I used to have root on my optimus v. When I purchased my nexus s I decided to unroot it and try and sell it. I had a few problems unrooting due to superoneclick freezing but when I tried to get root permission in the terminal I was denied, so I figured I was unrooted. However I recently went to factory reset the phone, so it would be back to it's original state, to sell it. Well, now my phone doesn't load anything but the RA recovery I had installed when I rooted. So I tried to install the stock recovery and rom again, but it keeps giving me verification and script errors. I can't get to USB debugging mode to root it again, so I'm kind of stuck in a loop. Anyone have any advice? Very frustrating since I'm rely on this phone until my nexus s get's activated.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jimmynidas:
Well, after hours upon hours I finally got adb and fixed it. Now I'm off trying to figure out how to stop this from happening again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] InfiniteRisen:
Next time try disabling signature and script verification.

Is there a cm7 or miui.us with working ffc?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
I'm not sure what camera comes with them but I know Simply Honey 3.8 has a ffc.apk you could try to push that one and see if it werks for ya. Good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
To get ffc working, you need to push a few .so libs from the galaxy s CM7. It is explained in the CM7 FAQs
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverAMD:
CM7 and Miui roms for geeks )) - look Stock MIUI.US(1.7.8)(Stable)

they say its stable ) lol ! nothing stable)))you will loose baseband- gps -none- wifi issue ffc reboots ect)
[G Tablet General] shorzfam:
I have a 1.2 branch G-Tab with Andriod 2.2 (Froyo) running Brilliant Corners but I have noticed that a lot of people seem to be running CM7 (CyanogenMod 7?). I was under the impression that CyanogenMod requires Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), doesn't it? How did everyone get Gingerbread on their G-Tabs? Does it update when you load the CM7 ROM or other Ginger edition ROM?
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
CM7 is Android 2.3. So when you load it onto your Gtab you will actually be running gingerbread instead of froyo. Since you are running 1.2 based brilliant corners (which is a rom i would really recommend) you would have to switch bootloaders to a 1.1 version to be able to load Cyanogen Mod. It really comes down to what rom you like the best. If you are more of a "noob" who wants all the features possible, I would stick to a Froyo based rom, because video acceleration as well as everything else is possible. Basically the further you step away from android 2.2 the more things start breaking.

2.3 --> video acceleration (main)

3.0 --> camera, flash, video (main)

I hope this helps.
[G Tablet General] pgadler:
Cyanogenmod 7.1 on bootloader 1.2 is also available on Slatedroid an perhaps more. I have tried it. Nice, but as said, Froyo-based ROMs are the only ones that work 100%. On Cyanogenmod 7.0, gyro messed up Army. Iper, on 7.1 no sound at all.
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
I was totally gonna add that section but for some reason forgot :p I have personally tried them and they work well. I just said 1.1 because that is what it was initially developed on. Something tells me that sooner than later the Cyanogen Mod team will make the bootloader switch when they really start seeing their work ported to 1.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggshaped:
Sorry if this has been asked before but I have searched and didn't find any answers.

I have never been able to restore a nandroid backup on the Galaxy S. I go through the restore procedure in recovery and everything seems to restore correctly, no errors reported, says restore successful, but when the phone boots up from recovery it hangs on the boot screen.

I've tried with lots of different roms/kernels. I've wiped thoroughly before restoring. I'm even trying to restore from the same version, i.e. JVH or JVP, always the same result. I'm not trying to restore between cm7/samsung roms or froyo/gingerbread or even different versions. An example is, I was on Darky 10.1re. I did a nandroid. I tried a few other roms (F1, GingerReal, Tweaky), tried to nand back to Darky's, appears to restore without problems until the reboot where it hangs on boot screen. Also tried to restore to nadroids of the above roms with the same results.

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong, I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious as nobody else seems to be having trouble with backups.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitmaster2000:
I could imagine it would be hard to point out what the exact problem is, unless someone has experienced this issue before. Which I haven't, sorry. Not on my SGS, nor on my SGS2. But it sounds like a compatibility problem to me. You say you've never been able to restore, have you had the same problem with Darky ROMs prior to 10.x, perhaps 9.5? Have you used Darky's Dark Core kernel along with it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabessius:
The same thing is happening to me. Used to nandroid restore on froyo and never had a problem. The last 2 times that I tried to restore (with Ginger 2.3.3 and 2.3.4) I had problems, both times with Criskelo´s rom and Darkcore Kernel. The restore begins normally but suddenly stops and there is no way to revert the semi-brick other than odin. BTW, I never use lagfix.

