[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dlev7:
Ya thanks so much for the feedback.

Since I loved my Captivate so much I thought I would get its next generation version and get the front facing camera, better display, faster processor.

But then as stated above all the questions regarding thet SGS II **Possibly** coming out in July. I love what the reviews say of the SGS II, plus the development of that will be incredible.

I dont wanna play the waiting game because obviously we all know what the waiting game is, its waiting for the next best thing just to be out down the next two weeks. The Captivate was my first top of the line phone I got, and I loved it, I love hacking into it, I loved soft bricking it, I loved having CM7, to JVH, to all the ROM's.

That being said if the Infuse was getting the development support as that of an Atrix for example I may just jump in, but it will be hard because I dont for see the development for this taking off really any time soon, that being said I could be completely ROM, wait till Jully have no SGS II, and the Infuse having CM7 and Ill be with my Captivate. Oh well : D.

Finally, the one thing I do like about the Infuse is as ALL of you have said, and other reviews is out of the box the Captivate is ****, lets be honest, its choppy, is on 2.1, its GPS is horrendous, and TW3 on that is horrible, but with the development it has been turned into quite an incredible little phone :D.

If I were to get the Infuse I could be satisfied for a little bit because as everyone says there are some nice stock perks, and is much smoother out of the box. That being said I'll probably wait after the summer till I purchase a phone to just see if there is a possible Odin flash back to stock method in place for this, and how the development proceeds.

Any other word y'all here or things in why the Infuse>> Captivate?

Thanks so much!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathpulse:
I think the Infuse is selling like hotcakes (at least near me). This suggests (although not guarantees) good development for the device.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dlev7:
Ya I know the Infuse is selling well where I live as well but then again I dont know if any of the main SGS Dev's are coming to the Infuse. And that is very important to me.

But I did just think of something, if someone could take the Stock Infuse ROM, and .tar it couldnt we just use Odin to flash back to stock by just putting the stock infuse ROM in a .tar file, putting it into the PDA file slot, .512 Pit, Repartition, and then flash back to stock.

Thats assuming that the Infuse still has Download mode ect. ect.? Just a thought, obviously I dont have an Infuse but would be a nice little test.

THe reason im so intrigued by the Infuse though is, it looks and sounds like the much better Captivate out of the box which makes me think, that it will be nice for a while, while we wait for development, and then someone could whip up some nice ROMs for the Infuse.

That being said if the SGS II does sell like the SGS first generation, and be branded my individual carriers, I think I'd have to go with that, as it comes with 2.3.4, TW4, same processor, Dev support, ect. But in the Infuse defense they do look like very similar phones... They are both probably amazing, but honestly I dont wanna leave my Captivate (with JVH Darky 10.1 Beta) for something stock for too long : P

im using it on a compute rmonitor with hdmi. unfortunately hdmi standards keep changing and hdmi devices do handshakes. not all hdmi devices are compatable. how old are your tv's? are they hdmi 1.3 complient?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jhwilliams:
I totally agree. The HTC Holiday will definitely be sweet. I was a little bummed when I read an article a day after the Infuse release "Infuse buyers: wait for the Holiday!" But I'd been waiting for the Infuse since January. Eventually in this fast-paced Market, you have to buy a phone and enjoy it for a while, even though something better might be coming out soon.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dlev7:
Agree completely, you cannot play the waiting game ever, although if I am going to use my upgrade it will have to be on the SGS II for AT&T, or the Infuse.

Tough choice, I think it will ultimately come down to how the development is for both, and pricing.

ive never been a huge HTC fan, my best friend owns the Inspire.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cchant:
I was going to get the Infuse but after hearing about the HTC Holiday I'm going to wait.

My upgrade is going to the galaxy s 2 or the holiday whichever comes first.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshchn:
Hello Devs, this is a request to see the possibility of adding Netflix app support to your existing 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROMs. We know it already works on 2.3.3 or higher, but the app need not necessarily be on a gingerbread ROM as this release of the app supports few devices running 2.2 like HTC Incredible, HTC Evo 4G and HTC G2.

A hacked version of the app without device check is discussed in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076850

The hacked version is reportedly running on more officially unsupported 2.2 devices like Nook color and Mytouch 3G. I am hoping devs (especially devs here having both froyo and gingerbread ROMS) can figure out what is missing in vibrant froyo ROMs which force-exists the app as soon as you login. Thanks in advance!!

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

I Have searched this forum and saw that there are plenty of rom's made by different people. There are too many to choose from, i wanted to be suggested some nice stable rom's..other than the ones made by CyanogenMod.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Well you're right there are definitely a lot of ROMs especially for the nexus one cyanogen is definitely the most popular but another one that I like is miui you can also check out ROMs made by micromod for example desire port super hybrid but the best way to chose would be to just read around and find a good one you like.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garfnodie:
The beauty of of having a rooted phone is trying out all the ROMs. With Amon or Clockwork, it's easy to backup your phone and then switch to a different ROM and see how you like it. If the new one doesn't suit your needs, you can restore back to the previous one and then start looking into trying out another ROM.

