asian froyo is there but cant update via kies it says cant upgrade this firmware it means this is not correct one :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey! ;)

Jep its there, but its too ONLY FROYO. I dont see any GB or something else. Because you cant update, there is NO update yet, like 2.2.3 or something else. There is ONLY 2.2.1(FROYO).

CHEERS! :cool:

[Xoom General] imbonez9:
Does anyone know how to partition the Xoom so I could say put about 10gb for another Linux Distro instead of just running it as a "live cd".

I want to also put BlackBuntu on here thats why but be able to run it full not just through a VM.

Thnx
[Xoom General] timrock:
You should ask this in the development section. Might get an answer quicker.
[Xoom General] imbonez9:
I know but since its not anything dev and a question it doesn't belong there ;)
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
No,you shouldn't ask this in the dev section. The dev section IS NOT for threads of questions of any kind.

OP, I am pretty sure the way you are doing it is the only way ATM.
[Xoom General] imbonez9:
And thats why I posted it here ;) n dam ok, I wanna install crap but if reboots don't want to have to do it all over again... Thanks. Thinking if i can just partition 10gb to it would be perfect for installs and such.
[Xoom General] gqstatus0685:
Not to threadjack but I have a question myself. I installed Ubuntu running through VNC and I'm missing my browser. How do I get my browser? What is the difference between the version I installed in the dev section and the version you are trying to install?
[Xoom General] imbonez9:
My version of Linux is Pentest where they are just wanting "vanilla" Ubuntu. Mine has extra things included in it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Liscadipesce:
I'm looking to mount my Transformer in my car, and I'm going the ProClip/Pad Tab way. However, I'm reluctant to taint the back side of my transformer with the Pad Tab, so alternatively I want to stick it on the back of a hard case of some sort that I can attach/remove easily for when I'm heading to the car.

Does anything like this exist yet? All I can find are folio cases and cloth-like cases that wouldn't really work for this particular set up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SoCalTiger:
I'm 90% sure it does not exist yet.
[HTC Sensation] _Kyros_:
Hi everyone. Just got my S4G from T-Mobile a few days ago and I was wondering if there was some kind of hack or something to change the Notification LED colors cause it just stays green whenever I change it through other apps. Does it support other colors?, if not that would suck cause I really like that feature since I've been used to it coming from a G1 to a Nexus One to this. Thanks for your time.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
The led doesn't have any other colors besides red, orange, and green

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] _Kyros_:
I was hoping that wasn't the case... damnit!... oh well it's an amazing phone, thanks for the quick response.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
yeah I was a bit disappointed too. oh well
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Once we have root we can change them to whatever we want.
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
Not really. LED used in sensation only supports 3 colors. This is hardware limitation, not software.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
****e ! Where's the specs on that ?
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
On my desire (which I already sold), I can change the colors of notification for my sms through Handcent SMS.

That is without root!!

Poor sensation can't?? :o
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
No source. I was looking through dmesg and that's all I saw (where it initializes LED). I would love to be proven wrong though.

A few things.....

1) This is a ROOTED ROM method.

2) This is a DEODEXED version, originally derived from RaverX3X, dsexton702, samfirmware, and penguin0609's various postings.

Many thanks to RaverX3X, dsexton702, DrHonk, Krylon360, penguin0609, whitehawkx, and others for their work. If I missed your names, it's not on purpose, it's that I'm getting old....being in your 40's sucks sometimes.

This requires Heimdall. A link to Heimdall for Windows is here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/az3ia99by9rgcdf/heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip

This is a Heimdall ONLY solution. You only need to unrar the link attached (yes, I use RAR. Sorry - but it's an all in one solution that allows me to manipulate RAR, ZIP, and TAR files.) into a directory. Get WinRAR (from rarlabs) to undo the file. MediaFire also has a 200mb limit - RAR gets me under that limit so I can get it to you all.

When unRAR'ing it, you will see 8 files and a folder. The folder contains the root_patch that is required to root the SGS4G.

