I remember my first PDA (a DELL AXIM) and had a hard time wrapping my head around how the OS and firmware were integrated. I was used to the the whole hardware / OS separation on PC's and this was hard to ween myself off of. My DAP's were the same way as my PDA, and so when I started messing with Android it at least made some sense to me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
This did confuse me at first, but something dawned on me as to why it may be like this. In the android world, we do install apps. So saying that we are installing a rom would possibly lead to more confusion. "where's the APK for me to install Brilliant Corners?" etc.

Seems we use Flash when speaking of operating systems, but install when speaking of applications.

[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
I've never installed a custom ROM before, and want to make sure I got this right before I do.

As far as I can tell, I root the Streak 7 using Gingerbreak, install CWM, then use "install zip from SD card" to install the custom ROM.

If not, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I plan on installing Streakdroid7. Also, will this erase my data?

EDIT: I am using the Wi-Fi only version. Will the ROM run on the Wi-Fi version properly, or is it intended for the T-Mobile version?

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it.

Can someone please help me with this or let me know whaat the problem is. I transfered contacts from my gfs blackberry to my phone using bluetooth and when I try to sync them to my phone I get this View attachment 624569
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nissan350:
Hey! Don't know if you've tried this method yet but I'll post it anyway:

Transferring your contacts

The first step in this rather easy process would be to create a Gmail account if you don’t already have one. Why do you need to do this? Android requires -- note how we put that in bold italics -- a Google account in order to activate the phone. Once your new account is created add it to your device, then download Google Sync on your BlackBerry, which syncs your contacts and calendar into Gmail. The backup process can take some time, depending on the size of your phone book. But once you sync that new Gmail account to your Android phone, it will now pull all of your contacts, e-mail and calendar to the device. Rather simple, huh?

Did a quick Google search on this topic and got that info from here: http://www.androidcentral.com/jumping-blackberry-android-heres-what-you-need-know

Let us know if it helped!

[Desire General] lunoma:
Hey there,

I'm not sure if this has been addressed before but has anyone experienced this when they plug in and out their charger? Basically, when I plug the USB cable into the phone to a source, computer or mains, it causes the alarm clock on the phone to open and when I plug it out, the leapfrog opens (i.e. when you pitch the homescreen and all of the windows are displayed. I had a HTC Legend before and the same thing always occurred. It's really annoying because when I'm trying to select the USB Connection type, the alarm clock app opens?!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
I was browsing the forum and saw a few questions for stock 2.3.3, so here's a Q&A for the stock 2.3.3 Rom.

Remember no question is a bad question.

NO flaming, namecalling...

Remember to include Kernal and modem in your problem description

Links:

KF1 "stock" Build. (NOTICE: not official but predicted to become official) http://hotfile.com/dl/121085939/d827808/I897UCKF1.rar.html

Odin will replace the I9000 bootloaders with the new captivate ones, which can be incompatible with I9000 roms. And I9000 bootloaders can be incompatible with captivate based roms.

I believe Heimdall will work without flashing bootloaders.

a guide on how to flash

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-3-gingerbread-firmware-on-samsung-captivate/

Will add more links later.

Some answered questions.

Can I flash a Froyo rom when I'm on Gingerbread?

Yes. Just remember to flash the kernal and rom at one time. Also make sure there is no bootloaders in the package.

Why does my screen turn black during a call?

It's a bug with gingerbread, place your finger on the proximity sensor and remove it to get a screen.

Can i flash Gingerbread from...

Yes

Why should I be worried about flashing gingerbread?

You shouldn't, the talk of bootloaders might make you anxious but just with any other rom you need to make sure that the files are in the right place and your USB cable stays in.

There is no "Stock Gingerbread" for the Cappy until AT$T/Samsung release it. What we have now are developed GB ROMS based on a released code base, but they are not stock for the Captivate. This thread title is confusing.:rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n.d.:
So I asked a question in another thread that I searched and hoped would be the appropriate place but the thread was closed with no explanation or direction??

So I did some more searching and I found this one next and ask a more simplistic question first.

I do not have a custom ROM so which thread would be appropriate to ask a question for a stock ROM? (I know technically 2.3.3 is not stock yet)

Why is there not a sticky thread for stock ROMs? i.e... Eclair Q&A, Froyo Q&A, Gingerbread Q&A

(p.s. the sub-forum specific search function is not working so I have to search through the entire forum for answers)

I've got a quick question and I hope this is the right place for it...

I was using Continuum for a long time and like it very much; I tried the CM7 when it first came up in the beta and it definitely seemed to compromise usability for the sake of having 2.3. Is there any benefit to going 2.3 right now, are the ROMs stable??

Sent from a phone controlling a computer controlling a different phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
CM7 is pretty darn stable now also, specially if you use the rc1, it is VERY SMOOTH and pretty flawless, has great speed to, upload/download speeds are great, Everything works good now but some things may not be as good as other Samsung roms like battery life, but I have a spare battery and it is my daily driver. Cog5b3 is VERY stable, it is the leaked 2.3.3 MADE for our phones, it has GREAT sound quality using the phone but does not have the higher download/upload speeds (though they do not seem too bad), it is my backup phone and JUST WORKS GOOD. I have tried Continuum 2.3.3? and Apex 7.x and both are pretty stable but I would get some lag after a few days/week unless I was clearing cache and dalviche cache often, they are based off the i9000 roms so you will have better download/upload speeds but they don't use the audience chip. Either way they all perform better than froyo roms IMHO.

I then copied the radio on and booted into bootloader and let it flash the radio. I havnt had any problems. The idea of pulling the battery while in Recovery made me nervous.

Just wipe before you flash the ROM and when it boots up dont touch it for 3 or 4 mins and give the kernel and ROM time to adjust.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
That is what I do and find it works best. I don't feel comfortable pulling the battery, so if you have experience with adb the command is "adb reboot bootloader". Make sure the radio is on the root of the SD card and named properly (PG05IMG) then flash rom. When done flashing connect to computer and type command while still in recovery. Good luck!

Is there any work around to this? Thanks

No. the Airave Femotel cell is designed only to allow connections from Sprint CDMA network phones, and while yes it is true that Sprint bought Virgin Mobile USA and they do 'lease' bandwidth from Sprint, they are still two separate entities, ironically enough Nextel phones also do not work with the Airave.
