[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ErvMeister:
I got it from the market, i don't use the Terminal Emulator but what is SSH? I frequently use 4shared.com and share files between my phone and my Mac. I am planning to install the ICBITNB ROM tonight. I think i'm going to uninstall BusyBox. Don't feel as it i need it.

Thanks for everything
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
You need busybox. I consider it part of root. It's not like it is in your way. You should keep it because programs like titanium backup need it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ErvMeister:
Well i have Better App Manager, i do have titanium backup as a backup to better app manager. Thanks for the advice Jager555. I'll keep it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axxonX:
Im looking for a guide and/or files for rooting a US wifi xoom that is already on 3.2 stock & locked.

Anyone know where to find this?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunschrein:
So I got my Thunderbolt a while ago and finally decided to root it. I first flashed the CM7 ROM and really liked it except for the fact that I couldn't get the GPS to work. I would really like that feature so I decided to try a different ROM. I flashed the BAMF 3.0 stripped ROM and really liked it, but I couldn't get the data to work. I tried installing the MR2 and MR2.5 radios and nothing seemed to fix it. Ended up installing Liquid Gingersense and still no data. Am I doing something wrong on whole or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Did you happen to take out the battery during the process of switching things around? The battery cover not being completely snapped in with cause the problem with data. I also hear ppl say that if they go into the LTE settings and switching the network type to something else like LTE mode and then back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto fixes the problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunschrein:
I guess I did end up pulling the battery a couple times through the whole process but I think I've got the cover back on all the way. Why would this cause a problem? Is part of an antenna or something on the cover?

Also I have tried multiple times switching to all the different options between CDMA auto, CDMA only, EvDo only, CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto and LTE mode and I never get anything better than cell service. Never any data.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Yea the battery cover completes a connection for the antenna used for data. Its the weirdest thing but its a common cause for data loss with people.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunschrein:
Hmmm, crazy, I do see it now. You know that may have been part of my problem last night. There was a point that I had the battery cover off for a while I guess. But wouldn't it be fixed as soon as I put the cover back on? I'm still not getting anything now?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Doing a restart after replacing the cover might speed up the phone finding a data signal again but if that doesnt work it might not be the issue. I looked at the Gingersense's page and notice that the radio he recommends is the official 2.0 radio which is the newest one we have. I dont know that not having that would cause a problem but you could give flashing that a shot to see if it gets you data.

Hi,

I flashed my i9003 to XXKB3 now i am not able to play .avi files before flashing i was able to play all type of video file. Now i cant watch any movies :confused:.

Please help

Thanks in Advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
If you flashed to KP9, Then back to KB3 you need to flash twice for certain things to get fixed. What firmware were you on previously? that would help

[Galaxy S II General] randy_khoo:
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S2.

And this question has been bothering me...

Why don't manufacturers release phones the way XDA people build/optimize it?

I mean Samsung/HTC/Moto could just scour the whole XDA and come to the point and realise that people do want phones that are optimizes, and compared to what they have made, it isn't optimized enough.

It just makes sense (to me) that they should look at what XDA has to offer, hire some of the brilliant developers here and create more optimized phones for the platform.

Am i thinking in the right direction? Or is it merely impossible?
[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
id have thought that the percentage of XDA users compared to total smart phone ownership is very minimal, most people dont care. we that do are in the minority!
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Because sometimes these optimizations cause other problems or are not really suited for a general public
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Phones are made for the general public, not people like us. Our moms and grandmoms should be able to use these phones, not 1337 hax0rs. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MadusDogus:
I had a rom on my xda exec it was 6.1 I dont know what version didnt do the flash

It had a streaming player built in that played youtube, now I have upgraded to a TOMAL rom and had to install the Streaming Player only IE explorer does nothing when I press Play Now on youtube and opera5 wont even give me the option, it just shoows text.

WTF is different with TOMAL? Why cant I play youtube when the previous rom did and Why wont opera display as IE does???

