its been about since the first GB leak. Switches back and forth between white and blue.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, the CRT Animation zip install works on the newest rooted GB just as it did on previous builds. Just installed it.

Issue Rooting 2.3.3 GB

I know that this is not the 'official' thread for rooting the new 2.3.3 GB update, but would like if those who have updated and rooted have an tips for me.

I followed the directions at mydroidworld.com, but the step that references using the D2 bootstrapper is killing me.

When I hit to Bootstrap Recovery, I get an error that the 'su' command failed (Error running exec().Command: [su, -c, ./data/data/com.koushikdutta.droid2.bootstrap/files/surunner.sh] Working Directory: null Environment: null.

Call me lazy, but I am not a member at mydroidworld.com, and don't like being a member to many of these sites, so any help would be appreciated!

All I know is I followed the directions for sbf and the new rooted update and they worked. Also boot looped a few times by not wiping data/cache. And I'm still a noob. You might try downloading the things you need again and starting over. I had to do that too. Start over, I mean.
[Droid X General] homeeey:
Good for you for apologizing.

My 2cents, Moto's really been watching whats good and bad as far as custom ROM's go. This leaked .588 is about as close to how I was configuring my OG Droid, and now DX using cusom ROMs.

My only complaint, and reason I believe it was not an intentional OTA commando leak, is the hard key brightness intensity. The buttons are really bright, and don't go out when docked, I doubt that would not have been overlooked in an OTA.

Need to give props to people testing leaks. I've used a lot of ROM's over the last 1 1/2 years, and Moto's getting pretty close to getting me to run root. Probably will never be close enough. But the latest leak is pretty sweet. Moto should at least give custom ROM dev's credit somewhere in the blurriness. Pretty easy for their pro developers to cruise forums and find out what good before putting it in blur. Speaking of blur, don't think it's slowing my phone down any more, so don't see a need to get rid of any of it.
[Droid X General] jeftep:
I believe when the icons are white, the connections are being negotiated/turned on. I use an app that cuts off connectivity when the screen is off and I often see my Wifi or 3G icons appear in white for a few seconds and then turn blue once a connection is established.

At least, thats what I assume is going on.
[Droid X General] TheYar:
Just to clarify, the 2.3.3 available now cannot be called "stock," "OTA," "official," or any such thing. It is a leak. If you downloaded it from mediafire, megashare, or a forum, and Moto/VZW deny that there is an update yet, then that is all the evidence you should need to understand that what you have cannot be called official or OTA.

This is true even if it is a signed update.zip.

If and when an official GB is announced and widespread OTA deployment begins, it is possible that it could be this exact same build; true. Or it might not.
[Droid X General] rocko73:
It's not official. A leak at best.

Two or three people claiming to get it OTA does not make it official. It needs a lot of work to be finished.

Hey there guys,

I've had my Galaxy S for about a month now and thinking that its about time to get rid of 2.1 and go for the big 2.2.1 jump.

I just want a stable, fast and reliable version that I can get a speed fix installed on and I want battery percentage.

With so many ROMs out there can someone reccomend a good basic stable ROM to update to? And as a newbie is there a easy walk through that I can follow.

I've that there is a couple of gingerbread releases out there. Are any of them official stable versions for the Galaxy S?

Js8 + rom (most people go for darky 9.5)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalbrz:
From my own experience I can recommend Criskelo Rom - stable, reliable, fast.

But really, you should choose on your own because there are some differences :)

People would call me boring, but I like stock JS8 + Voodoo Kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
I like Doc's JS8 because of the kitchen and they always work flawless and are super fast. This way i get what i want the CSC/Modem for my region and only the apps i want. I used only two ROM's Darky and Doc and i prefer Doc due to customization and actually find it much faster then DArky even though Darky's has a higher Quadrant score. Main reason for me not to use Darky is im in Canada and the ROM is more or less geared for europe.

I have never had slowness/lag problems, everything is quick and snappy and this is with lagfix off. Using Speedmod K13c with recommend tweaks on and no lagfix.

When official 2.3 comes out from samsung that is the only time i will update as its PREFECT right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfvaldo:
+1 for Doc's ROM.

I like that you can customize it the way you want it, choosing the modem, csc, kernel, apps, etc. So you can just install the ROM from CWM and that's it, all working in one go.

I have Doc's JS8 with Damian's Kernel with all ext2, and it works great, IMO, smooth, no lags ever, great battery life. All I ever wanted.

HOW? You'll need CWM to install it (You'll need to flash a kernel with it using Odin if your phone doesn't have it yet.). Just go to romkitchen.org and customize your own ROM with all you want/need, download the generated zip file into your SD Card and install it. Simple as that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxck:
Using

Rom: - Doc V11.1 - ZSJPK,

CSC: - XEU

Kernel: - Damian v1.3 beta 3 (EXT 2)

Modem: - ZSJPG

Undervolt: - 25mv (not stable for anything higher......my phone issue)

Overclock: - 1.280 Ghz

Stable, fast and smooth. Battery life is good as well.

