hi

hello, I have a GT I5500 runing MDA v2.3 R3. I liked it. I'm brazilian and would like to contribute to translating pt-br, but I have no idea how to do ... :D

By the way, I noticed that the wifi when idle too, tends to stop working. Has been deactivate and reactivate the solution.

thanks in advance..........

can i put or install theme on the last firmware
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
not sure about changing theme, but you could edit all of the individual images yourself to create your own theme. that takes ages.

Try that rom, its newer and also supports themes

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
just flash it using the individual files if you have them, its just as easy
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] culkaran:
What about the efs one??? It does not contain the efs file??!!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
That would be because you don't need it, leave that box blank
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] oksigen:
Is ther any technical constraints or reason why the French Canadian language (fr-ca) is not part of the latest Mad Rom for the i5500 ? How can I communicate this request to the Mad team ?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Marinake:
I will flash it next week...now I use CyanogeMod 7...this is graeat but Bluetooth have issues...Cannot send something...i can just get

i m flashing my G5 for the first time ... i want to flash this ROM ... but Odin doesnt detect my phone ... can u please help me?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Marinake:
1.Connect the phone to PC with the USB cable

2.Go in Settings>Applications>Development>Select USB Debbuging

3.Voila...now flash the rom
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] ThinksAmoral:
You have to put your phone into download mode:

- Turn your phone off and remove the battery for 10-15 seconds

- Put your battery back into the phone and hold the following buttons

- Volume Down
- Center Button
- Power Button

Hold them for five seconds, then the 'downloading' screen will appear. Plug your phone into your computer, let the drivers install if they haven't already, then Odin will detect your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Marinake:
I flashed this ROM.I think CyanogenMod is better but we really must have a Froyo ROM.Great work guyz ;)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] brainvision:
What about battery, please? I would like to try it but I need a ROM with more autonomy then CM7..

Another question: what version to install? Someone suggests me the v2.0.9, why this one and not the last?

Thanks..

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#featured-products

Here it is, corning gorilla glass has the G2 as a device listed with gorilla glass, I though it didn't have gorilla glass but it says on the website that it does!
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
It also says the G1 has it but I think maybe the newer G1s do not the G1s upon release date.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shady503403:
yes.. yes it does. took the screen cover off my phone. for a few weeks now. so scratched. although my sisters mt4g has one scratch on it.. but who knows what its from.

and another friend has a mt3g and has no scratches.. its what gave me the confidence to take my screen protector off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Feel a vibrant/galaxy s screen and feel ours and tell me that we have gorilla glass. If we really truly do, then we got the crap **** version of it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:

Yeah, we know. Its been discussed thoroughly, with the Corning page linked over a month ago (post 22 of the following thread):

[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Ya I can also attest that I have yet to get a scratch either regardless of what type it is. Good stuff.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MacaronyMax:
Haven't even been to the beach with my phone but it has been scratched by sand... Like 1 grain... Just a warning, Leave it away from Sand :p

I don't have Gorrila
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
You dont have gorilla? What does that mean, yours is the only phone that doesn't? Or none of ours do? Lmfao can't decode your sentence there...
[G2 and Desire Z General] shady503403:
Everyphone has it. But I'm sure some grains of minerals found in sand can scratch the screen.. maybe he found a really small diamond and that one grain scratched his screen. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] itsnoahyo:
the gorilla glass they use for sunrooms and stuff can be hit with a hammer and not break. my sisters boyfriend threw his g2 and shattered his screen and my sister dropped hers and now theres a crack going across the screen about 2/3 of the way down. i never got around to buying any screen protectors for mine but there are only one or two very minor scratches on the screen itself. i was hoping gorilla glass would mean the screen would be a lot harder to break, but apparently thats not the case.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Lmao, wow I though it would be stronger, but I didn't know yu could hit gorilla glass with a hammer and not break it
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
How do you know every phone (I assume you mean "every G2") has Gorilla Glass? Just because Corning lists the G2 on their website as having GG does not guarantee that every G2 has it. HTC is free to switch materials whenever they want. In fact, they probably reserve the right to change whatever specs of the phone they want, without notice (if they even listed GG in the specs, which they do not). But you are probably right in that many high-end smartphones are using GG these days, so HTC is pretty likely to stick with it for all the G2's.

