could be...or, mission is a 5 time replacement person....maybe he falls into some kind of retention program designed to try and boost satisfaction. TMobile and ATT have done this before...so has xBox....never know....

J.D. Powers and Associates....customer satisfaction awards mean alot to these companies....get to use them on TV commercials.....like Subaru
[Venue Pro General] zigg:
Brother, I'm in the same boat as you. I just got off the phone with them yesterday for a replacement which will be my 5th device. The kicker with this time, they didn't even have the Service Tag in the system for my phone so I was on hold for 45 minutes while he tried to look it up and add it o_O

I was hoping that I could hold out until some 2ng Gen Windows Phones arrived, but its looking more and more unlikely I'll be able to manage. The operator promised me that the VP their sending would have the updated firmware and the device "should not" suffer from the same issues.

This is starting to become a game now. Is there a guniess record for most electronic items returned? So sad :(
[Venue Pro General] jessej:
I was at 8 before they would even discuss the topic of a refund and it was only after one of the customer service reps looked at the frequency that I had been given exchanges that he would speak to his manager about it. I am now waiting for their system to be fixed before anything can be processed and was told by one of the reps that I can expect a 30 day period before the refund takes place. This is an absolute nightmare of a phone to deal with in my opinion. Not because of the customer service but the phone is an absolute lemon.

We need to keep the pressure on Dell. More calls, more WP blogs alerted, more posts on twitter. Include @winphonesupport so the problems we have are heard by the WP7 support team.
[Venue Pro General] erebusting:
get some bots to tweet it repeatedly for you...

I am / was in the same boat with dell, and I am jumping ship and trying to cut loose....(sorry to say so, but I have to do it)

Hey everyone, Demonic Penguin here.

I recently got the Nexus S 4G CDMA and right away flashed NS4G and started customizing. I saw where mikeyinid posted 2 drop downs with this rom so I figured I would try to make my own. I am currently working on a Demonic Theme which will release soon...

Here is my test Demonic drop down made in GIMP. It is a smokey transparent drop. Feel free to flash this through CWM and play around with it all you want...

PM me if you want me to make you a custom drop down for your NS4G.

Enjoy!!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 12MaNy:
Nice work. :)

Thanks everyone!!! I have improved this drop down since then and its going in with my theme once it's finished.

P.S. I'm the Demonic one so it's ok! :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander M:
Something I still do not understand is how flashing an update only installs a few components to my current setup and ROM flash replaces everything.

Example: I use GingerVillian.

So wipe, of which I know wipes /data (user settings 'n stuff) SD apps and/or SD-ext.

Then flash the GingerVillian or any other ROM which will replace the /system with the new ROM.

Can somebody tell me how flashing a ROM will erase everything in /system and install from scratch, while when I use some sort of addition like Update_NexusS_Livewallpaper_Andrew2511.zip it will only add the new feature without touching the rest. Using the same process in Amon Ra: Flash .zip from SD

When looking at the .zip on my laptop I see a complete OS or in case of the update just the files that will be overwritten/changed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
So what is the question, looks to me like you answered it yourself in the last line.

If you want to know why some updates erase everything and others just add stuff that depends on what is written in the update script.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander M:
I didn't know about update script before you told me.

Gonna take a closer look at let's say GingerVillian.zip, can you see the script in there?

EDIT:

Found the script under /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

And noticed only extract commands in the update.zip, where the ROM itself had several format commands in it

format("MTD", "system");

Thanks for pointing this out to me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwz7777:
Would someone that has a stock VZW Tab that can look into the system memory and see if the following directory exists:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

My Tab was branded for US Cellular and I flashed it to VZW stock. Now, when I try to do a factory reset it fails. The mmcblk0p3 folder is in /sys/block on my Tab. I'm trying to find out why I can't reset.

Thanks in advance!

If anyone has this game and knows what I'm talking about, how do you get to the top island? I finished all the other levels, and I verified today that I got gold coins for each of them. But I can't see any way of getting to the island.

From the main menu, select Quick Game and look at the map in the background. You're on that island.

VillainROM 1.0 for the Samsung Galaxy Ace

As I have mentioned previously, this isn’t the magical custom ROM you have all been waiting for, YET. It’s a base that I have created in order for me to work on over the next few days/weeks/months. As I have said a few times now, don’t expect it to be HUGELY different to stock KPE at this stage.

-	Based on Samsung’s XXPE Gingerbread build

-	Pre-rooted with Superuser installed

-	De-odexed (improving free space on /system)

-	All APKs PNG optimized and zip-aligned

-	A few minor tweaks which should improve free memory – please let me know

-	Full battery alert removed (no more 3am wake ups!)

-	Added GenieWidget (News and Weather)

-	Added Gallery3D

-	Added Stock Gingerbread Launcher and REMOVED TouchWizLauncher.apk

-	Menu key will now unlock the phone on the lock screen

-	SOME bloatware removed

-	Huge APN list

-	Annoying boot sound removed

-	Light weight – stripped down the build a bit without losing functionality

See.. as I said, it’s lightweight and just a base at this stage. My work will continue over the next couple of weeks, so expect to see (COMING SOON):

-	Custom OC/UV kernel

-	ClockWorkMod Recovery

-	Add advanced power menu options (Reboot, Recovery, Download and Wipe Data (+ confirmation)

- 2.3.4 additions

Please use this thread for any requests you may have regarding this ROM in the following thread. Please don’t spam it, this is purely for requests only. I will look into each request and let you know if/when it will be implemented.

