[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pride_forever:
Hi xda, i bought Samsung Galaxy S5670 Fit as my first android device and i m not very familiar to android handling. Well i m here to ask how can i upgrade my Device from froyo to gingerbread. My friend told me how to root using superoneclick rooting and i have successfully rooted the phone. Next step he told me was to install ROM manager and Flash ClockWorkMod recovery to backup my froyo apps and setting and everything. I tried to flash ClockWorkMod but it failed since i don't have any 3g/wifi connection to my device. Now i need help that how can i back up my Froyo ROM (incase i brick my phone during upgrade) and get firmware and all the necessary file for the upgrade. So far i know that gingerbread is available only in europe version (i m from asia) and only thing i need to do after upgrading to 2.3 is to change language. Can i get some guidance to backup my froyo rom for recovery and upgrade to gingerbread?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:
it(gb 2.3) is available trough kies
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vishwanathptl:
dont try to install clockworkmod recovery in G-FIT. its not available for this mobile.

U can download gingerbread rom from samfirmware.com and use odin to flash this firmware.

And u can also download froyo rom from the same site but u cant get asia rom as it is not available.

And important i am not sure it is possible to install froyo after installing gingerbread.

I am not telling its not possible, but i dont know.

And gingerbread have many bugs. Its not final release.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shuriknandroid:
i have a S5670 too...is it safe n possible 2 upgrade it 2 gb 2.3 (i seriously dont wana brick it:) )...also is da upgrade worth it ,i heard der isnt much diff betwn froyo n gb except fr da keyboard
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ingbrzy:
There is firmware S5670XXKPG with Android 2.3.4 at samfirmware.com... you can download and flash it with no problems...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vishwanathptl:
yes u can upgrade to GB without any prob and yes there are no diff btwn froyo and gb visually. both r same. But performance wise gb is gud and many GB features are dissabled by samsung. and its testing version and the first version. its not final. So it is having many bugs.

download the GB rom from samfirmware and flash using odin. try it. if u want to get back to froyo, just download the 2.2.1 froyo version rom from same site and flash using odin.

Confirmed on android spin. I hope we get 2.3 for the vibrant, or the Hercules by then. Surely T-Mobile isn't going to be beat to the punch by this.
[Vibrant General] ipetloudog:
Dont hold ur breath on the whole vibrant 2.3 thing.

I dont think we will be seeing it anytime soon, or at all.

Nextgen. Overstock. Tacos. Awesome.
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
I think they'll end up realeasing the Hercules around July, 2.3 should b out for vibrant by then I think also. If T-Mobile doesn't take forever with it that is...
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
We're getting it for sure. I'd expect it by mid July at the earliest.
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
Some "respectable" android news sites are still expecting a tmobile GS2 (maybe the hercules, but the rumors are that won't release until september).

If everyone remembers, Tmobile was originally thought to be the carrier MOST likely to get it, now because of a leaked website and FCC everyone expects to not see it.

Personally I am hoping that one will show up about the same time everyone else gets one, but I am not holding my breath. I am also expecting Hercules not to come out until september, at which point we will probably have that dangled in front of our eyes while leaks of tegra3 phones start popping up for early 2012...

Personally I don't know what is enough of a phone, my vibrant won't play multiplayer dungeon defenders well so it doesn't cut it.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
I really want SGS2, but i guess ill have to get a hercules. Hercules will launch with gingerbread and im running cm7 2.3.4 so im happy with my vibrant for now.!

but i'm worried about battery life.

Im hoping the hercules cpu and glue compare favorably to sgs2 battery life most of all. Don't know if its hardware or ginger bread but sgs2 seem to sip juice
[Optimus One, P500, V General] tsk1979:
I am having a strange problem with incoming calls.

The voice quality is very bad with the other persons voice being "metallic".

However, no such problems in outgoing calls, and other people can hear my voice fine.

I called up my network operator, and they tell me I need to switch off "Clear voice" setting in my phone.

However, I went through all settings, and there is actually nothing with this name.

So is there such a setting?

If not, can I try upgrading to latest firmware. Actually, I have not updated my froyo (I am still on 10b), as I do not want to loose capability of rooting.

I think latest is 2.2.2 (10e). I am not sure if its rootable.

