Well I did some searching and found this little trick to completely remove the soft buttons on the right side giving you a full screen.

WARNING!!

Installing the SDE software and rooting your device WILL void your warranty!! Rooting your device could "brick" it causing it to become useless.

1. Power on your device using the Developers Edition selection.

2. You must install the SDE software and do a permanent root on your device to give you full read/write access.

3. Download and install both Button Savior & Super Manager from the market both are free.

4. Open Super Manager and select "File Explorer".

5. Select "back up one level folder" do this twice.

6. Scroll down and select "system".

7. Long press on "board_properties"

8. From the menu choose "rename".

9. Delete the "s" and replace it with any letter you wish.

10. Tap on the "ok"

11. Back out to main screen.

12. Reboot using the Developers Edition selection.[/color]

Installing the SDE DOES NOT void your warranty. How many times to we have to have this argument? The only reason to send a device back is hardware failure, or you deleted the bootloader. Otherwise you can just reflash.

From Archos:Installing the SDE firmware is considered by ARCHOS as a voiding of the warranty and ARCHOS declines all liability and responsibility for any issues resulting from the installation of this SDE firmware.

Notice it says "resulting from the installation of this SDE"? They haven't invoked this right, as they cannot trace the failure to "the installation of this SDE".

If you send a device in with hardware failure, they will replace it, SDE or not. If you deleted your bootloader, that has nothing to do with SDE, and you've screwed yourself.

P.S. You can delete the bootloader without even having SDE installed, so once again, SDE does not void warranty.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
P.P.S. Rooting the Gen8 CANNOT brick the device. It can only brick the OS. Just reflash. That's why archos included a recovery bootloader.

And just so you know, this has already been posted in this forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1139882

Not trying to flame you, but I'm really tired of the duplicate threads and the huge warnings that sde "WILL" void your warranty.
[Gen8 General] Rockstar52:
Sorry I did a search and could not find any detailed instructions on doing it with out installing Urukdroid. As for voiding the warranty, I am correct. installing the SDE package creates a watermark which no matter how many times you re-flash will NEVER get removed. Once at the factory they look for and can see this watermark if this is here they WILL NOT replace your device. I have contact with many of the programmers from Archos. You can believe what you want but it will void it. And notice I said COULD brick it.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Sorry brother. I've been developing for almost a year with Archos, and dealing with they're support for 15 years. They will and do replace watermarked devices. I'm not gonna start a flame war, but I can put you in touch with a REAL archos employee, and they will tell you the same.

In fact, one of my devs just had his replaced with a brand-new-in-box 16GB model, when he sent back an 8GB with SDE and none of the original packaging or components. And it was sent from the Illinois warehouse, so it only took 4 days.

Also, the post I linked for you to the guide wasn't related to Uruk in any way. The method works for anyone with root that includes a unionfs. That includes chulri's method and the openaos multiboot.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Notice I said COULDN'T. It's not possible without editing the mmcblk0 device and deleting/modifying the bootloader.

Once again, I don't want to start a flame war, you can believe what you want, but I know the entire recovery system backwards and forwards. It's not gonna get bricked by ANYTHING but removing the bootloader. Even then, you can boot from usb with omap4boot.

Go ahead and reply with your opinion. I'll let you have the last word to avoid MrClown locking the thread. I swear I won't reply, no matter what. ;)

Hi,

I just got my Galaxy SII, and ofcourse first thing I want to do is update the firmware.

Pulse is awesome but it lacks one essential feature which they seemingly refuse to add: a mark as read function for articles that are synced with reader.

I only used pulse because greader pro wasnt available, now it is and the new honeycomb interface is awesome, I highly recommend it. News360 is another great news reader.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rlpowell:
So I just bought a Galaxy S 4G believing that it had CM7 support, because the supported devices page said "Galaxy S". :D Whoops.

So in the meantime, I gather that I can root it and use Titanium Backup Pro to strip out some of the bloat; are there any alternative firmwares or ROMs worth trying while I wait?

If the answer is yes, I've had trouble finding instructions on how to store a copy of the stock firmware for restoration, in case I screw up or need to return the phone or something.

Thanks.

You still have a heck of a phone... I'm running Black Ice, works well for me, I also have been test driving dsexton's "I can't believe it's not butter" rom and yes, it is as smooth as the name implies! I'm just not a fan of the stock theme. And it's very well tweaked... There's months of reading treads all consolidated in one single flash!

