the resi evil was ECM file

and ive only installed fpse do i need to install anything else on the phone to get the roms to work ?

its brand new xperia play with nothing on it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Do you have a bios? You can play fpse without one but you cannot save your progress
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kenf2210:
hi,how do i check this ? and ive loaded gran turismo rom and it worked but it came up i need to load scph1001.bin is recommended how do i do that ?

and thanks for your help & i think im getting closer to cracking this
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Google psx bios :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FrAsErTaG:
You will also need "ecm tools" and with that you run unecm on your pirated game
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kenf2210:
so i download scph1001.bin & where do i put the file & ecm tools ?what do i do with that and put that where & is on androic market ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] killswitchmad:
You will need to download ECM tools from the net to your computer then drag the Desk Evil ECM over the unecm.exe application, it will convert it to a .iso,.bin or .cue put this file in your phones Games folder.

To do the good put scph1001.bin into your games folder, fire up fpse press your phones menu button and select Settings>System>Load Bios. Find your scph file and select it then in system then of HLE mode and finally select Save default setting. You should then be good to go :-)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kenf2210:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiasottis:
Hi,

I find the fact that the buttons under the screen keep lit until you turn the screen off annoying. I often use the tab in the dark and even if you cover them up some of their light "contaminates" the bottom area of the screen, especially with dark images.

Is there any known way to get them working back as they did on Froyo? Maybe if someone could extract the old Froyo backlight driver I could try it on my tab...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoss_n2:
i want that too
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
I think its a great feature, especially for using in the dark as I often pressed wrong button accidentally. However I do think there should be some sort of setting to adjust when its on all the time and when its not etc.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Try an app called blinker I think from the market.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiasottis:
Well, thank you very much! I downloaded BlinkerTab from the market and was able to turn the buttons backlight off.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssserpentine:
OMG!

Thank you so much! I hated those lights so much I was gonna return to 2.2.1

No I dont have to.

Go to market

Download blinkertab for free

Turn those hatefull lights off

Enjoy a book or movie in the dark.

I installed the ALTERNATE LOCKSCREEN FROM BAMF STRIPPED and only see it when someone calls me. My 'asleep' Lock screen is the same as the stock from Das Bamf 1.6.3

Also, I loaded the Blackout MMS and noticed that when it force closes a couple of times a day and always force closes when I am in a SMS and tap the Contacts phone # next their name to call them from within their text message.

Anybody else have both these issues?

Thank you for all your Time Gentlemen!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g0ldt00thgr1n:
Yeah, I had the same issue. I eventually sucked it up and had to resort to long pressing the message to Add To Contacts or any other function.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Marvout:
I'm trying to connect a Motorola Bluetooth keyboard to my Galaxy Tab (Rogers, Rooted) The tab sees the keyboard but doesn't pair. When I click the 'pair with this device' button on the Tab I get a screen that says "Enter PIN "1234456" to pair with Motorola Bluetooth Wireless keyboard." The digits are always different every time I press the button and typing those numbers into the keyboard, doesn't pair the two devices.

I've managed to get Kies to connect my device, but it says the device is not updateable. So, I don't see any options for updating to a newer version through that way.

What do I need to do to get my Tab to pair with this keyboard?

Update to 2.3.3 overcome, I use a Plantronics BT Headset, and of all things an Apple BT Keyboard. works great.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] bloodredshoes:
I had a similar issue with my Tomtop bt keyboard, but figured it out. If the motorola keyboard has an FN key, hold down the FN key while typing the numbers and while still holding down the FN key, press the ENTER key. Hopefully this works for you

[Blade General] opc100:
So, I converted my Blade from gen 1 to gen 2, and now it will only ever boot into recovery. I have an update.zip on my sd card that I am trying to apply, but it just hangs on the same screen.

