[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camdizzzle:
Im taking over a broken Vibrant with multiple issues. Currently has CM7 Nightly (04/11/2011) installed. I plug it into my PC and it will only charge. There is no notification prompt for USB connection. I have tried formatting the internal and external sdcards, and a factory wipe, still doesn't work.

ROM Manager doesn't recognize the CWM currently installed. It has 3.0.0.5, but rom manager shows 2.5.1.2, and reboot into recovery function doesn't work, it just does a normal reboot.

I have tried flashing different ROMs and Kernels via CWM, but none will work. I also tried re-rooting with this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723479 but that didn't work either. Cant use Odin because I can't connect to PC.

Any suggestions? Forgive me, I'm still kinda noobish, lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camdizzzle:
Does anyone have a clean backup folder that I can restore in CWM? Seems like that's about the only thing I can do right now. Thanks.

Just to shine some light on this thread.

What can we use Ad-Hoc networks with our phones on/for?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VibrantOwnr:
its a great way to share internet from your computer...

my computer is at the other end of my house and it gets great wifi reception though my tiny phone does not. To fix this, i put another wifi adapter in my computer and created an ad-hoc network. Now i just use my phone to connect to that network and now have great wifi reception on my phone

[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Can anyone confirm for me that a rooted HTC Inc 1st Gen will wireless tether with a non rooted A500.

I currently have a rooted D1 and I can't use it to tether to my tab b/c of the ad-hoc. My D1 is starting to go anyway so I'd like to pick up a used Inc to hold me over til the SGS2 comes out. I know I can root the tab to allow ad-hoc, but right now I rather not. Thanks

[Thunderbolt General] DeTard:
Probably the wrong place to ask this, but can't post to the TB Dev forum just yet. I'm trying to figure out how to mount sd-ext on my TB, but currently haven't figured out where to go to figure it out. I saw there was the script that Firerat had made for CM5, and I'm not sure if that will help create my own script possibly, but figured I would ask here first to see if anyone has already created a solution for this.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
At a minimum, you should say which ROM you're running, and how you've partitioned your SD card.
[Thunderbolt General] DeTard:
Sorry about that. Okay, currently using das-BAMF 1.6.2 with the included kernel. I have partitioned it with 512MB ext and 32MB swap.
[Thunderbolt General] firejuan:
I feel your pain.

I can’t answer your question. But how did you partition your SD card: manually, rom manager, or with software such as minitool partition wizard?
[Thunderbolt General] DeTard:
I partitioned it from Recovery. Doing it from ROM Manager caused it to hang. It would reboot into Recovery and try to start the partition process but nothing happened. First time I ever tried I had NO idea how long I should have expected it to run, but I figured out after 3 hours that this was abnormal. lol.

Doing it from Recovery though even has more options for sizes, and only will take about 4-5 min on the microSDHC that comes with it. I just found it odd that partitioning it from Recovery directly resulted differently since that's where ROM Manager tries to partition as well. Clearly the process from ROM Manager =/= the process from Recovery.

Has anyone ever tried Mugen extended 1600mAh battery on our phones? I'm thinking of getting on and I want to know if its worth it.

[Vibrant Accessories] Nabeel10:
Why get a 1600mah when theres a 1650mah by T-Mobile?
[Vibrant Accessories] MadJoe:
Because no one can find the friggin 1650s. Even the post dedicated to them doesn't have more than a dead ebay link for them.

Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
[Vibrant Accessories] movieaddict:
why get the 1650 when u can get 2800 on amaZON for under 20.00 us?
[Vibrant Accessories] abrown0809:
Well anything higher than 1600mah will cause the phone to get really fat.

I posted link above.
[Vibrant Accessories] nazcalito:
fat battery

I got one of those fat batteries from amazon and it doesn't seem to last that much longer than a standard battery. It also makes the phone look pregnant. :(
[Vibrant Accessories] deadly3kys:
I am using a 3.7VDC 3500mAh Li-ion Battery for my vibrant and it lasts me for 2 days and a half without charge, Of course the battery is a little bulkier then the normal 1500mAh, & it comes with a back Case, its worth the cost and its for only $16 Bucks on ebay. Its worth the money :) Sweet
[Vibrant Accessories] Nabeel10:
I got mine yesterday, but did yours feel like it didn't work at first? Cause I feel like it doesn't work, but I heard its gonna work after a week.
[Vibrant Accessories] deadly3kys:
Well actually the battery was working fine when I received it. What you want to do is once you have the battey, deplete it till it fully drains out of power. Then recharge it with the charger they supplied you, don't charge it throu the phone. Once you see its fully charged. Chharge it for at least 1 hour more and u will get the full capacity of the battery. If your vibrant has a good kernel u will be set for 2 days straight. Hope that helps. Am using overstocked kernel
[Vibrant Accessories] Nabeel10:
Oh okay, but the one I got only came with a battery and the back case for it, I don't know what you mean by "...charger they supplied you." Do you mean the Vibrant charger?
[Vibrant Accessories] burger1987:
...he said dont charge it through the phone, which is the only way you can use the vibrant charger so that rules that one out, so by process of elimination and a lil bit of thinking the only option left is his came with a charger for the battery, probably a small dock type deal.

