Can anybody please repost this skin, the link is not working.

thanks

I have it. I just don't have anywhere other than dropbox to upload my skins to. So I don't know what to do.

Upload the skin to your public folder and post the link to download.

Do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Earl:
I've got everything backed up with the appmonster.

Will this be adequate prep for flashing a ROM?

Are the backup files stored on the external SD card?

Is it easy to retrieve your apps after flashing the ROM?

I gather only the internal SD and phone memory will be reformatted.

I'm I ready to go flashing?:eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kleingy:
Check the App Monster's description at AppBrain (and the program's settings of course, where did your phone saved the needed files)...:cool:

Did you saved the SMS and call log? And what about Titanium Backup? Have you ever tried it? ;)

Did you download all the needed files before doing ROM change?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
I would say that when you can answer these questions yourself, then maybe you are ready to flash roms. Do not rush in, read plenty, get familiar with the lingo, procedures, ways to salvage a bad flash etc etc....when you are comfortable then proceed. Read all the faqs, then when you need help people will be far more helpful.

Also make sure you have 3 button d/l mode.....and enjoy! It is addictive, fun and harmless! Welcome :)

10:10 point, you are right. :D

When somebody have no further questions, he is ready to flashing (I was in the same situation some month before).

Reading, reading, and do everything as it is written. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Earl:
I tried Titanium Backup, but it says I gotta ROOT first. I was going to try to ROOT and ROM in one go with the Darky's ROM v10.1.

Monster saved all the apps, I have to study about whether the contacts and logs were backed up too.

I'm just a little confused about what exactly happens when you flash a ROM.

The way I understand it it's like reformatting and reinstalling the OS on a PC.

Where I'm confused is about the internal SD card. Does that get affected? I know the external SD doesn't experience anything.

One my complications is that I don't have a PC, and have to borrow one to get the flashing done.

I've been considering a netbook. But I want to run Unbutu and not windows!

I used to have a windows partition on my MacBook but I ran out of space for it. I hardly ever used it.

I was hoping getting the SGS would get me away from PC's and Mac's.

I guess a cheap netbook wont kill me; and sparing 30Gs for a windows partition now wont be such a bit deal with these nifty 320-500G hardrives out there now.

Maybe I should just have someone slap a fancy 500G drive with flash ram in the MacBook then problem solved.:cool:

Fark but I'm also getting old and lazy.:rolleyes:

Maybe I'll just wait and study this all a bit more. The phone works pretty well with Froyo anyway. The only real issue is that it eats up the battery fairly fast.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
eclair was never officially released for the dream/sapphire platform.

Cyanogen (as indicated) did make a working port.. the problem was there was a bug that caused yaffs problems in CM5.0.8, as well as a text display bug.

Thus why when I made the 2708+ port of cm5.0.8 I included some fixes:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11435-old-stable-cm-508-2708-port/

if you don't have the new radio 2708+ radio try flashing the port above followed by the ebi0 port of the kernel at .. I think that will work but I've not tested it :/

HI

I will get my TB in next few days. (thank god, I finally get rid of my Droid 2)

the more thread I read, more thoughts in my mind. So I need some good advice.

I'm a real heavy user. (surf on net, GPS nevigation......etc)

I want to extend the time I use my TB. So I'm going to get some extended batteries for sure. BUT problem is.....what kind of batteries is good for me?

OEM batteries or seidio brand? And what Mah should I get?

Does oem batteries cause bad influence? (like my TB wont have normal function in the future)

And If I get some extended batteries, I will get the cover for it as well.

Will it cause the signal reception?

Yep, I know my problem is dumb. Cause I can't really accept any smart phone can't last a full day sage. (like my droid 2):confused:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jakaro:
I use the HTC 2750 battery, and i get through all day fine. on light usage i get down to about %70 on heavy down to %40ish.

Be weary of OEM batteries with extended covers, ive heard some do not have the antenna built in. The radio signal antenna is located in that cover, so if you get one that is missing the antenna, you will have no service.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
I would recommend the HTC extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] distortedloop:
To the OP - I've been using the HTC b2750 and case for a while, but I'm getting tired of its bulk and switching back to the stock phone battery and a spare.

