THANKS!

It is possible you have a corrupted zip file, therefore, if you haven't already, re-download, re-wipe and re-flash.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkHorse281:
I'm trying to do my very first mod to my gtab. I've posted some questions already but have more before I proceed. I'm running bootloader 1.2-4349. Do need to set up nvflash before I attempt flashing to a different ROM? Is there a CWM that is specific for my bootloader? I've searched for these answers on the forums but was unable to find them. I found many posts about these subject but no one answred them directly. Any help is much appreciated.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkHorse281:
Much appreciated...awesome!

You guys are both awesome and a credit to the anroid community. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you help. I didn't go into much depth on this thread because I had already written one earlier in the day that shared my background and future intentions for my gtab. I didn't want to sound repetative plus I realize people don't care to read a novel in these forums. So I figured short and sweet I might get a better response, and I was right. Anyway, I hear what you're saying about messing around with the stock firmware TJ. The truth is I've had the tablet now for 3 weeks and I've played with it constantly. I have to say it's not as bad as I thought it would be but it lacks so many things that I've come to love about my Samsung Galaxy Indulge. Many people make fun of or pick on Metropcs and make fun of them as a company, but I have to say here in Florida they're great. I love my phone even though its not the top of the line galaxy phone. And their 4g service is fast in my neck of the woods. Having had such a great experience with that android device, I would really like to make something awesome out of my gtab. I want to use the 4g on my phone to connect to the internet and turn this tablet into a completely mobile multimedia device (Xvid, Avi, Mp3, Netflix, Hulu). I would also like to get the gps software put on it so that I can put my google maps app from my phone on it. Once I am be to get the phone rooted and the wifi or usb tethering up I can use it for navigation as well. I also miss the Android Market. I would love to get that back up and running on my tablet so that I can download some of the apps that I'm familiar with. I really like the dolphin browser on my Indulge and would love to have it on my tablet. I had it for a while on the gtab but had to do a factory reset because of something my kids did and now that I'm back to having nothing on my tablet I thought now would be a good time to try a different ROM. Besides it seemed a little glitchy anyway. Sorry about the novel guys, but now that you know a bit about me and what I want to use my tab for, which ROM do you think will suit my needs? Do you still think that Brilliant Corners is going to cover what I'm wanting out of my gtab? I'm going to check out GoodIntentions' web site and maybe I will get a clue. Thanks for your help guys. I hope to hear back soon.

P.S. One additional question. What's up with the bluetooth pairing? I can't get this thing to pair with any phones. I've tried mine and my gf's and it absolutely will not work.

[Acer Iconia A500] :
Hey guy's

I'm just wondering if anyone is experiencing any issues with syncing picasa albums from google accounts

I have 2 google accounts and I've unticked the option on both to not sync pictures to my gallery but yet they still do!

For the 2nd google account i have to remove it from the device completely to get rid of the pictures. If i re-add them and untick the option for pictures it will still appear. The only way for the picasa albums to not sync is to not add that 2nd google account

For my first primary account i was able to get them unsynced when removing the account and re-adding it.

This issue doesnt occur for calendar/contacts/bookmarks

I'm running build Acer_A500_1.139.04_COM_GEN1 and thought i'd run it past xda before i speak to Acer/Factory Wipe device (which i really dont want to do if i can avoid it!)
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
What is the verdict on these memory optimizer type apps?

http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller/faq
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
I can't recommend Autokiller highly enough on Samsung Froyo phones. It was a must use, even with Voodoo, on my old SGS i9000, and the same thing on my Droid Charge.

True story: just this morning I was ready to throw my Charge against the wall in frustration. Ever since upgrading to EE4 the damn thing was LAG LAG LAG city, even with Voodoo. Phone was snappy as heck after a reboot, but after a couple of hours use, it started to lag, and then would get so laggy it was almost unusable. Seriously, opening apps would take 10 second. Auto-rotate the screen took 4-5 seconds.

I enabled Autokiller, set it "aggressive" and the phone's a speed demon again.

