[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzyjames:
That is not always the case, do a factory reset first, he may have had a app installed that worked just fine in 2.1 but may have a update for 2.2 because the original app may have issues with 2.2 like battery drain.

But always always always, either remove apps or do a factory reset before even considering taking your phone in to be replaced.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyg0od33:
where do I go to flash esn? the 3G symbol still shows up on his phone, and seems to be working...how can I tell?

*EDIT* though to be honest, rooting, based on my own experience, is completely worth it if only for the ability to back up the phone lol
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenz:
Look at the time without signal. Unless I put the phone in airplane mode for a few seconds after I reboot, I have a time without signal of around 50%. This is killer on the battery
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenz:
As far as rooting and roming, use Odin to flash CWM, then boot directly into CWM, then flash custom rom of choice (i like com rom, but also hear good things about evil fascinate). That's about as easy as it gets, imo
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyg0od33:
so if this is the case, you'd recommend turning airplane mode on for a few seconds after booting?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenz:
Yes. Wait for media scanner to do its thing, then turn on airplane mode, wait about 5 to 10 seconds, then turn airplane mode off. You should see time without signal drop.

Edit: to view time without signal, go into settings - about phone - battery use - cell standby in case you didn't know ;)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyg0od33:
You are awesome!

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsuagentsmith:
There are so many ways to go about rooting the fascinate. Odin is the simplest. If you Odin your phone with CWM you can go anywhere from here. Use this Odin package for CWM.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36791/CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5 Brought to you by times_infinity.

Then download and install the ComROM with the undervolted PBJ kernel in CWM if you are going for battery life.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyg0od33:
Ok, so would I follow the sticky in the Q&A section that tells how to get to/from stock with Odin, and then use that file? Or is there a better guide on using Odin?

Does the ComROM come with the PBJ kernel or should I just search that on here?

Sorry for all the basic questions, all of this stuff is waaay different than hitting "start" in Unrevoked and then just hitting "install zip from SD" in CWM lol
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenz:
There are 3 versions on Com Rom, and the only differences are the kernels. One has no kernel, one has OTB (that's what I am currently running, and am getting stellar battery, with no undervolting), and one that has PBJ.

I assume you would just use that sticky in Q&A, as it is the only sticky in there. I have never looked at it, so I don't want to tell you one way or the other.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsuagentsmith:
Yes, I looked at that post. You should be fine with that one.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyg0od33:
cool..thanks for everything!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyg0od33:
While I still want to root, just to tinker with the phone and backup just in case, after a battery pull & wait one minute last night before charging, the phone now has over 80% battery after a full work day, so it seems to have worked.

Thanks for your help guys, I'll probably be back to ask some more questions (in the right section) in the future!

Quick heads up folks, it appears to be free on the market just now, don't know why, I remember it being about £5 or so. Anyways, have it running on the SGS2 with chainfire driver, looks pretty good, plays well but the odd graphical glitch but I can more than put up with that for a game that looks this good.

EDIT: sorry my bad, leson number one, search before posting. Can a mod please delete this?
[General Questions and Answers] M4GxOptic:
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S Showcase(I500) Cellular South Model and I am running it on Froyo 2.2 with a voodoo kernel and I was curious to know if I can increase my internal memory/ram?
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
Nope, that's not possible.
[General Questions and Answers] Pyrocloud:
Well that is technically correct, the ROM you choose will have different values associated with how much RAM it uses.

The base system RAM is not expandable, but the amount of ram available for the system will depend on the ROM you have loaded.

Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] aaa:
The RAM free room is dependent to the ROM and the installed applications.

You can not add more physical RAM, unlike by PCs.
[General Questions and Answers] inversergame:
I agree with him
[General Questions and Answers] InfiniteStorm:
I don't think you can "Increase" Physical ram, but you can decrease ram usage.
[General Questions and Answers] bigtweety:
If you mean hardware upgrade (which I believe you do), the answer would be no.

If you mean have less RAM consomption, I guess that'd depend on many things such as but not limited to, ROM, kernel, UI, appKiller...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J12345T:
Hi All,

I've recently downgraded my TD2 to Vagrik's WM6.5 ROM because I was sick of not being able to read the tiny fonts in the stock HTC Sense ROM. In all I think WM6.5 seems to be more than adequate for my needs and extremely fast by comparison.

My question is; where do I find downloadable themes for these aging devices/ROM's. Everywhere I look (and I mean everywhere) the files are no longer available. Please be assured that posting here has been my option of last resort.

In short; is Vagrik's ROM 'a generally recommended' ROM? and where can I find a choice of themes?