Used nandroid backup and restore successfully on gingerbread on both speedmod and galaxian kernels

Sent using geek power
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yken:
I have same problem and i ended using nandorid backup which is very usefull.

I think this started at beginning of Gingerbread kernels using.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggshaped:
Thanks for your suggestions. The first rom I installed after buying my Galaxy S was the current Darky one at the time, v10 rc something. Didn't try the older ones. At first I always used the Dark Core kernel, even with other roms. Still couldn't restore.

I've also tried a mixture of roms/kernels since then with no luck with the nandroid.

Could it be something to do with the recovery? I noticed different roms/kernels install a different recovery. Maybe it's only possible to restore using the same recovery as was used to take the backup? But if this was the case, surely other people would be having the same problem?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yken:
Darky kernel had a restore problem once but they solved it now.

"Changelog 2.5:

Fixed Nandroid Restore through CWM" from darky forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggshaped:
Yes I remember reading about that. That's what I put it down to in the beginning, but now it's been fixed and it still doesn't work for me. Not even with other kernels.

Well, it's not the end of the world I suppose. Just makes me more reluctant to try different roms as I'm too lazy to go through the whole odin/flashing/restoring process every time lol.

Thanks for your suggestions guys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rv73566:
With Dark Core kernel 2.7.x and 2.8 i have the same problems when i'm on rfs, backup function is ok but restore doesn't work. With ext4 conversion enabled backup and restore work as they should.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggshaped:
I've found a solution, just in case anyone else is having the same problem this is how I got around it.

I downloaded and installing the latest cwm using Rom Manager, so any backups are taken on 3.0.0.5. When changing roms I had to download and install the same recovery with Rom Manager and restore using the same 3.0.0.5. For some reason it only works when using rom manager. If I try to restore manually in recovery it doesn't work. If I try to restore with any other recovery version it doesn't work. So for me my nandroid backups only restore between the exact same recovery versions.

Sounds fairly obvious now, after thinking about it lol, but this has been giving me a major headache for weeks now.

Maybe I posted this in the wrong section,so sorry,asking to Zecanilis ;). Do anyone have an iPhone here? If so,anyone can tell why Android/iOS is better? I don't wanna know it,wanna know your opinions only :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
So,I prefer Android because it's opensource (:p) and because it's more "customizable" ha :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
Wow, why do we need a topic like this ? Sorry, but if you write this on Google you can find thousands of them. This will only end with flames and fights. Nothing useful.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
Yeah,infact I firstly posted and already-existing thread and I had to change thread theme. I apologize for this but what could I do? :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Actually, I like such threads, because they remind macfa...uh....macfans (:D) to keep quiet when it comes to comparisons to Android. Android is superior from almost any point of view.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
Yeah. But... I have to admit,for me AppStore games are better :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
adobe ceo has said that apple can only dream of flash coming to ios because they are simply not going to make adobe flash of ios...

this is BIG + for android...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Care to explain why? 'Cause both AppStore and Android Market contain their fair share of crap.

@ccdreadcc: True, although with the advent of HTML5 I'm not sure how long Flash support will continue to be an advantage of Android...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jasonhunterx:
Android wins do to notifications the apps not games there more intgrated with the os an its changeable u can change everything an make ur phone look diffrent an i enjoy that no 2 phones look the same an iphone there identical but they do have better games an browser is better with pinching an zooming but my sgs is a little faster with apps closed but with stuff runing its laggy an ios is mostly smooth all the time but they dont have real multi tasking

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Feeshie:
You honestly can't go wrong with either and really depends on what you like. Honestly, I think why iPhone sales are so high is because people are misinformed about the product. Everyone gets it because they have been told to or think its cool since everyone has one, but at the end of the day both operating systems can do the same or maybe better(android).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vip_blast:
I'd say both have their plus points. I've got my O1, which is my first android device. I love the ability to customise each and every part of it. We are all fans of this OS, we already know how great it is :)

But what I don't like about android, is the lack of quality content on the market, specially for low end devices like ours. I've got an iPhone 3GS too, and when you access the appstore on it, there's lots of great stuff out there.

