Never. My tmobile signal never changes due to how I'm holding, but my wifi signal does. If I cover too much of the top like third of my phone my wifi signal is significantly lower if not gets dropped completely. It's not a common way to hold it, but when you play games in landscape it messes up quite a bit.

I've mentioned this on another thread. If ou hold it on landscape, wrapping your index finger on top on the ear speaker, you get better reception than when you hold it in portrait.

I got the best battery life on CM7 Alpha 4. I had it barebone and underclocked to 800mhz. I got around 20 hours on stock battery. Since then I wussied out and bought an extended battery. After that Syndicate seems to be doing better than CM7!

I also got around 17 hours on Bonsai. But I couldn't handle the low memory problem.

I've been working on a game called Wand Duel where you wave your phone around like a wand to cast spells against another player. It connects to another phone via Bluetooth and tracks health etc. Here is an intro video:

I had some problems with spell detection early on, but I think/hope it is now all ironed out :D

It is on the Market, so check it out if you are interested -- thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] k4p741nkrunch:
I liked your video, I haven't checked out the app yet though. I think there should be some animations for fire and defense shield as well as ice. Maybe if you had the image of the wand move around as you moved the phone you could suspend a little more disbelief ;) Cool concept!

[Fascinate Android Development] turtle555:
yep big +1

If you do all this and Odin hangs or something else fails to work, make sure you are using an OEM data/charge cord to do this. I did this exact beautiful brick a month ago was stuck believing for a good 8 hours that I had done it this time, because I was using a data/chord that was supposed to be an upgrade from the OEM chord. Fun times
[Fascinate Android Development] Dread This Day:
Bro, just a thought...But for people who follow these steps and STILL get issues, like force closes, the phone not saving your contacts or settings, etc. Then go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090127&highlight=ext4+formatter. Most of us, I think, use ext4, but RFS is the default for Samsung phones. Ext4 is what VooDoo converts your file systems to. Download the file system .zip of your choice, flash it in CWM, then re-flash your ROM, kernel, theme, etc. and it should fix your issues. I had many issues, this killed them all.
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
I am pretty sure the atlas file is not required if you are using the dl09 package. At least I was able to revert just fine without it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Copperhed:
you are correct, if you odin dl09 with the atlas 2.2 pit, it will only boot to recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
This isn't true. I have odined with DL09 and 2.2 pit file and repartition checked many times and it causes the phone to boot normally to stock. I have actually done it with both files many times. They both work just as I wrote it, at least for me and everyone else that I know.
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
TRUE !!

even i have positive experience of using both these files .. either one works with the 2.2 pit file and i didnt loose root either !
[Fascinate Android Development] times_infinity:
You HAVE to let it boot into stock recovery once after flashing the full Odin. Stock recovery needs to do an automatic data wipe before it boots into the OS. Which is why if you were to flash cwm right after flashing the full Odin, you'd get the datadata/dbdata issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Wow, I don't know how you didn't lose root seeing as how neither one of those Odin packages are rooted and it does a complete data wipe.
[Fascinate Android Development] bmeek:
Good advice! regarding that ext4 formatting...

This was essentially the process I followed a few days ago when I reluctantly reverted back to touchwiz framework for reliable call operation (CM7 MTD is getting so close).

After letting the DL09 image boot for the first time, I odined Times_Infinity's CM3 and booted straight into it with the intention of running navenedrob's ext4 formatter utility. I immediately heard the familiar scary voodoo lady reporting the lagfix conversion operation, backing up & restoring DL09 system and data files that I had no interest in keeping around, etc. Once it finished and I had TI's CWM on screen, I flashed navenedrob's ext4 utility to reformat.

So, to save some time and an unnecessary format cycle, here's a reminder to create a "/sdcard/voodoo/disable lagfix" file before starting this process :-).

