i fail to see how my comment wasnt constructive. ill be honest ive been around sprint android for a good min.. sure there are some names i recognize but i havent seen them put out roms yet (mikeyind and ptfmedic im looking at you two :P)

if you want something bad enough why not jump in and help rather then ask for it? my comment about we are waiting on you to make it still stands. its not going to happen without people stepping forward. with the epic touch coming out soon, face teh facts people this is the highest amount of development/users this phone will have. great phone, just overshadowed by two other phones at launch. once the et4g comes out a lot of people will leave here claiming development is too slow etc etc. what im getting at with all this is if we want this phone to succeed, we as a collective need to make it happen, no on eis gunna come in and start making everything awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] M@XLOL:
I've got a machine that can handle development (i7 6gb of ram and a ssd :)). I am going to join the irc more. I am getting my feet wet with theming. The atrix forum has a ton of great tutorials which I plan on reading. Did you ever get a photon shabby?

[Defy General] shorty66:
Not really. Try using a different kernel. Or just fixing kernel bugs...

Best example: the 2.3.6 kernel has a bug and thats the reason why all roms use the 2.3.5 instead even though the 2.3.6 has some improvements. If the defy was unlocked you could use the 2.3.6 kernel and fix the bug by using parts of the 2.3.5 kernel.

I want to install Darky (DarkyROM v10.2) - Will this work?

It will be much appreciated if someone can point me to the right direction because all the guide that I came a cross are saying if I am coming from ECLAIR and Froyo. and none is stating from the spec I have got.

any suggestions is much appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marser:
Quick Step by Step guide:

1- You have to look if you have enabled the 3-combo button and also I think it's good to do a EFS backup and save it in your computer.

2- Download Darky 10.2 Resurrection Edition and follow the guide to install it through Odin ( enter download mode, conect USB, check repartition, select pit file, PDA... Etc)

That has to work.

;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erakko:
Ok, here you go:

1. Download stock JVQ firmware (http://hotfile.com/dl/122481899/943a689/I9000XXJVQ.rar.html) and unrar it.

2. Download some kernel that supports CWM. Like speedmod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044519) Follow the link and bottom of the first post, there is links, choose one of those.

3. Download Odin 1.3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?zgbta2co4uyct2z) There is also 1.8 but 1.3 works well too.

4. Download Darky's v10.2 (http://www.multiupload.com/NFEDVYNHZX)

5. Open Odin, its .exe inside the .zip you downloaded.

6. Check you have only auto reboot and f.reset are ticked.

7. go to PDA-section: choose PDA file from the JVQ pack you downloaded. Its named CODE there. Then click the MODEM button and choose modem from JVQ pack you downloaded. Its named MODEM there. Then click CSC and choose CSC file from JVQ pack.

8. Put your phone into download mode: shut it down. Then click volume down, physical meny button and power button at the same time. It should show yellow and black screen with Android mascot digging hole.

9. Plug your phone in to PC. In Odin, you should see one of the little boxes turns into yellow. (if not make sure you have latest drivers installed, download KIES if you want them quite easily)

10. When the box is yello, click "start" button in Odin.

11. When it says "PASS" green box should appear and the phone restarts itself. Unplug your phone and wait till it reboots.

12. When it has rebooted shut it down again and put it into download mode again. Do NOT plug it in yet to PC.

13. Press "Reset" on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select speedmodkernel that you downloaded. You don't unrar it. Check that only f.reset and autoreboot are ticked. Then click "Start". It takes few seconds and "PASS" text appears with green box.

14. Wait till you phone reboots. Put Darky's ROM into you internal SD card's root. DON'T unrar it! Just copy it straight to you intSD card.

15. Shut down your phone. put it to recovery mode by pressing Volume up, physical menu button and power button until Samsung galaxy S thing pops up. Release keys and wait.

16. Now you have CWM in front of your nose. use volume down and volume up buttons to navigate in CWM. Go to "select zip from sd card". Click it with power button. Then choose Darky....zip there and click Yes when next menu appears. Texts starts to scroll and when its ready, click "reboot system now". It might do it by its own. i don't remember..

17. It takes some time till phone is ready and reboots.

18. Enjoy

ATTENTION! MAKE SURE YOU PACK UP EVERYTHING YOU NEED. DO ALSO NANDROID BACKUP IN CWM BY CLICKING "backup/restore" and there click "back up ALL" DO that BEFORE you install Darky things!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardabelati:
Thank you for the quick replies - much appreciated - I still have few things to confirm with you guys.

1. Download stock JVQ firmware (http://hotfile.com/dl/122481899/943a689/I9000XXJVQ.rar.html) and unrar it.

### Does this one has to be the JVQ? when I look at Samfirmware the JVQ is for Europe. I am in Australia - will this be a problem?

2. Download some kernel that supports CWM. Like speedmod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044519) Follow the link and bottom of the first post, there is links, choose one of those.

