[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Thanks for the replies..

I would much prefer to use ODIN too, however I don't want to loose my installed apps and how I've got my home screens set up etc, so this is why I was trying to use Kies. I'm not familiar enough with ODIN to know if there is a way I can use it to upgrade without losing installed apps and home screen layouts etc??

Thanks

Denno
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali_khalid5518:
Well i think if u backup ur apps then u can save them otherwise i dnt think they remain on ur phone while using the odin is simple.

just go to www.samfirmware.com make an account and chk the firmware sec in toolbox and then select ur model and download the latest formware...JVR is the latest firmware on samfirmware download it and download odin extract that downloaded folder and u have 4 file 1 pit file 2 code 3 csc 4 modem.

Now open odin and put these file respectively ( dnt forget to close kies if u have even from running services on windows) now put ur phone in download mode and connect through odin and tick the repartition on leftside and then start odin...

Of all goes well u r on stock GB

wait phone to phone to boot

now choose any kernel to root ur phone and again turnoff ur phone and get in download mode and choose that kernel in pda option of odin and this time unchk the repartition and start odin

now ur rooted

thanks for the reply Ali Khalid... I'm looking on samfirmware, but I'm not able to find the Gingerbread firmware version for Australia? I downloaded I9000XWJVN ## under the 'America Australia Samsung I9000 Firmwares' heading, but that only had a tar file, with a heap of files I didn't recognize..

Any chance you could give me some more direct help? Like exactly which one I should download for Australia? Looking at the country letter code, which is DT for Aus, they only have firmwares for 2.1 and 2.2...

I'm really lost with this upgrading thing :/..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Can someone please help? I need to know which firmware I should download from samfirmware for an Australian I9000...

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrIwik:
Is there a specific reason you need Australian version? You can flash any firmware you wish.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
There isn't a specific reason... I thought I would have to go with the Australian one to be sure that calls and stuff can connect to my phone through the network correctly? I'm completely lost with all this stuff to be honest...

If I don't have to get a specific Aussie one, which one should I download? As I mentioned earlier, I downloaded one called I9000XWJVN ## but it didn't have the pda files and pit files as expected.. they were all different things :/..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrIwik:
Im running JVS 2.3.5 (with JVR modem) I haven't bothered to flash an Australian/Optus csc but i guess you can if you wish. I did have to add APNs but that is no big deal.

After that you might want to flash a non-stock kernel for root, lagfix etc. I am running semaphore 1.7 and stock+ theming for extended power menu, %battery crt off etc.

Keep in mind if you are going down this route you will be voiding any warranty you have but ask anyone here it is worth it to make the most of your phone.

Do some reading around the forum and ask any questions you need so you know what you are doing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Thankyou for your reply Mrlwik, but it's gone totally over my head. I really don't understand any of that.. I have flashed stuff to my phone before, but it was easy because I already had the 3 required files, and there was a step by step..

I guess I could just pop over to the custom roms sub-forum and download one from there and give it a go again..

Do I need to get a special modem or csc file or something to make sure it'll still work with Optus?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrIwik:
Sorry I was really confused once too, I will do my best to break it down a little.

You don't need a specific modem for Optus although different modems will give different results depending on your location regarding signal, 3g, gps and battery (due to signal strength) its quick and easy to change modem and this can be done anytime (through CWM recovery) without any data loss.

CSC is a bit different, although you can use a CSC that is different to your location/carrier it basically denotes any specific apps and APNs. CSC can be changed with odin but will factory reset you phone and you will lose data.

-APN details can be found with a quick Google search and can be added no problem through settings>wireless and network>mobile network>access point and as I don't care for carrier specific apps (apart from "my account" but the .apk for that easy to find) I haven't bothered to change it. Others do find it important.

I know the stock 2.3.5 JVS from samfirmware will contain the 3 files (code, modem, csc) and the .pit file for flashing because it is what i flashed.

Or alternitavely there are a few custom roms that can be flashed through odin regardless of what firmware and bootloaders you are currently running.

Some firmwares/ROM only have one file and it can be flashed under PDA. There are guides for flashing on samfirmware(for stock), here and video guides on YouTube. Always stick to the guide.

Decide what direction you want to take (stock with non-stock kernel or custom rom) and read up on some of the topics in the general section about flashing and/or any topics relating to any ROM you want to flash.

Once you know what you want to do with your phone it will mean much less reading for you and others will be able to help you more as you will know what questions to ask.

There is lots of info here, its just a matter of knowing what info you need and how to find it.