FWIW, the latest imnuts PBJ kernel has a modified CWM (in yellow) that reportedly incorporates navenedrob's ext4 formatting enhancements, but I've had other issues with that kernel and there's no version to apply via Odin...
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
While it may work with those 2 files, the atlas file is not required if using the dl09 tar. I am not a coder, but I believe it may be redundant to use that file with the dl09 tar. Either way, my phone has been fully functional on comrom for the past 3 days now, and I did not use the 2.2 pit file to revert from the 6.09 CM7 build.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
I hear you and that may be true, but it is just safer to post it the way I did.
[Fascinate Android Development] times_infinity:
The atlas_v2.2.pit is required for repartitioning. Which is mandatory for coming off of MTD.
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
What problems should I be anticipating since I didn't use it? I haven't had any problems yet.

Edit: I am under the impression the DL09 tar repartitioned for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
+++++++1. I have used the DL09 file plus the atlas 2.2 pit file many times. It's the best thing for a good, clean, fresh start to build from. If you aren't using the PIT file, you aren't restoring your partitions back to where they need to be.
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
And I'll reiterate, what problems will I be experiencing? Since I haven't had any yet?
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
DI01

Odined DI01package3.tar.md5 without any special manuvers when coming back from CM7 then allowed OTA update. Is this a viable option or was I just lucky? I have had no problems.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
Sorry it took a while to answer. And unfortunately I don't know enough to answer that. Hopefully someone like times_infinity or nitsuj17 or one of the other devs who would be able to answer this question better chime in. My guess would be you would start experiencing force close issues out the wazoo as files and parts of files are being written to the wrong partition because they are not formatted properly. That's the best answer I can give you with my limited knowledge.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
My guess would be to this point you are lucky. Who knows what may develop down the road.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
Kid, I'm assuming jumping from mtd miui to mtd cm7 is standard proceedure no? Thanks for setting this up.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Yes headcase, mtd to mtd only requires wiping data/cache/dalvik cache seeing as how your partitions are already converted to yaffs2. Same principle as flashing a voodoo kernel while you are already on voodoo, no need to convert or revert however you want to say it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
Thanks bruthu
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
My guess would be these are also the types of problems you may experience from not using the pit file and repartitioning:
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
So far so good, no problems here.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Glad it worked for you. But I don't think playing with fire would be good practice for others. I mean why take the chance?
[Fascinate Android Development] turtle555:
wish this guide was here, when i first needed something like this, would have saved me some grey hair.
[Fascinate Android Development] efan450:
This whole post I quoted is the first one in the development section and its stickied...follow these instructions to a tee...you will get your phone working again...some people have had problems with the dl09 link so try both if you need to...i recommend using the eb01 tar it worked great for me and all I did was push eb01 with odin(with the atlas 2.2pitfile in the pit section and repartion checked)...reboot completely..power down...odin recovery 3.x.x.x...boot directly into recovery (if it fully boots up you'll have to re-push recovery)wipe the big three, flash ukb or whatever..and done

I have a queston once i odin the froyo tar can i ota to the newest build? Ed04
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
No you can't. EB01 was an unofficial froyo leak. If you use the official DL09 eclair tar (the other one provided) to odin then you can. If you are just wanting to OTA to ED04 for the radio/modem, then I suggest this instead. It's much easier: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097355
[Fascinate Android Development] nunyazz:
Coming from MIUI MTD, I just odin'd the old DI01, let it boot, then Odin'd DL09.

No issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Yes, but doing it that way is a gamble. You are just asking for future complications. The files I included are the necessary files for proper re-partitioning. To use the method I posted is a for sure method to do it correctly. You may have had problems doing it that way but others might. It is just good practice and will provide peace of mind to do it this way.
[Fascinate Android Development] xcoryedgex:
I noticed in the op that the Odin file provided was Odin3.v1.83 and I have Odin3.v1.30 will mine still work?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:

[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:

[Fascinate Android Development] gotsflat4love:
Hey Kid serious. I guess the second part of your op is with the nevenrob ext link. Link doesn't work, but I gues my question is. Once I odin everyhting to get to stock, then root, odin cwm 3.x.x., can I just flash my last back ukb back up that contains a voodoo kernal. Or will that cause problems. I hope this makes sense.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
OP updated with current, active link for navevedrob's ext4 formatter. @gotsflat4love, after odin gets you to stock you won't need to root. Just odin cwm recovery and boot directly into recovery before you let the phone fully boot the first time and from there, flash navenedrob's ext4 formatter and then restore your backup. Your backup is rooted already so no need to root again. Root is only important when the phone is on. It has no bearing when the phone is in download/recovery mode. In those modes, the system can't tell if you are rooted or not.
[Fascinate Android Development] gotsflat4love:
Hey Kidserious. I did what you said and kept getting an error and when restoring my nandroid. Kept getting bootimg error. So I just did what was in your instructions and just started fresh. Flashed eb01, rooted with cmw 3 tar, flashed rom, and kernal. Thanks for your help.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
The error probably came because you were most likely using times_infinity's recovery. That recovery has issues with backup/restore due to boot.img errors. I'm sure everything worked perfectly right up until you tried to restore your nandroid right? But, if you are all good to go then it is probably a moot point.
[Fascinate Android Development] n4m347yp3:
You guys are so nice. My phone was doing some crazy errors and I followed this to a T and BOOM. MiuI is back. No force closes, just a battery hog that loves to chew threw my wifi from my Charge. Any one else not get "themes" to show up through tether on verizon? Either way, MiUi + Fascinate = 24 MFloppy with some sick gTalk out the bag.

One question, my gTalk can Send sound, and receive video, but no audio?

Just a question.. thought I would keep it in the miui section, but since thats a weird one thought I would ask here... :)
[Fascinate Android Development] tumness420:

<ID:0/004>movinand.bin

<ID:0/004>Removed!!

<ID:0/004>Complete(write) operation failed.

and it goes to a full blue screen. what did I do wrong?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
It could be that you knocked the cord loose towards the end or you could have gotten a corrupted download. Try re-downloading the Odin package you used and make sure the cable on both sides is plugged in good and try again.
[Fascinate Android Development] tumness420:
Ya that must have been it! Tried again and now Im back to Com Rom already.

Thanks for the help!
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
No problem :)
[Fascinate Android Development] MR H3LLMAN:
So I am currently at minute 15 of "initialzation" in Odin. Nothing seems to be moving or doing anything.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Just pull out the cord out and start over...........as long as it is not flashing "sbl.bin" or "boot.bin" it will be fine. If you pull the cord out while those two files are flashing then you will no longer be able to enter into download mode and you will have a completely useless paperweight. Those two files are your primary and secondary bootloaders. And if they don't get flashed then "download" mode doesn't work. Odin gets stuck sometimes so you have to just pull the cord.
[Fascinate Android Development] dhouston10:
Kid, my phone completely crashed the other day. Not sure exactly how, but anyways, I followed yourbl instructions here to a tee, and it did exactly what you said it would.

[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
If you used the EB01 tar.md5 then you need to odin again with the DL09 file. EB01 was an unofficial "leak" and if verizon sees that they will know you have been tampering with your phone. Odin the DL09 ECLAIR file and then OTA back up to ED04 2.2 official froyo.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:

[Fascinate Android Development] mmtoman:

So people can have a reference of what "right" looks like for noobs.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Mediafire only allows a Max of 200 mb upload unless you want to pay for premium. Multiupload allows the upload of these files for free. Trust me......I don't like multiupload either.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Good idea, I'll look into that.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
And there is no official ED05 OTA update.........yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrmidnight:
I followed these instructions to a t and all my fassy is doing is taking me to the stock recovery
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
When you odin the recovery, you have to boot into recovery BEFORE the the phone boots up normally. If you allow the stock kernel to boot fully before going into recovery, it will overwrite the custom recovery with the stock recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:

[Fascinate Android Development] kingpin440:
after flashing the ext4 formatter, do I immediately flash a rom without rebooting? Letting the phone reboot will wipe the recovery I flashed, correct?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
If you flash the ext4 formatter, the phone won't boot. There won't be anything to boot, your phone will be COMPLETELY wiped. Flash the formatter and in the same cwm recovery session, flash the rom after it