Its becoming a joke, every youtube app doeasnt work including the 1 on orb3000s stig and anyway, THE PREVIOUS ROM PLAYED IT NO PROBLEM! WHY NOT NOW???

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
As he said though just rename su to mu. Though I can kind of understand where Google is coming from seeing as I have had about four cease and assist letters for movie piracy.

Hmmm So we need a SU/MU toggle. ;D

Nice, maybe its time to make something.

Wow! Am I ever glad my Inspire is purely stock and unrooted! I had been thinking about rooting it. Not now, though. I feel fortunate to be one of very few people who have not rooted their Android phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
You are missing out on the fun mate
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Deffinitley missing out on the fun. After playing around with my rooted inspire I could care less about being able to access Google movies.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I see what you're saying, but if this were truly the case shouldn't Google be doing anything they can to provide media content in a legal manner to all of their customers? Yes, I've rooted my phone, and I would have gladly used the Google Movie service, but since they won't let me, I guess I know how I'll continue to get my movies... If anything this move pushes users back to piracy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Lmao really? So because I have Google movies (which cost) your happy U didn't root? I have 87 movies between three sd cards but I have zero idea where I got them :-P. Stock? Never again

Wow! Am I ever glad my Inspire is purely customized and rooted! I had think about Google movies. Not now though. I feel fortune to be one of the rooted people who don't have to pay for overpriced movies on their Android phone.

Movies don't show up on rooted inspire using coredroid. But shows up on stock flyer. Doesn't bother me one bit though. Torrentz is king.

Hi, What about battery consumption?

In my experience I met only `gurmands` versions of 2.3.4.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] traffic22:
this rom have the same bugs that the mini cm7? ... wifi and gps doesn't work for me! :/ thank for you rom :)

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Renegeits:
how is about the camera? only VGA?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] biscoitu:
Pls, read every rom about gingerbread and you will see that everyone is VGA Limited. The cause, is that we don´t have the libcamera sources, so we can´t make it at the moment. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kuyagaol:
"gurmands" :?

ive check nobodyatall miniCM too, tiwlan.ini has a slight different to our stock rom.

(i suspected he using mini10 stock too).
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] cruizz:
This is just some suggestion mate ;)

to OP : for fixing the wifi use stock tiwlan_drv.ko n for compass change the akmd on bin also rewrite the ramdiks 'cuz i've seen :

# Needed for AKM8973 support

on early-init

device /dev/akm8973_aot 0660 compass system

device /dev/akm8973_dev 0660 compass system

on minicm7 ramdisk (init.delta.rc)..rewrite it to akm8975.

hope this can help you for the bugs as i know because i have allready implement it too on my shakira.

regards,

cruizz ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ctinro:
You're right kuyagaol: I ate an `o`. Maybe I was hungry :) Yeap! All ROMs based on 2.2 are not battery consuming, despite 2.3 which `take pleasure` in consuming the battery :D. For the moment I'm really impressed by HAKA's GingerFroyo v1.4.16. For me, it has one single bug - the radio, but the battery lasts more than three days, in normal operation!

Has anyone managed to remove the ugly Cincinnati Bell decal logo off their vibrants? If so, how did you go about doing this?
[Vibrant General] kawika:
LOL, I've seen that logo and its substantially more obnoxious than any other logo I've seen. I can't remember exactly but I think its up at the top alot like the T-Mobile logo is just ALOT BIGGER(a pic might help maybe?). If it is then I know the Otter Box case covers up that whole section. It will still be there but at least you won't have to look at it anymore. Good luck!:)

Two reasons - the screen protector bubbles around it and two; everyone and their cousin asks you why there's a sticker on the front of your phone.