This is a modification of what dsexton702 did. Steps are as follows:

1) Download the Heimdall suite file here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/az3ia99by9rgcdf/heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip

Install Heimdall, including the drivers. Read the instructions included.

If you have Heimdall 1.1.1 installed already, skip step 1 and go to step 2

2) Download the ROM file here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?09ok3m4j0sqw8kt

3) Unzip the ROM file to a directory.

4) Open Heimdall

5) Match the filename to the PDA/Code location. In other words:

FactoryFS = factoryfs.rfs

Kernel = zimage

Param.lfs = param.lfs

Primary Bootloader = boot.bin

Secondary Bootloader = sbl.bin

cache = cache.rfs

Database = data.rfs

Modem = modem.bin

6) Put your SGS4G into download mode. Click Start. Wait until the green bar goes all the way across and it's done.

7) Reboot to Download mode again

8) Close and re-open Heimdall. Click and browse zImage to the directory "root_patch". Choose the zImage file there. Click Start.

9) Let the SGS4G go through the Fugu bootloop a couple of times. This is where your SGS4G gets Rooted.

10) Reboot to download mode once more. The standard download method should work with this.

11) Close and re-open Heimdall. Click and browse the ORIGINAL zImage (NOT THE ROOT_PATCH VERSION!!). Click start.

12) Let the unit flash, then reboot. Download busybox to verify Root.

I've done this a few times with my SGS4G. Let me know how this one works.

[Update notes]

- This may give you some fritzed up screens, then return to normal. I don't know why this is happening, but if you do get it, post it (and screen captures or vids) here and grab RacerX3X's attention to it. He needs to see some of it.

- This will give you root if you follow it.

- This should work with the STANDARD download mode method. If you find you are NOT able to get into the download mode with the normal method do this:

remove battery, start heimdall, insert USB cable, push vol down + home+power, then insert battery.

Right on. Ill try this after I flash blackice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Icedorb217:
Hey just flashed it. I got that weird screen thing. It bootloops for a bit then just times out, and boots fully. Anyways I cant access download mode anymore. I tried the combination above, and got nothing. Also I'm on the root_patch zimage so using adb is impossible. Can someone help me out here, the last thing I want to do is call T-Mob and ask for a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
There are a few ways to get download mode.

#1. when the phone is booted up with usb debugging on, use adb to send the following command "adb reboot download"

#2. power the phone off, hold volume up and volume down, don't touch the power button.... just plug the USB cable in.

let me know what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Icedorb217:
Thanks that vol up and vol down combo worked. Im starting to hate this. With every flash theres a different combo to get into download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
no its because he based this rom off the work i did on modifing the sbl pre gb which it was vol up down insert usb for download mode vol up down power for recovery.

its odd u got it working i may have seen the error of my ways when i repacked the rom its possable the order of the files may have some how borked when it installed causeing the issues if people are getting pre ginger boot download and recovery codes and the rom is fully functional my thanks to you for fixing what i couldnt fix..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
Yep....and I'm very thankful you did the ODIN version so that we can also play with the Heimdall install.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
yw actually it might be possable to reflash this with odin if you repacked the roms in the proper order i think thats where mine failed and u all had so many issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
I used to be a little intimidated by heimdall but with sound directions it was a breeze. thank I guys. I'm loving the space. All I need is a kickbutt boot and status bar, which I can't wait to try cooking up in uot kitchen.

Much love to all I geniuses
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wyvernwaddell:
Heimdall error..

I tried this method exactly by the directions and Heimdall keeps telling me

Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.

IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon

What am I doing wrong? I'm on Ubuntu 10.10. Heimdall worked fine with my Vibrant..I don't have any trouble getting into download mode..it just can't flash once I get there..adb even works..