Many thanks,

JT.
[EVO Shift 4G General] popasmurfn23:
i just got my over the air gingerbread question is before i update should i go back to stock rom and also unroot??

will i lose my root if i update?
[EVO Shift 4G General] amehdi43:
Yes you should, and yes you will. Good Luck!
[EVO Shift 4G General] popasmurfn23:
if im already on stock rom but rooted should i unroot before update? I dont want to brick it.

nevermind
[EVO Shift 4G General] sehven777:
Do not apply the update, you will loose root and would be a while before it would be rerooted. Just watit for the rooted version of the update to be posted here, that will happen way before the update to be rooted if u apply the update. Be patient, wouldnt be surprised if the rooted flashable update is posted today or tomorrow.

[Android Software Development] Kasimodo:
Hello,

First sorry for my very bad english.

I have an ASUS EEE Pad transformer rooted with Modaco ROM (android 3.1).

I'm looking for a software which can see my DLNA Server at home using a VPN connexion.

UPNPlay can see my files only if I'm connected on my own LAN with WiFi but if I use a VPN connexion, It doesn't see anything (no more with Shiftka). I've tried with Expert File, but when I click on an AVI file it start ly web browser for downloading the file.... There is no streaming.

Is there an app which can do this?

Best regards,

Kasi
[Android Software Development] ov3rfl0w:
Second this

3 years on and I'm having difficulty finding a such a solution. All android apps seem to be configured for WiFi only... what about VPN for DLAN streaming, why would you not consider this in the standard app? Would someone be able to point me in the direction of an android app that does this and if not, can someone customize their app to allow this... very frustraiting.
[Galaxy S II General] audino:
Hi

I noticed today that Ive damaged screen... On the top in the middle is a spot like on macbook screen. Does samsung would change this on warrety?
[Galaxy S II General] GuestX0059:
Do you mean a dead pixel ?

I first thought I had one as well but it was the app creating a white pixel in the corner. In the middle however it looks like it is always there.

You should do some dead pixel testing and check if it is one for sure.

Check appbrain or the market for Dead Pixel Detect.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I understand ENglish is not your native language, so please clarify something for us here :

"Ive damaged screen" - you mean "I have damaged my screen" or "I have a damaged screen [it came like this from the store]" ?

"On the top in the middle is a spot like on macbook screen" - your macbook screen is damaged too? Last I used a Mac was 15 years ago, not sure what spot you are referring to, can you elaborate?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] audino:
Yesss english isnt my native O:-)

On the screen of my i9100 is an white spot like often on macbook pros screens... Its not a dead pixel it looks like white dust and its only visable on grey backgrounds... Hope someone understands me now:-D

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bike2002:
It may be wise to get a Sandisk 4/8 GB class 2/4 disk for this build.

8GB disk gives you more room to store stuff later on.

After you have the Sandisk, check to see if you have all these pieces:

-- generic-sdcard-v1.3.img

-- gapps-gb-20110307-signed

-- update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed

Follow these steps to prepare your Sandisk:

-- use WinImage/Win32Image/win32diskimager to restore generic-sdcard-v1.3.img onto the Sandisk

-- copy the other two files (gapps-gb-20110307-signed and update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed) onto the Sandisk

Now the final steps:

-- power off nook color

-- put the microSD in the nook color

-- power on nook color

-- follow the screen instructions

-- skip google account setup and set up wifi first

-- once wifi is connected, then set up your google account

-- now you are running with cm7 stable 7.0.3 from microSD

Let us know if you have any problems.

Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Never thought i would figure this out guys! although once again the credit goes to someone else i just did extreme amounts of research(my girlfriend is so mad at me for being on the computer hahaha)

this is the real deal people GB rom is now rooted

so i am not responsible for any damage YOU cause your phone

anyways ladies and gents here is the moment we've been waiting for

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

a computer

THE GB rom

the zimage-root.tar(bottom of post)

the zimage.tar from the GB rom (also bottom of post)

ODIN

(http://www.mediafire.com/file/1qqk94teauc64nb/Odin3-v1.85.zip)

NOW

flash the GB rom using odin(NOTE I DID NOT USE PIT not sure if it matters)

let the gb rom load up

put usb debugging on

now go back into download mode and get on odin

Flash the zimage-root.tar in the pda section with no pit or anything

after it flashes you will get a bootloop that looks like the fugu tweaks logo

turn the phone off and once again go into download mode

go back into odin and flash the original GB rom zimage.tar

DONE!!!

you now have super user

but you have to go into the market and get busybox which is how you confirm your root

YAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!

