The problem is I don't have the phone and I don't wanna brick someone else's phone

I'll check the script as soon as I get back home

Try using check fus(Google to find out what it is)

If there was a way to get back to stock (or we Odin version to be used and had the needed files it'ld be easier)

Is apk manager asking for dependency while decompiling?

If so, drag tw-framework-res.apk into the window when it asks(its in /system/framework)

Ext4 partition would be better for link2sd, but the kernel would need to support ext4

Compiling kernels isn't so hard, you need to have knowledge of c & Linux
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
i'm tired of bricking my phones LOL

we have no firmware available for this device yet.

i've checked these places:

http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...ash-files-t-series&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f200/request-any-samsung-firmware-here-389972/index522.html

http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm

so basically what we have to work with right now is a dump file - thats all

yes, thats the exact problem. i will try that tomorrow, tyvm! i appreciate your help.

if only the stock kernel would support Ext4. We have to settle for Ext2 for now i suppose.

i'm lost in this category. i can use cgywin and only to a degree.

i'm hoping someone else can pick this up.

just want to say thank you for your tips and knowledge.

you are appreciated here.

Just found one thing, they havent uploaded kernel source yet

https://opensource.samsung.com/

SGH-T589 is the model number right?

They ought to release it as the linux kernel source is under GPL, but GPL allows a period of 3 years to release source, lol...

You guys rock...thanks 4 tinkering ..I can't do much compiling or coding..but

I can be one hellva beta tester providing a somewhat safe brick back method in case errors do occur. I might even be as daring to flash ahtards rom tonight..if I get done in work in time..maybe I can hit you up via skype or something to go threw the update process step by step..that way you know progress and hopefully success in realtime...

We have delevopemnt awesome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
thank you very much for the script! i will try that one later this evening when i have time.

EDIT: did you have a chance to look at the one i created? should i add a init.d folder with a placeholder? i haven't included any scripts yet - but i'm sure having it set up for scripts would be pro.

just a thought - should the script also format /system/app/ and /system/framework/ since this is deodexed and people will likely have odexed system in place?

excellent! thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
yes that is the model number - funny its the same for the galaxy q too

nooooo. 3 years??? lol.

hey i'll be up all day so if anyone wants to chat about this and maybe work on it a little bit, here is my number. 515-822-7969. i would love for all of us about what 10 of us in this thread or too new people join a live chat where we can all talk instantaneously while working.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeD215:
I also have a question..I already have the 2nd partiton and link2sd app running smooth...iirc the last time I messed around with roms and having flashing on the lg optimus assuming that its like darktremors a2sd app..that if I still have these apps on my sd card then update your rom will that cause bootloop because the filesystem is looking for the links and apks from stock...maybe maybe not since u already included link2sd as ..a app...hmm I guess that's why its trial and error ..hopefully we don't brick on this issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
OMG YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!

this worked perfectly!!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

i now have the slide out keyboard hotkeys defaulting as follows:

messaging key defaults to the messaging app

social network key defaults to facebook

with this i was able to remove drivesmart from the settings menu + the drivesmart app

with this i was able to remove notification slider from the settings menu + the notislider app

with this i was able to remove social networking from the settings menu + youtube and glympse

with this i was able to remove messaging from the settings menu + cloud texting + zipwhip

with this i was able to remove software update from the settings menu = its irrelevant with a custom rom - it wont do over the air updates anyway

it all works perfect now!

i'm waiting for a response on my updater script question formatting /system/app/ and /system/framework/ folders before i continue...

also cdesai - do you know if these instructions will allow me to create a reboot and recovery option in the power menu or is it totally different for touchwiz roms?

woot! i'm excited!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
quoting bosna110 ---- "What about the recoveries? are they made for this phone yet?"

no recoveries are ported to our device yet m'friend...

did you get your phone working again?

i have the slightest clue on recoveries or kernels - i'm really sorry i can't progress in that department

BUT - we do have ROM progress thanks to cdesai!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
i believe its fine. in fact, i used a bigger sd card already partitioned from my lg optimus t hard brick and plugged it in. when i opened link2sd - i went to the "clean the 2nd partition" option under settings - more and it cleaned it and started using it just fine.

if you are really concerned with it though, i would just repartition it, its not difficult or time consuming.

EDIT: DO NOT FLASH DARKTREMORS MOD ON THIS PHONE RIGHT NOW = A BOOTLOOP SOFT BRICK - i know this from experience
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosna110:
yes, my phone is working good. it just runs out of battery really fast. im getting about 5-6 hours on a full charge. Im not using gps or wifi much if all. I would love to help any way i can if we can get together and work send me a txt i left my number up above on this page i believe
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeD215:
Bosna you arnt the only fellow with poor battery life..

Mine is about the same even with a task killer ..with data

It just doesn't last a day with usage...I would love a phone

that can with stand a day ..everyone says some phones are different...