Is there anything I can do?

edit: I managed to run the update.zip (I used the stock orange ROM) but now it's just hanging on the green android.

edit2: Another update, now I can't access clockwork recovery at all.

edit3: Yep, another update. Through the method outlined here I managed to get it back to recovery. I tried to install Swedish Springs but it still boots into ClockworkMod Recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarovarc@gmail.com:
Hi,

I have a few questions about Custom ROMs:

1. I have a basic idea about custom ROMs, but what why are there different Kernels for the same hardware? And is one better than the other? What makes a certain Kernel, better? As I understand with custom ROMs, you don't really have a choice in choosing the kernel you run, because each ROM is built on a specific kernel - am I correct about this?

2. I am looking to put a gingerbread 2.3 ROM on my Samsung Captivate, and I am looking for a ROM which is minimalistic Android and doesn't come with, shall we say 'bloatware' - for the lack of a better word. Of course, I would be looking for something stable and optimized for performance. Any recommendations?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
1) Different kernals do offer different features. But they are swapable. That is why the kernals are available in seperate threads in the dev section. The biggest feature that is kernal dependent is overclocking. I have never been a fan of overclocking, don't think its needed on this phone. I also have never had good luck flashing different kernals. Whenever I have tried that the ROM runs buggy, freezes, lots of FCs. While you can change the kernal at any time, I have always found best performance with the kenal the dev chose to include with their ROM. I'm sure there are a hundred people here that would disagree with that. Just like ROM choice it's a personal decision.

2)ALL the ROMs here 2.2 or 2.3 will be de-bloated. I have tried all the 2.3 ROMs, and the only thing that is consistent with them is their unstableness. I can't get more than 2 hours of use without a freeze that needs a reboot, or it rebooting on it's own. The only reason I a sticking with a 2.3 ROM is Netflix. The app works on the 2.3 ROMs, but I cannot get it to work on 2.2. If you want something stable and optimized for performance: stay on FroYo. I recommend FireFly. If you want to take the plunge to 2.3 (after you have read EVERY GB sticky twice, paying attention to the bootloader info, or you'll have an expensive paperweight) I recommend GR, Perception II, or Mosaic. Mosaic was the most stable for me, but runs the same touchwiz as froyo, so it just feels like buggy froyo. The other two run touchwiz 4 from the SGS II.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I have to respectfully disagree with quarlow. He is right about the the kernel swapping, and whatever kernel that comes with the ROM is gonna work and work well. The thing that distinguishes different kernels from one another is again the ability to OC and there is also BLN features and UV capabilities, so it is all user preference. HOWEVER it is the same as flashing a ROM. I have NEVER had an issue or seen a ROM get freezes or FC's because of flashing a different kernel. Not unless your are OC'ing. But it could just be my luck too:rolleyes: (with the exception of the trident kernel which came OC'd to 1.4ghz, which was silly because if your phone can't handle that, it won't boot.. luckily mine can;))

As far as the 2.3 ROMs go, again I have to disagree. I have been running CM7 for weeks without a single issue. As a matter of fact it keeps getting better. I'm not gonna talk up CM7 but I will say if that other user cannot get more than 2 hours without a freeze or having to reboot, then he is doing something wrong.:eek: I have tried Perception (beta2), and C5 RC3.. both are nice. Especially if you want a samsung ROM with all the features you are used to. CM7 is completely different built from AOSP. IMO, they are all really stable to use on a daily basis. Again, if my phone was freezing or needing a reboot every couple hours i would NOT be telling you they are stable.

All the 2.2 ROMs are sweet.. all user preference. Like the quarlow said, make sure you read the OP and re-read the instructions. Bootloaders are something you don't want to F up:rolleyes: But, CM7 just got easier, and you don't have to flash any i9000 bootloaders.

Just my 2cents:)

...no offense quarlow:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
I take no offense, that's why I said there are probably a hundred people that will disagree with me ... the kernel game is not a game I enjoy. I have never had trouble until I had a ROM with OC enabled, and got the sleeping death, flashed a different kernel, and got freezes, general buggyness, and FCs. I ended up downgrading to the older non-oc version to avoid the sleep death, and had no problems. I have only flashed a kernel a few times before that, and because of that experience none since. Maybe my experience was a fluke ...

