Its a pita xda dosent get more credit for all the help they give.my captivate would have been tossed in the lake along time ago if iwasnt for them.do you guys remember waiting for samsung to release froyo?
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
I actually didn't purchase my Captivate until I was sure it was going to be supported over here at XDA.

Yea, we all deal with lots of spam, n00bs, stupid questions, etc... But at the end of the day, this is a strong community of creative and intelligent individuals trying to get the most out of every drop of silicon in our phones.

I've been around these parts substantially longer than even my account shows, and I've never once been disappointed with the rigor and creativity of the people here.

Long live XDA, and long live original thinking!
[Captivate General] sepherian:
My captivate was boring before xda, then xda saved my ass
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
If it wasn't for XDA - I would have an average so-so Android phone that is stuck with TouchWhiz, horrid GPS, and still on Froyo.

But.. with XDA - I get my choice of custom ROMs (thanks to the Chefs/Devs!) and get to rock Gingerbread and have a somewhat working GPS :D
[Captivate General] theevildevil:
Saviours indeed!

I cannot count how many amazing posts have saved my previous investment!

Hats off to all the uber intelligent and patient folks!

The best thing I like is that not only steps are given but also an explanation why to do them :) (although not always at the same place but nonetheless thats what search functionality is for :D)
[Captivate General] RAID Xero:
Amen to that.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantWind:
typo on the title, i meant New captivate user needs help LOL

Hey guys,

I've gotten myself a Rogers Captivate (SGH-I896) running Continuum v5.5.

Model number states GT-I9000 with baseband I9000TDVJP9, Build GINGERBREAD.XXJVO

I'm not a total noob since i have a Nexus S and used to own a t959 vibrant, but seems like the captivate is confusing the hell out of me lol. Here are a few questions i hope the community could help me out with

1. Boot up screen states GT-I9000, so i guess this means this was flashed with GB Bootloader? i'm assuming we dont have official Gingerbread on the captivate hence the need for the GB Bootloader (Please correct me if i'm wrong)

2. i have used ODIN on my vibrant many times. Now do i need to download a specific version for the captivate or is ODIN the same for all Galaxy S phones?(Please note that i have the AIO Vibrant Toolbox so ODIN version is the one that comes with it)

3. If i want to change ROMS, to lets say the Sensation ROM, can i flash it using CWR or do i have to change bootloaders first? and Can someone kindly tell me which ROM can i just flash on top of my current ROM.

4. If i want to start all over again and get back to stock, what are the steps i need to make. can i just put it on download mode and Odin back to stock the same way i used to do it on the vibrant? or do i have to change bootloaders first.

5. Lastly, is there a big difference between the AT&T and the Rogers Captivate? Am i able to flash all the custom ROMS here or do i have to find specific ones that will only work on my version?

You may have noticed that the bootloaders are my main cause of worry, coz i know that a mishap with those would cause a hard brick. Hope someone could give me a few minutes of their time to help a captivate noob get started on flashing these amazing ROMS on my captivate. Thank you!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
1. Yes, You flashed the i9000 GB Bootloaders that are compatible with our phone. If you look on the forums there is a one-click for the kf1 bootloaders that are made for our phone and much harder to brick.

2. There is different odin oneclicks for the captivate and different files for odin. Not all galaxy s files are compatible with all the different galaxy s devices. Be sure to download captivate specific files. If they are not captivate specific make sure they are known to work with our device, the safest way to do this is to stick to files on the captivate forums.

3. I typically 1-click back to stock jf6 and follow steps to flash the new rom when I want to flash a new rom. Be sure not to use the old 3 button fix and I would be hesitant to do this without a jig ready if my 3 button didnt work out of the box.

4. Odin 1-click JF6(NOT the 3 button fix) should have the primary bootloaders, it has always reflashed the eclair/froyo bootloaders for me and seems to be the best way to restore factory settings, from there its easy to update using Kies or to flash a custom rom through CWM without even rooting. All you need is to install it with an update.zip you can find on the forums easily. Edit: If you are trying to get to stock for warranty exchange you'll have to find rogers specific stock roms which are on the captivate android development forums. AT&T Roms should work with rogers with proper APN settings though(at least thats my understanding. I am on AT&T and have an i897)

5. My understanding is the phones are the same hardware wise just the APN settings differ. I may be mistaken though and you may want another more informed Rogers user to respond to this question.

Hi,

I am new to this whole app programming thing. I am trying to write a music player that can play music in the background. Therefore, I also need to write a service.

I already finished the music playing part but I dont know how to use the volume rocker to change the media volume when the app is running in the background.

I used: this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MU SIC); to accomplish it in the app activity.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelozap:
Hey guys, you can add the tap to focus feature in the nexus one camera app? The feature i'm talking about is like that one which have the htc devices. There's a way to do this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Yes. Install a relatively recent version of CM7 to get the feature support. Then you simply enable it by selecting the Focus Mode "Touch".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FC1032:
Most custom roms should have this. But you could also use apps in the market.

I remember camera360 had that feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hightower68:
Ok I decided to root my phone. Now all hell has broken loose.

I had a working xxjvr working on my phone. All was well. So I decided to root the phone as per all the hype.

Following instructions to the letter, I proceeded. It failed. Some error message. I restarted the whole procedure and same thing. Now I get a little PC connection icon.

Toiok out battery. Managed to get into download mode, I think that is a good thing at least, and Reflashed the phone. Now it gets stuck at firmware update start. boot.bin and just hangs. No progress. Ive retried this 3x.

HELP I hope its not bricked now all cause of a damn root attempt.

I can get into download mode but NOT recovery mode. I thought I could at least clear the cache but attempting recovery mode and the yellow exclamation connction to pc just flashes back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopyDog:
As long as you can go to the download mode, you have no brick. Just flash the stock JVQ (not the KIES variant) with PIT + repartition.