Another downside is the lack of software optimisation. We got great hardware, with ****ty software: not a great combination. For e.g. my old iPod Touch 2nd gen still runs every damn single game I put on it without a drop of lagging, whereas we all know what happens on our O1. If we did not have such great developers here, we wouldn't be enjoying our O1 that much. :/

And before someone says something like, "you got a weak device, you should buy a SGS2 or whatever to feel the true power of android," I got one thing to say: each and every one of apple's products are optimised directly from manufacturers, their users dont need to depend on external developers. We can't say that much about our devices though. :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ElGeorge:
Well my experience with iOS comes from an iPod Touch 3rd Gen that I've owned for 1.5 years, and my experience with Android comes from my O1 that I've owned for 2 weeks.

As others have mentioned I love my O1 and I think that Android as an "OS" it's definitely great, and I believe that if we were to compare iOS Vs. ANDROID only at the "OS" level, the Android OS it's superior essentially because it's a powerful, open source OS that allows you to go under the hood and tweak it or improve it, whereas with iOS is just a black box that you access only through APIs published by the manufacturer.

The thing is that comparing OS to OS does not makes much sense to the end user since what's more important is comparing "The Experience" of owning and using a phone with iOS Vs a phone with ANDROID, and at that level I think that iOS/iPhone definitely provides a much solid, cohesive and overall better experience to the end user (at least from my point of view):

1-) On iOS the OS and the Hardware are "One", since we have one company that manufactures the hardware and builds and optimize the OS to run only on that hardware, providing a longer life cycle for your product since the strategy of the manufacturer (Apple) is not focused on launching a new model every 3-4 months (as it is with Android phone manufacturers). Apple's focus is actually selling as much of the same model as they can over a period of at least one year.

2-) The Appstore even though is much more restrictive (than the Market) provides a much more controlled and predictable experience for App Developers, because they only have to worry about complying with the guidelines established by their development platform, and not with developing an App that will have to run as good as possible on hardware created by 8 or 10 different manufactures who have 100+ different phone models. Volume becomes an issue and so far developers have more success selling a 99 cents app on the Appstore than selling a $5 app on the Market. Take a look at this post from a renowned Game Developer talking about his experience about porting a hit game on the Appstore to the Android Market

Bottom line is that it all comes down to the Apps more than the hardware itself (we know that phones like the Samsung Galaxy S2 beats the crap out of an iPhone 4 and basically anything else), but all that powerful hardware, dual core processors and beefy GPUs can't do much if quality Apps are not there to take advantage of it, and so far Apple has done a better job in creating a suitable environment for developers at all levels: Programming, Marketing, Billing and Post-Sales Support.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mprou:
When it comes to consumers (us) I definetely prefer the android cause i'm not willing to pay a sh1tload of money to buy a marketing bloat product which targets to rip off the ignorant gudget fashion victums. I want to be able to have a smartphone for 200 euros and to be able to customize it and use it the way I want and not the way they want.

And I don't want to hear a thing about better games etc etc cause if I want games i'll go and buy a psp and the total amount of money for low/mid-end android + psp will still be conciderably lower than an apple icrap:p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vador9:
I will write my opinion, but everybody has an unique opinion so it may not matter.

As stated above, iOs and the hardware of the iPhone are one, they are designed and built as an entity. The result is the most powerful phone. Apart from the antenna problem the iphone had, the phone is perfect. And it will still be. The single-core iPhone 4 runs as smooth as dual-core android phones. Because android phones took everything that was good in linux, but also what is bad.

Android is for the guys that like customization, playing with their devices. You will never have to jailbreak an iPhone, as it's os is godlike anyway. The nasty part is that most of appstore games cost $ and some people may not be so willing to pay for every app they have.

Apart from the price, ioS is better than android, and i consider that anyone who disagrees is just sad he can't afford an iphone.That doesn't mean android is not good, because it is excellent, but still not quite at the apple's product level. Peace
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Well I have also tried iOS, I own an iPod Touch 2G (MC, so it's the newer iteration). Sure, there are quality games by Gameloft & co. on the AppStore which also run alright on the iPod, but on 4.2 it gets really slow if you have any other tweaks on it, or if you activated multitasking and wallpapers.

What would definitely improve the Android experience is Gameloft getting their head out of their @ss and port their great games to lower-end devices as well. I really can't see what's the problem with minimum requirements for CPU and RAM if they really think 320x480 games would confuse customers, due to it being the most popular Android low-end resolution.

