[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supaphreek:
Well basically, ive read about mintyboost and stuff like that, but what im wondering is... Can i build one SPECIFICALLY for my captivate? eg, cutting up the USB and soldering wires?

I found a 4 (AA) battery holder just yesterday, and ive been thinking of what to do with it. What other parts/pieces would i need to pick up in order to build this? Is it exactly the same as minty boost with the exception or the usb port?

Please let me know :D Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
I'm working on this right now. Going to go 4xAA batteries (unless we find some fun LiPo pack on ebay or something we like better, I happen to have a bunch of NiMH AA's right now), and we'll be shorting out pins 2-3 in the female USB to try to force AC mode from the pack. We'll be going into an altoids tin, hopefully. We may, also, go with 5xAA's just to make sure peak voltage stays high enough for long enough, space inside the can will be an issue. I suppose we could actually put two OEM Captivate batteries in there, they'll fit just fine...hmm.

The first version won't allow the batteries to charge from USB, the second version probably will.

When we do it, I'll take pics and schematics and whatnot. The only trick is that the captivate, as far as I understand it, wants 5v at 500mAh to USB-charge or 750mAh w/ pins 2&3 shorted for AC (fast) mode. Again, the final product should also be able to exceed 1500mAh total capacity (the captivate battery capacity), which won't be an issue with high-capacity AA's in place. We will may only get 1-1.5 full charges, but for me it's an "emergency backup" kind of thing, and if we can actually trick it into AC mode, we'll be smooth sailing.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil950:
I recently installed Darky v9.5 and I love it. However, there is one very annoying little thing.

The "system apps" installed by the ROM, like Titanium Backup and a few other aren't "registered" in the market. That is, Market doesn't pick up that I already have it installed.

Was just wondering if there is some association that I can create so that Market will recognize it and update it natively.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
If you are having the same issue I had (with most newer roms), you go into "Manage Applications", go to "All", find Market, and clear data. The next time you go into the market, it will rebuild (correctly) your app list in MyApps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil950:
I think that actually solved it! Thanks a lot!
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
My girlfriend loves my Nook Color, and wants one too -- exactly the same as mine.

I am running CM7 off of my SD card. It took me awhile to customize my NC to get it just the way I like it.

Rather than go through the whole procedure on her Nook, can I just install CM7 and gapps, and then reboot with a copy of the contents of SD card?

In other words, I don't want to have to download all those gapps again, set up her home screen, etc.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] LBN1:
You can do it that way by backing up all your apps to your SD card, copying to your computer, than transferring to the new card and reinstall. Use Titanium Backup or App Monster for the backups.

Or, you can make a clone image of your SD card on your computer and write the image to the new card. Your 2nd SD card will then be an exact duplicate. Log in with a new gmail account to separate them.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
Wow, that is complicated. I just copied all the files from my 8gb card to my 16gb card on my computer and everything worked fine when I put the larger card in the Nook.

However, if you want to do all this clone and backup stuff, I guess that's another route. :p
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
Download Win32 Disk Imager.

https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer

Insert source SD card.

Select the location you want to backup the SD card to.

Click Read.

Once finished, you can swap out the source SD card and put in the new SD card.

With the backup file still selected, click Write.
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
OK, fine. But you put the new card into the same Nook. What would've happened if you were to put the copied card into another, completely stock Nook? Would it still work?
[Nook Color General] crea78:
I also believe this is the easiest way to transfer your complete "image" of CM7 from one card to another.
[Nook Color General] Awats:
Unless I missed some config in the image software, it only copies the first partition. My 16GB SD card only got a 4GB image file and none of the other partition were there.

Did I miss something?
[Nook Color General] jll544:
You haven't missed anything; the software is broken. The current version has bugs that cause wrap-around every 4GB (i.e., 32-bit integer overflow). Until the bugs get fixed, you should not use Win32 Disk Imager to read or write image files larger than 4GB.
[Nook Color General] Awats:
And they all called me crazy down at the VFW!
[Nook Color General] jokerzwyld77:
Hey everyone, I am a long time lurker who has appreciated everything that is going on here but I have an issue. I want to clone my CM7 image to a newer sandisk 8gb class 4 card. I have the older version (0.1) of win32 disk imager but I am not sure how to write that image off of the card onto my computer to then write back. If anyone can lead me to these instructions, I would be MUCH appreciated. I cannot seem to find the exact steps and I do not want to mess anything up. You all rock, thanks for your help if you can reply.
[Nook Color General] jokerzwyld77:
I thought I would post my findings here for the OP and whoever else may need it. I found a way to backup the SD card image and it should be rewriteable back to a new SD card from what I have read. I used WinImage and under the DISK option, I chose "Creating Virtual Hard Disk Image from physical drive" Then chose the SD card and it will then ask you to choose where you want to save it. It seemed to work for me so I am hoping the burn back to my new SD card works as well. Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyaku_zuki:
These ARE official updates.

This all depends on your carrier. If you are on O2, for example, you will not yet see KE7 in KIES as it hasn't cleared with O2 yet (probably).

What you can do, and the instructions are in the 'Development' section of the forum, is remove the O2 branding from your phone. Your phone is then just 'generic' i.e. it hasn't been modified by O2. This means you get the updates as soon as Samsung release them!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Update path one official via Kies requires the phone provider to update the firmware from Samsung and upload to Kies server . Kies update is to latest version phone provider has uploaded .

Path two are Samsung stock roms that we flash ourselves via Odin .

As this may debrand your phone it may and i repeat may effect the warranty from the seller but not Samsungs warranty .Two the upgrade path via Kies may be closed and updates are now stock roms via Odin .