Try it, can't hurt your phone with it, might help it exponentially.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jdkzombie:
waiting for the phones built in lowmem killer is useless, use autokiller and you will notice an immediate improvement in phone response time. heres a point for ya, without it installed i have 78mb ram free,,,with installed 158ram. thats huge. for a phone. plus they dev just updated to reduce memory usage of the app itself, plus there are tweaks in the settings menu to make the IO scheduler more aggressive, improve sd card reads, battery life, wifi, networ,...its layered man. and free....whats more to love. the only other way i have found to improve phone speed feelwise is with kangfucius kernel and set that terd up to 1500hz with cfq. shazaam.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Basically what you're doing is tweaking the settings for how Android frees up your memory. In theory, it should be good, because the defaults that were picked with the Android release aren't going to be appropriate for everyone. Just be careful not to be too aggressive or you might start losing functionality you want, such as alarms or background email checks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Good point on not being too aggressive. The higher you set it, the more sticky sports ate pushed out of memory, so with the settings I have right now the phone kills some things that in the oat would have been running when I went back to them. I'm going to drop down from aggressive to strict and see if that's a better balance for how I use the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] slight23:
Call me crazy but...

Android is linux based right? I.E. it uses a linux kernel? I was under the impression that was true. If so, unless you're running into the problem of completely filling RAM and having to wait for stuff to be cleared, this kind of thing will not help you!

Linux intentionally leaves commonly used items in RAM in order to decrease access time. It is perfectly normal for such a system to run at 70-80% memory usage. It is, in fact, a GOOD thing, because it means more memory is actually being put to a potentially useful purpose.

That being said, if you're actually running out of RAM I suppose something like this could help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Yes, yes, I frequently give the "in linux free memory is wasted memory" whenever people want to use some taskkiller app because they want a lot of free memory. This isn't about shooting for some high free memory number because we're Windows minded and think we need a lot of free memory, this is about finding the right settings for Android's own memory manager to keep the phone responsive. There's been something about my Samsung phones (except the Nexus S) where they just get laggy as hell with the stock memory manager settings.

As described above, my phone was almost unusable after a couple of hours booted up until I enabled Autokiller. Maybe something I'm running has memory leak; could be, but I pretty much run the same apps on all my phones, and the HTCs and Nexus S don't get laggy like the i9000 and Charge do.

This app, or the one named MinFreeManager really help. In the early days of the i9000 on MoDaCo site we were using the cat command to tweak the settings manually in our efforts to find a way to stop RFS lag before Voodoo came along.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hokulus:
I just installed this yesterday and configured it for strict mode. I also enabled all of the advanced system tweaks and so far I haven't noticed much if any difference, perhaps it depends on your individual usage and what apps, launcher, etc you're using. I'm going to leave it on and see how it goes though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Any still using this? Any want to share what settings they use?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdX MaxX:
My Atrix runs nice and smoothly for the most part. Apps are smooth as butter. My only issue is lag whenever I return to the homescreen. If I wake up the device after a while, or I return to the homescreen after using an app for a while, and I try to swipe to another homescreen, there's always a 1 second delay. It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it gets annoying seeing it all the time. The same thing happens with any launcher I try to use. Live wallpapers don't really make it lag more. I do use lots of Widgets, so maybe that's causing it. I don't know. Does anyone else have any insight on this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
I have the same issue. Using Lpro. I thought if I put into memory it won't happen but it doesn't help. A bit irritating.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethantarheels123:
yes, im experiencing this too, though I do not have a solution. Is what you're experiencing like right when you unlock the phone, and you try and swipe between homescreens, it's kind of like slow motion until like 2 seconds later, then it becomes full speed and buttery smooth?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdX MaxX:
Exactly. Does it happen to you when you exit an app as well?

I wonder whether this is a result of the way Tegra 2 handles processes. Maybe it slows down ADW (or other launcher) when not in use, but doesn't speed up quickly enough.

Hopefully future Gingerbread updates help fix this.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdX MaxX:
So...

I guess this is just an unfortunate side effect of Froyo not being optimized for dual-core processors? That sucks, especially considering that I haven't seen this happening with any other Android phone, dual-core or not.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
I had a homescreen lag on my N1 with stock froyo, on my Nexus S with gingerbread. My MT4g hat no lag with froyo and sense. Attic has a lag occasionally. Ithink it is bad programming in android or the graphic overlay.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdX MaxX:
Hmm. That makes me think the upcoming Gingerbread update won't fix this.