Other than that, Android is better than iOS simply because it allows you to do more stuff without hacks. First and foremost, the ability to use the phone as a mass storage device (Google should allow mass storage without additional drivers, it would be useful in certain situations, such as at school, where computers are usually blocked from installing drivers :rolleyes: ).

@vador9: Sorry mate, but you're just as much of a d*ck as the other Apple fans. I can afford an iPhone, but that doesn't mean I WANT to spend that much money. Partly because the only reason for that price is the glass in it. :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vip_blast:
You can actually do Mass Storage without the drivers. :)

And please, do not insult any other forum members. Whatever his opinion may be, its his, it should be respected. Its only a sharing of opinion, not a war.

Android has a great user interface, its highly customisable, it offers whatever someone may want. It's just that rare are the devices which really makes android look so good.

To explain this, I'll take the example of our fabulous O1. Forget about the pricing, let's just analyse the phone in itself: a nice phone, with great features, and a wonderful OS. The OS can do pretty much everything. Now where is the problem? LG, LG is the problem. I agree we paid for a low end phone, but that doesnt mean it should contain ****ty bugs, like the screen lag for example. Even with gingerbread out, it still has not been solved.

Its often the device which holds many a problems, not the OS. This is where iOS has an advantage, it's been used only on a couple of devices, and both the devices and the OS are manufactured by the same company. This causes a great optimisation. For example again, on any iOS device you may not be able to send a file via bluetooth properly (limited by the OS), but you have a smooth touchscreen with no lag at all and you almost never have an error popping up now and then (from the manufacturer).

Moreover, when we say "Appstore offers a larger range of quality apps than that of Android Market", its not just about games. Often basic apps are of much lower quality on the Market, e.g. compare the Facebook app on both platform, and you'll see that the Android version is weak.

Overall:

Android wins when it comes to customisation and performance (provided you have a good device), and iOS has an upper hand when it comes to best user experience and high quality apps :)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
You can? Please enlighten me, I thought it really needed the LG Android drivers for that.

Also, he insulted us first, by implying we all are too poor to get iPhones and that's why we're jealous and say iOS is worse. :mad:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Kira.Lawliet:
The appstore on iphone is quite huge and has a vast amount of apps compared to android atm ofcourse

Android market is still growing.. Who knows in the future it will have more apps :) plus:

:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
My take:

Fun in ios is limited to appstore. Which is not bad actually. Huge no of apps working good on iphone and ipod.

In android we have market + lots of customization stuff on market + roms + lots of hacks.

From price point of view i think Ipod touch 4g is a good choice as compared to iphone. There is a little piece of equipment through which you can have gsm calls on it as well. Iphone's price, i think, does not justify the power it got.

As for the power of os, i think android is better.

But i wish there should be more choice in smartphones. But ios currently lacks customization as i have heard.

Nevertheless, future beholds good for Android, Windows 7 Mango upwards and IOS 4.

I wish they keep neck to neck with one another in future.

There is one more thing. Android is not limited to just phone. Soon it is going to permeate and pervade any damn imaginable digital device on earth.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hon kin:
i do own an iPad. Hah.

Anyway, what attracts me is the solid build quality of apple product. You can spend the price of a Samsung but you get the quality of HTC[at my country at least, the price of galaxy tab = ipad2]

Appstore is a bit superior to the Market too, as it has more well-developed games, apps, programs. You can see various games are ported from iOS to android[Angry birds, Cut the rope, etc...]

However, i must clarify that the notification that android has is just awesome. i hate the fact that i cant see all the notification with iPad, while on my P500, i can simply drag down the menu to see things, switching the wifi, BT on, and more... And multitasking skill on android is another killing advantage we have. If you guys had an Apple product, i can pretty sure that you will end up with frustration when trying to open 2-3 apps simultaneously.

Thats my current thought... =)

Edit: Oh, and one more thing, with apple, you only have one choice, which is the memory capacity, while android, we have 100x more choices than apple. You want a cheap, powerful phone? P500! Camera phone? Arc/X10! Superpower phone? Galaxy S2! Durable? Defy/G'zOne Commando! =D

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Icemaine:
Well my opinion is Apple is evil outright. But they do make some pretty stylish toys most of the time. Plus you can boot Android and Ios on an iPhone if you know what your doing. But I would have to say Android wins here for being open. Apples restrictive nature I think is what turns a lot of people away from iPhones including me.

So Android better.
