touchwiz & sense are a UI layer on top of asop. the nexus runs a pure aosp. there are not anymore types of roms out there. if anything i made the video to give a user insight into the issues. it's funny i had soo much backing until spl came in and i pulled the video. i should of known better than to try to take my personal time to help. i never said my video made any impact. me ranting and giving my personal view is no different than any of the phone reviews out there including any of the podcasts.

im sorry if i disappointed anyone but when i have the same person follow me around like a child and spam just just try to disprove someone because his phone is "fine' sorta is the last straw for me. the only way this issue will get resolved is if you guys " the users" make some type of statement like the 3d users did. i guess the nexus line just doesn't have the same pull nor fanbase.

nothing really else to say in here so again id ask a mod to just lock these threads. i wish us luck!
[Nexus S General] seezar:
I think there is a difference in the HTC bootloader announcement and this issue. It was easier for HTC to come out and publicly announce a policy change. There seems to be a technical issue with the NS4G, there is a big difference (policy change vs technical issue). Until Sprint/Google can determine what might be going on they aren't going to shoot themselves in the foot and basically put out a press release that there is something defective. I agree that it would be nice to get something of a response, but I don't think a newly released "Google" phone is just going to be forgotten and issues not addressed. If it is a software/radio driver issue, it will take time for internal testing before it can be pushed out.

Whether we like it or not, this is how Google operates. There isn't a lot different in this case over other issues with Google products, users report issues to them at their official forums.

Personally, I believe there has been enough attention of this for both Sprint and Google to notice, but bombarding them with more and more complaints won't get it fixed any faster. Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus S General] fixxxer2008:
from what im starting to hear this could very well be a hardware issue and not software. as this doesn't effect all phones.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Fixxer, this is what people are talking about.

Starting to hear.. From where? From who? You can't throw things out like that without a reference or it is just gossip. And unless it's from an engineer who ripped apart the phone, or Samsung, or Sprint. It is still just unfactual gossip that doesn't help.
[Nexus S General] fixxxer2008:
the forums, where else would i hear it?.. and also from dirtyshoomz who is a sprint employee. it's all speculation at this point. if the mods would do their jobs and lock these threads would be no need for any further discussion.

hey guys,

i've got a blank screen on my desire, but apart from that it works. I'm trying to make a nandroid backup using cwm, but based purely on vol up/down and the trackball press. basically, i was wondering if someone could tell me how many vol down/trackball presses i need to a] mount storage (need to make space on sd card) and b] make a nandroid backup.

e.g. like 4 vol down, trackball press, 2 vol down, trackball = mount usb

thanks, i would really really appreciate it! :)

(i'm on cwm 2.5.0.1 as far as I remember)
[Desire General] dzumagos:
CWM 2.5.0.7 (this is the version that comes when rooting with unrevoked)

Vol UP , Vol UP , trackpad , Vol UP, trackpad ---> mounted USB storage (sdcard)

now press back twice ---> you are back in main menu of CWM

5 x Vol Down, trackpad, trackpad ----> backup started.
[Desire General] brpqzme:
thanks a lot :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sushanth.shetty:
Did anyone succeed in connecting your galaxy I9003 to TV-OUT. Samsung india website says that galaxy sl i9003 doesn't have TV-OUT feature. But I have come across so many comments saying that the phone hardware supports the TV-OUT feature but, software doesn't...some say that the TV-OUT feature is disabled in the firmware of the phone. Why would Samsung do that? :confused: If thats the case, can someone find out the way, to teach samsung a lesson? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blackmarlincode:
From what I heard, kernel support tv out, but sadly, there's no code in firmware,so it would be difficult to do the trick.

Cmiiw
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bajju123:
our device has the ti omap 3630 . it has features like usb on the go and tv out embedded on it ... but sadly there r no drivers for this features, someone has to compile the drivers .

the droid x has the same board .. it has tv out ,so i hope if we can js copy the drivers from that firmwire we cud get tv out ..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sushanth.shetty:
I also heard that our phone will get a tv out feature once we get the Android Gingerbread upgrade. Dont know how far it is true :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] makwanajigneshm:

gingerbread for i9003 is out now and is it possible to make usb on the go and TV out work on our phone?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
While GB isn't released Samsung won't open the sources of GB kernel for i9003. While we don't have sources of kernel developers can't compile support of TV out.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Aamish:
now someone has already uploaded the source code..

can some one please try to make the drivers for tv out..?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gaurav2912:
i'd love to have the tv-out feature on my phone......

its really a shame that even when our hardware supports this feature, samsung wont give it to us

will someone please please please try to enable this feature in a custom rom for all of us
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] darrkangel:
Hi guys is there a solution for the tv out, before buying this phone i checked gsmarena.com and they're saying that our phone supports the tv out plz help i've got so many games that i want to play on a big screen.