### I have looked at the bottom link and there are 3 options to download. which one should I download? is it this ??: File Type: tar	speedmod-kernel-k15i-t10.tar - [Click for QR Code] (7.21 MB, 3436 views)

### How do I install the Kernel?

I am very sorry if this is such very basic questions but I have tried to read it but I just can not get my head around it.

any help is much appreciated.

1 It isn't a problem

2 Yes is that. You can flash it via sgs kernel flasher (download it from the market) or via odin. You must put it in pda and flash without pit and repartition
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardabelati:
Thanks again.

I am so very close here - when I try to download the JVQ - my download manager is saying file does not exists. I go to samfirmware and it says the same. Can I use any other firmware ? Can I use my current firmware?

If I can not use my current firmware, which are the other firmware I can download and use.

so, correct me if I am wrong - I will need to download : tar speedmod-kernel-k15i-t10.tar and install it using apps from the market?

then I am ready to follow the full instruction to get darky on to the phone .

Hi Guys, I got to this stage :

16. Now you have CWM in front of your nose. use volume down and volume up buttons to navigate in CWM. Go to "select zip from sd card". Click it with power button. Then choose Darky....zip there and click Yes when next menu appears. Texts starts to scroll and when its ready, click "reboot system now". It might do it by its own. i don't remember..

### I can not find the the ZIP file of Darky - all I see was the folders which was previously in my SD card.

I already put the ZIP darky into the root of my SD but still can not see it.

When I check the the version:

Build number is Gingerbread XWJVN - Is this correct?

Kernel is 2.6.35.7 hardcore@speedmode-k15i-t10

firmware version 2.3.3

Please help

You must go in the folder of the zip file of darky rom. If it is in the ext sdcard choose sd-ext.

Darky doesnt support JVR yet.

and about kernel:

13. Press "Reset" on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select speedmodkernel that you downloaded. You don't unrar it. Check that only f.reset and autoreboot are ticked. Then click "Start". It takes few seconds and "PASS" text appears with green box.

Already told how to flash it :)

That download problem is strange... Try later again. I can't help with that.. :(

p.s. Don't worry your questions, its good you ask :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erakko:
sorry, i was late :)

so you have copied darky to your intSD card? can you see it if you plug your phone to PC.

You should be able to choose it from CWM.. how about is there something like "install zip from sd card" ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardabelati:
Thanks guys.

Yes, there is "Install zip fro SD card but when I execute it, it came up with unable to read of somekind....

Now I have download the Darky rom tool form the market. with this tool I can see the darky.zip file I put in my Sd card. but when I try to flash it it came up with :

runtime error:

Message:

and the flash does not happen. just stop.

Hmmm.... I wonder if I need to clear cache and factory reset it?

Do I need to install super user (busybox*su)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erakko:
Hmm.. it might be good idea. Do a factory reset and clear cache and davlik cache. Do it from CWM.

Then put Darky again to your intSD card and try again :)

I did clean up and install superuser. Now when I run the darky tool it does not come up with the error message again. however when it execute and take me to the CWM, it still can not run the darky.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knut150:
Given the data limits of the carriers here in the US, what is your opinion about 2 Gig of data per month? I have a tablet with Tmo with the 5 gig per month but I’ve discovered that the actual usage is less than 1 gig per month.

Cost wise it makes sense to pay less a month but I’m curious about the average usage of the members here and not I don’t stream music or videos just the regular stuff.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstone1991:
With regular surfing and app usage I doubt you would ever reach 2 gigs. It is probably possible if you are on the tablet all day every day but without streaming it would be difficult. You probably know this already but you can tether your tablet to make use of a bit more data use, not sure if that would be useful to you or not.

I would say lower your plan and save yourself $10 a month. If you do ever go over your speeds just slow down on T-Mobile and you can raise you plan back to 5 gigs if you need to then. Its a win win for you. I work for T-Mobile and have noticed the plans changing a lot lately so it might be a good idea to switch while the 2 gigs is still available and still no overage.

*Edit* I realized I forgot to answer your question. I don't have a tablet but use my phone like one and average about 2.5 gigs total a month. I have 3 email accounts and the android news and weather app all set to update every 30 minutes, with moderate surfing, moderate video streaming, about 45 minutes to an hour of slacker radio, and heavy app usage (Craigslist, xda, Facebook, and engadget are the main ones that use data.) If I take away my usage on wifi then it brings me down to about 1.5 gigs a month of actual usage.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knut150:
Actually you did, I forgot to mention that my plan is to use a Smartphone for the first time instead of the tablet, (maybe teether to the tablet :) ) thank you

Meanwhile I’ve been lurking here in order to learn as much as possible about this phone. And I’m completely undecided about which one the Galaxy S 4G (already several months old or the one discussed in this forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstone1991:
Well in my opinion if you aren't worried too much about the cost then I would wait for the Galaxy S II. If you want to save money on the phone then the Galaxy S 4g is a great phone. I expect the S II to be about $250 or $300 after a $50 mail in rebate when it is released with a new line on a classic plan or a full upgrade, $550 or $600 with no upgrade discount or a new line on a value plan.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kettlecorn:
What's the support and community size of the Galaxy tab 10.1 right now? I tried to do a search and I only found this forum to be the most active. Im curious because the tablet looks great but I also do like the idea of having development and a support community. The Xoom and Transformer seem to have a decent sized community. I'm just worried i'll have this badass tablet with no roms or any kind of help.

