I know this topic has been brought up in the past but curious if new roms have some sort of setup for this. I'm at work with virtually no 3G and no wifi. I want to passthrough my comp's internet connection to my phone via usb so that I can use data that way.

Setting up an ad-hoc wifi network is not an option. Anyway to configure my computer and/or phone to achieve this? I would also love to share the connection w/other coworkers through hotspot. Thanks.

Hello!

Everything is in the title!

I've dismantled my HTC Touch Pro II in order to change my broken LCD (but still functionning). I've changed the LCD panel

AND

the touchscreen stuck all together. But it seems not OK, as there's nothing on the screen, the touch panel doesn't respond. I know everything else is OK as I'm able to connect to my phone using MyMobiler...

First, I reassembled it, but the screens (LCD+touch panel) weren't responding, so I dismantled it again. Main board on my left, bezel+LCD+touch panel on my right...

Before assemblying it again, I'd like to know if the "rubber tape" with metal inside (used to fix flex cable ribbons) is absolutly needed for the screens to work or not?

I hope you'll have clues for me.:o

I have a ZTE Blade and want to flash a new rom. I have done it before but thistime I messed up. I was changing it to Gen 2 and once that was done I wiped the phone with the built in clockworkmod. I know I should have installed the clockwork mods that are provided by you guys. So when I try and flash with built in clockworkmod it says cannot find file intalation aborted. I tried to turn the phone on holding the up button and the android man stays on, which is right. But when I try and run the downloaded clockworkmod from command prompt it just comes up on my pc wanting to burn it as it is an img file. Please help I don't know what to do.

Now I have managed to install an stock rom, it finished installing and re-booted. Now all I get on is the android sign and thats it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melombine:
Hello! I recently flashed my GT-I9000 with Darkys. I now became more interested in ROMs like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. Could somebody please tell me how to change from custom rom to another? Is it different? How about lagfixes? Do i need to disable something? Step by step guide would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
Have you got lagfix enabled? If you have you should disable this first

The ROMs you are referring to have full install instructions. If you wanted to start from a stock ROM you can flash using Odin then start from scratch
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuhoaja:
Nice to see some other fin's ;)

You are on 2.2 stock rom right?

(You may skip this if you've already done)

First, root your phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Then, go to Market with your phone and install ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod trought it ;)

(You can get to Clockworkmod by pressing Volume UP + MENU + Power On when phone is off)

(Start here)

Read this and flash the file in it trough CWM (=Clockworkmod). (install zip from sd-card>choose zip)

Before it do a nandroid backup with Clockworkmod.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047924

After flashing it, (I suggest you to use the Cyanogenmod ROM, its much better than MIUI IMO) just see this guide and download Cyanogenmod and flash it trough CWM

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/17020-all-models-cyanogenmod-7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plinho_v:
Hello everyone, yesterday I changed my ROM from Simple Honey to Goatrip 1.9 (had to install jvh stock firmware first, then goatrip, then I installed Supercurio's kernel) and now i notice 2 things... All the apps that are installed on the phone is just missing after I reboot, if i move them to SD card that's ok... The odd thing is that when I install them again, their data are intact...

Is it a problem with the rom, the kernel, or with my phone?? Is there a way to auto-install apps into sd card?? There are some apps that can't be moved to sd card, like Whatsapp, what should I do??

Another thing I noticed is that the notification bar that stays on the top of the screen is missing too, i can only see it when the phone is locked...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foster10:
Hi,

I just switched from ColdMOD Improvement v2.1 to Simply Honey 3.6.1 and having the same issue as you described.

I hope someone help & have answer to this.

Tnx.

has anyone been having issues after rooting using one click root? I've tried Touch Wiz, ADW and Launcher Pro. My widgets will all of a sudden say not avaible and disapear from the widget list.. also, the phone will randomly restart.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Only widget im having problems with is pandora which keeps disappearing on me but i think thats due to the last update
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seniorstew:
I'm having issues with engadget sound hound and evernote
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cynikaloptimist:
I only have one widget disappearing...springpad
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sraitter:
I was having random issues with widgets and freezes before root. In my opinion I think touchwiz is just clunky.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seniorstew:
Never had the issue with my Captivate.. im thinking about returning it and waiting for the AT&T Nexus S.. I can't believe Sammy would release a phone with this many bugs!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Funny because I have had 0 issues (before or after root)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
My vote is That the file system is rfs and that is the culprit. However rumor has it that supercurio is working on a lag fix. I. Have no proof of this. Just an uneducated guess

0 issues here... Before or after root.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] knight4led:
As usual check to make sure what storage the app is installed on. I am having some issue with my Audiogalaxy widget personally. I never told it to do so, but it installed the app on my internal "memory card" as opposed to on the phone. Move it if you have to.

Try restart after that, and if it still isn't working, try removing and reinstalling.