With the TBolt and most of my other phones, I just slip a spare stock sized battery into the pocket of my wallet and swap batteries mid-day if I'm not any place where I can get some boost charges during the day. The batteries on the Thunderbolt are very thin; I really don't notice one in my wallet.

Doesn't OEM mean "Original Equipment Manufacturer"? That would mean an OEM product is one made by HTC, whether it's sold under HTC's name or another 3rd party's brand name.

Either way, the advice is sound, make sure you're getting a quality product that has all the working parts. I recently bought some 3rd party spare batteries for the Nexus S that were labelled as 1400mah (like the OEM) but when you peeled off the 3rd party label the batteries were only 1100mmah! Always buy from a reputable dealer.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] pmdied:
I wear a clip holster and bought the extended battery along with the seidio extended battery case. Perfect match up for me.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] elir41:
I would choose the OEM HTC extended battery. I have it now and I get by all day on it. Usually by 10 pm, I'm around 30%.

I've had a Seidio extended battery for the Incredible and wasn't impressed by it. I believe it was the 1750 mah? While the stock was around 1400, I couldn't tell a difference between the two.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] eraursls1984:
The best thing you could do is to root it and run dad bamf stripped v1.1. I use the stock kernel and get 2 to 3 times the battery life as stock, Imoseyon's lean kernel with battery saver may even give better battery life but I haven't tried it yet.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] brian0488:
I'm going back and forth between the Seidio 3200 and the HTC 2750. I think I'm going to get the HTC 2750 battery tomorrow... I just hate the face that after spending $250 on a phone I have to spend another $50 to get close to the battery life specs posted on HTC and VZW's websites...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] BennyJr:
Most people in this section will say get the HTC battery. I'm actually going to probably get a mugen power slim battery. I've been looking up on them and they seem to be pretty good.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] g00s3y:
If you are a heavy user, you will love the 2750 HTC Extended battery, I got it, would say i'm a moderate to heavy user, and i can get 30-40 hours out of it. I love it :cool:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] xgonzox:
I initially didn't like the bulk of the 2750 extended battery especially after putting the seidio active case on it but after playing around with the stock battery I now prefer the contour fit in my hand with the extended battery. The biggest downsize now is the weight. This thing is heavy but well worth the weight.

My advice is to order it from verizon. Call up and request a discounted price, I paid 20 for mine.

I would go with the HTC 2750.... I got it and it comes with the contacts for antenna

I ordered a 1700 battery that fits in orignal back. It is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'll let everyone know the results...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] stopswitch:
Do not use trash batteries. Stick with OEM batteries made by HTC. The 2750mah battery is fine.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rjtoudouze:
I purchased a 3500 battery from Amazon with the cover and it does NOT have the antenna in the cover. I get a 3G signal but no 4G. Sending it back today.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] boristhebladexx:
i got one on ebay for $10, the pictures indicated it has the metal contacts in the battery cover. hong kong express mail, delivery july 15th at the soonest -_____-
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Sakabaka:
OEM 2750 for sure. Like some of the other people in this thread have stated, third party batteries just have risks associated with them, and the potential benefits usually aren't worth it.

But if you do decide that the OEM one is too much, just make sure you don't get the ebay offbrand batteries. Most ebay batteries that are advertised as "extended" and sound too good to be true (i.e., 3 batteries at 1800mAh + charger for < $20) usually are, and have actually less capacity than stock.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] feinanusa:
After a few days.......

:cool:

I start with stock battery in the beginning.

Gingeritis rom installed. Battery was really bad for first 2 days.

Lost 10% per hour.That's bad.

After 2 full days usage, battery life gets better, It can last half day.

Today. I got my htc oem battery from verizon.:cool:

Amazing battery life. 100% for sure.

I think there should be no problem with battery life now.

My TB is really great now.

the reason why I choose 2750 battery is you guys can see that the cover get more dmg with times you open (switch battery). So I deside not to open it too often. I think it is a right choice now.

