Nice but it doesn't register as docked and that leaves it out for me. I don't use car dock but I use tasker to turn off wifi, turn on BT, turn on GPS, change settings and volumes, etc.. whenever I put the phone into the car dock and then reverse the process when removed. Too bad cus I like that dock alot better than the VZW one... Oh well...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] tigger-gg:
Is there a way to become the transparency in other launcher then ADW (with the wallpaper hack) and without using Live Wallpaper?

I use FroyoMod 2.7.

I have changed statusbar_background.9.png to semi transparent. The statusbar is shown in lookscreen in semi transparent perfect. But in Homescreen there is no transparency.

The important part of my StatusBarService.smali in service.jar:

.method onBarViewAttached()V
.registers 8

.prologue
const/4 v1, -0x1

.line 1645
const/4 v5, -0x3

This seems to be ok.

I have read a lot about this problem, but I found no solution exept to use ADW or any other launcher with Live Wallpaper.

Seems interesting / promising, unfortunately I can't help BC I moved back to Morocco (Africa) and only brought 1 captivate with me. Good luck that is all I can say.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Really interesting and very cool.

But I have a fully bricked captivate which I still have cause it was a friends who just went onto the Inspire. Always have wondered if I could recover the hard brick.

Wish I could help but I'm pretty useless with Soldering and taking apart my phone. But if development moves along with this I'd love to support. The idea of porting those OS and helping everyone saving hard bricked phones would be great.

Good Luck!

Middle battery pin? Reminds me of the battery jig trick on the original PSP.

All-in-all, this looks promising, I'll be following it.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Posted up the iROM in the first post. this is the code which we hope to establish communications...

Keep in mind, this could be over the USB port, the Middle battery terminal, or even the headphone port.

I'M GETTING ONE OF THOSE IN THE AM!!!!!

i have a fully bricked cappy that i bricked lastnight. i was able to recover from the phone..!..pc icon but then failed @95% via odin3 v1.00.

i will mail you the cappy if you can fix it and use it as a test mule for future brick\unbrick attempts...... the outer glass is broken thanks to a fall from my lap to the concrete
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I think I actually discussed this with you before. I ran twice into some instance where no action would make difference on the phone, no response to key combos, no response to charger or USB. But, download mode was still accessible via USB Jig.

What could've happened there?
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Not really positive at this point, id suspect corrupted pbl.bin or param.lfs partitions. I've seen some weird stuff with the pbl. One phone would only output uart when volume + was held for 5 seconds.

Basically from my understanding... The IROM loads into the processor. This is the first 40000 bytes and it's protected memory. The iROM brings up basic functionality for the processor, including the initial factory UART/MMC load of PBL & SBL. The IROM then instructs the phone to load the IBL/PBL(Initial Boot Loader/Primitive Boot Loader). The IBL initializes memory for the SBL(Secondary Boot Loader) , then the PBL loads Params(a partition on the OneNAND) and checks the pins on the processor for commands. The PBL then makes more memory available for applications, then locates and and loads the SBL. The SBL initializes other functions and then locates and loads the kernel.

The SBL is responsible for Download Mode and the SBL prompt. it is basically the system's "BIOS" for lack of a better word. I'm not sure of the steps which can be skipped for sucessful download mode.

[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Some kid reported the iROM code as being in violation of the terms of agreement of the hosting website... It must have been a kid because Samsung would not do that. Just as we have a right to use tools to disassemble our phones, take pictures, annotate those pictures and post them on the internet, we have the same right to the IROM. It's not hurting Samsung's sales, nor is it intellectual property of Samsung. We bought the phones and it came with this. The only intellectual property in this document belongs to the person who disassembled and annotated this code.

I've rehosted it here: http://teamkomin.googlecode.com/svn-history/r75/branches/IROMcode/bootdumps.rar

[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
We can really use some SGS folks to help. Check out the lets save some bricks thread mentioned in the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Two quick questions:

1. How would you manage to get these files? First, aren't they burned into the nand? Secondly, wouldn't they be assembled already? How do you disassemble them?

2. Do you have any good links/books on how to learn arm assembly? I know some x86, but I've never found a good link to arm based stuff (or any sort of dev platform, for that matter).

Sorry about being semi-offtopic.

Nothing revolutionary to add just yet.

