I'm new to Bada OS, and I want to update my Phone and in the same time to unbrand it ....

I have an Samsung S8500 and it is braded Vodafone and it is Bada 1.0 ...

I want to upgrede it to 1.2 and in same time to unbrand it ....

I've found the tutorial and the firmwares here http://badawaveapps.blogspot.com/2010/12/flashing-samsung-wave.html but i Don't know what version to flash ... I live in Romania (Europe) so S8500XEKC2 is good ?

Also, the spoof method from here http://badawaveapps.blogspot.com/2011/02/now-spoof-apps-in-official-bada-12-or.html will still work ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] m90ultimate:
you should flash your phone with xxjk1 ,it is the latest europian firmware which allows you to sp**f apps from menu and it is also bada 1,2 so you get swype too. .
[Bada Software and Hacking General] TGeorgeMihai:
Thank you. This is what I wanted to know.
[EVO 4G General] mintilmidnight:
So right now were trying to make sure that the future of HTC's phones dont get knocked out because of the encrypted bootloader they are trying to force upon us so im just writing this to you all to make sure that the XDA members know whats going on and I was wondering if you all can help us out, these are the details:

right now i'm sure your aware of what is going on in HTC's facebook page and i wanted to know if you

would read up on what is going on and show that everyone is wanting this to be unlocked.

This first link is the petition that were all signing to show to HTC that we are wanting this:

http://www.groubal.com/htc-bootloaders-and-nand/#signatures

We want more to know about it so i was reaching out to all of you right now.

this second link is the conversation that a member who started this had with a sprint rep on facebook, it shows that sprint is not the one responsible for the locked bootloader and that they are not trying to push for it.

https://www.facebook.com/sprint/posts/156658601067283

This last link is just what xda is thinking of it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094914

we know that they made a statement but we want to make sure that they know that we all want this to be unlocked

So pass this along and let everyone know what is happening! thanks for your help!

2.1 only? If 2.2 does it include the modified 3e recovery?
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
And as a heads up on GB, which we should have soon, we see a movement of root being included in the kernel which you would flash via Odin and the just download superuser from the market.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layzie020:
Whats the difference between ROM manager and Titanium backup? I have ROM manager back up everything on my phone on a daily basis. I just flashed Das BAMF and it came with Titanium Backup and noticed the Backup\restore tab. I personally think ROM manager back up is great, but have been reading that most of you love Titanium. What, if any, are the advantages of Titanium?

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headcheese:
Titanium backs up apps and settings, and Rom manager or clockwork backs up your whole phone if that makes sense.

Using a backup from clockwork you can roll back to what you had before. Using titanium you can restore your apps and settings to a new version of a Rom.

Be careful restoring stuff especially settings with titanium when going to a new build sometimes that will screw things up.

Personally I don't use titanium all that much, I like to stick with the same Rom. but its nice to have.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akstyle450:
ROM manager let's you download roms and most importantly, back them up.

ROM manager backs up the entire phone pretty much. Settings, apps, cache, all that stuff.

Titanium backup let's you backup[and restore] all the apps and app settings on your phone.

It's good for when changing roms where you have to start on a clean slate. (Wiping the phone)

Certainly beats downloading all the apps from the market again, while also losing your app data.

Any more questions? :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Got all the size comparisons using this calculator:

http://www.silisoftware.com/tools/screen.php

Number in bracket is mm.

Diagonal: 7.0" (16:10) --> W= 5.9" (149.86) and H=3.7" (93.98)
Diagonal: 8.9" (16:10) --> W= 7.5" (190.50) and H=4.7" (119.38)
Diagonal: 9.7" ( 4:3 ) --> W= 7.8" (198.12) and H=5.8" (147.32)
Diagonal: 10.1" (16:10) --> W= 8.6" (218.44) and H=5.4" (137.16)

Original question:

Please if anyone can help me here. I am not good with math :)

For the Samsaung Galaxy Tab 8.9" model.

If the diagonal length of the screen is 8.9 inch, and the screen aspect ratio is 16:10.

What is the screen height and width in milimiter?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sriram_s:
using the Pythagorean Theorem, I get about 119.81mm x 191.7mm
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Thanks :)

Now I can make a mock screen from paper and place it on my iPad, to see how big it is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Got all now :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
Make up mock ups of all screen sizes, make photos, post them here.

You would help a lot of ppl.

Especially that it is next to impossible to go to the shop and play with 5 or 6 tablets before making a choice :-(.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] freonix:
Then draw some Touchwiz interface vs vanilla HC into the mockup screen. Then make mock ups of with and without micro sd slots.

Geez guys, wait for the final product to come out and try for yourself. Other than that, just continue imagine it...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
And when all of this is done... maybe you could actually make 3d mockups? :-)

BTW: remember , when you will be doing screens - ,make sure they show something so we can also compare quality and viewing angles :-):D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I need this comparison to help me choose between 8.9" v 10.1" :)

I have an iPad2 as reference (screen size).