(I'm beginning to suspect some widgets I am used to may be gingerbread only)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nickn850:
Yeah gtasks is deleting itself and also my videos and mp3s randomly stop working.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well he tweeted it. he didnt say in progress, he simply said he was looking through the infuse source code... and then said the infuse would get the voodoo treatment. first sound, then lagfix. dont expect it this week or next. or even next month. it might come that fast but it might not. he got a sgs2 and may be sidetracked with that, also he is heavily involved with new stuff for voodoo sound, maybe we will get squeezed in to this next voodoo sound release, maybe the one after.

is anyone who is having trouble using apps to sd? that is known to cause disapearing widgets. the sgs's have ample storage for apps. i dont know why people insist on moving them to the sd. maybe they have a fast sd card but the phone doesnt need much. embedded os is kinda designed to do minimal i/o.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] donharden2002:
I had the same issues with widgets deleting. I had to uninstall and reinstall from market to get the going again.

I should have said this first, my issues only started after rooting. But then again I only had the phone for about 10 mins before rooting it.

got rid of it already though as I have an sgs2 on the way.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] argylesocks:
odd. I have had zero problems with the phone. no reboots. no widget problems.

i have added/deleted many... including evernote.

no problems.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] gmillerguy:
No issues with force closing, but I have had quite a bit of disappearing Widgets. Grooveshark and audible from the same panel in go launcher. I haven't done root or anything.

Can I admit that my love of this phone maybe more than just a man's love for a device.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] b3asty:
I'm having a difficult time not coming out and admitting that!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] darkjz:
I had the same problem of Widgets Disappearing, mainly after reboots.

In my case, the culprit was that the applications were automatically installed in the Internal SD (16gb one) of the phone instead of its flash memory... The end result was that when the phone booted up, looked for the widgets /before/ it had finished mounting and scanning the Internal & External SDs, causing the OS to simply removing the Widgets since it could no longer find them.

Try checking on Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> <Problematic App / Widget> (And if available) -> Move to Phone

Reboot and they should stop disappearing. :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gmillerguy:
This totally works. Using go launcher and unrooted Infuse 4G. Both Grooveshark and audible widgets now stay active in the widgets menu.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gmillerguy:
No of course not. It's only in your front pocket by coincidence.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
That fixed it sir thanx..i too have a 16 gig

Glad I could be of assistance! d(^_^)b
[Samsung Infuse 4G] knight4led:
Guess I should have been exactly this specific when I mentioned to move the apps earlier... ;)

me either. i did a restore of 117 apps from my inspire to my infuse and everything works. GPS is the best i've ever had, and i've had many many phones.

[Blade General] rock.n.dave:
Hi,

I've a problem with my ZTE Blade. Since there is very difficult to open the battery cover, each time I open it, y hurt my nails, so I do it with a plastic tool.

Today, I've realized that I've damaged a rubber tape in the rear part that has some copper cables inside.

I'd like to know if somebody knows what are this cable intended to. Is this the antenna? I haven't experienced any coverage loss.

I've seen a disassembly video in youtube, and this rear part seems not to have any kind of connector to the main board, but i'm not sure.

I'd also like to warn you about this. Please, be careful while opening the battery cover.

stay with froyo.

Nvr heard of anyone getting blue teeth from froyo or gingerbread. YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE MAN.
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
Also, there seem to be few if any apps coming out requiring GB. That was not the case with Froyo - there were LOTS of changes to the API there and not being able to upgrade meant missing out on new apps. Nothing like that with GB so I don't mind sticking with Froyo for a bit of stability.
[Vibrant General] Monk4Life:
Frojo is the Spanish version of 2.2 :-)

[Vibrant General] zhuzf:
slightly. nothing noticeable difference between froyo and gb.
[Vibrant General] TecknoFreak:
I honestly have to say I have try every single rom posted here in less then 2 months. For last I have seen lots of hype with Ginger CM7 and I went for it.

2 days pass and I downgraded again to Frojo 2.2 since I hated it that ginger, is buggy and there aint much I could do to get it popping like I can do with custom Frojo Roms.

So I will stick with Frojo until Ginger gets the support we have now for Frojo types.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
It's FROYO
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
im sorry i really love cm7
[Vibrant General] TecknoFreak:
Really? No offence mate but many of the great computer or cell phone gurus are spanish. :p:eek::D

Back to subject and thinking about my decision I stick with froyo all day long until I decide going for iPhone and I don't see that from happening since I'm a apple and windows hater. Lol

[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
You can try clearing cache and dalvik, and even data (if you don't mind setting things up again). These have been known to cause random bugs, if they weren't wiped when moving from a different ROM to CM7. I'd start with cache and dalvik, and see if that helps. Those don't really hurt anything (Android just recreates those when you reboot). Then if you still have issues, wipe data. If you are still having problems, try to re-flash the ROM as previously recommended (bad flashed sometimes happen), or try a different ROM.