If you read the older Gorilla Glass thread I posted above, you will see there are other users that scratched the screen with normal use. GG is advertised as being "highly damage resistant", and its harder to scratch than "conventional" glass, but you can still scratch it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I believe that GG was originally developed for helicopter windshields. But the thickness of those and the other uses (like you mentioned) are probably a lot thicker than the type used for smartphones. The GG surface treatment greatly increases the toughness of the glass, but its thickness will still be a factor. There were reports of iPhone 4 GG breaking the first week the phone was released, just from being dropped. While GG is pretty impressive, you can't take for granted its not going to break.
[G2 and Desire Z General] itsnoahyo:
Yeah that's true. I've been pretty lucky so far with phone screens so far. And I probably shouldn't have said/typed that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I think your post is a good one to have on here. Its good to know that some people have scratched or cracked the screen under fairly normal usage (well, maybe not the sisters BF throwing it!). Some people seem to think Gorilla Glass is indestructible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] htc fan89:
It say's desire has gorilla glass, and I some how managed to get a deep scratch on the it which went through the lcd display.....It might vary with htc devices
[G2 and Desire Z General] LikeaG2root:
I left my G2 on the roof of my car(dont ask) and drove away. Was going around a curve at around 30 mph and it fell off. I had the hard rubber cover on it. Phone had absolutely no damage. The rubber cover flew off along with battery cover and phone was laying with screen down but no damage. I have owned my G2 since it came out. I have never used a screen protector and have zero scratches.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Lmao that's hilarious right there lmaooo
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
Regardless of scratches, without something like a Zagg cover, the screen on this thing smudges like crazy! I've got one just for that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
That doesn't mean its not Gorilla Glass. GG is meant to be more scratch and crack resistant, but I think people are overestimating its durability and taking for granted that it is somehow crack or scratch proof (which is impossible).
[G2 and Desire Z General] C.Flat:
Yes, I have had mine since December and there is only a single tiny surface scratch that is only visible if I look for it in the right light
[G2 and Desire Z General] stumpyz9:
I think it might actually have it. Earlier today I accidentally got my g2 pushed up agianst a wall where it got like 3 deep scratches across the screen. Luckilly I had a 20 cent screen protector on it. I took it off and not 1 little scratch on the screen but it completley ripped through the screen protector. So either it has gorilla glass or I'm really lucky.
[G2 and Desire Z General] brfield:
To the people talking about hitting gorilla glass with a hammer: that technology is old. It is called tempered glass. It is what is used in car windows, and office buildings. Hit it with a hammer, nothing happens, hit the edge of it with a hammer, it breaks into a million square pieces. You may also know it as safety glass. That is esentially what gorila glass is, with a little something extra in it for extra scratch resistance.

Want to test it? Take a hammer, hit some tempered glass on the flat side. Then take a spark plug and tap it to the glass, anywhere, the window will more-or-less explode into ity bitty pieces. The spark plug has a fine point that resonates with the glass, causing thiss to happen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
Lmaoooo, nice explanation, I did not know that thnx, but definately won't try that hammer thing with my phone lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] DurbanPoison24:
Have had my G2 since December and the screen looks as new. Many times have I thrown my phone in my pocket with change and my keys in it(accidently.lol) and still perfect. Regardless of what material it is it defenitely holds up great.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
I guess we really do have the "crap ****" version of it. I haven't had a screen protector on mine and my G2 is all scratched up. Everywhere.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
LMFAO. We honestly do though (if we really do). There is no comparison when you put them side by side to a phone that is KNOWN to have gorilla glass. They feel and look completely different.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DavidMc0:
I don't think the feel of the screen is a good indicator - GG won't feel that different to any other glass.

The difference in feel is due to oleophobic, or other coating on some screens.

If there's no coating, then your finger won't glide accross the surface as nicely, but the plus side is that these coatings are often easier to scratch, making the screen look scratched even if the glass is completely intact.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
A-ha! Never knew that. Explains a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] OoTLink:
Haha, I guess if you want an oleophobic-ish coating you could just put some car sealant on your screen. Hrmm.. yea. :)

One thing I don't understand is my screen has a scratch on it. I don't even KNOW HOW, I've never put it in my pocket with keys, never dropped it, never rubbed it against anything unless I was cleaning it. WTF?
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
Perhaps a grit of sand on your cleaning-cloth?

One thing I noticed on my phone are a series of very short, perfectly vertical "scratches" that I can only see at a certain angle in a very bright light. I wonder if these are from the glass manufacturing process -- perhaps left by some machine on the assembly line.

Anyway, as long as the screen stays optically clear, I don't worry about little scratches. I did not have a screen protector on my phone for a while -- though I did recently put one on after my kids started asking for my phone to play Angry Birds :)

You can go into Google voice's web interface and under settings mark your phone as receiving texts. Then you'll have mms back. Trade off is you get two notifications per SMS(one from Google Voice and one from whatever you used for texts before).

Hey!

I'm pretty new to custom roms, and i'm not sure what is the best for me.

I want a clean rom, without tons of apps i'll never use. Just a simple, smooth, fast(as fast as it get's) Android rom.

Have look around in the dev section, but i'm not so in to custom roms yet, and a little afraid of bricking my phone!

Any suggestions?=)
[XPERIA X8 General] karthikb351:
Well, people seem to be torn between floyo v.20 and Elelinux v6a.

I've tested out both and they both are fully functional roms. Speed and smoothness is hard to differentiate.

I'd suggest you go for Floyo as it has LauncherPro Plus installed and a better theme.