I already updated my udev to include the SGSII4G

Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
why the hell are you flashing KF1, it may brick your phone. Also this isn't the SGSII4g, it is the SGS4g, so if you have the wrong phone, then you will hard brick. If you have an sgs4g(SGH-t959V), then flash the Heimdall version of KJ6. Then flash the kernel by bhundven beta 3. This will give you CWM. Then flash valhalla, valhalla black, AOSP Style, or Octane 3.0. I recommend valhalla black or AOSP style.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
This is why I was trying to get the mods to open up a leaked ROM section in the forums, that way we would have the official roms and leaked roms that would really only be temporary. If you guys could please contact the mods asking them for something similar we can avoid having newer users flash unstable roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
good point.

We need to get all devs to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Well, from the looks of things, it won't.

Lufc doesn't think it is a good idea, and that's pretty much that.

Maybe a better choice would be to compile a thread with all of the historical leaks and roms, and ask for the original threads to be deleted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
well, that just killed that.

Also, BD, do you think that the G1 will get Cm9?

Random question.

G1 took an hour to boot CM7. I doubt CM9
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
it already has ics... go look for yourself... search the forum ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kryptonik:
I just flashed Steel Droid 7.1.1 Gingerbread on my Droid today, from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098483

I did the install using ClockworkMod v2.5.0.1, and included all of the optional .zip files included on the above thread.

The Droid will boot into the ROM, but it will proceed to reboot in 1 minute.

I wiped all data and cache using ClockworkMod prior to installing the ROM. I've also wiped data and cache and rebooted, but still get the same, strange behavior.

I'm currently reverting to a backup with nandroid, but I'd really like to get Steel Droid working if possible.

Any suggestions on how to get this going? Anyone else have problems with the Steel Droid 7.1.1 on the G1 Droid?

[Update] I've successfully flashed the latest Cyanomod such that the Droid does not suffer from the reboot problem. It was version 7.0.3 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Motorola_Droid

Thus the issue seems likely to be specific to Steel Droid 7.1.1.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sline-dawg:
I've been running this ROM for a while and like it....reminds me of UD...wonder why ?? I use RZRecovery and flashed just the rom and have had good luck so far....

My D1 likes froyo better..... yours might also....:)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kryptonik:
That's the funny thing. With Cyanomod 7.03 I'm running Gingerbread and it's very happy, so I don't think it's a Froyo/Gingerbread problem.

Is there a difference between flashing with RZRecovery and ClockworkMod?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sline-dawg:
yeah, You'll like RZ much better.... Fast and easy to navigate :)

you can always go back.....:rolleyes:

Hey people, currently had a problem with trying to find out colour codes for adw. for changing the app drawer background. i wanted a semi transparent blue. and i found out how to do it and thought i would share with everyone 2 sites which show you all the colours with their codes for you to do this. the first link will be to the colours and the second link will be to where it shows you how to make them transparent/semi transparent.

http://www.december.com/html/spec/colorhex.html

hope this helps people :) and dont be shy to use the thanks button :P
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kaukassus:
these aren't just for ADW.

these are the usual Hexadecimal color codes (R, G, B, A) channels converted into HEX.

and these aren't all colors.

there are about 1'681'375 different HEX colors. ( alpha channel not included)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mikeinessex:
either way is it not right to say that if anyone wants to play with the colours of their app drawer background they have a big selection of colours to choose from and be able to play with the transparent levels? its something myself have always wanted to know. something clear and simple for me to work from and i thought i would share it with people cause i havent seen a thread like this before

EDIT: if you have something better for people to revert to when changing their app drawer background then please share it with this thread

Hi,

Could someone please enlighten me as to the advantages and disadvantages to these two methods of updating my phone. In particular I would like to know:

i) Will updating with either of them un-root my phone? (I am running rooted stock KE7)

ii) Will either of them wipe my phone, or do I keep all my apps and stuff?

iii) Any big advantages of one over the other.

Thanks

This is an easy way to fix cwm if u downloaded rom manger and used it.