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Are you already rooted? If not SuperOneClick works well with stock 2.2.

Next, the easiest kernel to flash as a firsttimer using Odin is definetly Speedmod. Hardcore's instructions are clear and exact. This will give you Clockwork Mod.

Finally, build yourself a ROM in Doc's Kitchen. You can control exactly what elements are installed and the walk throughs linked to the main Kitchen thread make it dead simple.

After you have used one of Doc's ROMs for awhile, if you wish to you can try one of the more baroque custom ROMs like Darky's.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Another + for the Rom Kitchen and big selling point is that the forum is not littered with posts saying this rom broke my phone .

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Moe:
Background: I am not new to rooting android devices, have been rooting since the G1 came out, but I am going to be switching to Verizon when my Tmob contract is up. Have my eye on the thunderbolt for myself, but have found a DINC for my daughter that has been rooted, the seller says his SDCard errored and corrupted the SDcard and now the phone boots into bootloader with the skating androids and he can still get into recovery.

My QUESTION is: will the directions for the RUU work in returning the phone to stock (like odin does for my Vibrant) . I have been reading all the DINC threads and this seems the best bet.

Or is there something else wrong with this DINC I am not reading just yet?

Thanks,

Moe
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
It should, as long as you can get into HBOOT (skating androids), you should be able to reflash the RUU to get back to stock.

Hi!

I flashed CM7 (Stable) last night and it was working great. I was using it today when phone froze on me...I don't remember what I was doing...I think I was listening to Pandora. Even though the system was frozen, I was able to hold down the Power button to select Reboot. Phone rebooted but it was stuck on the splash screen for at least 10 minutes. I pulled the battery but it won't get past the splash screen. I tried to get into hboot but the phone vibrated several times and then displayed a blank screen. Now all my phone is doing is flashing the green LED.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Marc
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dhessler5:
This could be bad, but don't panic yet.

It has happened to me before and a simple waiting 5-10 min and a battery pull has done the trick.

Do you have a nandroid backup? If so and the battery pull works reboot into hboot and then recovery and restore it. If not boot into hboot and do a full factory reset.

If after waiting a while and you a battery pull still doesn't do the trick try holding down the power button and volume UP. This could possibly reboot it.

If you finally give up I suggest trying this thread.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lestat832:
Thanks! I stopped panicking enough to be able to get into HBoot :) I still couldnt get past the splash screen so I ended up reflashing CM7. Everything is fine and dandy now. I'm keeping an eye out on it today because it froze when it was running low on battery...I want to see if it does the same thing today. Thanks again for the help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill102938:

I've had great luck with the CM7 ROM. Last night I ran my battery down to 1% before charging and didn't experience any issues. Hopefully your issue is resolved for good!!!

Glad I could help! I really like CM7 the battery is great on it. If it freezes again try to reflash it. If it works, Great! haha

Off Contract = $549.99

[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
That;s quite cheap compared to what we have here in europe. You always get lucky :p

How much a month would it cost with a 3 year contract?
[Xperia Play General] tanquef:
You can make the preorder online, check on rogers website, and on the search bar put xperia play, they are taking pre orders until May 1st, you can choose either color and the plan, always with 3 years contract, they dont allow off contract preorders.
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
What I'm dying to know is if the Rogers Xperia Play will have an unlocked bootloader.

SE is in talks with the carriers to make that happend. Could be why Rogers and Verizon is taking longer to get their phones out. I always wondered why Verizon's phone comes with stock gingerbread instead of sony's skinned version.

The cheapest plan is around 55$.

200 minutes

Evenings (from 6pm) and weekends unlimited local calling

500 Mb of data (you can add 5$ for another 500 mb)

There's other options/extra available such as caller id, voicemail for a fee.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
Without a contract you have to pay 500 euro's or more here (725 USD).

[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
Wonder if the Xperia Play Rogers edition is SIM/Network locked. I'm betting probably, so if someone from the US bought one for the full non-contract price we'd still have to get the SIM unlock to be able to use it in the states.

And would they even sell the phone contract free to someone that is not already a Rogers customer?

If any Canadians on here could check that out, that would be killer... I could stay with AT&T instead of having to bail to get this on Verizon.

This info might help other Canadians too. Isn't Fido another GSM network up there?
[Xperia Play General] yanyu:
It is locked for sure

There is a off contract price 499 I believe

Unlock should not be hard, and I guess u can just carry it around like a pap go when you didn't unlock it