But it's best if you try out both for a while and then decide.
[XPERIA X8 General] gothickah0:
Then you should try doinxh new gingerbread rom.clean rom with additional features.less crappy apps
[XPERIA X8 General] guelas:
my experience says that you should test all the roms that tou find interesting. It's the best way to know wich one is better for you.

Rom X could be the best for me but Y could be the best for you.

Just read all the instructions, and then prepare to try all the roms you like and choose your favorite.

Yes, it´s a very good rom. but i find that floyo0.20 is a bit faster. Adn it has following bug: yuu can´s set location in some apps, neither througt gps nore wifi nore mobile network.

kown bug is radio.apk is not not working, in floyo it is working fine.

i use floyo, but i have reboots when i switch from 3g to 2g on some locations (not on all, where 3g is avalible. But it seems, im allone with this bug :D On other roms i works.
[XPERIA X8 General] deoxx:
Thanks for the advice guys!=) I will test some roms out! Starting to get the hang on how custom roms work, how to install, and so on=) Think i will try out doinxh's custom first, then racht custom! As long i don't get ten tons of apps i don't need, and a rom that works smooth, then i'm satisfied^^

Btw, if you guys have more suggestions, bring it^^, Trying racht's floyo now, but having some trouble finding the custom rom in xRecovery=P tested Srom-2.3.3GingerbreadX8-V2 by stelios97&zousoum96, and found it in like 5 sec, but racht seems to be a little challenge=P

You can get this much hours of uptime with rachts Floyo too... just use Fast Reboot app (once a day) clen cache periodically (2 times a week is more than enough)

Intresting enough, performance didnt dropped at all..

P.S.: dont use Task Killers :D
[XPERIA X8 General] deoxx:
Tried froyobread, but it didn't support my language, and the EQ didn't work, so i moved on back at stock, and going to test Elelinux out next i think=) Will test out Froyobread out later, when it's near complete, and got what i want=)

[Thunderbolt General] agold2009:
As many of you are aware, the Thunderbolt offers USB Internet Connection mode. This allows you to connect your thunderbolt via USB to a PC and use the phones internet connection. This is similar to the WiFi tethering thats currently free for a limited time. Eventually Verizon will start charging for WiFi tethering, but I'm wondering if they have the ability to cut off (unless your pay) the Internet Connection mode once the promotion ends.

The difference I've noticed is that the WiFi tethering is an actual installed application (hence very easily controllable by VZW), whereas the Internet Connection mode is embedded into the operating system (evinced by the fact thats its in the menu options, as well as the option to change what type of connection you want when you plug the USB cable into your computer).

I think once the promotion ends for free WiFi tethering, the USB tethering will still work and remain free unless VZW pushes an update to non rooted phones preventing this?

I ask because I just switched from my Thunderbolt (very poor battery etc even when rooted) to a Droid Charge. I instantly noticed that when I check the settings for internet connection mode, its not 'integrated' in the same sense as the Thunderbolt. Instead, both the WiFi hotspot tethering, as well as USB tethering are in essence a 'third party' application, which upon being launched, present you with a message stating the ability to tether is free during the promotional period, and thereafter you will be charged for data usage.

Any input on this? It's a shame to see it completely changed on the Droid Charge.. Maybe Verizon missed out on the Thunderbolt and USB tethering will always be available for free? We shall see in the months to come.
[Thunderbolt General] Nooter:
I know the word of a VZW store associate isn't really worth anything, but, before I bought my ThunderBolt, I was told that wired tethering will go "under the radar", as long as the data usage "isn't too much". The rep directed me to download "PDANet" from Market for this functionality, and she didn't even know at the time that native wired tethering was present on the ThunderBolt.
[Thunderbolt General] thetwiztidfreak:
Also pdanet has been removed from the market though you can just download the apk from their site and install it now. Also I have not herd of anything with verizon but i know AT&T did send out a message to all the people that were using free teathering apps on thier iphones a text messages letteing them know they would be charged if continuing use. I guess Cell companys can tell if your using them some how.
[Thunderbolt General] Windst:
ATT never sent me a text and I dont have a tether plan. I am a heavy barnacle user at work, makes my 4gclear look like a joke. My gf just got a fascinate(galaxy s), and it seems verizons has native blocked-ish. i rooted my boss's captivate (galaxy s), and he has no tether plan, and he uses USB tether at work everyday. He didnt get a message either. But my GFs natives /ad hoc make her go to the verizon web site.

I'm worried now about using my barnacle. It should be someting like. 3g free, pay for 4g, something lame like that, rather than be phonenazis.
[Thunderbolt General] dbow32:
dumb question, how do you use the USB tethering?
[Thunderbolt General] bill.allrobots.org:
I doubt it has anything to do with app vs. built-in functionality... they can't "easily track it" just because it's an app. I think it would have to do with the way the packets are being routed, and I don't know *how* they're (supposedly) tracking it when you use wifi tethering, so I wouldn't be so sure they won't be able to track it via USB.

It could have to do with looking for packets for protocols that apps don't support (bittorrent?). I'm really not sure. Anybody know the details of how they can tell?