However, I just finished adding a JTAG breakout to my collection. This is what my current test setup looks like:

We could use some more DIYer's on this project. The biggest thing to have is an Arduino and a microUSB breakout board. We need to figure out how to get this phone to boot from MMC, USB, or UART... and we know Samsung does this to bricks.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
this looks interesting.. gonna keep my eye on it
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
i can build anything, the purchase of and arduino and making the breakout board are easy but i would have no idea what to do with it afterwards.

it is funny the time you posted this because my friend found out about a club that works with arduino boards making all sorts of things and asked me if i wanted to go to there meetings. this thread popped up the next day.

well i may buy an arduino board or 2 but im not sure if even then i can be helpful
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Well, a pretty much unexplored area of the phone is the middle battery terminal. The middle battery terminal is a ADC(analog to digital converter) pin. We know for a fact that it triggers something called EXT-I2C (External Inter-Integrated Circuit). EXT-I2C can be used to communicate with any chip on the I2C bus. The I2C bus connects with everything on the phone... Call Processor, OneNand, Memory and Application Processor. Using the EXT-I2C, we would have full control over the phone.

I know the middle battery terminal has something to do with it because I managed to get my phone to boot-loop with the pin disconnected and I saw messages about EXT-I2C NACK( EXT-I2C not acknowledged) when playing with resistance values and watching the UART output on my Arduino MEGA.

The unanswered questions are,

How to reproduce that EXT-I2C message?

What are the Addresses on the I2C bus?

Which pins control the I2C bus?

Here's some of the possible I2C bus connections:

USB VCC

USB Ground

USB D+

USB D-

Batt+ (when powered on USB)

Batt- (when powered on USB)

BSI (Battery Signal Indicator - middle battery pin)

Headphone Left Audio

Headphone Right Audio

Headphone Video

Headphone Ground

all External-SDCard (MMC) connections

all SIM connections

This is something you can bring to the table at that Arduino club. You can also read up on this hackaday article http://hackaday.com/2011/05/11/i2c-101/

[Legend General] memo9:
Hello everyone

I've got a problem and I need your help. My Legend fell on the ground and now the glass and display are both broken. To access my device with adb, which I previously installed, I used DroidAtScreen. But recently I deactivated USB-Debugging (:eek:), and now I can't enable it. I need to "recreate" every single step from the unlocked screen to Menu->Settings->Applications->Development->USB-Debugging. The first step (Menu->Settings) is easy and abvious, but I need the other ones.

Could some of you take some screenshots and upload them? I.e.:

1. Menu->Settings, then scroll down to bottom **Screenshot**

2. Scroll a little bit up until "Applications" reaches first entry **Screenshot**

3. Press first entry (=Applications) **Screenshot**

4. Press fourth entry (=Development) **Screenshot**

5. Press first entry (=USB-Debugging) *Screenshot**..

I know it may seem complicated, but it would be of tremendous help! My idea is to print out the images and lay them over the Legend to find my way to USB-Debugging :o

THANK YOU A LOT in advance!

[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Good thinking, you actually only need 4 screens, here you go...

Good luck replacing the screen! There's plently of material to work with in accesories section ;)
[Legend General] bonesy:
If the digitiser (top glass) is broken i doubt your presses will be in the right place, I have a desire in front of me that has a crack in the top left corner of the digi and pressing "a" on the keyboard pull notification bar down :(
[Legend General] memo9:
Thank you very much for the effort of taking the screenshots, but I couldn't access the settings.

The only question that remains is: Does the phone need to be in "charge only"-mode? Because right now, in fact I can access the SD-Card when mounted, so I may have to switch to charge only?

@bonesy: Thank you for the input, but the touchscreen seems to be working fine as I can turn on the phone and enter the PIN-code to unlock it, as well as call a number after opening the phone-application :)
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
ADB should work no matter what the mode...why weren't you able to access it?
[Legend General] memo9:
I don't know... I followed all the steps, connected the phone to my Mac... all this several times, trying to press on the exact location... but haven't succeeded.

I have adb configured as well as DroidAtScreen running and also tried to access it with DDMS..., but when i use the command "adb devices" none is shown. I can access my SD-Card but can't use adb...

I may try again a few times but can't really think of any other alternative than to replace the screen, although I need to access my phone immediately.

Thanks again for all the fast answers and if anyone has an idea or some sort of walkthrough... I would appreciate it.
[Legend General] bonesy:
ADB wont work unless you are using a custom rom OR its selected already.

Maybe a USB port failure?
[Legend General] memo9:
What do you mean? I have accessed my phone in this environment several times before, everything should be set up correctly. It may be a USB port failure, altough I have tried to plug it into other USB ports.

The only thing I'm struggling with right now is accessing the Debug-mode in the settings.
[Legend General] bonesy:
Ah i see, i meant the phones usb port... Could be 1 pin failed on it stopping certain things working?
[Legend General] memo9:
Doesn't seem to be the problem since I can mount the phone and access the SD-card, but thanks anyway.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
Hey All,

I currently have the Samsung Vibrant. Looking to get the HTC Sensation. Is this a good choice? How will battery life be compared to my vibrant? What do you guys think?
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
Yup.

Should be an improvement.

You'll like the feel of HTC also, if you've never used one.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
I never used an HTC yet. I went from Motorola Razr, to Blackberry Flip, to Blackberry Curve, to Samsung Vibrant.

