[Nexus S Android Development] oldblue910:
Please read this post in its entirety before downloading and flashing.

THIS IS FOR I9020T ONLY! IF YOU DECIDE TO GET BRAVE AND TRY THIS ON AN I9020A, I9023 OR D720, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO ANY PHONE BY USING THIS ROM.

YOU MUST FLASH THIS ROM USING CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY. THIS WILL NOT FLASH USING THE STOCK ANDROID 3E RECOVERY AS THE ZIP FILE IS NOT SIGNED. I HAVE NOT TESTED IT ON OTHER RECOVERIES.

This is probably more for posterity now than anything else, however I have created a CWM-flashable full on ROM for the original Nexus S Gingerbread firmware, version 2.3, build GRH55. This is built exactly the same way that the full OTA ROM packages for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 were built.

Some notes:

1. Since GRH55 did not include the script that automatically overwrites alternate recovery images with the stock one (this was introduced in GRH78/2.3.1), flashing this ZIP will flash the stock Android 3e recovery that came with GRH55. This means that ClockworkMod Recovery will go away after flashing this ZIP and you will need to re-flash it manually if you want it back.

2. Flashing this ZIP will overwrite your bootloader and radio, restoring them to I9020XXJK1 and I9020XXJK8 respectively. These are the versions that came stock with GRH55.

3. GRH55 is receiving OTA updates. As of this writing, the latest version of Android is 2.3.4, and Google is pushing an OTA update for 2.3 to 2.3.4.

4. This ZIP will NOT clear your user data or cache. For users running a stock ROM, I would highly suggest clearing your data and cache manually as sometimes downgrading without clearing data and cache can cause problems. If you are coming from a non-stock ROM, you are required to clear your data and cache or the ROM will not boot.

5. The market app works just fine but does not update to the current style and look. The market app that comes with GRH55 is version 2.12, which is the look that's now 2 generations old. For whatever reason, Google no longer allows version 2.12 to update to newer versions. That said, if you install a later version of the Android Market (3.0.27 as of this writing) manually, it will update to future versions automatically.

6. Since writing NFC tags wasn't introduced until GRI40/2.3.3, the Tags app is read-only.

7. There is no video chatting through Google Talk. This feature was not introduced until GRJ22/2.3.4.

Instructions:

1. Download the Stock GRH55 ROM package here.

2. Copy it to the root of your USB storage.

3. Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (or flash it).

4. Select "Install ZIP From SD Card"

5. Select "Choose ZIP"

6. Find the ZIP file and select it.

7. Wait for it to finish.

8. Wipe data and cache (optional but HIGHLY recommended for stock ROM users and REQUIRED for non-stock ROM users)

9. Reboot and have fun.

Reserved...just in case.
[Nexus S Android Development] jrocka01:
NEWBIE HERE. Just to be clear, my phone has to be rooted to do this, right?
[Nexus S Android Development] oldblue910:
Not necessarily. You just need to have ClockworkMod recovery installed. That is independent from having root.
[Nexus S Android Development] jrocka01:
Isn't that related to ROM Manager? ROM Manager is saying my phone has to be rooted to use it.
[Nexus S Android Development] oldblue910:
Again, it can be. Or you can unlock your bootloader (you can find threads on how to do that, it's very simple) and then flash clockworkmod manually. Basically, you need ClockworkMod in order to root, but the two are not synonymous.
[Nexus S Android Development] jrocka01:
Problem. Unlocking the bootloader deletes USB storage. Kinda don't want that. Not being able to access my USB data is the reason I'm here in the first place. I know there's software to back up internal storage but what about SD storage? Of course on this phone there's no SD card to remove.
[Nexus S Android Development] oldblue910:
I would just plug the phone into your computer via USB and copy everything to your computer, then once you unlock the bootloader, copy it back. That'll take care of your USB storage.
[Nexus S Android Development] jrocka01:
Like I said I lost USB connectivity, from the manual 2.3.4 install, which is why I'm trying to go back to an older version in the first place. No SD card on the NS. Do you know of another way?
[Nexus S Android Development] searius:
try to install a program named websharing.

and you will be able to ftp your phone with you pc.

after that will be easy to transfer your SD data to your PC. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] jrocka01:
That sounds like a great idea. After I back them up I don't care if the SD gets wiped. Thanks for that.

works in a device with android and usb host.

will be nice if i could connect any cellphone to a lcd tv or connect a tablet to two monitors.
[General Accessories] caffeinated chris:
This depends solely on which phone you have.