Here are my quick reviews on all the ROM's I've tried out so far.

Cyanogen: Most stable of any ROM I've ever tested, even the nightlies are stable. Not as visually appealing as others, but lots's of under the hood tweaking. You can always make it look pretty with other apps and add-ons.

Any of the Sense ROMs: Nice looking, some cool widgets that give you access to things like Facebook, twitter, SMS/MMS, email and scroll able contacts list right on the main screen. These ROMs are large though, they will eat up a lot of storage memory just being installed, and that's before you've installed any of your own apps. None have been as stable as Cyanogen for me yet though.

Any MIUI: If you've ever used an iOS device and noticed how smooth the screens scroll and transition from one to the other, MIUI come close to that smoothness, but so far for me, even less stable than Sense. Lot's of customization options available though.

For me, after having tested out all the ROM's that I have, I always end up going back to Cyanogen. Sure it's not as visually appealing as Sense or MIUI, but it's stability and frequency of updates (if you use the nightlies) more than makes up for that, IMHO. One thing about the Android platform that is great, is than you can always add more visual flare to a boring interface using market app and apps that you'll find here on XDA.

My best advice though is test them all out yourself, not everyone likes the same things, and you have to test them for yourself to see what works for you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masantula:
Thanks you so much for the great advice, i now have the confidence to try other roms and see what best suites me.

Thanks for all the input from everybody else :)

ok so i recently picked up a used mytouch 4g. i rooted it and have superuser ability along with rom manager. have tried and think i have installed 3.0.2.4 clockwork recovery. i flashed that multiple times.

however when i try and boot into recovery i merely get to the phone with the red !. am i missing something?

thanks for your time!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
does you phone say s-off at the top when you boot into hBoot?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
s-on. however i thought you could still root and flash roms with it on. looks like im wrong?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
you are correct in your assumption.

The HTC Glacier and Vision have a security protocol in place that will revert the phone back to a 100% stock fashion every-time you turn off the phone. If you wish to do custom ROMs, recovery images, and radio files you must turn the "s-on" to "s-off".
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
ok so i did see the thread for s-off yet it seems very intensive. im also assuming theres no other way to get s-off.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
You can try the sh root.sh method.

1a ) download and install VISIONary.apk.

Download from here

-Looks like you've done that since you have come this far.

1b) when you run VISIONary make sure both set

system to R/W

and

Run Visionary.sh

are both checked.

2) Download the script to the root of your SDcard

This is the file

3) Extract the folder from the .zip and store the folder with it's contents onto the root of the SDcard.

4) Download Terminal emulator from the market

-Link to the market for this app.

5) open the Terminal Emulator and type

$ su
#

The Dollar Sign " $ " should change to a pound sign " # ". If the Super user program ask for your permission, you'll want to grant it. You're screen should look like the box just above this line.

6 ) Change the directory to the root folder

# cd /sdcard/root

7) run the script

# sh root.sh

make sure you do not get any errors.

If you havent you can reboot into hBoot and look for s-off.

i personally used this method to root my phone before i left the t-mobile store when i bought the phone.

I CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE. ROOTING ONES PHONE IS SERIOUS BUSINESS AND SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. IF YOU SHOULD BLAME ME I WILL LAUGH AND POINT.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
tried that and it does have s-off. thanks! however when i try to boot into recovery im still stuck with the phone and !...

EDIT: /sdcard/root/wpx.ko failed (function not implemented)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcwiker05:
After doing the above method you're gonna have to reinstall the recovery from Rom Manager. Watch it carefully do not let the phone sleep (I recommend going to delopment check never sleep while charging and plug it into a charger while it downloads.) You have to pay attention because it will ask for SU permissions when it finishes downloading, and it for some reason only gives you like 3 or 4 seconds instead of the usual ten. If you have already tried installing the recovery you may wanna go to the SU App and make sure that Rom Manager didn't get denied premission which is the default if you do not select Allow fast enough.

Virtuous Fusion 1.0.6 with sense 3.0/3D is fantastic!. Give it a go.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Try out a sense rom and non sense to decide which you like best. virtuous fusion 1.0.6 is pretty nice sense rom and cm7 or royalginger are awesome non sense roms.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
im going to try both!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Make sure to do Nandroid Backups prior to flashing new ROMs. And just a fair warning you might want to install the .85 (engineering) hBoot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
what is that hboot all about?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Absolutely a great idea, little nerve wracking to make changes to hboot and radio but very worth it. The directions how to do engineering boot loader are in the ultimate s-off sticky. Confusing at first, but after you do it once it gets easier.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
It's a option that helps prevent bricking the device. Allows you to flash section of to phone's workings

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
so first i must thank you all for the help. now the bad, i decided to buy another mytouch 4g. my fiance liked the old one so much that she took it. so now im here with a new one and have nothing but problems.

im running 2.2.1 and seem to be able to root the phone. su icon is on and everything. BUT if i reboot the phone its like i have to start over. im not just temp rooting either. second, i cant get ANY terminal emulator to let me have su access.

visionary, z4root, adb. you name it and i seem to think ive tried it. lol this is unfair, my chicks phone is way better than mine.

any help would be so awesome.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Trade phones back so she gets the new one. Problem solved!