But out of all the android devices I've used except maybe the g1 I have

Always suffered threw poor batt life..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
my best results were with not using a task killer on this device in particular....

seems wrong, i know, but thats my experience...

almost done with this rom... it will be safe to flash, lol.

this week or weekend i work on performance scripts and memory scripts to help things a little more. main focus right now is just to get this rom going, but, i promise, its on my to do list...

edit: use titanium backup pro and freeze gallery3d and see your battery life increase =X

also use no frills cpu app and set the frequencies to 320 min 800 max - helps a little

the phone defaults to 245 min and whatever is needed for max - 245 min makes it work harder when starting up, especially frequently.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
ok here is the rom...

safe to flash - so flash away

i'll post details later - have to catch up on home stuff
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosna110:
one question, how would i flash the rom? we dont even have a recovery made for the phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeD215:
Sweet arhtard I will try those tips for batt life..will post results of the test..

He said to flash the rom is to put the update.zip in the root of the sd card..and then holding the t/5 button while holding the power button after powering off..were using the stock recovery bra.

---------- Post added 25th October 2011 at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was 24th October 2011 at 11:47 PM ----------

Yahoooo ....

I literally just flashed the rom with success..it did give me some umounting errors when I tried to wipe the cache and stuff..something about a unmount error ...I think because of the second partition...

I updated with ease...but unfortuantly I did lose all my apps because of the clear but not my partition..

Oh well I guess ill have to re install then re link ...bummer but shouldn't take too long...but hey if that's the least of my worries I will take that for a winner...damn it feels good to be on the first functional rom..

Love adw and the wallpaper..like the status icons even unsure of what g means on the signal bar ..love the android coin boot..and the black pull down...and its sure is speedy wow...good good work arhtard..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
if you freeze gallery3d - i'd download and use quick pic app - its very small in size and works great

correct

i'm glad it went well for you. are you pretty good at setting up link2sd and making sure things are linked? i literally love this phone now. i hated it so much at first i went and bought a optimus t, lol.

i also had an unmount error when wiping with the stock recovery... if memory serves right, it said failed to unmount /cache. not sure why the stock recovery couldnt unmount the cache, but everything is working right, thank goodness, lol.

i'm gonna have to say that having to reinstall the apps was my intention, i wanted a "clean install" to prevent problems because this is a deodexed system now. it was odexed. so my intention was to clean everything and then install, so there would be no problems. i'm sorry that i didnt make that clear. my next goal is to get a reboot and recovery option in the "power menu". i chose adw because you can "lock the desktop" to prevent moving stuff, if its in your pocket. launcher pro doesnt have that option. the g on the status bar is for 3g, just showing the current signal reception. the coin boot is my favorite - other than a white matrix movie style. the black pull down is more appealing than the ugly grey one. could've chose blue or something, but i like the "sense" look, kinda glossy.

so i'm going to do some more tinkering and try to get darktremors app2sd mod integrated with the rom. wouldnt that be nice to not have to manually link everything?

just partition sd card, flash rom, never have space issues.

i noticed there were a couple more apps remaining that could be safely removed still. i left them for convenience i would say. if i remember right, my account, facebook - only because there is a hotkey on the slide out keyboard that needs to go to something, and i'm not certain but i think device carbon can be removed.

regardless - as long as the phone will boot, we know we have something to flash to get working again, lol. so its probably safe to say "delete what you want"

the biggest issues with "bricking" and removing stuff was how lots of things were tied to settings - this has been fixed.

lets see what i can come up with for tweaks soon?

check the "spare parts" app i included, and set all animations etc to "fast" - i was like, damn, this is a different phone already, lol.

i also changed the "wake" keys, u know, which buttons wake the screen from standby. only the power key and the home key will turn the screen on. i did this because if you're like me and keep it in a case on the belt or in your pants pocket, sometimes the screen would come on just from walking or whatever. this should help save on battery life a little.

click on the rom in my signature - its one i cooked for the optimus t - built from firmware. kinda proud of it, lol.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
if i can find the extra time, i will make a zip with the apps that were removed for those that may want them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candymanmike:
Thank god! Finally a glimmer of dev hope! I'm ready to flash right now, stock recovery or not! I was hoping for some o'c love too, but ill take what I can get. Can't wait for apps2sd to work for us. The internal memoery on this. Thing is ridiculous. What the hell were they thinking?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
haha i agree with you mike!

if you tear apart the rom they built, it would seriously blow you away with all the crap they included on this phone that has hardly any memory to begin with, compared to other devices with similar memory, i.e. LG Optimus T.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candymanmike:
Question, is there some setting that doesn't allow the download of .zip files? I keep getting an unsupported file message when I try to dl the rom. Sadly my laptop took a crap on me and this phone is my only web access atm too... grrrr!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
ahhhh dang. i'm not sure about that, i've never tried to download a zip on the phone itself.

i really dont know what to say to help at this point. i'll try searching for a little bit.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlindWolf8:
Flash 'n' go?