BTW, before you go to eaby, go to verizon store, give them your accout to check discount. ebay doesnt mean the lowest price. I got my battery+cover with 40+tax. :eek:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Deltaechoe:
or you can save some money and just buy a bunch of cheaper batteries off of amazon or ebay, they will be the same capacity as the standard battery but you will have more

[Thunderbolt Accessories] HuskyHog:
Hey OP--

You could always go the route that I do-- Buy an extra battery and an external charger. I just walk around with a second battery in my pocket. Twice the charge and you don't have to get one of the larger batteries.

It does take a lot of macro to keep it charged, but you get used to it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] BartJJ:
I ordered my extended battery yesterday, I chose the HTC one personally, it was a few $ cheaper and it is probably gonna be the better of the two when it comes to having the charge its advertised to have. Also, if you want an extra extended after you buy one with the back included someone on Amazon is selling the extended battery minus the back that comes with it for like $20 or so.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ANDR0lD:
I'm the king of batteries....I have 2 stock OEM, 2 amazon 1700s that came with external charger and two days I just got my Extended 2750 OEM from HTC. My experience has been that the stock and amazons provide same amount for me as a heavy user ( about 12 hours ea.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] NeoNxz:
hey guys,

I bought one of those "1800 mah" batteries on ebay for ten bucks, total ripoff. doesn't charge past 1400mah and has worse drain then my stock HTC battery. Even cycled it 7 times, and did all the "charge and recharge" turn off, charge, tricks.

Ordered a 3200mah seidio battery. will let u know what I think.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] NeoNxz:
by the way I run BAMF Stripped 1.8 Froyo...and just installed the Immoyagen lean kernel..will let u know if i show any increases/decreaes in battery life.

Id like it if they stated what the mah for this is. For $50 that's the kind of info I need for throwing yet another $50 at my phone
[Thunderbolt Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Let me know how this goes. I might be in the market for a second less cheap extended battery. And to answer your question, I'm sure the case should fit
[Thunderbolt Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
To the OP, if u want great battery life......buy a Mugen 4500mAh HTC Extended Battery :D

I purchased the extended barry from verizon and I also bought the hard extended battery with clip from verizon, it looks and feels really nice and battery life is amazing, I def recommend it to all thunderbolt users.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] northmont30096:
We have a soft silicone case that fits the generic battery or your generic battery with the "Premier" sticker on it. The HTC 2750 cover is almost exactly the same and our case also fits the HTC cover but the kickstand hits the case only if you're using the HTC case..it fits the generic perfectly.

So far only Black is on Amazon until we get the other UPC's approved or you can find us on ebay. Not hard to find or search for we're the only case currently made for the generic extended battery..the moulds are very expensive :)

All great feedback with the exception of the blue color is a horrible blue and I'm thinking about pulling that listing..it's more of a purple than it is a blue I hate it. LOL
[Thunderbolt Accessories] kingofyo1:
xXJay_RXx, northmont30096 the seidio active extended fit perfectly. The premier is giving me about a day of battery life, but i'm draining quicker due to rom switch and not having perfected the battery drain on it yet. Just also switched to cm7 rc 1.1 on mr2.5 which could have something to do with it. Loving the feel and look of the active extended as well. the locking kickstand works perfectly, and makes it able to stand your tbolt up in any position whereas the stock kickstand can only do the one way, or standing vertical. this allows you to have the tbolt laying on right side, left side, upside down, or right side up. 5 * definitely
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ghrubi:
Running stock battery with:

Rooted running eaton rom v1.7 by GTP. Some of the beta tests claim 24 to 30 hours of moderate use. I'm also running Zeam Launcher which is lean and easy on the battery. My testing over only the last couple of days under somewhat light use, leave me with roughly 30% left after 15 hours off charger. Time will tell if this level of performance sustains.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] voxigenboy:
just in case i didn't say it yet...

Mugen 4500mAh extended battery
[Thunderbolt Accessories] BennyJr:
This is a cool concept but it doesnt make much sense. It makes your phone bigger thenn the extended battery does and for what? The same life as an extended battery? And plus its just used to charge the phone. I could see the phone getting so hot in that tight case.