Submitted from my samasung galaxy i9003.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
The main problem with our phone is not that it does not have those features which has not given by samsung. The main problem is lack of developer support. We have superb developer like skin, amit but already they are busy with some mods. How can we expect everything from these developers...??? Instead of just requesting here by making new thread, I would suggest to all interested people that u should search whole xda forum especially samsung android section area & find out developers who have implemented same mods that we want on our phones. Then approach them for help & keep in touch with them. And really most of the developers are really good in nature. They will help u with all their capability. Also I suggest that this all needs lot of patience. So we must have patience to have particular mod.

Howdy...new to posting at xda...long time lurker though.

Been a themer on droidforums for a while and started posting here recently due to getting a tbolt for my upgrade. Love the phone.

Also, love Bamf roms...great stuff! I flashed 1.6.3 then gb...then reverted back to das bamf 1.6.3 remix...then this morning 1.7 was out...so I flashed it lol.

Anyway...I do plan on creating a theme...or at least a skin for the Tbolt. I am super busy at the moment though with a lot of things really.

Anyway, I noticed in the duskbamf skin that the common text input selected .9 png was off...causing it to stretch in the wrong place. I noticed this when adding my exchange work mail account. Not a biggie really...just a little pesky..lol.

I fixed it.

So...while I disagree with the 10 post limit to post in the dev forums because more "experienced" users are only going to have permission to post....I am still not at my 10 post limit...so cant even comment about how great the rom is...but hey...whatever..I dont make the rules.

3 more posts to go.

[G2 and Desire Z General] infamousjax:

[G2 and Desire Z General] misfit61871:
no it works fine I just heard about ra and was wondering what the difference was and I have the super wipe + zip on my sd card that's the only wipe I use now.

Plus there hasn't been a nightly today, I'm just itching to flash something lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
I hear ya misfit. A few weeks back we didn't have one for almost a WEEK. I am the same way as you. I just learned to be less vocal about it cause the assholes will come out of the wood works with an attitude and say "Well what do you need it to do that your current nightly doesn't do nah nah ***** *****." Just warning ya lol :) hope we get one soon! Its the first thing I checked for this morning!
[G2 and Desire Z General] misfit61871:
Lol! Ya dude I know exactly what your talking about, I've seen some questions and requests that people have made and then watched them get reamed by all these dicks.I've learned to read through threads before I start asking questions.I actually jumped in on one and defended some one cause people were being really harsh to the guy, calling him names and ****. That's what the forums are for , yes do some checking before you ask questions but you don't need to ridicule people if they do. We were all noobs at some point.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BlueVD:
Sorry to revive this thread, but Amon RA did have a feature that CWM doesn't: that was to remove the ext partition (you would select size=0);

I had a hell of a day because of this: somehow, the Virtuous Unity rom managed to screw up my SDCard (ye ol' unmountable / empty SD card). Nothing would fix that (trying to format it from the phone, etc). I was left with 2 options: get an USB SD card reader (which I couldn't, because I was on a damn business trip) or somehow force the phone to rewrite the partition table (enter clockwork with partition SD). Needless to say that you can't erase the SDExt afterward unless you have a card reader (that business trip comes to mind again). So I had to f**k with fdisk all day long to get the damn card back to normal.

Other than this little feature, CWM is on par with Amon RA IMHO.

[EDIT]

PS: this is my first post after nearly half of year of being AWAL... Can't believe I've lasted so much without XDA...
[Flipside General] PixoNova:
Has CWM been ported to this device yet? Or something like the Droid X recovery?

If so, I'd like to start making a pseudo-ROM of sorts.

If not, I'll start working on making some batch files
[Flipside General] Moto Mouth:
To make a long story short I find if you use Fedya/bootstrapped_recovery, HERE: https://github.com/fedya/bootstrapped_recovery. And you substitute Dexter_nlb's "mot_boot_mode.p2.sh" file from his recovery, HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942160. You have a recovery you can do things with. Just had problems with mounting usb for file transfers, and one or two unmount options. CAUTION... if like me you have a second partition on your sdcard to work with link2sd, it will wipe your second partition. And you'll find that Nandroid works and will backup your second partition but will NOT restore it. But it's progress... I used ubuntu to extract Dexter_nlb's apk. Let me upload the recovery I threw together and I'll post a link. Naturally credit goes to the authors, I did nothing but swap files and pull what's left of my hair out trying to fix what I ultimately couldn't :confused: . The link is on the way...
[Flipside General] Moto Mouth:
Here's the Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?618nl545za0b6ax

Just install like Fedya specified on Github: https://github.com/fedya/bootstrapped_recovery

You got JMJ, right?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:

Check your countries official Samsung website, when its available it will be on news page.

After I saw there was only firmware JMJ in Kies, I told him to update to Stock Kernel 2.3.3.

Now he is so happy.... :)

By the way...