Just gotta think a little not too much to ask
[Vibrant Accessories] deadly3kys:
i apologize for the late reply, I should of been more specific with the charger i was talking about. It is a USB/AC Wall charger for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Sprint Epic 4G, AT&T Captivate i897,T-Mobile Vibrant T959. You can view it on ebay, Amazon etc.

I tried to the AngelDeath GPS fix as well as a radio flash and still cannot lock on to a satellite. Is there anything that any of you have done that are in the same boat as me that has worked? I would put this in the dev forum, but I'm not allowed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
Actually, this thread belongs here.

Do steps 1 and 2 twice (i.e. flash the radio and RIL twice):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061712

If you have Inspired Ace ROM, you don't need to do step 2, as it comes with the latest RIL.
[HTC Inspire 4G] steve_gr:
I didn't wipe delvik cache the first time and his GPS fix didn't work. I couldn't even get the gps icon to even come up. Once I did the wipe and flashed his zip, it worked! I was shocked Cuzco I had tried several things to fix it but his zip was the only thing that actually worked!
[HTC Inspire 4G] louslugger15:
Where is the option to wipe the cache at? How do you stop after step 2?
[HTC Inspire 4G] steve_gr:
When you reboot to recovery, "advanced" is listed at the bottom, right above "Go Back." Scroll down and select it. There, you will see "Wipe Dalvik Cache." Select, and when it states that the Dalvik Cache has been wiped, flash your chosen zip file for the GPS fix.

I took a look at his updated instructions and I noticed that he doesn't mention wiping the Dalvik Cache, but I am pretty certain he did in his original post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] louslugger15:
Speedboost.zip isn't on my sdcard. I moved the radio to the sd card and reloaded, but the speedboost.zip isn't there. Is there something I need to move to the sd card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] steve_gr:
Not sure we are talking abt the same thing... This is the thread for the gps fix. It contains detailed instructions that I know will get you through the process of installing his GPS fix. It looks more complicated than it actually is.

Time for bed. Good luck...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
Right. Which he claimed he tried, but didn't work. Which is why I linked him to replace the radio to default updated AT&T's, and to install the latest RIL, which may be the fault.

He's talking about the radio/RIL fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] louslugger15:
Step 2 is where I have an issue w/ the link. Where do I get the speed boost?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
It should all be in the one zip folder. The radio (pdimg or whatever) and the "speedboost" zip.

Basically what you're doing is installing AT&T's default radio (software that's responsible for the hardware of your phone's signal, GPS, etc., kind of like a driver) and installing the latest RIL (to my understanding, the software component of the "radio", responsible for the phone call or whatnot).

By using default AT&T's you minimize the risk of it being software error (as your mimicking a stock phone).
[Acer Iconia A500] 07aspenx:
I've had my since last Saturday from Bestbuy and today after downloading Taptu from the market it froze my tablet. I rebooted and when it came back up it was still sluggish. I rebooted again and now I'm stuck on the android logo and won't go any further. Does anyone know how to do a factory reset? This is really annoying me since I haven't done any mods to this tablet. :mad: I'm coming from a viewsonig G tablet that I had rooted and overclocked to 1.5ghz. :mad: I thought I would give it a few weeks before I rooted this device.
[Acer Iconia A500] 07aspenx:
Just a quick update, I'm chatting with Acer support right now. Hopefully they can tell me how to do a factory reset so I can return this tablet. Very disappointed at this point.

OMG this support person has no clue what device this is. This is how they want me to do a factory reset:

Prajesh Jena: Okay.

Prajesh Jena: Well ****, the cause for the issue you are experiencing is might be due to static electricity. The battery issue occurs when one of the cells in the battery fails to hold charge properly.

