[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
The backup app I mentioned above takes the data and saves it into an XML file, it doesn't just copy the DB files.

So:

I have my SMS and call log backups run daily (they're quick)

I run Titanium Backup every few days or after a big round of Market updates

If something crashes and a DB file gets corrupted, I delete the DB file. It usually gets recreated

If it was my contacts DB, the "Call Logs Backup and Restore" app on the market works perfectly for restoring these.

I am not sure if Ti Backup will restore call logs and SMS - I've seen claims it doesn't. I know the apps mentioned above do.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
Yeah Ti Backup backs up everything, if you want. I've used it to transfer my call logs and SMSs to a new card, etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
Thanks to confirm that~

Also i notice you are having a fixed build of xdandroid frx06. I read the release notes and find many fix i like. Just wonder whether your build have WisTilt2's fix kernel or not? Since the official frx06 do not include WisTilt2's kernel yet..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
The official releases never have testing stuff rolled with them. WisTilt2's changes will make it to the autobuild kernels, in one form or another. AFAIK highlandsun's only released a rootfs and a system image.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
Right, use whatever kernel, I've only touched rootfs and system.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
See it. Thanks~

Thanks for your build~ Want to have a try later~
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Rico ANDROID:
I have 5 home screens set up on my Dell Streak, each containing a group of widgets/shortcuts that relate to a distinct home screen.

Is there an app like a "Text label" app that lets me longpress and add a text/lable widget at the top of each screen and can enter the text that i want to use as a lable for each screen?

Example,

Home Screen 1 text display "Phone and Messaging"

HS2 text display = "Office and Calendar"

HS3 text display = "Android Market and Online Shortcuts"

HS4 text display = "Games"

HS5 text display = "System and Settings"

It sounds like a simple app where you define the text to be displayed, then drag it in place on which ever home screen that the longpress step has been executed.

Is there an app for this in the market?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] 3GBeyotch:
I think this will do what you want...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Fazziebear:
Search for minimal text or minimalist. You can add text clocks as well as text strings
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Fazziebear:
Sorry meant to say in the market....search the market
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Rico ANDROID:
Thanks Fazzie I will check it out. Greatly appreciated
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Truaim:
The Regina launcher from the market includes this feature and is available free on the market. 2.0 and higher I believe.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] erick.c.:
Search the market for Banner, it's a very simple to use widget with color and font options, also size of the font.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Alexanderbooth:
you could also, use a different desktop background for each homescreen and put each background into photoshop or something and write the text actually on each background before you apply it to the phone. Means you could have endless fonts and blending options doing it that way. Obviously slightly more time consumming though.

:-)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Rico ANDROID:
All are great options.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] msgnyc:
you can also use desktop visualizer from the market to place custom widget style icons onto the desktop.

Make a few text image files in GIMP or photoshop or whatever, place a widget onto the desktop and assign to it any image of your choosing.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] zAm1987:
Text Widget, made by an xda member should do the thing.

I "named" my homescreens with this widgets in a very similar order as your example ;)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Rico ANDROID:
Swank! I will search for it on the forum. The member named it "Text Widget"? That should be easy to find. Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrazz:
Here's a bit of an interesting one. Ever since official Froyo release, I've been getting GREAT reception in my house. Previously, "cell standby" was responsible for much of my battery drain. The odd thing is, I have changed NOTHING. I haven't flashed for weeks. I'm running Adry's EC01 Rom(and radio), with Jt's 4/15 kernel.

Has anyone else noticed a jump in reception? Do you think it's possible Verizon changed something on their end to go along with this update? Quite curious!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrazz:
I'd also like to add that given the better reception, battery life has been stellar. This confirms great battery life for my aforementioned phone setup, (at least for my exact device).

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeekmic:
Got a Desire HD and have to admit I am impressed with the stock phone as is.

However many have told me that going Custom is like day/night and have decided to take the plunge.

So many choices so please recommend a ROM for first ever flash. Prefer something stable, reliable and does not drain the battery.

Cheers :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garman76:
With the criterias you have I would go for Android revolution 3.5 based on software version 1.84. It's stable and a rom for day to day use. And you can get it both with sense and no sense.

I personaly are using Revolution 4.0 beta, and haven't had any issues with it, but a full version of gingerbread will not be available with sense before a official or leaked version.

But it's a lot of stable ROM's out there, so in the end it's up to personal references..

Good luck :)

I tried Cyanogen 7, coredroid and revolution 3.5 ..

And for me revolution definitely is the fastest, most stable. The other 2 roms showed my trouble in their first day, being sluggish or even hanging. But i've been running revolution without a problem for like 2 weeks now.