Edit: Can't find the thread, but the link was

http://www.multiupload.com/20DJFPXKL3

Edit2: A good, non-overloaded root kernel for JVQ is here (and on the next page for JVR also):

http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/samsu...36-kernel_ohne_schickschnack.html#post1580443

(Post #19) I use it with no issues and misbehaviour so far. After download, just rename the file from .tar.zip to .tar and flash it with odin.

I personally use JVQ + this kernel + JVR modem, cause GPS fix is much better with the JVR modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hightower68:
Ok Finally after 8 attempts it went through. One of the attempts was a locked green screen. Ugh.

Now im freaked about rooting the phone despite all the hype and i wanted to apply the lagfix.

So now the one that worked is xxjvr. Perhaps I should just leave it. Any otherway to fix the lag other than rooting the phone? Im very apprehensive of rooting now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northern.dj:
You may find your Bootloader is messed up i have had this on loads of Gingerbread phones.

To Fix you need a Three file flash to Froyo with repartion ticked JPO Or JPU will do then Flash JPY then Flash 2.3.4 JVQ again this puts the Gingerbread bootloader back on

I flash JPY then let Kies do the rest Yes i no!!!! Kies But i no then i have a stock Bootloader on.

Flashing Froyo removes the bootloader and puts the old froyo bootloader back on also removes root as well

Make sure the first Gingerbread Rom is stock not a Light version

Then your ready to start all over again

Oh and Buy a Jig from ebay safer to have one then not
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopyDog:
Yes, flashing JVR reportedly may run into this. Read this here and in the other forum. Never had this with JVQ or any other firmware. I went back to JVQ.

And even if you see this little PC connection icon, nothing is lost. This normally appears, when ODIN initiated flashing, but did not finish.

Edit: just read this after i posted:

This is confusing:

JVO is 2.3.3

JVQ is 2.3.4

just to make this clear ;)

EditEdit: OK, you edited your post... now it says
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northern.dj:
Fixed sorry for confusion to much Beer last night
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopyDog:
Hehe, no problem :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hightower68:
Sounds like you are all suggesting i go and flash back to JVQ. Can a flash be done at same time while rooting the phone in the process?

Otherwise Ill jusst keep it simple.

Right now everything is working JVR but there is noticeable lag whereas before lag wouldnt occur until months of usage.

Albeit the Quadrant standard benchmark yields me 1381 which isnt bad for a stock rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northern.dj:
I would first take it to stock first you can flash Darkeys resurrection edition After JVO That Routs for you Puts CWM on as well I put this on if a customer wants his phone setting up for a custom rom Its painless through odin

Its just the Gingerbread bootloader its a pain

And its a Case of Rolling it back to go forward again make sure you charge your battery up to 100% to avoid and battery glitches later

Hello,

im Having an issue with a Touch2 Mega

It boots.. and after the HTC logo it says "windows mobile" and the orange screen and Bham! it restarts..!

i have tried flashing stock roms but they didnt help.. same issue

i cant install custom roms cause the phone is SPL not HSPL

i cant install HardSPL.. it doesnt let me install through bootloader..

Kindly Help me!!!!

thanks!
[Touch2 General] Hakim Rahman:
Maybe you can go back through the reconstructed ROM, this guide to perform http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6195121&postcount=1
[Touch2 General] Dragg3r:
@hakim

brother, the reconstructed rom process requires the phone to have HardSPL installed

All what you need:

* Original ROM (here)

* Custom Rom Flasher (RUU)

* HARDSPL (here)

* Dumped Rom (read below Step 1)

* Folder with programs (attached zip "_FilesNeeded_czdjj.zip")

And like i said before.. i cant HARDSPL my phone.. it just doesnt go beyond 0%..

Hello guys..

so post your problem here..

you can attach screenshoot if possible..

but before that you need to know about compiling and decompiling using apktool or something similar first, so this could help me easier to answer them..

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] QNBT:
I was wondering how i could change this area (see pic). I know that these files are located in SystemUI.apk but i dont know which belongs to which.

I would like to know the filename for these:

Statusbar, Carrier(Tele2) area, quicksetting background.

Also, is there any way to put a clock

next

to the carrier text?

Thanks in advance.

edit: How do i make it flashable?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] seilent:
You can find a nice tutorial HERE ;)

you need to edit the \SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml

then remove the line that contain this :

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock

and poff, it's gone ;)

Statusbar belongs to statusbar_background.png or .9.png. Also you need to modify \SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml open it with notepad++ and you'll see line like this :

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="[SIZE="3"][B]#ff000000[/B][/SIZE]" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

look at the #ff000000 part, by default it shows that our statusbar background is just a color, so we need to change it to image.. so replace it with

@drawable/statusbar_background

the line would look like this :

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="[SIZE="3"][B]@drawable/statusbar_background[/B][/SIZE]" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

Carrier located in status_bar_expanded.xml in line 8 that contain something like this :

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel

I think it's quite possible to place clock next to it..

try to add this below that line..

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textSize="24.0dip" android:textColor="#ff848484" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="1.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />

It should look similar like this :

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel android:textSize="17.659973dip" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="1.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textSize="24.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="1.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />

but I haven't tried it by myself :o

Quicksetting background located in \SystemUI\res\drawable-mdpi\quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png or .9.png

you can change it, but if you change the filetype from .9.png to .png and vice versa (like this) quickpanel_quick_settings_background.9.png to quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png..

you need to delete build and dist folder before compiling the file, otherwise you'll se FC in statusbar :D

To make it flashable I just simply take working update.zip file and change the contents that's my favorite, easiest and faster way for me :D

did you mean indexed in public.xml or indexed colors..? :D