Prajesh Jena: The static current remains in the battery sometimes due to which it does not allow the battery to get charged up. Hence, I will provide you the power drain steps.

Prajesh Jena: 1. Turn off the notebook and unplug the power cord.

2. Disconnect all external devices.

3. Remove the battery.

4. Press and hold the power button for 10 to 15 seconds.

5. Plug the power cord back into the computer and press the power button.

6. Check the front panel LEDs (lights) on the bezel (front face) or optical drive and check if you hear the internal fan.

7. If computer boots up, turn it off.

8. Reconnect any external devices.

9. Restart the computer.

Prajesh Jena: Please perform the steps and let me know the result.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Lol, just take it in for an exchange.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Yes that's how their support is. Although that's really bad because they're supposed to know what you have when you put your serial number or snid in and that rep. seems to think you have a notebook.

This is straight out of the Acer A500 manual so I hope it works for you:

Resetting your tablet

You may have to perform a reset if your tablet fails to respond when buttons are pressed or the screen is tapped.

To reset your tablet use a small thin object (such as a paperclip) to press the recessed reset button.

If that works then you can do the factory reset as you should probably know by now, Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset.

GL.
[Acer Iconia A500] 07aspenx:
I tried the reset instructions prior to posting this thread but it didn't really do anything but reboot the tablet. It was still stuck on the android logo screen. I ended up going back to Bestbuy and trading it in for the Xoom. I really, really liked the A500 but this put a scare in me. I would understand if I borked the tablet by rooting or modding it, but it was stock. Oh well, lesson learned.
[Acer Iconia A500] cmdpapichulo:
I'm having the same issue except mine is loading past the android screen to the unlock screen but i get no response from the display and once i hit the power button it won't turn back on unless i hit the reset button and it sucks because best buy is sold out right now so i can't exchange the device which sucks A** I'd have to wait 2 weeks to get another one if i could get the factory i could restore it but no luck finding that so i have a brick that looks shiny
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Its been very quiet in these forums recently, probably because everyone has bought a Galaxy S2 or a HTC Sensation!

I recently came across UPX, this is a compression utility that can shrink exe and dll files quite dramatically, saving space and increasing application launch speed quite dramatically.

I am currently using Mirom8 and even though this Sense 2021 rom is protected have decided to list exe and dll files that can (I think) be UPXed for speed

Here is a list of exe and dlls from the \windows folder and their UPXed size:

AdjustMotionSensor.exe 109k

AdobeReaderLE.exe 1050k

AlarmPopUp.exe 105k

AlbumSearcher.exe 135k

AudioBooster.exe 87k

AudioManager_Eng.exe 76k

BackupRestoreUI.exe 220k

Camera.exe 161k (nice increase in launch speed here)

CommManager.exe 152k

ConnectionSetup.exe 112k

ConnectionSetupAuto.exe 115k

ContactEditor.exe 66k

EmailSetupWizard.exe 97k

Facebook.exe 206k

HTCAlbum.exe 400k

HTCAppointment.exe 105k

HTCBookmark.exe 123k

HTCDRMEngine.exe 949k

HTCMsgEnhance.exe 110k

HTCPhotoPicker.exe 358k

OneNoteMobile.exe 268k

PPCPimBackup.exe 147k

PPT.EXE 687k

PushClient.exe 137k

PWORD.EXE 128k

PXL.EXE 291k

RSSHub.exe 266k

ServiceMode.exe 160k

SettingImprovement.exe 90k

SIM_MGR.EXE 82k

SimLockP.exe 49k

SimMgr.exe 117k

SPMC.EXE 117k

StreamingPlayer.exe 165k

Uploader.exe 97k

WiFiNetwork.exe 67k

wma9prodecoder.dll 236k

wmv9decoder.dll 258k

WMVDMOE.DLL 238k

YouTube.exe 145k

And other useful savings

Opera 10, 2 largest files can be UPXed, flashlite, the large dll can be UPXed

S2U2, all exe's can be UPXed, makes the unlock screen quite smooth to use

Its not worth UPXing files less that 200k although it might help a slow launching app around the 150k size, and normally its not worth UPXing files that stay resident in ram all the time, as it can use quite a lot more ram than normal, but if you launch apps a lot, then it can really make a difference to the speed of opening your favourite applications. Apps that use .net cannot be UPXed either, so that is a limiation otherwise more files could be UPXed.
[TG01 General] mirolg:
Very good work!!! Have you send me all the files? I will over weekend swap the files and re cook mirom8.
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Hi Miro

I will send you a rar file again via email today at some point.