Any ideas?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
I don't think there is such option in optimus one, try to switch to 3g network if you use 2g, but compared with other phones my optimus one output sound quality is bad. I don't think that you can do anything but if you find a way to improve sound quality let me know.

do you experience background static noise? because I cand hear a background buzzing noise everytime the sound is on.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Ask to talk to someone technically savvy who knows WTH are they talking about next time. There is no such thing anywhere and frankly I do not recall any mobile phone that would have such thing like "clear voice".
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sholimar:
2g and 3g have nothing to do with voice quality... oh, and the background static is a bug of all O1s, unfortunately.

Voice quality is dependent on the price of the device, so a budget phone generally means poorer quality... only Nokia had perfect reception on their low-end models... just my 2 cents. :-)

Maybe that operator got his features mixed-up and he was referring to HD Voice - I know Orange launched it in a few countries, but that's a whole other thing.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Ah, speaking of HD Voice, do you think devices NOT bought from Orange could use it? :confused:

Also, have you noticed that, during calls, there seems to be some form of noise reduction going on? If the person you are talking to is in a quiet(er) environment, and they stop talking, the speaker goes completely silent, whereas when they are talking you can hear the normal (IMO) GSM background noises.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sholimar:
Actually, many devices support it at this time, since it's a codec-related thing and not a hardware one (and it's not proprietary to Orange, it's a standard that will be implemented in time)... It's rather tricky to make an assumption about your O1, since I really have no clue if the appropriate codecs are included on our phones, if they are activated etc.; just ask someone from Orange (although I'm sure that most will not know the answer).

Here's a very interesting article detailing HD voice tech, written by Eldar Murtazin: http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2010/hd-voice-en.shtml.

Yeah, that's normal, I have encountered it on many phones... it's probably related to the passive noise cancellation algorithms our devices use (where they try to make out what part of the sound received in the mic is the voice and which one is the ambient background). It's a really long discussion, since when the mic receives a sound lower than X dB it cuts it out, then as soon as it detects a more powerful sound it applies a kind of gain (hence the static) and so on.

Oh, note that these are all more like educated guesses, but I think they're pretty correct.

Now, with active noise cancellation... well, that's just another world! (I had the pleasure of a few conversations with a phone that supported it) :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] tsk1979:
There is no static.

Its just that, from some networks(not all) when I get incoming call, the voice is "metallic" and keeps breaking, even when signal is full.

So its impossible to have a conversation.

I guess its a problem with my network operator then.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] predragiPredrag:
In Hidden Menu (3845#*500#), under

DEVICE TEST->SOUND TEST-> VOCODER are the settings that affect noise reduction and bad call quality but I do not know what parameter disables sound processing on calls.

Also on page no.55 in service manual, there is this text and I hope that it can be useful to someone with greater knowledge to change parameters and turn off noise suppression, and that stupid hiiiisss sound during call.

Hey guys, I have a question about a fc issue with my wifes TB. Probably 9/10 times she opens the stock messaging app it fc on her before she even does anything. She has maybe 2 or 3 apps dl. I've searched and cnt find anything on this problem. Also having issues with a lag on boot. The screen freezes for a few seconds after the TB animation. If anyone could help me figure out the reason for this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Not sure why anyone would really need these versus a debloated ROM, but here they are. These are the stock ROMs, just deodexed and zip aligned. They won't flash the kernel, only system.

Download - ED1

Download - ED2

Download - EE4
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Updated OP with deodexed EE4 :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] asenduk:
will you be releasing a debloated ee4?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Yes, slowly working on getting the debloated ROM updated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jami2976:
Can I flash this in odin with lagfix enabled???? Rooted my charge last night worked great, woke up this morning and stuck on samsung logo
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
No, these are meant to be flashed in CWM and you will want to have Voodoo disabled before flashing any of the packages here.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
Ok im so glad you posted these, imnuts. These files basically got my baseband modems back.?
[Verizon Droid Charge] californiarailroader:
Does the EE4 include the new Radio? Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jessberto:
Doing this gets rid of root?

This will put back to factory correct?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Deodexed factory, which isn't stock. These are primarily for anyone looking to create a ROM, or looking for a particular file, or files, that aren't in a ROM. That, or someone who is fine with Stock, but would like to use a theme.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
No, you need the real stock ROMs here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108115
[Verizon Droid Charge] BeefJerky9:
Unfortunately, I have an issue with the EE4 deodexed ROM, and it is reproducible.

After installing it for the first time, I get an error in CWM stating "Can't mount /sdcard." Reflashing CWM with ODIN did not fix the issue. Note that on this install, I had installed the PBJ kernel prior to installing this deodexed ROM.