Also does the galaxy have usb host? If i buy that adaptor, can i start accessing external harddrives and usb flash drives in file explorers?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TML1504:
It will take some time till the Galaxy 10.1 community grows! Consider that the retail tab (not the IO or 10.1V) is in stores for about one week for now!

When I think back on the XDA forums for the other devices I had it was always the same: it took about one or two months from the public launch till some sort of "critical mass" was achieved...

Personally I think that the 10.1 3G will be a success, so the only thing we have to do is to wait a little :)

Concerning USB-host:

Yes, USB-host capabilities are there! You can use devices like your mouse, keyboards, hard-drives (some need external power though)...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kettlecorn:
Wait, when was the galaxy tab released? I thought it came out early June?? If it has been only a week or two that would definitely make sense haha

Is the harddrive issue needing external power something that could possibly be addressed in the future with custom roms and updates? Or is that some hardware restriction? I had the Toshiba thrive (sent it back) and it seemed to read and write anything like a monster.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TML1504:
All versions released before last week are/were preliminary ones! Samsung planned to release the tab ~3months ago (the 10.1V version), but then decided to redesign it a bit (thinner, lighter) so that it would compete well with the ipad2!

The "real" launch of the overhauled tab in Europe was last week (and in some countries it's still not available, also due to a lawsuit with apple). In my country (Austria) the launch took place last week, although available quantities are still very low, the price still relatively high (~EUR600)!

Regarding the USB-host:

The specification says any USB port should provide 500mA, I'm not sure if this value is reached by the tab-port. If yes then it should be no problem! If no it depends on the drive if it functions or not!

Custom roms can change power settings some times, this depends how the hardware is configured (if it is "stong" enough without taking damage)! For example the charging power could be adjusted at some phones by cookers!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
GT10.1 WIFI only was released in US at least a month ago. In Europe it has been released in some countires. In my country, the expected release date is end of September.

About development and ROM's. It seems that most active development is for Transformer and Iconia. It seems that GT10.1 is not far behind and it seems to have the most potential. Xoom was the first HC tablet, it was released about 6 months ago and it still has only two custom ROM's.

The biggest problem is that there is no HC source code. Maybe ICS will change that...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
Agreed - in the UK it was definitely more than a week ago.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tsongwh:
I'm from China.And GT-p7510 was released at 27th,Aug

And my P7510 is on the way,SF-express
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kettlecorn:
Dang okay I guess I was mistaken, it wasn't released as early as I thought which answers the question. Sweet, I'm sure the community will get larger soon especially with source code or ICS coming out. I guess all the tablets development are somewhat stagnant for that reason. Thanks for the responses.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] deeren:
in fact it was released in june!!! but officially it was not available in some countries. i say officially because it's just like saying the samsung galaxy s2 wasnt available in the us until yesterday.

http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19862&page=1&gltype=localnews

even some countries in europe started receiving it in june itself.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TML1504:
only the 10.1V and the 10.1 wifi versions were available that early, the 3G versions rolled out last week!! and as far as i can tell the 3G version will be the most popular one...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] appelflap:
Regarding the op question: I think the Tab is rather complete and doesn't need many customizations. Think that will explain the difference with the other device communities. More satisfaction means less active development.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
I've had my Tab since the end of June when it became available in the US (after the New York release in early June).

Since June, some weeks the community has a bunch of releases, then goes quiet with a few dev's releasing updates. Overall, after the last build release, the Tablet it great with TW (others will argue different) but its stable and fast. Only few mods need like the UA Agent fix.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Wubdidu:
Holy moly... I paid around 450€ for the 3G 16GB version here in Bangkok...

I just hope the customs office in Germany won't rip me off when I get back later this month ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] deeren:
just make sure you dont keep the tab in its box, remove all the plastic seals from the accesories. In short, make sure that the tab and its box looks like for personal use and old. they would not tak you for that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] matika:
I remember someone from this forum or elsewhere, told me that all I need is

a connector of USB3.0 female to female.

When I arrive Shanghai few days ago. I began to search for such connector.

There're only three seller on taobao. Only of them got stock. So I order the

connector and USB3.0 extension cable(Male to female)

Here's the result:

USB3.0 extension cable can use to connect between original adapter and

USB sync cable. Then you got 1.5m~1.8m longer of cable for charging or

connecting to PC.

The USB3.0 female to female connector didn't work in anyway. No matter

I try USB mouse or USB flash. It just won't work. Maybe Asus design

some tricky stuff about the OTG function.