Hi guys,

A friend got this phone recently. For clarification, I'm assuming I can just clear data/cache and flash this bad boy right from the stock 2.2.2 ROM/default recovery? I just want to be sure since I've never flashed anything but CWMR/CM7 before and I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks all!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candymanmike:
Found the solution. The phone by default doesn't support .zip files, but all you have to do is install astro file browser from the market and it adds zip support. Downloading the rom now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
@Arthard yea the link you posted will work, the basic structure of the framework remains same across all of the devices

And as this is a Samsung phone, add download option too(just in case some more info leaks)

Gonna contact samfirmware, you too do the same
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
the update binary from uot galaxy wouldnt work - still using the other binary

the only thing the other binary does is delete the /data/app/ after it installs, so i cant add any extra apps without making them system apps.

just created a darktremor mod rom - flashing now - will post results

EDIT: darktremors app2sd mod installs but won't load without having a boot.img/kernel to modifiy so we are stuck with Link2Sd app and manually linking everything =(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
yes - that is correct

flash this from stock recovery - power off phone, slide open keyboard, hold down the <t/5> button and the power button till recovery shows up - wipe, wipe, and flash update.zip
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeD215:
yea lol I'm pretty well aquainted with link2sd to now..thanks to your detailed steps a while back.. I get it now totally and it makes sense why to clear apps ...

Back to the g in signal ..I see it on 3g which it does have that icon next to it you know with anim up downs and then when I switch to edge it still has it..so I'm guessing it means (gsm) then. Idk maybe wanna switch the icon set in a future rom release..

None the less with spare parts and the cpu tweak of 320/800 ...sure does feel like a loved phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosna110:
i think i will just wait until a recovery manager is developed for this phone. i dont feel good flashing this rom with the stock recovery. Its just me. But yeah.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
ok here is the latest rom: http://www.mediafire.com/?wfadmsctablo4do

has the latest superuser app and binary

has the latest gmail app

has the latest Link2sd app

included the latest quickpic app and removed gallery3d (flashplayer is installed so videos play without gallery3d)

added sd card speed tweak

added battery tweak

added text editor app

added a nexus live wallpaper

added latest adfree app

added latest terminal emulator app

added barcode app

added latest no frills cpu app

added latest file expert app (has root permissions)

added latest spare parts app

added adw notifier

removed: gallery3d, memo app, pin it widget, my account app (can get from market)

and probably a few others that i have probably left out due to bad memory and bad record keeping skills...

note that these apps added are added as system apps so they can't be linked to sd and take up system space, easy fix to uninstall the ones you dont want.

so i'm wondering something though -

if someone with a non rooted device flashes this rom through stock recovery, will it be rooted without using something like superuseroneclick???

superuser and binary is included + busybox is also included...

logic would point to flashing this leading to a rooted device???

i mean, i left out superuser and busybox on one release by accident and i had a non rooted device...

then i added superuser and busybox on the next release and i ended up with a rooted device...

so this would eliminate having to root the phone - am i correct?

i have worked on the power reboot, recovery, download menu mod for the last say 6 hours without success... i'm just going to forget about this mod for now...

i was using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811532

i got it to show the icons and reboot, but only reboot, no recovery or download or power off options... =(

gonna read up some more on binary scripts and then make a new thread in the software/hacking section listing this as a rom... i'll post a link to it in this thread when i do.

no sense in having to scroll through 7 pages in this thread to find the rom to download - dont u agree?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
its your phone - do what you feel comfortable with.

do note that i have flashed about 12 releases (tweak here - tweak there, remove this - add this) of this already in the last 2 days without problem.

No, I somehow managed to mess the phone up worse than it was to the point where i had force closes for everything. Thanks for everyones help though. Luckily my replacement will be in friday. Am I going to root this one? Of coarse I am lol, I'm just going to be a little more careful this time. Does anyone have a detailed tutorial of the easiest wway to partition the sd card? I will use Link2SD. Does this just basically trick the phone into thinking it has more internal memory? and will pretty much all apps install to the partition?

I do have SDK Tools on my PC if thats what I need to do it but don't know much about the use of ADB.

Dude, do you really have anything better to do? I find it very offensive that you keep saying bad things about me, can we just move on now. God. Let me give you an example. But please dont relate this to me in any way.

Remember when Cyanogenmod released his first version for the G1?

I surely do becuase i had the G1 from a while ago. Everybody was using his rom and "modding" it in their way such as "making a theme, adding scripts, ringtones, wallpapers, transitions animations, bootscreens, and other things."

Now again if you think that i would steal your rom, i really dont know what to say anymore. Quit whining okay. I will ask the moderator to remove my thread from the XDA okay.

there are several ways you can hack/develop a rom. If you have a windows machine, it might tend to make it a little harder to develop. But if you have a linux machine prefferably a ubuntu distro, it will be much easier. atleast it is for me. It does involve coding if you want to really make the rom top of the line. but i am not advanced enough for that part. what exactly are you trying to learn. i mean what process.