At this point, I had to restore the full stock ED2 and do the OTA to EE4. This time I installed this deodexed EE4 first, rather than installing the kernel first to see if that made a difference. After installing this deodexed EE4 once again, it went back to the default android recovery. After reinstalling CWM, I once again got the same error of "Can't mount /sdcard." This is a problem since I am no longer able to do any updates in CWM.

This EE4 deodexed ROM will boot, but I have problems accessing the SD card when hooked to the computer. It can't read many files, and won't write at all. I have no problems accessing the SD card outside of this ROM.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Droid Charge] scamish76:
I have the same problem. Does anyone have a solution to this issue?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
you could try mounting it manually in CWM under the mounts and storage option
[Verizon Droid Charge] scamish76:
unfortunately this didnt work. I decided to use imnuts debloated rom and then downloaded the deodexed rom for the apks that i wanted to install. This method seemed to fix the sdcard issue. I'm curious as to why flashing the deodexed rom would affect the scdard while the debloated rom works???

Thank you for helping anyway.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
if I'm not mistaken the deodexed roms were early packages that had an sd card write issue, the debloated one should include the fix, hence no issues

Hi ,

I'm new Android user .

I installed some games such as avatar , Gangestar and NFS Shift . but my phone cannot run them . there is some problem in displaying this games . i see some thing and some people and some cars white . my android's version is 2.3 .

Please help me . :confused::confused:

Probably, it doesn't meet the hardware requirements of the games you tried. It's just 1 GHz processor after all.
[HTC Incredible S] mohammadibe:
So what can i do ?

Incredible s can support most gameloft games. Furthermore the highest end of Qualcomm is at snapdragon series. Try redownloading the game data. Please do not talk as if 1ghz cannot support these games. Many lesser models can support them.
[HTC Incredible S] mohammadibe:
OK , thanks .

Does anyone install these games on his incredible s ?
[HTC Incredible S] technician-2s:
I use the games myself. Just install the app without the SD cache and allow the game to download that itself.
[HTC Incredible S] djroobs:
why you people all talking foolish..like 1ghz incredible s not running these games...lol...probably it's your first time to run an android device.....alright... re flash your device with official ROM..and make sure you 'r running exact apk for the game and having SD data for exact apk...

coz all kind of apks will be working in your phone if it got SD files correctly...and for new gameloft games.you must need WiFi to verify the SD files..without WiFi they wont be running ...just need WiFi for the first run... no need WiFi to play for the next time..

I love my phone and all but in all honesty, return the phone and get the htc sensation or lg g2x. Much much better phones at the same price that are also a little more future proof than this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
Same price? I got my SGS4G on flex pay for 50$.

EDIT: Once CM7 comes to our phones it will be future proof. Hell the G1 has 2.2.1 on it thanks to CM.

Hell I have gingerbread running smooth on my old g1that I still play with thanks to COS-DS. Runs good on the g1 actually...check the g1 dev forum if you still have one of those phones.

And yeah the g2 is a nice phone for its form factor. If you like a physical keyboard it has a really nice one. But the with g2x be careful. There are reports of alot of hardware problems, screen problems and other issues. Read up on the g2x before jumping in to that one.

B. For Enterprise level Cisco VPN clients used by corporations to portal behind their firewalls for their mobile employees, is Android capable of that level of operation as well.

Hi,

I am making an eBook Android App for a Client.

The idea is simple, it's a Kindle like app development where the user will get an application and a ebook in a encrypted format and the ebook can only be opened by the reader

The basic implementations are done, I was requiring to have the option to Annote the text and tables (Highlight, underline, strike through).

Something like what we have in Repligo

Is there any way this can be implemented. If would be a great help
[Android Software Development] Theonew:
About only the reader (yours) opening the ebook... this can be done if you create a new format only readable by your reader or using a format which is sort of "unknown" and not able to be read by other ebook readers. Good luck in your project.

Very insightful post. I got the G2x on the 20th of April, launch day, after downloading No LED the next day my phone shut off and I had to do a battery pull to get it back up and running. After I removed the No LED App I didn't have another freeze up or reboot for a couple of weeks. I've generally not had any problems since. I've had about three instances of freezing/reboots since I've purchased the G2x and otherwise it has performed excellently. It seemed obvious to me that the NoLED App was the culprit.