Seriously though, some of these phones won't root with visionary root.sh method. Bad news is if it's not working you will need to try gfree method to root which is indicative of a phone with the emmc chip that is considered to be faulty. For more info search for the thread about emmc chips.

You can't render 3D applications through an RDP connection with any kind of speed at all. If you could get it to work it would look like a slideshow and be impossible to interact with. You should bring a laptop, or chill out and not raid while you're traveling.

BTW, newest versions of RDP do support some 3D acceleration (look for info on RemoteFX). But yeah, don't expect to run any games that way, for multiple reasons. And don't expect to see this on any tablet or phone,as I doubt Microsoft makes the whole API public, so third party clients will always have limited support for RDP features.

Assuming you can get it to play in windowed mode, you should be able to do some things with splashtop. Try the free version first: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.splashtop.remote.free . I can sort of play starcraft 2 with this, and I definitely play ps2 and dreamcast with it, so give it a shot!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquareBare:
Try Splashtop it works for nearly every game that can be run in windowed mode.

We have some setup information here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999133

You will want a wireless keyboard or a bluetooth controller to play with, I don't know if splashtop supports a mouse though.

If I can get my XOOM to play left 4 dead 2. You can probably get yours to play wow.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
Well for $1.99 I couldn't resist. Downloaded splashtop, set a few things in my routers configuration and bam... WoW on my Xoom. I highly recommend a bluetooth keyboard and mouse of some sort if you're really dead set on doing this.

One drawback is you have to set your audio to 2 channel if its anything else, or it will simply mute.

Lol, no problem. I tried to run around last night with a keyboard and mouse and found out real quick that splashtop doesn't translate mouseclicks or right clicks very well. Their solution to click and hold is to tap and then hold and drag which caused my POV to spin way out of control and from then out I couldn't see anything so I just logged out lol.

...do I unlock the phone now that Android is installed?

Should I have done a SuperCID on it when Windows was still installed, or is there a way to do it now, too?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
if you mean sim/network unlock, its completely unconnected to roms/flashing/hspl or any of that.

there is no free unlock, you can only get it unlocked to other networks by getting a code off your provider, or paying for one from teh many companies that offer the service.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] madcapmagician:
So, what happens when you stick, say, a Vodaphone SIM in a T-Mobile HD2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
The phone asks for a code if it's sim locked. If it's unlocked, then it will detect the sim card and connect to Vodaphone's service. The only thing that doesn't always work is 3g data, if the new network doesn't use the same frequency bands as the carrier the phone was made for. Like if you put an AT&T sim in an unlocked TMOUS HD2, you can make calls and use 2g data, but 3g won't work.
[Nook Color Accessories] nerdful1:
Does the nook on-board regulator have current limiting? Or are the wall warts and car power adapters limiting the maximum current.

I know the standard usb ports limit to 500ma in most cases, but with the appropriate cable and connections, the nook will request the higher USB ratings, 1.9 amps on my stock wall wart and stock power cord.

Are car chargers built with usb sockets limited to some usb spec of 2 amps or so?

A simple 5 volt regulator in a car socket could theoretically supply 10-30 amps depending on its fusing.

What I am wondering is say, a gell cell or NiCd pack with high current ability could be connected to the nook, using the high power usb pins enabled to on would be safe, or would the Nook be expecting a limited power source.

I'm afraid if i connect a 5v 10A plus source like above, and there is no self current limiting, I might blow an internal fuse or input resistor.

I want to take the thing on a trip, and was hoping a battery pack in my bag with a female USB jack (the center two pins shorted, and the stock cable) would be able to charge the unit when away from both the AC and car power.

Thanks.

P.S. On a related note, do airlines now have 120 volt outlets at all seats so I could use my nook charger?
[Nook Color Accessories] jared_c:
I'll answer the postscript first: Nope. It's a rare plane that has ANY 120 V outlets in coach. If you're willing to fork out the cash for first class it's probably a fifty-fifty chance.
[Nook Color Accessories] jared_c:
As to the current limiting, yes, most car chargers are pretty low power, usually rated to an amp or so. It's pretty hard to find one that will match the stock wall wart in amps.

I would be careful of a simple linear regulator in a car charger, as you'd be dumping a lot of power directly to heat. Each amp of current would put 5 watts out the usb port and burn 7 watts in the regulator. Won't take long to start a fire that way.

Now, lithium ion batteries normally have pretty sophisticated charge control circuitry, as too rapid of a charge could cause it to burst into flames. If you decide to test your idea make sure you have a good class C fire extinguisher handy!
[Nook Color Accessories] nerdful1:
To update my airplane power question of years ago: Since then, I've been traveling a lot and have found USA 120 volt outlets in all planes. Both in 1st and cramped class.