Wow! I'm not a techie person like you but the way you explained it I kinda get the idea.. I'm very thankful for people like you who share their knowledge to educate us so we can come up with a decision whether to buy sgs2 or not. I'm looking forward to upgrade my Samsung i8910hd to sgs2 come July, and I'm researching in the forums to check the users' feedback as to their personal experience with their new sgs2.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
As said above, I'm not a techie (Not as much as the OP anyway :o) though am also grateful for people who post up tech info like this.

To the 2nd poster.... Ignore negative comments given by a lot of users, regardless of whatever bugs may be present, the S2 is an amazing phone and you will not be disappointed!

People are too quick too moan, yet don't talk about the plus sides :D
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Thank you for the time and energy you put in to explaining this. It's sometimes hard to participate in certain technical conversations/threads because there are so many moving parts and so many different theories. This thread is refreshing.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
But there's still very noticeable banding on 888. Less than 565 but there still is. So the banding problem really exists.
[Galaxy S II General] deanwray:
Read the post and instructions fully, along with expected results!! Cause if your talking about angry birds bg, then I explained that! So no1 knows what your on about unless your precise. I've yet to find a problem with anyones display in this manner, thats not to say there may not be a first, but you have to be clear and read properly, then I would look to do some proper display test apps.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
I read everything. With Xda Gradtest the green has the banding issue, so yes maybe our eyes are more sensible to it, but that doesn't excuse it & the problem exists, the green banding on a larger scale can be very noticeable.
[Galaxy S II General] Locster126:
Well my samsung galaxy tab had the same problem with gradients and it just had a simple lcd display. So I believe the problem lays with samsung as no other device I owned had that issue.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I don't know see any banding on my htc desire though, and the gradients look super smooth on it.
[Galaxy S II General] deanwray:
Cause it dosent have a high colour high detail display like amoled plus, on the galaxy s 2, which is what this thread is for ;)
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
Thank you deanwray for your work and explanation.

Discussion apart ... what can be done in the firmware (by Samsung) to correct this problem with the actual 16bit "low quality" apps and OS? the OS can be improved, only depends on Samsung, but will we have to wait for the apps developers to give us better IQ in their future releases?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] deanwray:
Well the os supports full 24bit colour with another 8bit for various non-palletized blending modes. Thats just Android, but most of the base functions you see in android are indeed independent apps like phone, calendar, contacts etc.

So the OS is fine.

As for applications, to the best of my knowledge, you cannot force an app to be 24bit mode, but even if you did, as the test app shows with angry birds bg, the source resources (images, textures etc) have to be of a quality that fits.

So in short, nothing to OS, as for apps, ask devs to put more work into them to do different resource graphics and optional 24bit colour mode. 24bit switch is only in my apps cause I'm and artist :) If I were a full blown programmer I probably wouldn't bother :) Also the market figures say it would be quite a bit of work for a very very very small percentage of ppl :)
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
thanks ;) we will have to await for developers to work better. At leat the apps included by Samsung should be 24 bits !

It's a crime not do do so in a device like S2.

A little off-topic ... as a developer I am I'm currious ... you developed those 2 apps in what language? .net + Android SDK, Basic4Android, ... ?
[Galaxy S II General] deanwray:
the two sh*tty test apps are about 20 lines of java using android sdk :)

The app in the video is a big combo (mess) of everything :)
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
I don't get why you're saying that banding doesn't occurs in 24-bit mode if it does occur ?! (talking in general)
[Galaxy S II General] deanwray:
it does only on low luminance green, but tbh, it's on every display depending on how subjective you are. But the horrid banding ppl talk about mostly is not an issue if resources are good and app is set to 24bit.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
It has (I have the slcd version) and gradients are super smooth, anyway something weird is going on, I already posted this earlier:

take a screenshot with home+power and look at the pic on your computer ->banding

take a screenshot with qtadb and look at the pic on your computer -> no banding