Also try going to xdaforums.com and scroll down to your particular phone and search thier general forum for it, mainly because chances are someone already has asked or talked about this :)
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
I don't think any Android phone will support USB to Video adapters. Some android phones have hdmi or video out capabilities. But those types of USB to Video adapters need special drivers which I don't believe are available for Android OS.
[General Accessories] leomg:
I think that too, but there are drivers for linux and then android should make it work. I was just wondering if anyone tried.
[General Accessories] leomg:
here i found a list of the devices that are compatible with displaylink:

w w w.displaylink.com/shop/index.php?product=5

and in "download driver" are drivers for linux.

someone know if the driver for linux works for android ??

Pd: If a linux based router can: w w w.engadget.com/2009/05/18/displaylink-for-linux-turns-a-humble-wireless-router-into-a-beau/

why android cellphone or tablet cant.

also i found an app ($1,99) that allow to convert ipad screen into a new display for a computer through wireless, is there some app like that for android??
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
Android runs on top of a modified linux kernel, but it's not a true linux distro, so it can't run linux apps or drivers. Something would have to be written special. Maybe if you can run ubuntu off your device, you may be able to do something. What device do you have that has USB host?

Also, if its not USB 2, you may not have enough speeds to transfer. I think sending video output through usb would take a lot of processing power, which it may not be worthwhile with a phone.

What device do you have and exactly what are you trying to do... If I knew what you're trying to do, I might be able to help. I'm good with stuff like that.

You could maybe just get a DLNA adapter and wireless send video to a monitor or TV, instead. I'm not sure what you are exactly trying to get accompliched. give more details.
[General Accessories] leomg:
I bought a SmartQ t10, that still doesnt arrive, I bought it for the screen and battery, then i saw this adapter, so im seeing if can get video out.

I found a mailing list where a guy with a motorola droid (who managed to switch to USB host mode) trying to do this.

w w w.mailinglistarchive.com/html/android-kernel@googlegroups.com/2010-07/msg00073.html

according to what I understood you should enable the auxiliary output video and change the driver to operate with mobile device processor.

DisplayLink for android (latested version)
How to build displaylink driver for android

Displaylink is asic vender for USB-DISPLAY converter. It's is little slow, but expand your gadet example for android based equipment. So I modified the displaylink driver called udlfb for android.

How to build
- prepare android source code. I checked on beagleboard and android2.0
- extract and replace files with framework-core.tgz under framegework/base
- extract and replace files with kernel.tgz under kernel
- rebuild kernel and android

Description of tar archives
- framework-core.tgz
Import mouse and touch features support from android-x86 project . This is depend on android2.0 eclair
Touch features is following as:
Touch the right corner on and off touch feature.
[HOME] Touch the status bar
[MENU] Touch the status bar from left to right
[BACK] Touch status bat from right to left

- kernel.tgz
udlfb driver for android. Original udlfb driver source code is in latest linux driver/stagine/udlfb
Add double size frame buffer for pan_display
Add pan_display function
Make maximu resolution 1024x768. Original code support much more high resolution, but It cause crash under memory allocation.

Contents of tar archives
framework-core.tgz
==============================
Import usefule function from android-x86
core/java/android/view/RawInputEvent.java
include/ui/EventHub.h
libs/ui/EventHub.cpp
services/java/com/android/server/InputDevice.java
services/java/com/android/server/KeyInputQueue.java
services/java/com/android/server/WindowManagerService.java
services/java/com/android/server/status/StatusBarView.java
services/java/com/android/server/status/TouchFeature.java

kernel.tgz
==============================
touchscreeen driver depend my equipment.
drivers/input/touchscreen/Kconfig
drivers/input/touchscreen/usbtouchscreen.c

DisplayLink driver for android
drivers/video/Kconfig ->add configuration
drivers/video/Makefile ->add udlfb/Makefile
dotconfig -> .config example
drivers/video/udlfb/ -> driver

this will work??
[General Accessories] Ghaztehschmexeh:
If your phone does not have USB host mode you can modify your kernel to support it. Then it's a case of getting drivers, which may or may not be difficult.
[General Accessories] leomg:
Yes, i found that too, usb host for nexus one: sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

i guess that work for any device.

but I'm interested in that first run the driver already having a device with USB host, because is there more research about getting usb host or usb otg

I've been researching the same kind of thing. I have an android head unit that I want to show everything I see on my roof screen but so far no luck. I have tried UBS to RCA and UBS to VGA adaptors but so far no luck. I even thought maybe something like android to android screen share like 'say' mobile-phone to android-tv-box and connect the tv-box in the car and share my Android head-unit to the tv-box but I can't find an app that works with doing that either.

