It seems that the longer I run this lockscreen, the more buggy it becomes. Earlier today after turning my screen on, I wasn't able to slide the screen left or right to unlock and ended up needing a battery pull.

My awake time was at 4.5 hours and my up time was at 2 hours so it looks like that isn't the issue but I have definitely noticed significantly greater battery drain since using this lockscreen. Could it be because I'm running over a sense ROM and not AOSP?

So, everyone knows that 3.1 is great for USB hosting things like mice, hard drives, flash drives, etc, etc, etc... And most people know that you can make a OTG cable out of an old data cord and some assorted parts, with soldering. My point in posting this is to show that there is no soldering needed, thus maybe some people who can't/don't want to solder can make an OTG cable. (Use electrical tape)

So, starting with a usb data, split open the micro-usb adapter head with a razor or knife, and keep peeling back the layers until all you have left is the trapezoidal male adapter and five prongs, a red, black, white, green and blank. There is a seam that is bisecting the plug, and it is the easiest way to cut it open. Work off the plastic cover and I would advise you to strip the first few inches of the actual cable aswell, then you can get to work.

You're going to need some kind of female full size usb plug to cannibalize, like of an old device with usb. (I tore one off a very old tower.) hold on to this for later.

Start by cutting the full size usb off the wire, and then cut about six inches of the data cable off and seperate the wires so that you can use one in the next step. Now strip the end of the main wire so that all four wires have about 1cm of exposed wire. take the usb port, and on the back, there will be four leads. the order is red, white, green, black. (When looking at the plug with the larger blank space below the smaller blank space in the plug.) Attach the wire that corresponds to each spot. Normally, this would be done with solder, but electrical tape works just as well. Simply use narrow, long strips of electrical tape to secure each wire to the leads, thus isolating each lead and making the system work. Don't be shy about using the tape, the more you use (reasonably), the more secure the system will be. This is a tedious process, but still it is easy enough to do.

Now for the part that tells the Xoom to be in host mode. Choose one wire from the six inches of wire you cut off, and strip both ends of it. strip the middle of the black wire (on your about to be OTG cable) around two inches from the micro usb head, and attach the second wire (that's six or so inches long) to it. Then, find the fifth, unused lead on the micro-usb assembly, and carefully attach the other end of the wire. This will take a bit of effort to orient it correctly, but once secure, again use strips of electrical tape to secure it and isolate it. When attaching the wires, use electrical tape cut into thin, long strips and work carefully to ensure that the wires you are attaching do not short out with any other contacts. This whole process may take a while.

If you can't locate the fifth port, then use the wire you are attaching to black to contact possible leads with a mouse attached, and if you find the right one, it will bring up a cursor.

As a final step, I wrapped mine up in duct table to make it stronger so that it will last and I can pack it along with me.

These are just my two cents I wanted to share, hopefully helping someone.

Final product:

short pin 1 to 5 and you'll damage your usb port. I guarantee the repair will easily exceed the $8 cost of an ebay otg cable.

OK, I am officially an idiot. I attempted to install CWM Recovery via the ROM Manager (using thethe Fascinate version) and I soft bricked my phone. I attempted to reboot into recovery, and the phone just stays at the Samsung screen. I have tried to plug it into my computer, and the computer recognizes it as bent plugged in, but does not allow any access.

What can I do to make this right? I need answers as soon as possible guys

I have personally had this issue. If he odins the cwm2.5 file he should able to boot without wiping everything. His phone is trying to execute the boot to recovery command and since there isn't a valid recovery its just sticking at the boot logo. Flash a valid recovery. Let it execute that action and then reboot and all should be well. It worked for me and I just figure that is probably what's going on here as well. Worth a try

I just did some modem testing on my 3g speeds using the app "speed test".

Just wanted to post some pretty crazy results. If everyone else could post their results in this thread that would be great :)

EF10 Modem:

169.3 Kb/s Upload speed

Curious to see if EF02 works better on everyone else's device. Let me know :D

[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
What is so big about the modem? Its a placebo effect for you guys just like a lot of people think updating a PRL gave them better signal? Funniest one I heard was a PRL update gave them better 4g speeds...almost as funny as a update profile gave them better speeds too.

[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Your PRL updates the towers with 4g or 3g service. If they have been built or put into service since the PRL was updated, then you will see better service.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
On 4g there was about a 1mb/s difference of EF02 winning over EF10. Upload still hit the 1.5mb/s cap, though went a hair higher higher on EF02. My GPS hit instantly on my exact location both times on EF02 and behaved slowly like normal on EF10. It lolligagged for a bit and the stumbled on my location like a drunk in a James Joyce short story. I will be enjoying EF02 modem for a bit while knowing there is a stupid software upgrade, 1 useless cliack way.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Did 3 tests and averaged 1870 kbps @ my house on 3g on EC05 Modem.

Did 3 tests and averaged 1900+! kbps (third speed test was 2077 DL!) on EF02 modem.

