Captivate, anyone?

Anyone know if it works on the Samsung Captivate? I'd be willing to test it out if no one has, but I'd need to know what kind of things I should expect if it goes wrong.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Faramir82:
It worked for me but like everybody else my MMS is now jacked. Really hope somebody finds a fix for this soon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CultClassic:
I have an HTC Inspire 4G, unrooted, Android version 2.2.1.

Long story short, my phone will now install from uknown sources WITHOUT having that option available under Settings -> Applications. MMS works as well with no problem.

Is that a normal occurrence after performing this exploit and factory resetting a couple of times?

The details:

I followed the directions, and sure enough, my phone was able to install from unknown sources. However, I decided that I did not like not being able to send MMS.

I performed a factory reset, and tried once again to use the exploit. I figured that since I'd already performed a reset, I wouldn't be losing much anyway if I had to do it again. Of course, as soon as I used the exploit, I needed to send someone a picture. Needless to say I reset the phone again.

I decided to use SWM to install the Amazon app market and the Swype installer. I needed to lend the computer I was using to a coworker, so without thinking, I unplugged my phone. I had been downloading the Swype apk with the installer while doing so. My phone continued on to install the Swype package, despite not having 'Unknown Sources' option available, much less checked.

Has anyone else had this happen?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enzola:
That doesn't sound much like a miracle...did you try it with another unknown apk?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CultClassic:
I also installed Grooveshark, as well as some applications from the Amazon app market, and all of them have installed with no issue. I know for a fact that I was not able to install them before yesterday, when I used this trick. I'm thinking it's less a miracle, and more a glitch.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkztg:
data will be deleted.... ??

Just a quick question for anyone who has done this to an Aria with 2.2 upgrade ROM from AT&T...

When selecting "Clear Data" on the Customization Settings Provider the warning of, " All of this application's data will be deleted permanently. This includes all files, settings, accounts, databases and so on."

What exactly does this do to the phone other that the MMS? This is my wife's phone and while she would like to get the Amazon App Store she (and I) would rather not have to reconfigure the phone back to the way she likes it.

She doesn't use MMS so that isn't a factor but email settings, browser favorites, or active wallpaper (she found one she really likes)... Would those possibly be affected?

Thanks for any feedback and I am glad to see an option to "fix" our phones out there now since AT&T is so slow.

I used SuperOneClick on my Inspire before I heard about this and it worked fine for my Inspire to install the Amazon App store.

Again - thank you very much for this thread.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enzola:
This would just change your wallpaper as far as I know.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkztg:
Thanks enzola. That should be simple enough to put back... Thanks again in advance for this fix.

Still no MMS

I like unknown sources, and I thought I could really go without MMS until there was a solution. Now I'm getting desperate for a solution, but It seems I'm going to have to go the reset route.

Any news on how ATT is coming along sending us the unknown sources choice? Should I be so lucky as to reset and have ATT's fix at the same time?

How do I restart the phone w/o powering down?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] droidbabyxda:
Thank you for this... been with AT&T tech all day long trying to get this sideload update. Geezz!! I also could not send MMS on my Inspire after this exploit.

Anyway, just a quick noob question... the AT&T rep told me I can send back my phone and exchange it with a new one because I could not get the push update. Since I did use the exploit, and it works (thank God!) do you think I should still send my phone back? Will there be future problems with my phone because of this? I'm still on my 30 days buyers remorse time limit. I'm just kinda iffy. Oh, she made me do a factory reset so everything that I customized, downloaded, etc. is gone too. :mad:

I know it is my decision but I'd like to hear from somebody who knows what they are doing. I wasn't planning on rooting my phone til maybe a year (run out of warranty), if it helps.

Thanks!!!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enzola:
You can still send it back if you want. You wont get penalized for doing this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bobbypty:
IT WORKS!

Just followed the instructions and voila. Didn't lose the MMS since I live in Panama and we do not have that carrier. The only thing weird that happened was that the wallpaper went back to the stock HTC one but other than that it works.

I am just waiting more hoping for the official Gingerbread OTA
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enzola:
Yeah that will happen when you do it but it's not an issue if you restart your phone you can change it again so there are no worries.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akaivyleaf:
Reverse this

Is there anyway to reverse this unlock? Like a toggle?