How is the battery life on the Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
It's not out yet, so we can't answer that.

However, this phone does have a respectable 1520mAh battery.

It should be as good as or better than your Vibrant.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
great! thanks so much!
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
compared to the vibrant. will this be a better phone? faster? easier to use?
[HTC Sensation] Killbynature:
It should be faster than the vibrant. The sensation CPU works independently from each other. Well it should be easier to use. Sense is a better experience than touchwiz all around. HTC makes the user experience far easier than most other customized versions of android. Anyone can pick it up and certain aspects are far superior to stock android. I personally don't like sense but they have the features like a far superior copy/paste. Better wifi performance etc.

Hello,I am from Europe and i would like to know if i buy a HTC Leo(or HTC HD2) from the USA ,will i be able to use it with a sim card here in Europe?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yes no problem (after unlocking it too, of course), and if your network uses 1700 or 2100 for 3g that will work too.
[HD2 General] InnieMinnie:
Hello. I got an unlocked Htc hd2 t-mobile and i am trying to use it in Europe but i don't know exactly how i could change the gsm band cause i can't find the menu for this. I am using CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.3.

P.S. : i tried a code : *#*#4636#*#* which got me into a menu and i changed the band to Europe Band from Automatic but it didn't change a thing, and now i have an error " The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly " . I tried a hard reset but nothing. Please help. Sorry for my bad english.
[HD2 General] InnieMinnie:
Nobody? :((
[HD2 General] consolation:
I don't think you can change GSM bands. Your phone will work correctly if your provider uses 1700 or 2100 3G bands or has a 2G GSM network.
[HD2 General] InnieMinnie:
Our provider is using 900-1800 mhz, that's what i heard... and htc leo has Technology GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz ... WHERE IS THE PROBLEM?:(
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
He is using a TMOUS Leo, which does not have the 1800/1900, it uses 1700 upload and 2100 download. I'm not sure that 3G is possible, but certainly edge should work, assuming the device is unlocked and he has a SIM card from the European carrier.
[HD2 General] consolation:
I got a feeling he's talking about GSM not 3G. It's not upload/download. The first frequency is usually infill and the second the urban high density areas. Eg. 900/2100 (the most common type). 2100 is used for high density urban areas as it allows for high data rate/ number of subscribers per channel. The 900 is infill as the lower frequency means it penetrates better through interference / obstructions giving greater range for same power. However, it means lower number of subscribers. So it's used in lower density areas. The 1700 AWS channel is a weird compromise that never caught on. All frequencies include upload and download channels.

[HD2 General] Mister B:
My T-Mob HD2 works in Europe, Bands are selectable if in manual mode (WM6.5.5 Dinik custom ROM).

Some of his problem will be due to Android not working fully with radio control/settings.
[HD2 General] InnieMinnie:
I was talking about GSM, not 3g. I have installed a custom rom of wp7(cotulla), but i cannot change gsm band like on wm 6/6.5, and active sync and wmdc didn't recognize my device. If i go to usb tty it's recognizable but it is disconnecting immediately. In the device managaer the htc device has a yellow mark " ! ". Where is the f**** problem? :mad::mad::mad:
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Why not ask in the WP7 forums?
[HD2 General] InnieMinnie:
Cause i tried with android and activesync didn't work either.
[HD2 General] consolation:
You need an android ROM with sense for HTC sync to recognize your device. Try one of the desire based builds. (Correct me if I'm wrong...)

The browser is the most used feature on my phone but its a PITA because of this issue, when I touch a link to open in a new window I generally get what is shown in the first screen and I need the window from the second screen. I'm having to zoom all the way in most of the time and its a real pain. I have this problem with all browsers and have checked the browser settings but no luck, anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I didn't have this problem on my Droid X. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolutioncsr:
You may get better and more detailed responses if you tell us a little about what Rom you are running and any tweaks you have applied browser or otherwise. Only time you should get a popup like that is with long press.

Then again no idea what you browser tweaks you have applied.

I also have a Droid X and as general browsing goes I do not have any problem like you describe.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
It does happen with a long press, but when I long press a link I should get what you see in the second screen, not what is in the first, the first screen is what should happen when you long press on text or another part of the page other than a link. I use dolphin hd mainly but this happens in all browsers that I checked. I'm currently running das bamf v1.6.2, but I also had the problem on v1.5, 1.6, 1.6.1 and stock roms. I think its just because the screen isn't accurate but wasn't sure if anyone knew of a fix.

I think a sub-forum for Galaxy 5 would be in order. Development for this device has started a long while ago by the MAD Team that managed to do an improoved version of the stock 2.2 ( with ext4 and much more improovements) , a port of the 2.2.1 from the galaxy mini and an almoust fully working cyanogen cm7's latest build.