You can find it in the development section along with the specs
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
As QUIETLYloud mentioned, there is a great implementation of MANY tweaks in a ROM he referred to.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Abrahamz:
Hi, i am new in this forum so I may be like the noob you guys talked about in the first video, also i am not american so sorry for my english.

Yesterday i decided to play around with my phone, an optimus one with official rom froyo. I rooted it and then unrooted it because i realized that the official gingerbread room was out. After a few unsuccesful attempts of updating it from kdz (emergency mode, unplugged, took off battery, almost crying for my phone) when I turned it on it was okay, running gingerbread 2.3.3

I downloaded the rom from this website http://androidve.com/2011/05/como-instalar-software-original-en-lg-optimus-one-kdz-oficial-digitel-en-exclusiva/ and I thought everything was fine until the moment i realized that it wasn't what i expected. I wanted to install this rom because of a video I saw in youtube and i followed the link and it took me http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=946354. I read the thread and some of its post and decided that i want that rom.

Now, i have gingerbread and i know it can be rooted in a way i dont know anything about, i want to learn it. But my question is... If i already have gingerbread, do i need to downgrade to froyo to install the cROM of mik? or can i do it directly from a rooted gingerbread? if it is possible, can you please guide me on how to do it or give me a tutorial? I already looked for them and actually found some of them but because of the incidente of the last day i am scared of trying this stuff alone and i would really aprreciate your advice.

Thank you. (Sorry for the essay :S)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] InfiniteRisen:
There are already threads on how to do this. Also if you are to flash mik's rom then you have to flash old baseband since you have official gingy.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142105

After rooting to install a custom rom download rom manager from the market, choose rom from sd card, then choose backup rom and wipe data and cache. Then flash all neccessary zips you need after install.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Abrahamz:
thanks for answering.

Ill follow that, but where can i get superoneclick and pneuter?

I am guessing that to flash is to install, how do i do that? like an app from the sd?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] InfiniteRisen:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Psneuter is just the method process to root(select in super1 click)

To flash things go to rom manager and choose flash clockworkmod recovery.After that any thing you need to flash can be done easily in recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Abrahamz:
i ve done it and its all perfect except for the fact that i dont have service could you please help me, i had read something about updating radios and some stuff but i dont know what that thing is, i am wondering if that has something to do with the vpn.

Please help me
[Optimus One, P500, V General] InfiniteRisen:
You need to flash new baseband patch here:

http://www.multiupload.com/R9CEDO2HS9

Put zip on sdcard then go to rom manager and select boot into recovery

In recovery select install zip from sdcard, select the baseband fix and choose yes to install.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ventus_zx:
Man almost everyone on this site is rooted.... im just to scared of bricking my phone!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Abrahamz:
I was scared too, but after a few near-brick experiences i decided to give it a try. I even decided to go back to gingerbread with root because i wasnt able to call and all that stuff, and i was really freaked out when i was looking for a way to go back because my questions was not completely answered and i felt insecure. So i decided to give up for a while and then i realized i had made a backup from my ''gingy'' with the rom manager, and i thought it would restore my data and all that stuff but it actually took me back to gingerbread which was a relief for me.

Now that infiniterisen gave me the answer to my signal/service issue, i might try to do it again, because even though i was really scared while checking that i had no service, my android looked really cool and was smooth as baby skin :D

I cannot tell you to try to root it because if something goes wrong you would be completely free to blame me and because i am also new to this scene, but it is really cool and i personally like to try new stuff (even though i may cry if my O1 gets bircked)

I just don't know why they have to lie about the multitouch.

I don't need proof but i can post results if i need to.

It's a simple fact that if the device can ignore a 3rd touch and still accurately track 2 other fingers then the touch pad is clearly MT capable.

Many developers agree that the device is capable of MT but a method of flashing firmware to the chip is yet to be found.

I hope SE gives us MT to end this mission.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Why is it a fact that, if the digitizer can correctly track with 3 fingers on it, that it then is multi touch capable?

My X10 can't track correctly with 3 finger moving on the screen, so what device do you have?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I stated this before.

Install wolf breaks rom.

Open up development tools> pointer location.

Apply 3 fingers on the screen. hold them still for a few seconds.

Suddenly the tracking will jump.

Now you will notice that 2 of those 3 are still being tracked without error.

1. A few of the registers are disabled

2. The DT we have will cause the Cross axis bug without even crossing axis's

The DT firmware for the chip is programed to act that way.

3. The initial review stating we will get MT.

4. SE stating that the hardware can only do touch.

5. The following of DT from SE after the release of a online video with DT.

6. Third touch does not distort positional values.