I only had the soft microphone and wheater problem. But these are known (do not occur to everyone) and there are tested and working patches out for it.

In a nutshell .... Am really happy with revolution 3.5 :D

EphuNord RLS1

This is an almost untouched release of the latest Nordic 3.4.2_177-005 2.2.2 Froyo release (Deblur). However i have made a few changes to allow themeing of the framework, if you like heavily edited releases this is not for you. If you like to make your own changes...this could be for you.

I think people should be able to decide themselves what to add or remove so if you want to remove any apps just install Titanium Backup from the market. It's free and removes system apps!

Not too sure if the themes will work on another. They will probably work on other Nordic based roms but Nandroid backups may not restore due to framework keys not matching the rest of the key system files.

Hi Guys,

I was recommended to you by a good friend of mine. I recently pyrchased a Samsung Galaxy S mobile phone, and i must say what a great phone, i had had it for a couple of days and want to root it it currently runs 2.1 eclair is it ? and was given a file to download that contains 2 files one telling you how to root and other with root file which is ( z4root.1.3.0.apk ) now ihave already conected usb cable and have done this so far -

Gone into applications and checked unknown sources box!

Then gone into development and checked the usb debugging box!

now where it tells me to put root file into memory card via usb ! now this is where we get stuck dont know how to put root file into memory card and it should go into into internal memory not external ??

just need help and advice on what to do next so i can root my mob and know that i am in the right place for this advice .

Thanking you all in advance.

You can use Z4root for rooting 2.1 & 2.2 only.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Yep kies can be downloaded from samsung website. Or google it which will get you to the direct samsung download website somehow. When you install Kies it will install the drivers, then you can connect your phone by USB to the PC.

Yes, on 2.1. it is a bit slow (what you describe as "freeze"). If you upgrade the firmware with Kies to 2.2.1 it will be faster so you really should do that.

Why not root a phone? That's easy to answer as all the guides say here in the forums:

you should only root if:

- you know what rooting is and what it's for

- if you actually really need root (most apps won't)

why should you not root:

- "it sounds like it's something I need but I have no idea why"

- rooting requires flashing (depending on ROM) and that can "bricK" your phone (one way or the other), forcing you to get a Jig (in one of the better results) or send it in for repair (in the very worst case ever)

- rooting a phone can potentially damage your phone (by user error or by malicious apps, just think of what that dude did to jailbreaked iphones in the Netherlands once).

I'm a total Linux noob but I claim to know the difference between a limited user account and a super user (as it is similar in Windows).

So I know I have access to the system files on the phone and I know I could mess up my whole phone and break it if I mess around with these files.

Personally, I did not root my phone until I really had needs for that (such as Titanium backup). As said, many apps won't even need root access.

Anyways, do what I did: start reading those guides, they might be long, some not so newbie friendly and there are quite too many duplicates (kind of) but they contain a lot that is good to know before trying some more advanced stuff. This really saved my phone on the very first flashing already! :D Do some selective reading. :)

Should you really have needs for rooting after all that reading and only want to root but no other changes (yet) I suggest using CF-Root by Chainfire as that is a stock kernel (part of a ROM), so basically it just adds root and that's it (needs to be flashed so better read those guides).

I noticed on your first post you checked the debugging, go to settings applications development and uncheck debugging then open kies then connect phone with usb, kies should then install the drivers and it should tell you there is a firmware update which will hopefully give you 2.2.1, then you can disconnect phone, close kies, go back into development and check debugging, connect phone to pc and on phone pull down the information bar and select to copy files to your pc, then you can see your phone as a external drive. Hope this helps and works

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
no it does not require flashing at all.

rom or kernel / bootloader modification requires flashing, gaining superuser access does not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
ok after installing kies. reboot, if the drivers fail first plug try a different usb port or a manual reinstall of the drivers

make sure your phone is in kies mode settings >wireless & network> usb settings > ask on connection or samsung kies.

Let keis do the firmware upgrade.

then close Kies disconnect your phone

set i back to usb debugging settings> application development > usb debugging

download superoneclick (v1.6.5 is available very easy from a quick google on mediafire iirc) connect phone click root and wait about a minute.

then go to the market and install the busybox installer and make sure busybox is upto date voila a rooted phone with the latest busybox ZERO RISK.

by the way there is just as much (if not more because of it's bloatware status) risk using kies to flash a phone as there is using ODIN and downloaded rom files.

the only difference is that you have zero risk of invalidating warranties which in my opinion probably wouldnt happen anyway, most samsung authorised repairers first step in troubleshooting an issue would be a reflash there and then in the store in my experience.