I wonder whether there's anything I can freeze. I've already frozen the stock launcher (I use ADW) but it hasn't helped.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
I can't speak for newer gingerbread versions. I returned my Nexus S after 3 weeks and it shipped with the original, too early released version of gingerbread that was horrible buggy. Hopefully, they fixed that in later versions. Let's see what version we get for the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdX MaxX:
Is it just a select few people having this issue? As I browse the forums, most people say that the Atrix is perfect and has no lag.

Am I going to have to remove widgets to get rid of this homescreen stutter?

Grrr. This issue is like a grape juice stain on your white carpet. It's little, but it's there.

I'll stop bumping this, I guess not enough people are having this problem.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
I have a notification bar lag that only a few people have. If I get an email and my phone is locked and I unlock it and try to swipe the notification bar down I need always 2 attempts to be successful...I have absolutely no idea what triggers this...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
Dear all GS2 holders,

I'd like to know to what extent how GS2's contacts compatible with Gmail's contacts?

I am using HTC Incredible S, all fields and data in Gmail's contacts can be synchronized with Incredible S and vice versa.

However, I have the experience that Sony Ericcson's Arc which it even doesn't have birthday field and many other fields in its Contacts. Have to download 3rd party app to show those fields on the phone. Therefore I am worried whether Galaxy SII's contacts is fully compatible with Gmail's contacts that all fields can be synchronized properly.

It would be great if you can take some photos to show how many standard and customized fields in the Contacts on GS2. Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viva.fidel:
it allows 1st name, 2nd name, home/mobile/work/home fax/work fax/pager/other/custom number, internet call, home/work/other/custom email, multiple IMs, address, organisation, notes, nickname, website, birthday, anniversary

i'm pretty sure it'll be fine for you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it.

Is it only has 1st and 2nd names? how about prefix, suffix and middle name as shown in my attached screenshot of Gmail contacts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Yes, it also allows the following fields:

Middle name

[Nexus S General] BlindWolf8:
Hello all,

Just a quick rooting question. Is there any reason to unlock the bootloader when rooting? According to some stickies, we can root without unlocking and I was able to root my friend's Captivate without unlocking anything. I am assuming we're unlocking the bootloader since it makes the rooting process easier as a hack isn't required? Thanks!
[Nexus S General] dave.caldera:
It allows you to flash a custom recovery image to go ahead and flash a custom rom and radio
[Nexus S General] BlindWolf8:
Hi Dave,

Thanks for the info, but why didn't I need to unlock my friend's Captivate? We were able to get Clockworkmod Recovery on it without unlocking anything. Thanks!
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
http://www.androidcentral.com/bootloaders-all-you-ever-wanted-know

The TL;DR of that article is that,

Every phone has a bootloader. The Nexus series (and now Sony Ericcson after filing out a form on their website) has a unlockable bootloader without the usage of any exploits. Phones such as the Galaxy S series (Vibrant, Captivate, Epic 4G, etc) -- mainly Samsung phones have weak bootloader protection.

HOWEVER, all of the other phones' bootloaders are unlocked due to a exploit. So yes, your friend did unlock the bootloader without actually knowing it.

The only phones that are unable to unlock the bootloader are Motorola phones because of the bootloader being signed.

But if you really want to know about bootloaders, read that article.

@dave: there is no such thing as a custom radio. The radio itself is not open sourced. But it allows you to flash a older version of the radio since results of radios vary between user. Some people may experience better connection with KB3 than KD1 and etc.
[Nexus S General] BlindWolf8:
Thanks! It was as I thought. :)
[Nexus S General] fallenguru:
Correct. Most other phones require an exploit to root, the Nexus S does not - if you unlock the bootloader. Conversely, you might still be able to root the Nexus using an exploit, even if you want to keep the bootloader locked.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
....? You just paraphrased what i said.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
I have a related question. I relocked my bootloader after rooting. What exactly can I not do with it locked?
[Nexus S General] BlindWolf8:
It's kind of a PITA to flash an updated Clockworkmod Recovery. That's all I've found out.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
^ but to be honest, not to many things get changed within the recovery. Sure the modified Clockwork recovery gets updated. But the original clockwork from ROM Manager doesn't.. it'll work, but I don't see a reason on keeping the bootloader locked. No security is ever compromised.
[Nexus S General] fallenguru:
Funny, I actually paraphrased the OP. He was on the right track anyway, just needed some confirmation, not a whole paper :p Also there's a lot of stuff in there I don't really agree with all that much.