I know how to enable Unknown Sources using these steps. But I want to go back to my previous state. The only way to go back is a complete reset? I'm frustrated now with the MMS issue :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enzola:
Unfortunately what you are doing when you clear the data is erasing the configured options for your phone to unlock the option and by doing that modifying the MMS and erasing the configured settings for it and the only way to get ththat back is to factory reset it to receive the configured settings again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] firefighter512:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phanindrak:
Nice info. I don't think I'll be doing this soon, though.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] traps86:
before i try this,does it disable mms on of the phone models?thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enzola:
Yes it does
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ghent96:
Since opening up this "allow unknown sources" option involves deleting a config file, or deleting settings in a config file, it seems like it would be a lot easier & safer to just go into the same config file, and instead ADD the line that opens up the unknown sources. Hasn't anyone tried that yet, instead?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OscarIGZ:
Have you found a solution to the MMS problem I've been having it for quite a while and can't manage to fix it. Hope you find a solution.

So has anyone booted a stock phone with only AAHK root/cwm and done a backup then did this trick and then performed another backup to compare the two??

I am contemplating doing this as I need to fix a google apps crash that wont stop crashing :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jpeloquin:
No, I haven't. I did just use this on a freshly updated HTC Aria (2.2) though, since I don't have a data plan on it, and AT&T killed the OTA update that added the "unknown sources" option anyway. Worked perfectly... although I did notice the stock HTC wallpapers got nuked in the process. Don't care, as it's a test device, but thought I'd mention for peeps using this device as a daily driver.

Happy hacking!

HTC Aria, it worked! But how do I restart my phone without shutting it down? Googling it only brought up results for a hard reset...
[HTC Sensation] drTestPilot:
Is this phone powerful enough to play Full HD videos? 1080p?

If it is, could you play smoothly YouTube 1080p rips? High bit rate .mkv files?

And what player you use for full HD playback?
[HTC Sensation] abuserkadayf:
dont think it will... altough i can play 720p mkv very smoothly with Diceplayer !! did test a couple 1080p which wasnt that smooth....altough i heard that converting into .mp4 results into much better playback because of native support
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Of course it can play 1080p videos.

Using the standard Gallery, it can play the 1080p videos that the camcorder records, and it can (so far) play any 1080p MP4 video that I put on the SD-Card or stream from my media server.

There will be some file formats that it won't play, of course, but that's a problem with the format rather than the resolution.

It will also play 1080p MP4 videos through my Sony Bravia TV via DLNA.
[HTC Sensation] drTestPilot:
abuserkadayf, sjgore, thank you.

sjgore, I see you got HTC Desire too. And it have trouble playing some 720p mkv, never been able to make it play any 1080p. MoboPlayer is the best all around player from point of format support, speed and UI. But there is like a dozen players that based on FFmpeg library around(VPlayer, QQplayer, VitalPlayer, RockPlayer etc...). Was wondering if new generation of hardware is able to support 1080p to the point that there is no need to **** mind about how fast particular video player and choose one solely based on convenience of use and price...
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Never tried 1080p on my Desire. 720p was fine, including 720p videos taken using the camcorder in CM6 (720p wasn't in CM7 for some reason).

I haven't even tried any 3rd party players from the Market on the Sensation yet, everything so far has been achieved with what comes built into the phone (ie. just Gallery).
[HTC Sensation] juami:
Camcorder 720p clip are H.264 720p Baseline. 1st gen. snapdradon ( QSD8260 ) can play 720p Baseline profile.

but most of 720p/1080p movies are H.264 High profile level 3~5.

If file format is MP4(H.264+AAC), stock player can play .

Many of HD movies are MKV/AVI format and audio codec is AC-3(5.1ch) or DTS or Flac.

ffmpeg base player can not play HD ( 720p/1080p ). Decoding & rendering need too much CPU power.

If you want to play HD(with DTS/AC-3/FLAC + MKV/AVI) clips, use diceplayer.

There's nothing wrong with the IE in WP7. That's an error in the website's code. That's a problem with so many different browsers being out. Different browsers display pages differently. It's the web developers job to test their code in multiple browsers to make sure they display properly.

Triskite, have you tried Quicksettings? It's free in the Market. Quicksettings is very handy and has a button to turn mobile data on and off. I know you asked for a widget, but Quicksettings is so useful, I tought I'd mention it.

To switch 4G on and off I use LTE Switch by Geoffrey Buttercrumbs. It's not a widget, but works like one. All it does is open the built in Mobile network settings screen where you would normally switch LTE off. Just saves a few clicks, but it is handy.
[LG Revolution] Triskite:

mclock can be a huge pain.

-You have to make a folder on SD card called mClock

-Then unzip the file into the mclock folder

-Then click on the xml file and check to make sure the path to the background image is correct, usually it is off because it is missing one of the folders (you can edit it in es file explorer, not sure on any others cuz i have never used them)

When i did it and check the xml file, the path was wrong to get to the folder with the background image