The 8.9 probably is a bit too small (the height). Although the width is more or less the same with the iPad2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cosimoss:
The 10.1 LE actual sceen size:

8.55" x 5.35" diag 10.05"

217mm x 136mm diag 255mm
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I cant believe that I have done it. So, I made the mock up tablets from paper for both 8.9" and 10.1".

And I think I will buy the 10.1".

It is a bit wider than iPad2.

Because the 8.9" is just too small. It is indeed more portable, but too small.

Now I am convinced, the 10.1" is the way to go!

[Xoom General] poisike:
I use it in EU, it works on my Xoom and also on my phone. No problems what so ever.
[Xoom General] MiRaCL:
You have to update the Music app to version v3.0.338.

3 ways to do this.

1. Have an us IP address on the Xoom. (Gain marked access trough proxy?)

2. Use Market Access and get the update

3. Somebody uploads the latest Music APK.

I'm no battery stat guy, but could someone tell me if this is considered good battery life.

How long was your display on? You can check by tapping "Display" on that screen.

What level brightness was the screen? Did you use 4g? How long were you on the phone for? You can check by tapping "Voice Calls". Were you doing anything particularly battery intensive?

[Epic 4G General] cds0699:
Looks alright to me.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Its not absurdly short, but you could probably be getting a little better battery life. Now let me just clarify that I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what you were using your phone for or how you have it setup so you may be getting spectacular battery life for your specific setup.
[Epic 4G General] Sprintguy1376:
Yeah it seems just a little short to me too. I usually average about 3 hours of screen on time with 12 hours of usage throughout the day. About 30% brightness.

A lot of the battery depends on background data, auto-sync, fetching widgets, coverage area, gps usage, gaming, etc etc. So much to account for that the image doesn't tell us.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
I'm just trying to have an idea where I'm at compared to most. I just brought juice defender ultimate, so I'm starting to tweak things.
[Epic 4G General] wolvdog316:
on Bonsai, I can get 3 and half hours screen on before it goes dead playing games.

With 2 hours on, minimal games, regular stuff, on Bonsai I could pull 24 hours probably.
[Epic 4G General] nanobytecomputers:
If you are rooted get a voltage and cpu control. for normal web browsing use and talking on phone etc 600mhz at 1150mv is perfectly fine maybe even lower (even tethering). you should also have the cpu throttler tweaked to stay as low as possible.

when you need flash video running or something intensive you should be able to run the phone at 1200 25mv below factory ^^ (does not apply to games)

My downfall was overheating issues so I spent the last day testing things to do with power so I can use it plugged in without getting to hot

*edit

I am going to find the min usage and see whats possible at what speeds/ power without having bad performance
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
That's about what I average on stock Gingerbread. I've gotten up to 40 hours (weekend, hardly any use at all) on this phone but also have gotten as little as 3 hours (probably a stuck app I couldn't find).

No juice defenders, task killers, etc.

[Nook Color Accessories] ndiguy5:

[Nook Color Accessories] DrSarcasmo:
I just picked up this case this week. Very impressed with it for the price. The stand works well and it isn't flashy. Feels good in the hand too. I can't post links yet, but I got it on Amazon:

CrazyOnDigital Folio Black Leather Case
[Nook Color Accessories] For_the_moves:
Ended up buying one of these. I'll report on the quality and how/if it fits with the Aegis on.

Edit - Just got this case and it fits perfectly! I even have space for additional cards and screen wipes. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a holder while having the Aegis on.

I haven't seen this posted anywhere, so I thought I would put up a link to it.

http://viperboy.tiamat-aosp.com/index.php

This script allows you to undervolt your kernel on the fly through terminal emulator. I have been able to undervolt Leedroid's latest kernel by 125 mv using this. Hope it works well for you to. Be sure too read the instructions and use at your own risk. It should not be used by those who don't understand what it does. I am in no way affiliated with this script. I just used it with good results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] h-visual:
I tried it but it said I am using an incompatible rom, my rom is cleardroid.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Unsupported ROM or device? It looks like it only supports:

From script:

echo "Device: HTC EVO"
echo "Device: HTC Incredible"
echo "Device: Nexus One"
echo "Device: HTC Desire GSM"
echo "Device: HTC Thunderbolt"
echo "Device: Samsung Nexus S"
echo "Device: Samsung Nexus S 4G"
[HTC Inspire 4G] sugardaddy1979:
The desire is supported. So inspire is too. Could be the kernel I guess. Worked fine on Lee droid and my brother is using on cm7 on his thunder bolt.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
"Desire" and "Desire HD" ("Inspire") are two completely different phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sugardaddy1979:
May well be, but I have personally used it on the inspire and it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
No go, won't work on CM7
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
Yup, no go on cm7
[HTC Inspire 4G] sugardaddy1979:
What kernel are you using on cm7? What error message are you getting?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Which version? I've looked at all the currently available ones and none support "ace" (this is what stock Inspires report as the model with ro.product.device).

