I fixed it by nuking the com.android.providers.contacts folder and rebooting. After re-linking all my contacts, the pictures came back.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Where is that folder?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Nevermind I made a script and it works fine now. :P

I realize this thread is old as dirt but I recently did a clean install of the Bulletproof 1.0 ROM to play with again and after I ran fix permissions in ROM Manager my contact pictures weren't showing up in the messaging app. I remembered seeing a fix for this back in the day so I thought I'd post it here since it worked for me once again.

In Terminal Emulator type the following:

su

chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

It worked for me and if I remember correctly, it fixes the permissions on the contact folder.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkerdjohnson:
I have finally found a great rom (pinnacle 1.2) after a string of good looking and poorly functioning roms [early apex releases(no offense, new apex is incredible)] or extremely ugly with fantastic functionality roms (fasty, again no offense, really.)

It seems I am closer and closer to my only fantasy with my Samsung SGH-I897 Captivate. I DESPERATELY WANT CONSISTENT AND HIGH FRAME RATE

Watsa's Pinnacle is sooooo close, but every now and then it slips up and gets real laggy. I flashed the tw 4.5 mod, and that made a big difference, but it seems the frame rate is low and speed is high (which is great) but it still doesn't cater to my true love and desire :p.

I have watched multiple reviews of other stock smart phones (ie Xperia Arc, Nexus S, etc...) and it seems that they don't have a problem OUT OF THE BOX :confused: with performance and frame rate. For us Captivate owners, however, we have to go on this big hunt for better performance because the stock rom runs like S--T (again, maybe it's me or just my phone.)

Maybe it's only me :eek:. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. So that's why I'm extending my hand to anyone who can help. I am looking for a consistently high frame rate for my phone with some solid performance. If anyone can show me the tricks of the trade, or the secrets of fashion, I will forever be in debt to you (and possibly write you your own personal jingle [Im a professional musician] and send it to you in your honor)

For the record, I'm still really excited that XDA and it's community has made my phone the way it is today. I love that everyone on here isn't an 1/8 as bad as any youtube dbags. The support is incredible (shoutout to watsa) and everyone is more than willing to help. THANKS XDA!

EDIT: Hell, Ill write you a song. Just PM me three things about you and It'll be in your inbox in a matter of days.

You could try Fasty II or Victory Rom both look Good and have slick performance.

If there is evil in this world it lurks in the hearts of man.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
lol I feel sorry for OP. Ok I will start with it. I get ~ 45 FPS on KH3 Its controlled by kernel and if you want a higher FPS I am sure you would need a custom kernel which obviosly isnt available for KH3 yet.

If this is your priority no 1 then you need to jump off ship to an I9000 ROM with a highly customizable kernel like Talon.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkerdjohnson:
Alright, all Im asking is iphone-like smoothness. Ive never seen that on the captivate, and Im hoping people can prove me wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuloplori:
Oh nooo u didn't ?! There is no "i.." (the one we shall not speak of) in this comunity ,only we or us :P:)

As watsa mentioned earlier I'd too recommend you to switch to i9k based roms and then go for talon (oc/uv will set you straight).

Also how are you measuring framerate? Is there a widget for that or something?

Just my eyes. I can see that its a little slow and not nearly as smooth as other phones.
[HTC Sensation] jcarrz1:
So here's the deal. I just bought one, and I'm looking forward to developing for it.

A few questions first:

1. What kinds of roms do you like? and Why. I want to please my user base, as well as pick it.

2. What features are you missing from Sense, MIUI, AOSP, or whatever else the kids are using these days? (this includes things you see on other devices and wish you had on sensation, or things you think of yourselves)

3. What kinds of roms do you think have ABSOLUTELY no point; For example, I think a re-post of CM with a new kernel and a theme built-in is ridiculous... What do you think?

4. What do you prefer about a rom you flash on sensation? if you had to choose between battery and performance, which? if you had to choose between pretty theme/heavy apps or bare-bones cleanliness, which? This kind of relates to q1...

Before I start repeating myself, I'd just like to say that sensation has a bunch of amazing devs going for it, and has a unique look and a terrific user base, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

Please leave intelligent responses, to help make your device better!

Jcarrz1
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Ok I will be the first hear. I have only had my Sensation since September 1st so I have not yet flashed a custom ROM to it. I am kind of giving the stock ROM a good trial run first.

I think since so many people, including me, are reporting touch screen issues, especially with pulling the ring up to unlock the device. You should really consider implumenting something that gives you a choice if you want to use the lock screen or not. Maybe a widget or a added choice in the settings to disable the lock screen. Or maybe even a G-Sensor operated lock screen, you know shake the device to unlock it.

I personally like the dialer UI of HTC Sense 3.0 and the text messaging in sense. I do not like the fact that you can not do what I call free scroll through your apps in the app tray. You have to scroll inn predefined blocks of 20 apps at a time. I personally like a bear bones ROM with a lot of downloadable add ons that you can install if you want. That way you can truly customize your device to suit you and you needs and likes.

I also think you should add a percentage meter that can be put in the status bar at the top cause the stock ROM does not have that option. I really like being able to see my battery percentage not just a battery with a green bar.

Also I miss the CyanogenMod settings in settings that I used in the Hyperdroid-CM7-v2.1.0 -HeadyHoneybadger ROM on my HD2.

I really am not to fond of the bottom launcher bar in the stock ROM either. I like the small launcher like the one in the above mentioned ROM so anything like that would be great.

A better music player than the default Android music player would be a plus also.

Last thing I can think of is something that will turn your WiFi off when you leave the WiFi area, say your home WiFi. And maybe even turns it on when you get back in range of your home WiFi network.

If I think of anything else I will post it here in this thread. Hope you get some more responses.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I prefer performance over battery. But not to the point that the battery will not last at least 8 hours
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
I'd choose a ROM that keeps Sense 3.0, intelligently overclocks the CPU to maximise performance when the phone is awake and being used, and underclocks it when the phone is asleep to maximise battery life. Another biggie for me would be a camera apk that reduces the compression and noise reduction that the stock Sense camera apk uses which cause Sensation photos and videos to lose sharpness. And I'd like Beats from the Sensation SE included too.

Over to you...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
All of the above is already available.

To OP. Welcome to Pyramid forums.

It's very tough competition here mate, so good luck to you (no sarcasm).

To make ROM successful you'd have to make it unique or a lot better than others ( very, very hard to achieve) or both together.
[HTC Sensation] itsomaryo:
Coming from the Mytouch 4g my favorite Roms were the Aosp Roms they are so light and quick with amazing battery. I would love one similar to fuax's aosp rom from the mytouch 4g. Also I'm a fan of better battery since I use my phone for music and internet all day!
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:

[HTC Sensation] rickyjune:
ive had my phone for 3wks and just flashed HD Revolution but stripped it with a viperMod [hated the TMobile and HTC widgets] and loving it so far

the only problem for me is the yukky battery life but its far superior to my HD2, can do so much more with it

my advice is to flash Recovery and jump right in
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:

[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
Really? Awesome news! Which ROM has them all?
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Any ROM really, with add ons available. I.personally recommend InsertCoin 2.2.5 SSE
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
I would like to see a Sense 3.0 ROM, but super fast (if that's possible) by removing useless junk and optimizations and **** (I'm currently using InsertCoin and it is fast, but it would be awesome to see iOS or WP7 responsiveness)

1) Boot into your bootloader. [volume down + power button, with phone off]

2) look on the first line it will say "Supersonic EVT..." then s-on or s-off

If s-on, quickly correct the problem. :p

By good, I mean, free of faults ?

I bought a SGS2 online and waiting for receiving it. But considering the large amount of users having a yellow tinted screen on the left, I'll probably get one of those faulty devices too.

In that case, I'll get it replaced and go for the SGS1, but, as a SGS1, can you tell me if the S1 has the same issue ? :confused:

Thanks. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali_khalid5518:
No nothing like that on SGS1 or even i am using SGS2 its also quite fine and no screen tinted issuse.

My 1.5 yo sgs1 has had no screen protector ever and is still scratch free and all pixels working like new.

My experience anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thompson2009:
sgs1 screen is brilliant i think.

scratch free and you can see it outside when sun is shinning really well.

I had two different HTC phones. And they where both useless outside. could not see a thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanedreamz:
SGS1 display is nothing less than a benchmark for all the mobile displays out there in the market. First device ever to have such an awesome, vibrant and Gorilla resistant screen. I'm in love with SGS just for its display.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
Other not being really sharp up close due to pentile the display is perfect. Bright, great colours and takes a beating.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al3cks:
There are kernels with integrated functionality to correct for any colour tint. To be honest, AMOLED ages really ugly. Contrast is great, colors too, but after a few months of moderate usage, when the screen displays a grey image, the color is not uniform. It has signs of burn-in from place to place. This is the biggest disadvantage of this tipe of screen. I have it since March and sometimes I wish it had SLCD instead. I always have to be carefull not to keep the display on for too long or with the same image and icon layout on the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
Not on my phone. Nearly 1.5 yo and no such problems. Greys look fine. I'm always on it too.

Like stated before. Its the benchmark. Slcd sux in daylight.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Not my experience at all. Well over a year old, no screen tint, burn in, loss of colour or missing pixels. Best screen I have seen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
I'm 1 year in and can barely see the 'M' from AM/PM before I started using 24-hour clock along with a bit of 'smudges' around the time, and only on a bright solid blue screen.

I could see issues if you set the screen to stay on while plugged in all day and put 10+ hours a day on it (I did that a few times and I think that's where my bit of burnout came from) but for the typical few hours of use a day there doesn't seem to be much of a problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
Hands down the SGS is the best display I have ever used on a phone!

I also have an Atrix with double the power (including ram) and I still keep uning my SGS. The screen is just way to good...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al3cks:
I agree, on higher brightness and a more vivid color you can't tell if the screen is burned-in. But try this. Get these 2 apps from the market OI Flashlight and OI Color Chooser, open OI Flashlight, press left softkey, Colour and select a very close to dark color and tell me if it's uniform. Maybe there is something wrong only with my screen.

I'm not saying it's the worst screen ever, I'm just suggesting someone should take this minor downside into account when choosing this type of screen, because once you go AMOLED you never go back ;-). You may have second thoughts when some wear will start to appear on the pixels.

Hi all hope you can all help i have debranded from orange to the xwkdd kernal but when i have tried to root it is telling me that it was not insecure which is prob correct but i can t upload now an in secure one now. what do i do please help......
[General Questions and Answers] Serk102:
For example, I've got system rom, internal storage, sd card storage, and ext sd card storage. Why don't I just have internal storage and external storage? Can someone explain what each one is "for", and where I should store what (like apps, music, videos, etc.). Thanks ahead of time for any answers that you give, this has been bothering me for a while.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
You should store your files on the internal /sdcard or your external /ext_sd micro sd card.

I'm saving music,videos and pictures on my external sd card.

This way i can take the card out of my phone plug it into a new one and have everything there.

I leave the build in card for the apps, kernels, roms, downloads and random other things.

Its mainly just preference.

Because of multiple partitions on the internal sdcard android can use different filesystems and option on each one.

Each filesystem can have advantages in security,scalablity, performance or reliance.

Partitions can be flagged read-only to secure them from involuntary changes.
[General Questions and Answers] Serk102:
Thanks for the help, but that leads to another question. I can't move some apps to the other part of my internal storage, or the media area, as the phone calls it, why not? It's just internal storage like the other partition, but the media area has around 12gb of data while the internal storage only has about 2. I just don't want to fill the first partition up because im not able to move apps out of it.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
I'm not really sure about that one, but something along the lines off: on the internal 2gb partition android can restrict and controll access for stablity and safety reasons, while if the apps were saved on the 12gb media partition any rouge app could run wild and screw things up for other apps.

Physicly they are probably the same, so with some technical knowledge you could reflash your device and change the partition sizes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZioGTS:
Woooow! I'm looking forward to test it! I just hoped it would be odexed and with touchwiz. I hate that dull gb launcher...

About kernel:

Yes, I'll, but not today.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZioGTS:
Odex is smoother and more stable in my experience. And yes, I can uninstall your launcher and put tw3, but I will lose bulletproof launcher if you fully implemented supercharger script...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lukiqq:
I really recommend you to stay with EE version included in this ROM, not GT. In my opinion GalaxianEE is way better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chainer1:
hey cool finally your rom is out :)

May I ask if libdvm.so is the file for the Nexus S Dalvik Library ?

What are the benefits of the changed file, what are the performance gains, or where do I notice it especially?

bcm4329 module from Nexus S (so I guess it has something to do with wifi and bluetooth) what are the benefits of this...lower battery consumption for wifi, better reception?

And where are the files for it located?

(Or is the module in the kernel itself?)

I know, I'm kinda curious but I hope that you will answer my questions.

I'm working on my own everyday rom. So every piece of knowledge to make it a little bit better helps.

Thank You :D

Was waiting so much too. Was very impatient...

So impatient that I couldn't resist flashing jvs with semaphore 1.7 :-(

I don't know now if the better for me is to flash back supersonic or wait for supersonic to have jvs version...

Depends on the type of future version. Will there be some non wipe version? I wiped, waiting impatiently for supersonic. Then flashed jvs and semaphore, but didn't installed back all my applications / parameters. I have to be sure that if I go back to supersonic and reinstall everything, I will be able to update easily to jvs supersonic when it will be available... Don't know if you care but... Lol.

Nonetheless, thanks very much lukiqq, your rom seems so good... As your kernel. Keep up the good work :p

For non wipe:

Use it at your own risks:

Replace or comment all the lines of the file ext4_formatter_all.sh in scripts folder.

I advice you to wipe your cache/dalvik and system with cwm before flashing the rom.

:eek:

So, I love it :D. Smooth, installed tw4.5 without any problems. Modem rocks. Nice icons and updates.

A few issues that I have found.

1) Can't mount /data in CWM, efter convert to ext4, data stays in rfs. this I presume is because of the new method, latest Galaxian does not have this problem

2) Wi-Fi switching off option when screen is off does not work, issue is present with latest Galaxian kernel

3) Is there init.d folder support? Where can I see minfree settings used by supercharger?

Hmm, I finally flashed wipe version for now (and will flash non wipe when supersonic jvs will be available), but I am stuck on galaxy s logo since 20 minutes...

I was on JVS, fs RFS + semaphore 1.7, nothing important installed, all was ok during flashing in CWM, ext4 formatting and all, and now, stucked...

Do you think I forgot something ?

EDIT: grrr, couldn't get recovery mode... must go to download mode and flash with odin... I'll flash jvr and then try again supersonic and will report after... Pffff
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] playerzking:
just my hypothesis:

semaphore 1.7 is compiled for JVS, but supersonic rom is JVR based
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darckengel:
No, "Compiled for" doesn't break JVR compatibility, it just change the versionning.

Maybe a problem while partitionning. Galaxian is a pain to access recovery mode via the 3 button way ...

You can just flash semaphore modem, you will be able to acces cwm recovery more easily.