Is there any easy PC app(exe) that i can use to easily flash ROMS to my phone and stuff like that? Like just a "Flash ROM to Phone" button or something... or an easy to use app. One that is compatible with the LG optimus one.

I am not able flash ROMS and stuff, I tried like 100 times and I never succeed. I read all the tutorials and stuff but i never succeed in flashing anything.

I have a rooted LG Optimus one. Nothing flashed on it or recovery's and stuff like that..

I saw one somewhere but i cant find it anymore.... And it did not work on my phone.. Please tell me if there is one that I can use?

Or at least any super super easy way..

I am to afraid to brick my phone..:( I bricked mine at least 4 times and had to take it to shop.. Wish I could just take it somewhere and pay someone to do it.. I have however put different firmware on my phone(V10A) using KDZ...

Is there perhaps someway that n person can make a rom into a kdz file so that I can use KDZ to put a ROM on my phone..

[Fascinate Accessories] MJMcMahon:
Hi all -

when I bought my Fascinate, I got the VZW holster/case combo. Unfortunately, I've gone through 3 of them because the belt clip breaks. The last time I went into the VZW store, they said they wouldn't do another replacement, so I'm looking for a good replacement. Suggestions?
[Fascinate Accessories] minho422:
Never buy anything from verizon but phones...there are a lot of solid holsters from official Samsung accessories, so look for the model you like, and go search for the same but cheaper one on Amazon or eBay.
[Fascinate Accessories] MJMcMahon:
NOW he tells me! ;)

no luck on Samsung's site....what's the general consensus about Seidio or OtterBox? Are they THAT much more robust than the competitor products? Specifically, how solid are the belt clips? I don't mind spending $50 once, but having the thing break after 2-3 months is a no-go!

Thanks Nunyazz....any comment on the questions I posed?
[Fascinate Accessories] nunyazz:
I've had that holster since they began offering it. It fits very snug and is very slim fitting. Fits very close to your side and rotates if needed. I love it. I had the "naked" holsters from them for the past 4 or 5 phones that I've owned.
[Fascinate Accessories] MJMcMahon:
Picked up a Seidio from Best Buy on Friday...we'll see how it holds up!

Thanks for the feedback guys

[Fascinate Accessories] streebs87:
I bought mine from Amazon. Very nice and sturdy, and only cost me $8. The brand escapes my mind right now, but just search Fascinate Holster and it's like the first or second one on the list.
[Fascinate Accessories] S_Gibson:
I've purchased 4 of these for the 4 Fascinates my family and I have. They are great and we have no complaints. My son it pretty rough on his stuff and it has held up thus far. We got them in November.

I find it easy to slide thee phone in and out of, and it give the phone a bit more bulk and texture.

Look up the "Superior OEM for Samsung i500 Fascinate Shell Holster Combo Pack" on Amazon. This forum will not let me post a link for some reason. They are less than $10.
[Fascinate Accessories] streebs87:
That's the one I have. I've had it for a few months now and I love it. Couldn't stand putting my phone in my pocket, I had to have the holster.
[Fascinate Accessories] jabberjaw:
Had the OEM one for a year now and just a about 2 months ago busted the clip off, but i can still snap it back together, which has gotten be this far but the silly thing keep snapping off at the slightest touch...

will have to try out that naked carrier next

tried a little while carrying the phone in my pocket, fits nicely into the carpenter pants slot on the right leg side, but not so nice in any other pocket

I use a Comp-Tac M-TAC holster for my daily carry... oh wait, you mean phone?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnlcp:
Hi guys,

I have this strange problem with any rom I tried until now (sense roms, or cm7 stable).

I have flashplayer on any browser set on demand and when I activate it to watch a video or a flash content the light of my soft touch keys turns off.