Hope that helped a little..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrIwik:
If you phone is rooted download titanium backup and backup all apps before flashing, then install it again after flashing and restore only apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Wow thankyou so much for that breakdown Mrlwik! That does actually help a little! I'm going to find a stock firmware from samfirmware instead of a custom rom.. But it's great to know that I can swap modems to try and find the one that best suits my needs, as I do have problems with reception in my house, so maybe a new modem could fix that?

Anyways, thankyou again, and great effort and writing all of that with your phone! It definitely helped :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Well I finally took the plunge and flashed my phone. I used the JVS firmware, which worked seamlessly. Then I wasn't sure if I were still rooted or not.. so I downloaded Dark Core (or something), and flashed that in PDA using ODIN. Then I was definitely sure I was rooted :). Now I've just got to figure out a 'lag fix', my quadrant score at the moment is ~1400, but I reckon I can get much better, so I'll try some overclocking apps from the market I think, see which works best for me.

The most painful thing is restoring all my apps using Titanium Backup.. I have to click install for everyone of them, it doesn't automate it, which is so very annoying, but I'll get there eventually :/... lol

Thanks for all your help Mrlwik, very greatly appreciated :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph03n!x_SA:
I had a similar problem with KIES in South Africa.

I don't use KIES any longer, it doesn't even have the "connect to internet" option.

Since you've rooted your device, I'm sure you have Clockworkmod flashed...if not, flash that using Odin. After that, you can flash any ROM, custom or stock, using clockworkmod recovery, then you don't require Odin again...just copy the ROM or apps you want to flash to your phone, boot into recovery, flash, and restart. Can't be easier than that.

It's been a long time since I've had to find the Wireless Tether app and I'm having issues trying to find the version that had WPA2 support. The current one that I constantly find floating around has the WPA supplicant but only allows wep-like passcodes. Anyone know where I can find the version that actually allows you to use WPA2 security?

edit: Oh yeah, jsut in case it has bearing, I'm using the Droid Bionic with GB rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] joejunior253:
You could always use the sprint hotspot. Just kidding. I use the wireless tether for roo users app on the market. It works great for me. Just type tether in the market (or black market depending on your rom) and it is usually the first app. Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] ninjagonepostal:
Yeah... It'll be nice if that ever works again... I just found out GingerBread locked down all of the wifi tether apps... :mad: Verizon really needs to stop hating on wireless tether and wanting to charge $30 a month on top of what they charge people for data.
[General Questions and Answers] joejunior253:
Man that seems a little excessive. I have heard about that on tv. Where at&t only gives you 2gb and then cuts you off, verizon and t-mobile give you as much as you want but the more you use the less bandwith they give you. I think sprint is the only truly unlimited data plan

Hey everyone,

Thought I would start a thread so dev's and themer's could post up their work for this ROM. I'm currently running the Revolution Theme by He_stheone which I love, and got off of Newt's Dev thread, but haven't found anything in this section for this ROM. Soooo, for all of you who do have some good themes, skins, or tweaks you'd like to share,let's get this one up and running!

Updates OP with links for the Rev Theme, sorry bout that, should done that originally, long day of installing, wiping, installing, wiping, different ROMS to see which one I liked best and this one really is the best for me, maybe not everyone, but I'm lovin' it! Especially now that it's almost 100% operational
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Marhey:
FYI, the original Rev link that was in Newt's Bliss thread doesn't work on the Bliss 1.0.0 rom he posted on his site, he changed the base so I think the framework changed... I kept getting launcher FCs, but if it works for someone else, then rock on.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mpoly112:
I'm rockin on cause it is working fine on my phone, I do a complete wipe on everything tho which I know most people don't, I format system/data, wipe cache partition, format system, wipe Dalvik cache 3x's, and format system/data again before installing any ROM, and installed the theme right after installing the new Blissss he posted on MikMik before I let it launch, maybe the force closes are coming from the ROM launching, loading all the system mounting, and Sense theme settling in. So I always install the theme in recovery before I reboot and let the ROM start.
[Focus General] momadine:
Dear All,

I don't know really what caused this big improvment but let me share it with you.

First of all I have a Samsung Focus with a standard battery bought it from the USA at 10-2010.

The phone before the NoDo update lasts for more than a day but less than 2 days with little use and with heavy use it lasts for less than a day , Let's say 18 hours or less.

Any way I got the Mango RTM installed without Chevron and at the first week the battery lasts for 1 Day and 18 hours as per the Battery saver indicator.

4 days ago I forgot the phone plugged in for 10 hours and when I removed it the battery said that it will last 3 day and 18 hours?????

I said what the hell?

I thought it was a bad indication and removed the battery and replugged it again and yet it said that it will last for 3 days and 18 hours.

Now I passed the 3 days and 18 hours of using the phone (very little usage just a couple of calls or so) and I still have 10 percent left?

Any explanations of this weird but good behavior :) ???
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I don't think you'll get any :)

But I'd say enjoy the ride and post back if it happens again. If that happens, please take snaps of your battery and charger and post here. :cool:

Also, you didn't mention if you were using GPRS/Wifi or any data connection in the 3+ day period. That affects the battery a lot. Per example, I am on Mango B1 (7661) and I'm getting 1 day and 12h with GPRS on and about 2 days+ with no data connections at all and litttle use (probably close to 3 days). Regardless of the battery projection.
[Focus General] momadine:
used wifi to sync e-mails for 10 minutes and a couple or more calls not more than 10 minutes also with no GPRS , 3g or so ever.

But that's really something I can't understand it was one day half the battery that I have now...

I will post screen shots after trying again (If I remember to :) ).

Thanks.
[Focus General] rbrsddn:
Where do I find something that actually tells me how many days or hrs. I have on a fully charged battery? I was wondering where that was...
[Focus General] momadine:
On Mango only not any previous OS versions:

Go to Setting then Battery Saver you will see how long is left till you need to recharge.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
On any Mango version, in settings you can check the battery status.

Pre Mango you can use a homebrew Battery Meter or read about it.
[Focus General] rbrsddn:
Thank you for that. Hopefully I'll have Mango in a couple of days...

Hey folks,

I recently installed dark_prince's Fresh Froyo (2.2.2) on the SD card using data.img and system.img (both 768 MB insize) (SanDisk 2 GB) and using HaReT to boot. I must say, I'm quite impressed. After having flashed a new radio (1.65...) things like WiFi and Audio work well.

Although I could imagine using Android permanently, there's some things that still bother me, like occasional slow response times and suboptimal recognition of keystrokes when writing a longer text. Oftn somecharactrs will be mssing, whn typingtoo fast, which is kinda annoying when writing E-Mails.

So I wonder, whether I could benefit from a NAND-install. I read in some other thread (for the HD2) that battery life often is improved, but overall performance doesn't change that much. So would you change to NAND? Or should I rather try a completely different Android build?

I'm not exactly scared of flashing, but I certainly won't do it, unless it makes sense.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Jens
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] daedric:
NAND will always be faster than the fastest SD card you can get (on the kaiser). Lag and missed keystrokes will improve by having data on NAND.

Battery life will also improve a little.

You should always try other android builds, thoughtlesskyle makes some pretty good ones. scooter1556 also does some awesome ones, and has been bringing cyanogenmod to us (since 5, eclair).

Try around, remember, if you don't like it, you can always flash a windows mobile again :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] laserdrome:
I now tried it - best thing I've done in days. There's really some significant improvement on these issues. Thanks for encouraging me to try :)

So anyone know if the clamcase for the iPad 1 will fit the HP Touchpad?

http://clamcase.com/clamcase-ipad-keyboard-case-trooper.html

I've included a link to how it looks like.
[TouchPad Accessories] redbullcat:
In theory yes. But I don't know.
[TouchPad Accessories] Troute:
I think the TP has a more pronounced curve to the back and with it's bevelled sides (as opposed to the iPads straight ones) I'm not sure any hard case will hold it, but the only way to find out is try it and see.
[TouchPad Accessories] Colchiro:
Isn't the TP thicker?
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
Most definitely. Not much, but probably enough to matter in something like that.
[TouchPad Accessories] Troute:
I bought a griffin standle (iPad1) to see if it would fit or could be made to fit. The top and bottom halves were a good millimeter apart when the TP was inside and could not be made to meet. The TP is shorter/thinner in height/width as well as deeper so no form fitting hard iPad1 case is going to work.
[TouchPad Accessories] A. Nonymous:
I think iPad 2 cases will fit it, but not iPad 1? I can't remember. They're very similar in form factor.
[TouchPad Accessories] Troute:
No m8, the iPad2 is much thinner.
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
The TouchPad dimensions are 9.45 x 7.45 x 0.54 in. (240 x 189 x 14 mm) and it weighs 26.10 oz (740 g)

If you get the inside dimensions of the case in question you can tell easily.

Remember, size DOES matter - bigger is ok, smaller is not. ;)