YOU GUYS BETTER THANK BEEFVVL FOR MAKING THE ZIMAGE.TAR NOW YOU DONT HAVE TO USE HEIMDALL

[Verizon Droid Charge] Blanco954:
I am running your theme now and flash went ok. I am on kejar31 gummy charge v1. 8. 1 Rom and kernel. I recommend you update the OP to indicate that this is flashed via CWR & some basic instructions would help the newbies that want to try (I am using the most recent update of CWR posted on kejar's gummy charge thread). so far this running great on my phone. looks awesome! has great contrast in all menues and selections. I would recommend losing the location indicator on the status bar most custom ROM users ask for that to be removed, you might consider a mod to add it back if there's some folks that want it.

Keep up the good work this is staying on my phone for a long time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stranula:
I'm glad you like it Blanco954. I updated the OP with installation instructions. I will look into removing the location icon from the status bar, shouldn't take too long I don't think. I am also going to make a few different varieties with different battery icons, since people seem to like options for that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Blanco954:
You knocked it off the park with your detailed instructions. A lot of folks will appreciate the time and effort. I haven't found any bugs so no news is good news. Excellent job on your first release I look forward to some more themes and updates from your kitchen.

ROM: Gummy Charge v1. 8. 1by Kejar31

Kernel: Gummy Charge OC 1400 Mhz.

Theme: Greys & Blacks v1. 2 by Stranula
[Verizon Droid Charge] stranula:
I haven't yet figured out removing the location icon. I don't just want to make it a blank image, I want to actually remove it, so it takes a little more effort than originally planned. I have, however, made a few modifications to some more images that I found that I wanted to change. I also have 2 new sets of battery icons up. **UPDATE** Make that 8 sets of battery icons

So after a few hours on this GB release, I really don't like the look of it. I very much preferred the look of the froyo theme that came with the phone, not to mention the grainy text (I know this will be fixed eventually, but for now it looks bad). I originally had planned on sticking with it and theming it, but really its just not worth it right now. I'm not satisfied with this leaked build, I'm going back to froyo until something more developed comes along. Sorry to leave anybody hanging.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY

{ HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL }

THANK YOU anantshri for helping out ;)

hey guys i have made an interesting update.zip which can be flashed (using xrec-v0.0.3) to mount the ext2 images at /system & /data RIGHT IN RECOVERY!!!

basically this allows u to gain a "recovery" type access to the ext2 images, so u can flash any update.zips including any roms update.zip RIGHT INTO THE EXT2 image ;)

the only issue is that u need to remove "format SYSTEM:" / "format DATA:" / "format CACHE:" statements from update-script

before running my special mounting script:

after running the script:

i have tested this by flashing a 2.1 modded rom (rdannar's ECLAIR flavor) [by modded i mean format commands removed from update-script]

[ WHAT IT DOES? ]

basically this is a normal update.zip which can be flashed via recovery

BUT during flashing it will run a special script which will do the following:

mount /data /system /cache

capture mount points/MTDs

unmount /system & /data

create temporary mount points for mtdsystem and mtddata in /mnt/t_system & /mnt/t_data

mount MTDs in the temporary location

start loopmounting:

mount /mnt/t_system/dualboot/system.ext2 to /system

mount /mnt/t_data/dualboot/data.ext2 to /data

interested people can check the special_mounter.sh in the update.zip package

[ REQUIREMENT ]

so the obvious requirement is that u need to have the ext2 images placed in the right folders

/system/dualboot/system.ext2

/data/dualboot/data.ext2

[ IMPORTANT ]

as always take backups of ur current system & be ready to use flashtool to go back to stock FW if things screw up

this will work for any rom 2.1/2.2/2.3 the ONLY ISSUE IS that we currently have modded dualboot ramdisk (custom kernel provided by zdzihu) ONLY FOR 2.1 ROM...

so u cant really boot into the embedded 2.2/2.3 rom cause the dualboot custom kernel ramdisk needs to be modded to support those...

i am trying to get that working and have contacted zdzihu... lets hope we can run ANY ROM inside these ext2 images soon

i havent tested if this can allow us to take backup/restore of the ext2 images... but if u do want to do so u can just copy the ext2 files manually to sdcard right! ;)

i havent tested the provided update.zip (or the script) on FreeXperia recovery OR xRecovery v1.0.0...

u can keep checking the output of the commands: adb shell df

before/during & after flashing any roms update.zip to check if the free space is filling up or not

[ DOWNLOAD ]

(amend syntax)

DUALBOOT_mount_in_recovery_v2.zip

P.S.:

i dont want this thread to be filled with questions from noobs

follow the above ONLY IF U KNOW WHT U ARE DOING and how to get back to original system

Cheers!