EF02 modem definitely better than EF10 (at least on 3G). 4G speeds were about the same between the two but for 3G with 5/6 bars (3G speed here is real ****ty but it should give you a good comparison nonetheless), EF02 modem yielded about 461/455 kbps and EF10 yielded a disgusting 130/242 kbps (from the same exact position).

UL faster than DL??

I am averaging about 150kbps down and 215 kbps up with approx 175 ms ping on 3G?!? this is on EF02 I am running ACS 1.2 with the twilight kernel. Numbers were approx the same on EF10. I cant remember the numbers on EC05, but I know they were higher. Any thoughts on why upload is faster than download?? that should never be the case!

I've used your vidoes the last 2 nights for EF02 and rooting it with odin.

Since my data speeds on EF02 modem are 300 - 500kpbs, would ef10 increase this and where can i download and install manually? I can't get it OTA for other reasons.

AFAIK, the Gingerbread leak borks the GPS on my phone. I did a nandroid back to Stock, where it works fine.

Now, I haven't fully tested any other Gingerbread ROMS yet. Froyo-based custom ROMS work good. I flashed faux's AOSP, but then I reverted back because I had work. I'll do some more flashing, but in the meantime I would like to know if your GPS works fine with that and other Gingerbread ROMS, and also if your GPS does/doesn't work on Stock Froyo. Thanks. ^^

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
Hi guys, I've just recently started becoming curious about NANDROID and it's capabilities...

I understand that it is basically an "image" of your HD etc, but to what extent?

The main reason I'm asking this is because I've tried flashing (twice) to CM7 and both times I had issues with it so I had to go through the process of reverting back to stock ROM, then a hacked ROM then to Darky's etc etc.

So is it possible to take NANDROIDs of both CM7 and Darky's and just restore either at any time?

I believe that CM7 runs on an MTD filesystem (or whatever it is, it's different to the stock ROMs) and I may run into issues if the correct files aren't flashed beforehand, but will the NANDROID backup/image all of this as well?

So in short, can I NANDROID for example: Froyo 2.2 stock, Gingerbread 2.3.3, Darky's 10.1 and CM7 and switch between any and all of them at any time without running into file system issues or any other issues?

Thanks very much in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
No you cannot. Because: CM7 runs on froyo bootloaders and Darky's 10.1 is Gingerbread and requires Gingerbread bootloaders and these can only be changes via odin. I don't think nandroid backs up the kernel either so you can't move from GB to Froyo this way either, but you may be able to just restore your data (apps) between froyo and GB(I haven't tried).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
Ahhhhh ok, thank you very much for the reply.

I was under the impression that NANDROID took a whole image of everything, but it does not.

So does this mean that to go from Darky's to CM7, I just flash the EZBase 2.2 then restore CM7 via NAND?

And CM7 -> Darky's just EZBase (optional/unnecessary, correct?) > GB > Restore Darky's via NAND?

Thanks again for the reply!

When moving between froyo and gingerbread only restore apps, NOT apps+ data, or you will encounter problems

GTi9000 insanity cm012/glitch
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
I'd say to go to CM7 from Darky's GB flash either the 2.2 Ezbase or froyo Ezboot(search it up), and then flash a CM7 kernel(either stock or Glitch or whatever) then format system, cache, data and datadata then restore.

Then to go from CM7 I'd go Ezbase Gingerbread then install a JVH kernel(Ezbase is JVB and the kernel isn't compatible with JVH) via odin then restore. I'd be careful though, I haven't tried this out and I don't use CM7, it's probably easier to just pick one or the other, follow the proper procedures to get to it without shortcuts and stick with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
I'm assuming you mean when I restore apps using TitBackup?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
Ahhhh I see... I will have to do a little more research.

I'm in the process of trying to decide which one to stick with.

I've only just started flashing recently so I don't know a whole lot, especially about versions and compatability.

(So this means I can skip the EZBase 2.2 and just go with EZBase 2.3? I didn't know there was a GB EZBase, hehe)

Darky's was the first custom ROM I ever flashed and I absolutely loved it, but I had heard about CM7 and that it was much more customizable and quicker and this and that so I decided to give it a try.

The first two flashes of CM7 worked ok, but I got hit with a force close loop caused by switching between 2G/3G and as a result went back to Darky's. After a few weeks I've found out how to apply a fix and it has fixed the issue and now CM7 works well (flashed + fixed a couple days ago).

But now I'm having issues with the phone shutting itself down (or screen not responding to buttons so it stays dark, unsure which. I can't hold the power button to turn it back on but I can enter download mode, so I'm assuming either the screen stays off or it is stuck in some kind of semi-awake state.) and also the battery doesn't last like Darky's did...

So I'm thinking of just reverting back to Darky's for now, might come back to CM7 when there is a stable release or something like that.

Sorry to make you read all that, but anyway, the help is much appreciated! 8D