I have never tried CM7 because the last time I looked at the installation instructions I didn't feel I understood them well enough ... because of how different it was to the FroYo ROMs of the time (Recovery then install ... 2 steps). Looking at it now, it's not nearly as unusual after all the i9000 GB ROMs. I really have had bad stability with the i9000 GB ROMs. Not that it freezes every two hours, but after two hours of constant use it freezes, and needs a reboot, or every once in a while while listening to music the music stops and I look at my phone to see it have rebooted for no reason. All of the i9000 GB ROMs I have tried did this (some worse than others): Perception, Continuum, GR, Mosaic, Symply, subpression, etc. I've gone back to Stock eclair with a Master Clear, wiped the various caches, nothing I do seems to fix this. I have attributed it to the Beta tag that is still attached to most of the ROMs. Maybe this weekend I'll give CM7 a try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yeah, i guess now that i look back on C5, there was some lagginess to it- but having the samsung cameras back were a bonus:D CM7's install is now done from froyo ROMs.. Much easier than the Odin stuff before. Don't even need a computer now:p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Quarlow ... I think you got a lemon..

If everything was as buggy as you make it out to be I don't think the captivate would have as much dev support as it does. Or as many flashers, If all of us are running fine on our phones and you are the only one with these huge issues that I've never even heard of (force closing from swapping out a kernel) maybe your phone has got a less than adequate component in there, inconsistent builds are a very real thing and looks like yours sucks...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
How do I fix that? Go to att with "Bad GPS"? My GPS has been fine. I have a build 1006, had this on hold for me the day they released. Never had shutdown issue except that OC kernel I tried. My warranty is going to be up in a month, think I should try to swap before that runs out?

Sent from my Captivate running GR-12
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
I'd say so ... I have never had the issues you have. I have run every rom with every kernel, never once caused a force close and all the gb roms I've been on have been pretty stable 2 days without even charging let alone reboot.

Does your phone actually have ****ty gps cause if you use that excuse you're gonna have to prove it ... if however your phone for some "strange reason" doesn't boot at all you could use the "i was using kies and it never came on" excuse....

But if you have bad gps while on stock that should be enough to swap it out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
My GPS has always been fine. Longer time to get a lock than my iPhone before, but with 15 seconds it always gets a lock. Would I be better to go with random shutdown?

Warning: The following information may sound stupid, when in fact it has helped me and many others so please do not post 'x does not work' as it not everything will work for everyone- this program is a guessing game.

DL Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L9ES7D5I

Flashing Issues

-Try renaming the file you are attempting to flash in windows explorer, then change it to that in RSD lite

-Plug your phone into a different USB port, or different USB controller (eg front panel or back panel on PC)

-Move the .sbf file you are attempting to flash to the root( eg C:\ , D:\ ) of your harddrive, if this does not work try moving it to a different folder that has full user and admin access(r/w)

-Disable UAC(user access control) on vista/7 and reboot your pc (You may enable it again once you are done)

-Re Download the sbf you wish to flash

-Delete some letters from the sbf file

-Open RSD before plugging phone in(or opposite)

-Choose Sbf before plugging phone in(or opposite)

-Reinstall software drivers and reboot pc

ClockWorkMod Recovery

v3.0.2.8

-To enable SOFTWARE '+++Go Back+++' button, press both volume keys at the same time and a message saying "Back menu button enabled." will appear-- you will have to repeat this every time as it does not store the option.

NOTE: 'Soft Key' means the 4 buttons at the bottom of the phone if you are unaware of that, as opposed to a 'Hard Key' (volume and power buttons) or a software button which requires use of the touchscreen, or for boot menu's use of the volume and power keys

Hope you can find some use from this guide, and if you have any tips feel free to post them and I will add them to the list :)

P.S; I have written this as basically as I could so anyone (new android owners, the technologically challegened, ESL people) could understand and benefit from it, please do not feel offended :p

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
Ok recently i flashed my friends sgs i9000 to stock uk eclair. But she wants to use skype so i got it came home plugged into kies to upgrade to jpy froyo. However Kies say "enjoy your gingerbread update" update twice eclair-froyo, froyo-gingeread

So i updated to jpy. But when i tried updating again it says that this is the latest version.....wth....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
JPY is the latest UK rom at the moment. There is no gingerbread for the UK, yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DMD9:
Stick with JPY if she wants to use Skype, there's a thread on here about the Gingerbread battery drain and Skype was mentioned as one of the possible culprits (just by having it installed). Not sure it's been proven but if Skype's a must have for her then it would be worth looking into before upgrading. Had a quick look for the thread but couldn't find it, haven't time to look properly. I'm on Gingerbread and I like it but I had JPY with the voodoo speedmod kernel and loved it. If she's not into modding the phone stick with JPY and voodoo.