Does the 2.2.1 JMJ Europe Update have a locked bootloader?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kairu1987:
You can check it by the app sgt-bootloader patch
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
We can no longer unlock your bootloader with codes. Please do not ask me or ash for bootloader unlock codes. We can not help you.

This thread is now here for historical purposes representing times when people were free to do what they wanted with their devices. Fsck yourself with a rake, Verizon.

The bootloader has been unlocked. Let's get our freaking root on.

Disclaimer: Read through these instructions in their entirety. If these don't make sense to you, you do not need to be rooting your phone. Nobody here has the time required to teach you how to use cmd in Windows. We will not baby step you through how to use ClockworkMod Recovery. Root is not a mythical land with fairies and unicorns where nothing ever goes bad. If you don't know how to properly install a driver in Windows, you probably don't need an Android device to begin with, let alone a rooted one.

These instructions are intentionally left vague. Do your research on these terms. Understand what you are doing before you do it.

tldr: if you fsck your phone up, it's on you and only you.

Easy Way (YRMV!)

This is by far the easiest method. You will have to read between the lines here. I will not detail all the steps. Please record your experiences in this thread and let me know how it all goes! We're all still learning. This is basically copied from Bin4ry's CWMR Thread so thanks go to him! The easy steps below assume a lot of basic knowledge steps. Like unlocking the bootloader. If you're unsure of what to do, you probably shouldn't be doing it.

Download the CWM recovery from multiupload

Boot off of that file (DO NOT FLASH): fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img

Copy this to your memory card and flash it with the booted recovery

Reboot and test root

Second Method: Advanced User Instructions

Unlock your bootloader. Check out Ash's thread: thread

Download Doom's all in one kernel from here

Use fastboot to "hot boot" the kernel: fastboot boot boot.img

Your phone may or may not boot. It doesn't matter. Let it be for a while, then power it off.

Doom's kernel will have rooted your stock system.

If You're On A Mac...

Or maybe just need some general help with some more detailed insturctions than are labeled here, check out the awesome post that Cubsfan3493 made for everyone. He's even got a downloadable PDF with pictures. Go give him some thanks at his post!

Is the R800x running 2.3.2 or 2.3.3. There's reports that Gingerbreak and alternatives are no longer working in 2.3.3.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
It's running 2.3.2 right now. OTA updates say its up to date. I'm trying to figure out if I'm just having a generic issue with the breaks (like memory cards for example) or if Verizon maybe patched the exploit in their 2.3.2 build.

I'm guessing it's something they fixed in the final Verizon build before release. Curious... What's your build #? Mine is 3.0.A.2.184.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mozza2k11:
Yes i think verizon fixed the exploit gingerbreak uses before releasing the handset in the usa. When i was on build number 3.0.A.2.184 (uk xplay R800i) it rooted in like 30 seconds.

But in the new update 3.0.1.A.0.145 the exploit has been fixed. So all devices around the world have been left unrootable (for now :D) the devs will figure away out.

I think the uk version 2.3.3 build 3.0.1.A.0.145 has been rooted (for unlocked bootladers) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098736 So if your bootloader is unlocked soon it maybe possible. If its locked your stuck waiting with the rest of us for a rooting method on locked devices.
[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
I saw you updated from another post, did you lose root access after the update?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
build number - 3.0.E.2.89

A shame they didn't let us all have unlocked bootloaders.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mozza2k11:
Yes i did. But the fixes added in the update are worth loosing root, for the time being :). Being unable to root only applies to people with a locked bootloader. But im guessing devs from the arc and play forum are possibly looking for ways to root with a locked bootloader
[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
Yeah I have the option to unlock my bootloader but don't want to just yet. I'll hold off on the update until a new version of gingerbreak arrives :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
For the record, it seems like the bootloader is unlockable on the R800x. Fastboot is totally accessible by the same means and the oem unlock command is recognized, the phone is responsive, it's just looking for a key, the same as the GSM counterpart. The only difference is that the Verizon version doesn't have an IMEI (or does it.... since it does have a sim card slot....), just an ESN. So obviously you can't obtain an unlock key from this number.
[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
Wonder if you pop a pre-paid SIM in the slot (or try a friend's AT&T/T-Mobile SIM) and disabled the CDMA radio if you could get an IMEI to pop up on the keypad using *#06#. Might work? I have no clue... and you'd still have to send it to SE and hope they clear it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
I have a few SIMs here that I could try. Ill see what I come up with in a little bit. My gut is telling me that Verizon probably has the SIM slot firmware disabled. Thats only because they havn't officially mentioned it anywhere. In fact, the slot itself is actually hidden by a piece of plastic that you have to remove. One wouldnt have any idea it was there unless you were looking for it and even then you feel like you're breaking your phone to access it.

I also considered hooking it up to QPST to see if it would grab some serial numbers out of the device. Can anyone confirm if this is a qualcomm chip inside the phone?