Just get root explorer and search clockworkmod. Delete the files that pop up it should only be two then download the recovey bin from krylon360 cwm thread and follow those steps. Make sure to delete rom manger idk if it helps but I just removed it anyways. Once u do all that turn your phone off and boot in to recovery. U should be on krylon cwm 3.0.2.8 I think it is.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldfish2:
I upgraded from 2.2 stock to CM7 and I only have half my contacts (maybe just the just my google ones) and none of my SMS texts even though I did full backup/restore of all user and system apps.

I've seen a suggestion to use SMS Backup+ for the texts (donno what to use for my contacts), but I'm not sure how to get that info out of my nandroid backup.

So my questions are:

What can I do to backup contacts?

Do I have to revert to my nandroid backup of my stock rom and then go BACK to CM7? How do I do this? Couldn't I just restore the nandroid to my android SDK instead of flashing my phone twice more?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge561:
Titanium backup cant backup text messages. You can download an app called sms backup and restore to do it. It creates an. Xml file on your sdcard. When you want to restore your text just download the app on the new rom and restore the. Xml file. Contacts are backed up through google. When you create a contact its best to choose the "google" option to create it under and not phone. That way their backed up to your email account. NEVER backup and restore system data in titanium backup. Only backup and restore all user apps.

Obi Wan, your my only hope!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldfish2:
Those are good tips for the future (and I will do that in the future) but they don't really help my present situation.

How do I rescue my contacts that I didn't save to google and my text messages from my Nandroid backup of my stock install? Can I load the nandroid backup in android-sdk? Is there a specific place in the nandroid back up files I can look for those things? Or do I have to restore it to my phone? and if so, how do I do this? Won't I have to revert to the stock kernel first? How do I do this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge561:
Oh yea, easiest way is to restore your nandroid backup. Then you can do those things I told you for the sms. The phone contacts should be backed up to google, but you may have created some under phone. Go into your contacts and backup your phone contacts to a . Xml file also I believe. Then you can flash your new setup and restore your text with the program I recommended. Your google contacts should load when u sign into your gmail account. Then restore the phone contacts. Xml file in your new Rom and all of your contacts should be there.

Obi Wan, your my only hope!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
Titanium does in fact back up text messages. You can try and restore your contacts and texts a second time in cm7 if you just select the individual backups to restore in titanium instead of restoring all backups. Contacts and sms are backed up and are highlighted green. Look for backups starting with [Contacts..] and [SMS...]. You might try changing the settings in titianium to "migrate system data" this might help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeychef:
I would suggest using lookout security for your contact backup. It is also good for protecting against malware and whatnot. The backup feature is fantastic though, I use it a lot (I flash a lot :))

I had Nokia E71 before and could stay online for almost two days in 2G with 2-3 IMs (Skype, Nimbuzz, IM+ etc) in background. But My SGS2 only lives 3-5 hours when i have IMs online. What is the reason? is it normal? I measured the power consumption -it is about 200-300 mA. Does anybody have the same?
[Galaxy S II General] Cetin:
Hey, mine with the IM+ app was same and I installed it from the beginning. I wondered why S2´s battery drain is such bad.

BUT I uninstalled it few days ago and I was surprised how good stamina now is.

These days I trying eBuddy and it is much better than IM+!

S2 is now usable again for me.

Beyond this it´s running CsipSimple too (SIP client) but this one is not a battery killer. On top I´ve got this crazy app "Tikl" and it´s in background running too.

Think it depends on which Messenger app you´re using. They are very different in programming quality.
[Galaxy S II General] Jebus99:
So ebuddy is a better battery conserver than Im+?

The reason I went with IM+ was its ability to do multiple sign on's (so both computer and phone could be signed in) and push messages...can ebuddy do the same?
[Galaxy S II General] Max_C:
Thanks! I will try eBuddy. Pity it does not support SKYPE. By the way, i contacted IM+ support, they replied "This is a known issue. Our development team

is working on it and it will be resolved soon. Please keep an eye on the updates"