Kies is an unpredictable piece of crap anyway :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
Hmmm that is strange...why on earth did it say that then????

Has this happened to anyone else?

Kies and phone all untouched. U.K stock.

Its been quite some time since jvh or w.e came out for nordic regions, how not for U.K???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DMD9:
Yep it's happened to me in the past and I'll bet if you do a search here you'll find plenty of others it's happened to. Nothing wrong with your phone, it's just Kies, it's crap lol.

Don't think we'll see JVH for UK (XEU I think),for a while yet.
[Defy General] RuDe..:
My friend was trying to flash Pay's ROM, on his MD525 Deblur.

He rooted it correctly, he then made a backup using system recovery, then he flashed it to 3.4.2-164 Motorola SBF with RSD Lite in bootloader mode..

After that he Re-rooted it again with SuperOneClickRoot.

Then he installed 2ndInit recovery installer.

When he was trying to flash the ROM.zip.. It showed an error, because 2ndInit 1.6 doesnt support Pay's rom.

He then tried to restore using system recovery.. the restore was successful. but when he rebooted, it is stuck at the red motorola logo and aftter 30secs it reboots again. and the process continues... So is it bricked?

I think he can now install the Nordic 3.4.2-177 and use cyanogen mod on it..

That can unbrick his phone right?

PS: Sorry for my bad english!
[Defy General] JackSparrow17:
Wipe data in stock recovery, and than reboot and flash SBF via RSD...:D
[Defy General] RuDe..:
How to wipe data in stock recovery?

Anyways.. he flashed the sbf and he is now installing cyanogen..

I heard that the battery drains fast with cyanogen rom is it true?

If it is.. then which ROM he should opt to?
[Defy General] JackSparrow17:
In Beta 5.1 battery drain problem was there, but in Beta 6 peoples say its solved....And i m using MiUi.:)
[Defy General] Zach21:
To get into stock recovery:

Turn off the phone

Press the down volume button together with the on button.

When the phone turns on, and you get a droid image, touch the bottom right corner of the screen. If nothing happens, press the up and down volume buttons together.

This will get you into stock recovery. It has wipe data menus.
[Defy General] RuDe..:
Any noticeable differences between CM7 and MiUi?

Thanks for the Reply.

His phone sbf version was 2.59 eclair.. he directly flashed it to 3.4.2-164.

He lost the downgrade ability right? Or else can he still downgrade?
[Defy General] RuDe..:
After successfully installing cm7, he made a backup using system recovery..

Now again the phones is stuck at the red motorola logo.. its stuck frm around 30 mins..

he also tried removing battery and rebooting but non working..
[Defy General] JackSparrow17:
-Download 2ndInt Recovery Installer from Market or from Xda

-start the app, click install, wait for the led to turn green, disable usb debugging in the settings and reboot 2 times.

download CyanogenMod7 and put it on sdcard

- wait for the blue Led and then press "Volume down"

- "[Open Recovery] start."

- wipe "data/factory reset"

- "install zip from sdcard" ->- "choose zip from sdcard"

- reboot

- wait for blue led "Volume down" and then choose boot "[2ND-INIT] boot"

- done

But pls read my post again.. After successfully installing cyanogen mod 7..

He thought to made a backup, and after successful backup using system recovery.. after the reboot the phone was stuck.

Now he flashed it again to 3.4.1-177 sbf.. it completed successfully, but still it is stuck at android logo now.. What should he do?
[Defy General] JackSparrow17:
After installing CM7 did choose [2ND-INIT] boot...?