Instructions:

RECOMMENDED BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Perform a full wipe of data/cache. Dial *#*#7780#*#* from your current ROM, and this will wipe data and perform a factory reset.

1.	Download the zip file from the bottom of this thread and extract it

2.	Boot your phone into download mode, and connect it to the PC

3.	Open ODIN – you should see a COM port in yellow.

4.	Click Ops and select Cooper

5.	Click Boot and select APB_Bootxxxx.tar (not necessary if coming from KPE)

6.	Click Phone and select Modem_xxxxx.tar (not necessary if coming from KPE)

7.	Click PDA and select AceVR.tar.md5

IGNORE THE 2 POP-UP ERROR MESSAGES ABOUT INVALID BINARY – THIS IS NORMAL.

8.	Once complete, the phone will reboot.

Now, please post any opinions, comments or feedback in this thread, and any requests here.

KNOWN BUGS:

- Wifi still has issues with some SD cards

CSC file will be uploaded to thread on VillainROM.co.uk if you need that (ie - coming from old firmware version)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ysgace:
1. Thank you! I guess I'm gonna give this a try tomorrow.

2. Did you build in Darktremor a2sd?

3. What are the Wifi/SD card issues?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] superples:
this is awesome! Good job!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] KoGi77GR:
My thoughts/questions too :)

Thanks again for your effort on the ROM nprussell...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] nprussell:
1. You're welcome

2. No I didn't but if you could link the post for me I will happily include it as an option

3. Wifi driver stops responding with certain SD cards - it doesn't seem to affect me with most of my SD cards, but I don't use this phone as a daily - I work full time in Android and have access to most android phones. I just felt sorry for you guys having no ROM and support whatsoever.

There's also quite a lot of you that own the phone, so it's crazy that not many have picked it up yet from a development perspective.

Anyway, I'll try to get you to a level that you're happy with (custom kernels, CWM, and a rom or two), then I'll move along.

Hopefully, by then, many of you guys will start experimenting with ROMs yourself. It becomes a lot easier when you've got a custom recovery image in place! :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ysgace:
The link to Darktremor's apps2sd is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715116.

I definitely want to start trying to play about with custom ROMs but I'm totally new to Android. So far I've managed to unpack and repack the boot.img in order to modify init.rc but I haven't built anything as such. I'd love to get involved in trying to port CWM to the SGA but I don't know where to start. Happy to help though if I can.

nprussell i have few questions for you. i know that i can ask to do everything, but in the next rom are you going to optimaze the power consuption of the phone, because the live of this phone is normaly 13 to 16 hours and after puffff is dead, i think that changing the voltages could be way to solve this ;)

the other thing is about the overclock ability, you you do a kernel to unluck the overck because i would like to try it to see the max that i can reach with almost the same consuption.

sorry about some mistakes.

thanks and best recover

[BUG] In Music App

Hey guys...I think that i just spotted a bug in the Villain ROM....I don't know whether all of u guys have this bug or not....just wanted to check.

In the default Music App when we hold down the menu button to search....the search is made only in the Albums category and not throughout the Library....

This worked fine in KPE...wonder what changed....

@nprussell.....can u clarify whether this is a bug or just a problem with my handset....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] casiocas:
If you type the name, what you are searching(not just only hold down the menu, but after that, type the name), then it finds all, not just in Albums. Its working for me!

Is the KPE build of Gingerbread the latest leak or the offical release because it seems (sort of) abit rough around the edges. And samfirmware recently got Galaxy mini and fit builds of 2.3.3 for mini and 2.3.4 for fit, so we may see 2.3.4 for the final release for the Ace

I dont know if its me alone, but my battery seems to last a lot less with the Villain ROM (around 7 hours) when compared with KPE (around 13 to 14 hours)

Please let me know if i am missing anything.

Will keep you posted on my findings

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] hypergamer1231:
Even I am usin villianrom I also report that battery hardly last and when is the next release coming i have a standby with live wallpapers of just 12 hours

On the way to KPE

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] jiji.james:
Friends... i think i raised a false alarm.... Today I flashed Villain ROM and the battery life was as good as KPE... I think the issue was caused by some other software that I had installed.

My current configuration was Villain ROM with the following additional softwares

System Seven : Push Mail

Flight Control : Game

XDA App

Data Counter widget

Google reader

Will have to explore the issue further to find out what exactly caused the battery to drain faster... Please provide pointers on the directions that I could look for..

@nprussel : Sorry if I had raised doubt on your work. Your work is really good an appreciated. Looking forward for Villain 2.0

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ChaosChris:
nprussell can you make a fix for the SoD (Standby of Death) in your next release of the VillainROM ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ingbrzy:
There are no SoD since XXKPE.... So nothing to fix...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] nealyblue:
I still get them even with KPE. The only fix I have it to use the 2GB SD card which came with the phone, if I use any other card I get the SoD.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ingbrzy:
I have 8GB Transcend Class 6 with no SoD...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ChaosChris:
I have the SoD in KPE too.

at the moment i use the VillainRom 1.0 with Darmtremor Apps2SD and have SoD.

The only fix i know is to use the Load Monitor app and activate the Wake Lock. But then the Ace has no "deep sleep" and that consumes much battery.

Sorry for my bad English :o
