Is CWM v3 (as used in Semaphore) reliable ?

At the moment I'm very happy with my config, then again something is itching to try ICS. I'd just fiddle with it for a few days and put the nandroid from before back.

From what I gather, I should be able to get back by :

1. flash stock with pit

2. Semaphore kernel

3. put nandroid back

Anyone tried something similar coming back from any CM-based ROM and successfully going back to the previous situation ?

I have encountered issues with that situation on my previous phone, that's why I want to make sure.

How Can i permanently disable the proximity sensor during phonecalls

The reason for this request is that my sensor freezes mine screen during phone calls. I have changed the sensor (hardware) but that didn`t fix the issues.

Ive tried stock roms, darky, cm7 but that did not help either.

Can you tell wich file or files i need to edit to permanently disable the proximity sensor for my i9000. When using miui roms there is an option to disable it during phone calls so i know its possible. I am currently on the teamhacksung ICS rom.

I know i am not the only facing this problem.

Please help us.

I just installed GO SMS and I like it, I want to make it the default texting app, so when I press messaging on my bottom bar it will open that instead of the built in app. How to go about doing this? I've made it the default app but pressing messaging still opens, well, messaging.

I have	a horrible signal in my apartment and about 1/4 of my texts fail to send, causing me to constantly manually resend the failed txt via my Samsung mms app on my captivate. Is there an app or possible way to edit the mms apk so it automatically resends the failed attempted message I'm trying to send so i don't have to constantly worry if a txt went through?

Hi, I have a problem!

When I enter recovery, I cant flash a ROM using the "install update from zip" recovery option

It aborts the installation because "No space on device" as a result of something to do with E:/

Why can't i flash this through recovery???

I am currently on JVT 2.3.5 I9000M

Dear friend,

I have a very typical problem. I hope you will help me out.

I have Samsung GT-I9000, with Gingerbread XXJVP 2.3.4 and Kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVP-CL264642 se.infra@SEP-40#2

Infact I upgraded my I9000 to the above version using ODIN. Since then, my PC fails to recognise the phone. I get message saying One of the USB devies connected has malfunctioned. When I check in Device manager, it is shown as Unknown device.

-I tried installing 64-bit drivers from Softpedia for Win 7(Home Premium). It didn't work.

-I tried installing Drivers using Android SDK, still it didn't work.

-I tried update.zip from various sites, always it gets into Android recovery mode 3e and fails t check signature. I tried to go ahead by solutions suggested to sign the update.zip file

-I tried installing z4root app, to root and then may be install new firmware using rommanager, z4root hangs in this case.

-Connecting to different ports of PC, still the same.

-Connecting to a different PC, very interesting scenario:

I connected to a system with Vista32bit, I recognises it in Kies mode, but not in Download mode. Unfortunately, for the version I installed, Kies says it can't upgrade my device.

- I tried with Ubuntu too, still it doesn't work.

Please help me out.