Flash (and probably boot) stuff via fastboot.

Hey everyone, I followed instructions on flashing the CWM recovery by using root explorer and then flashing the update.zip, i've seem to run into a brick wall here. I booted into recovery 3e the samsung stock recovery that came with my SGS4G then i reinstall update, it continues until it cant verify the signature on the zip file... im stuck! Am i doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Sounds like a corrupt download. Redownload and make sure you push the recovery to the right place and the update.zip is at the root of your SDcard.

Also please keep all questions in the "general" section. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Yupper.....signature verification errors are always 1 of 2 things:

1) not properly signed

2) corrupt download

Just for future reference.

sent from the pits of hell (from an sgs4g)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
Thank for the fast reply! I downloaded the zip 3 times already lol, and i know i have root because i used rage to exploit and i've overwritten the recovery in /system/bin with superuser permission using root explorer as explained in the thread... would it make a difference if i pushed it via adb? i was unable to push due to adb recognizing as read only so i opted for the root explorer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Push the recovery?

sent from the pits of hell (from an sgs4g)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
"Recovery" as in the binary modification required for cwm is what I meant, not cwm itself
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
If you want to push it you need to be in root in adb. Should make a difference though. I did it with root explorer.

sent from the pits of hell (from an sgs4g)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
:confused: That's what i thought.... hmmmm and i did have my shell root on but i was still unable to push files, but still it shouldnt have mattered what method i chose to overwrite the binary with, as long as it was successful (supposedly)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] silverspoon80:
+1.

~Root explorer

~change permission on system/bin/replace recovery.img

~Put update.zip onrood of sdcard and `reinstal package`.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
silverspoon80 - when you refer to change permission you mean superuser correct?because i have followed that exact guide to the point... still no avail... i sware this makes the ion rooting and flashing look like small time lol! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] silverspoon80:
no. i'm talking about the 'Mount R/W' button on Root Explorer. That's what lets you replace the recovery that's already in your system/bin/ with the one that drhonk posted - or you get 'permisson denied' error.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
:eek: *facepalm... i'm going to try it again THIS TIME w/mount, i'll get back to ya in a few. kudos for the input it's appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I had CWM (Krylon’s Version) working in a previous install of KD1 from Kies upgrade. Then I hosed my upgrade to BFrost ROM. I have Odened back to Whawks KD1 this the second time just in case it did not take on the first try. Both times I cannot get CWM to go in recovery. I have replaced system/bin/ recovery from a fresh download and placed update.zip on the root of Ext SD. I know recovery was over written properly because the date changed and Root explorer did not error out. I even restarted the phone 3 times to make sure it set. When I go to recovery and select ‘Reinstall Packages” I’m getting :

E: Can’t Mount /Dev/Block/mmcblk0p1

E: Can’t Mount SDCARD:Update.zip

It makes it sound like Recovery file is not taking. I did not have this problem with my original KD1 install before I hosed the system. Any thoughts?? I’ve tried many times with same result.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
^ i just installed bfrost.... im now completely sponged and have to start from scratch using odin ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh one issue after another! I STILL LOVE THIS PHONE THOUGH! Sorry i cant be of much help im seriously lacking knowledge in the galaxy
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I'm thinking it's a rights issue. This Rom has given me a couple FC's. One of them with SU so I may have a flaky SU. What's weard is that I know I changed the recovery file. That was the error I was getting when I frist tried installing it last month until I replaced the Recovery file.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CozzaFrenzyy:
not in superuser. you need to change permission in the program your using to replace the recovery file since its a system file

Sorry for 2 questions in 1 day, but my phone arrived un-expectedly.

I have updated to Lite'ning Rom 1.3 and I assumed this would update the Baseband at the same time

but it hasnt, its still on KE2 where as the Firmware is KE8

How do I update this, I have search and searched and just cant find a thread with this info, or the files etc.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkrmec:
Read the ROM details. Maybe the baseband is not KE8. It doesnt change everytime.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If a rom has KE4 baseband then thats what you get if it has KE1 likewise .

No point changing a modem for no reason .

As the last poster said you are supposed to read the posts regarding the rom before not after flashing .Its a custom rom after all not a Samsung rom .