[Vibrant General] jahganja:
Comes right off

... if you just use a little bit of isopropanol and a kimwipe (or if you don't have that, try using a non-scratch dish sponge)

Guess what it says underneath?!? T-mobile LOL
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
If it's just a decal, heat it up a little (leave it on your dash) and see if you can't get it off then. Several years ago I owned a small graphics company and we used this stuff called "Vinyl Up" to remove anything with an adhesive. It's very gentle and doesn't eat paint. That said, it's a little expensive in this context.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtbot:
I'm using CM7 with Imoseyon's leanKernel in battsaver mode. When I press the power button, the screen lags to turn on/off. Sometimes when I press the button to turn the screen on, it lags so much that it times out before I unlock it and turns off again.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Check your min clock speed in your settings. If it is at 245, your phone may be a bit slow to come back to "life" (on any custom rom). I use Bamf and noticed the same thing. Set my min to 345 and don't have the issue anymore.

You said you are using battery saver mode. That mode by nature is going to undervolt and conserve as much power as possible. It's kinda like when your computer comes up outta sleep. Doesn't take as long as a complete reboot, but does take longer than if the screen just shut off.

Your mileage may vary.

Ahh thanks a lot. Seems that did the trick.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m4nu4l:
Hey everyone, i just created a boot animation for my GT540, im a big fan of swiftdroid, anyway... heres my problem

i moved it to Root://System/Media

So i have 2parts in my bootanimation

Part0 which plays only 1 time and goes first:

Part1 which loops and goes after part0:

Everything works good and i really like my work, but the problem is, I see Default Swiftdroid logo at the start for like 10sec, and only after few seconds my animations pops up, is there anyway to remove the Default swiftdroid logo so my new animation would replace the Default swiftdroid logo completely ?

If you guys can help me, ill provide link of my animation, and instructions how to install it :S

a video will describe my problem better ( sorry for low quality, i just didnt had a better camera to film it )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOtODDxYOUw my animation starts only at ~0:45sec
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
The swiftdroid logo is held in the kernel but if i remember there is a way to replace on the htc g1 ill have a look for you.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
i dont know if it just on my computer but it look to me that part1 coud cause someone an epileptic fit. :)

@eoghan2t7

it would involve using the dump_image binay to extranct the boot.img. then decompiling it, replacing the image(i think it in the ram disk which also needs decompiling separatle), then recompiling boot.img and flashing it.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m4nu4l:
Does the images flash black/white to you ? :s
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
It is the initlogo.rle file that is shown on boot, it is in the root of the ramdisk. Just use dsixda's Android Kitchen to extract the boot.img file, much easier than manually doing it.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m4nu4l:
Thanks man, ill try it!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
BTW, .rle is a bitmap-type file, but I think it is compressed, Paint and many other conventional tools cant open it, but I was looking somewhere and did find a converter, i'll have to check that out.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m4nu4l:
That would be great :s
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
The name of the program you need is called to565. It will need to be compiled, but here is some info:

[Thunderbolt General] xEVILFREDx:
It seems that since more developers are leaving XDA, and members are flocking to there forums or other android forums. Now I know XDA for quiet some time. I just wish they change some of the ways to certain things. We probably have all developers and more. Support now for the thunderbolt is getting less. Developers who supported the thunderbolt are harder to find. At least for me, I feel like I might need a change very soon since the support for the thunderbolt has lessen.

All I am trying to say is why XDA can't just adapt and have disclaimers for users to understand they need to READ to understand there device and what they are doing to it. Root , and roms updating has risk. People need to ensure they cover every side they read before they do anything on there device.
[Thunderbolt General] mthe0ry:
I like the "thanks" system on xda but to me it really seems there needs to be a way of giving individual posts negative feedback. most social surfing websites have this feature and the ones that implement it well really improve their posting community. The steps are quite simple:

1. Create a social currency (already exists in the thanks meter system)

2. promote the currency so that users really value it, create a culture based on the currency (hardest step)

3. give users the power to say "yay or nay" on any post and again push the culture to participate

4. Add to or detract from the users currency balance based on the votes their posts receive.

5. Below a certain threshold the posts become invisible unless you specifically want to see them