Also, this is a poorly written unix shell script. The author uses function names that begin with numbers, like 1stgensnapdragon() and 2ndgensnapdragon() which is a no-no in shell scripting, but apparently some shells ignore it and work anyway (the stock shell seems to, but the busybox shell rejects it). This may be the reason for some failures.

The script checks for the undervolt driver in the kernel. Many custom kernels don't have this and this will cause failure as well.

[EVO 4G General] c1o5ry1991:
Is there any true bugless/very minimally bugged ROM out there? Tried CM6, CM6, Evervolv, and some others. I'm talking something that can be fully fixed if there are bugs in it, or is there a ROM that will basically be a stock evo with the sprint garbage removed from it, i was wondering maybe I could stick a savagedzen kernel on it and get some better speed from it as well with bettery battery life. I know there is a fresh evo but I don't think that this ROM gets rid of the junkware sprint puts on? Since quadrant scores and the like are mostly useless I'm beginning to even wonder, are you "truly" getting any more speed out of a custom ROM over stock without getting bugs?

Right now I'm on CM7, everything is wonderful, of course except for the bugs. The random 3g -> 1x for no reason, making the internet not even usable. The random mini-lockups/terrible lag that I can get, etc are all just too annoying to deal with when they pop up. It's irritating when I go to my friends and say "here check this out, this thing has more battery life and as fast a he-...oh well actually my internet on it is bugging out right now and the lockscreen I have to really quick reboot for etc etc." What's the point of speed if these sort of things happen, you know? All of the flashiness of gingerbread is starting to urk me with all the bugs it brings, I haven't tried a froyo mod except for myns, I don't remember what kind of bugs I had in that, if any. What's the best way to go from here? Maybe give CM6 a try again and put SZen kernel on it?(I only ever tried it with stock) Thanks for any opinions/sorry for the mini text wall.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Newsflash: CM7 is buggy, and has always been buggy, hence the ever updated releases.

If you want a ROM that's as close to 100% stable as you can find, try the bigger Sense ROM's....
[EVO 4G General] c1o5ry1991:
Are there any very stable AOSP ROMs? Especially gingerbread? Or do these only truly become stable when the real releases are out for the phones? Because If that's not the case, why not just run stock, you know? What's the real benefit? The only reason I rooted in the very beginning was to get rid of the junk Sprint has attached in the beginning. I don't mind sense. However ever since I've rooted I've been on a speed/battery hunt thinking I could get something majorly different. Is it even worth it? What is CM6 like with savagedzen for instance? Because that's what I'm thinking of trying next. Or are all AOSP going to have pretty hefty bugs with them one way or another due to the nature of them?
[EVO 4G General] Moricon:
So far the new ports of the Shift roms are solid as a rock. Misfits for stock. Kings for some ultra themed ones and Zone23 for blue.

Give them a try you won't regret disappointed.
[EVO 4G General] iwantyourskulls:
Try Misfits Speedy Port. Pretty stable with Sense 2.1. I'm making a rom based on that one that is stripped down, but not allowed to post dev forums yet
[EVO 4G General] c1o5ry1991:
What are you gaining over a stock evo, though. Compared to this?
[EVO 4G General] rushco:
Years ago the phones were slow and bloated. You could install custom ROMs and actually notice an increase in speed.

With the phones coming out now they are already fast and if you root to look for a speed increase you might not notice much. You will notice all the bloatware gone though.

For a stable ROM I would look for a 2.2 Calk ROM or ones like that. They may not have been updated in awhile but that's because there isn't much to add or change. Everything works.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
What about myns?

[EVO 4G General] c1o5ry1991:
See I don't understand why the call them "release [clients?]", and then release a "full version", even when the full version is still buggy with devices. I stayed away from CM7 for that exact reason until they finally got the full version up. Once I stuck it on i was enjoying it so much but the bugs are just too annoying to deal with anymore. Can't even show off with it because of them popping up at the dumbest times and then it's like yeah so much for that awesome phone hack. I might go try myn's again or CM6, not sure. I just want the stock apps gone, and I want a stable environment. Speed is nice too. Being unique is nice, when it doesn't have huge drawbacks.
[EVO 4G General] c1o5ry1991:
The more and more I think about it I don't remember having too many issues with myn's, so I may try that out again. Not sure. Is there any way to get that gingerbread lock off/on animation? That is something I'm really after, along with the gingerbread keyboard too.

[EVO 4G General] chandlerw88:
No smart phone to date is bug free. Cm7 stable is best in my opinion and that 3g/1x bug you speak of isn't a bug but cm7 actually giving you the accurate data speed in the area you are in.