This can be done to other rom releases too you know, i am unsure of total rom savings space wise, possibly 20MB-30MB, not huge but we are talking a whole 20MB plus of internal storage free for something else.

Also it would be useful to know whereelse in the rom there are exe files i can try to upx, must be other places.

[TG01 General] mirolg:
hi, a short statement:

my sense 2021 package i have compressed with cfc.method the result is sense and sense tabs starts quicker and works really faster. ok. miROM1 and mirom8 are in the lastest relases also fast, but all starts 0,5 sec. quicker. UPX method compress the exe + dll files and the result is from app to app different- but i mean the most works better and we save few MB storage. miROM8 has now 270 MB and miROM1 has 256 MB free Storage.

Both ROMs are with all fixes and updates incl. cam-button and toshiba power + wifi settings.

I would test it and will upload it next days

cheers, miRO
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Good news and sounds quite exciting, i am glad you found a way to get CFC working with 2021, i had read it was somewhat more difficult than previous versions like 2012, and UPX saves some space, thats good too.

270MB user storage is incredible i would say!

Great job!
[TG01 General] lesscro:
Which version of UPX did you use ?

can i have a link ? :p
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Any version above 3.03 supplied with this batch utility works fine, but i used the latest version 3.07

Best to do all compression on your pc rather than use a PPC version, it can take quite a long time to compress a large exe file.
[TG01 General] lesscro:
thx for all... i will test myself on my TG !

And only a few Exe seems to be work like my old test with my P535 long time ago...

it appear too somes EXE manage in .NEt/win32 are not supported actually !

But when it work... it s soooooooooooooooooo fastest !

Working file compression :

RCapture.exe 53 248 2010-04-26 16:28 -a---

then i have seen on Mirolg ROM thread you manage a complete suite with standard TG exe... can you share this package, i think system files (*.exe) is universal...

And maybe you win when i will finish my new SKIN in test ! ;)

other nice idea to still use this tool always updated... i forgot it ! but it s very usefull !
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
I know .NET files cannot be UPXed, i did say this in my other post about UPX, but this thread was to state what i found could be done on mirom8.

Also bear in mind small files less than maybe 100k are not worth doing, because there is a latency involved with getting file off of storage, and then decompressing it in ram.

Also there is a downside, files UPXed have a higher memory footprint than files not compressed, so for instance, Imanager.exe that would always be resident in ram, is a bad idea, it will use more ram than it would if it wasn't compressed, its more useful for the config program, as that would make it open faster, any program that starts with the phone, don't bother UPXing it, any program thats always running, don't UPX it.

Glad you found the post useful.
[TG01 General] lesscro:
then i will try to tes Mirom8 Rom and extract desired system files compresses based on your discussion with Mirolg...

thx for all !
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Mirom8 cfc is a beta and is not protected, so you can either ask Miro for what can and can't be done, or dump it in a kitchen and use it as a guide as to what to UPX and with what settings, not everything can be -Brute compessed, especially dll files, i believe there is a -Best switch, you will have to do a lot of trial and error, Miro has made leaps and bounds in finding what can be done, if you find things he has missed, let him know, anything to get a smaller, faster rom. My favourite example is the camera application, it fles, it opens in about 3 seconds.

Adding to your list of what you found could be done, i can tell you both of the largest files in the Opera application can be UPXed, so thats the exe and the largest dll file, in flashlite the largest dll can also be UPXed.
[TG01 General] lesscro:
i will tru one by one Windows Exe files...

but i repeat i m pretty sure system base system is same on all rom especially system configuration files...

and All TG tool file, like camera and more other indispensable application...

You know what i m looking for... that's why i ask you to send me a package with already identified files system 'UPX transformed'...

I will won lot of time...

indeed, i will report your technic 'UPX' to a French Rom Cooker...

Actually my ROM, maybe it will try it himself too... and more tester more report !

have fun !
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Some components cannot be UPXed, cprog.exe, unless you first compress the png files, and gwes.exe, will eat more memory than ever if upxed, however if you found a technique to make it work postively on memory usage, please share how you did it.

I read some of this thread, maybe useful to you.

Only files i have are the ones listed in the first post, better off looking at miros roms as he has a lot of files upxed there.
[TG01 General] lesscro:
Damn ! Beautifull... all your idea is awesome !

All your link is so cool...

i will try to test some new files... another tester is in place now... we will report all files we can test here !