Even after switching my display off the problem persists.

Even after one or two reboots the problem persists. after maybe the third reboot the keys turn on..

Does somebody know why? I think it's not a hardware problem.. what could happend? Is my N1 bugged?

Thank u all..

[Xoom General] DroidHam:
Has anyone considered this?

I have AT&T and was wondering if it would be better to get a 2 year 4g hotspot from like Sprint (is it unlimited) and I could use it at home and take it with me to use on my xoom etc?
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
It's unlimited, but 4G on sprint doesn't do so hot indoors. Walls block 2.5ghz spectrum.

Also, it looks pretty likely that sprint will start to tier data levels soon.
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
I keep seeing the Mifi 4g hotspots available for like $300 with no contract. How does service work? Do you still need to activate it and pay the $50 a month with Verizon?
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
I guess it may be cheaper to pay the $$ and get a thunderbolt out of contract and use the 4G on that instead rather than the $300 for the mifi wifi hotspot huh
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Why not wait till the Xoom has 4G and use it as a hotspot, unless you got the WIFI because you thought 4G would be useless!:confused:
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
I got the Wifi because it was $200 cheaper and didnt want to pay for another data plan
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
QFT

10 char.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
I bought the 4g version and saved $200 by getting a $20 a month data plan (which I use about 750MB of). I will not have to upgrade my phone to 4g for tethering and spend another $200. I can also talk and surf the web/navigate at the same time, that statement sounds familiar!

It's about a wash depending on your needs.
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
Whats the point of 4g if your using 750mb?
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
It's all about speed not volume for me. I would not necessarily use more data because it's faster I would just get those tasks done quicker.

Now if I used as a hotspot I would needs a bigger plan.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
As others have said, the Sprint 4G MiFi doesn't do well inside. The high mhz spectrum doesn't do well to penetrate walls. You very rarely get full bars inside in my experience.

It sounds good to try and use a 4G hotspot for your home internet, but once you start spreading out a single WiMax signal (less than 10mbps down,

capped

1mbps up) to several people and/or devices, you're not going to be as comfortable as you would be with home cable internet.

Now, LTE might be another situation because the speeds are much higher than WiMax and it penetrates buildings better, but still you're relying on a wireless signal to come down and then be spread back out to the devices.

For people like me who play games, I don't see myself cutting the cable internet any time soon. Not to mention that I regularly use 75gb+ of internet every month. Don't think theres a single carrier (even Sprint) that would be okay with this.
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
Verizon is a big bag of irony when it comes to LTE and pricing.

They're promising fast speeds, which for most people means streaming video and audio, but their pricing is too expensive to do much media streaming.

If I had deep pockets, Verizon LTE as a mobile hotspot would be great. Sadly, I don't have deep pockets. I think Clear/Sprint are currently the best options at the moment.

I'm not sure if I'm even going to upgrade to LTE. 3G seems to do alright, and I'm worried that LTE will be a battery suck. Battery is more important to me than speed.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
LTE (and other 4G tech) is very much so a battery hog. There's no way that you can have that big jump in bandwidth and connection without affecting battery life until they expand the technology more (remember, the move from 2G to 3G was met with the same concerns).

I think anyone using an Evo 4G or Thunderbolt will quickly tell you how much WiMax or LTE is killing their battery.
[Xoom General] marctronixx:
ive got the mifi 3g/4g gadget and 4G and 3G work wonderfully inside the house in my experience. also ive tried it inside the company building and 4G works well.. it does help im in a major 4G city.. but the 4G works quite well indoors. it has about a 28-32 foot range so you could sit it near an external wall facing 4g coverage and be set.

i have used the novatel with a laptop, xoom, first gen ipod touch. definitely a good option. there is also the overdrive pro which has 4G verizon and att have the same mifi box also..

the key here is to make sure your primary location has ample supply of 4G and your set for unlimited. again the spees ive seen are quite nice.
[Xoom General] pyrator:
and this is why people are introducing caps....

However, if you can stay under the cap....

FLAME ON!
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Specifically Sprints 4G WiMax doesn't do well indoors, because of the specific spectrum it uses. Verizon, ATT, and Tmo use different tech and spectrum that has better building penetration...haha...i said penetration. But if you got it to work, cool. :cool:
