I'm glad I could help, man :)

Now, install S.A.Sv7 (via CWM) and be prepared to be blown away by the buttery smoothness!

Help!

This is a n00b question. I just got my Galaxy S 4G with Froyo, rooted, flashed CWM and then flashed "Deodexed KI1_signed.zip" following by "stock+Voodoo-T959VKI1-unsigned-update" kernel.

Rebooted and it did it's thing and booted up 2.3.5 KI1. Problem is each time a boot up, it has that rainbow looking screen and when I go to CWM, I cannot see the CWM menu clearly at all (triple image). I have searched around and thought it probably is a Gingerbread bootloader issue. I am wondering what should I do now?

Use ODIN and flash something else first? I see from Valhalla v1.1 thread, Whitehawkx recommended to ODIN KG4 first to get correct bootloader. Where can I find this KG4 mentioned to flash first? Please advice.

Thank you.

Guess it might work out. Trying now....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jay Aristide:
Flash KG4, that's the release with the good gb boot.bin. After that, you're good to flash KI1 or any other GB release. I haven't seen one since that contains boot.bin
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
+1 you need bootloaders
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
phoneman22, follow my gb starter pack guide. The link is in my signature. I'll probably wind up updating it this weekend so that you wind up with a KI1 build instead of the KH2 build, but this WILL get you the proper bootloaders.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rayvil30:
Can I install this coming straight off Froyo? Or should I install KG4 first cause of rainbow issue? Was also debating on just installing Whitehawkx deodexed version. Thanks guys. Have been reluctant on Gingerbread and have decided to jump in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phoneman22:
Learnt my lesson. So flash KG4 first via ODIN and then flash KG4 modded kernel w/CWM & then flash KI1 "Deodexed KI1_signed.zip" following by "stock+Voodoo-T959VKI1-unsigned-update" kernel. (BTW, thats my preference). However, the low WIFI signal issue steered me to use Valhalla 1.1 instead & I am liking it. Waiting for Valhalla to be updated with KI1 meanwhile.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rayvil30:
Thanks for quick reply. Will wait on his update too then. Read good reviews on it. Will flash kg4 first. Problem with kg4 p-word though. Samfirmware.com not working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jay Aristide:
There's no difference in wifi signal between gb versions, so far...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Keda_P:
If i flash rooted will i have root?

Because i tried to root for a while and no success.

If yes, is this one good for odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
If it says it has root then you will have root. What sort of issue are you having rooting your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phoneman22:
Is that right? I just starting using the SGS 4G so not very sure. I first used the KI1 rooted ROM and I saw the WIFI signal very weak. Tried to connect WIFI calling and it would complain signal too low. I am using Valhalla and at least the WIFI calling is connecting fine. Will test more to see if so.

DON'T try to install old themes that use framework

For some reason, this has been a real bear to install. This is the third time through. I had it working just right and did one thing too many, tried to install an old UOT Kitchen theme. DON'T do that. It will put gingerbread 2.3.4 framework files on the phone and I got into a multiple boot routine. It's not impossible to install and I should get it done in another half hour. Of course I NEVER wait the 15 minutes for things to settle down, not me. I'm too impatient.

It's amazing, though, this is only a couple of weeks after Samsung issued official 2.3.5 for I9000. I notice they've still got the gallery 3d app there, the one that's supposed to stomp on Apple's patents. They've got until mid-October to fix that for I9000 so this is probably not the final final.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VICosPhi:
Gingerbread builds definitely have low wifi signal and hence wifi calling not working issue. This maybe a reason we don't have a final GB build yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
Does anyone notice that gingerbread 2.3.5 is a little bit more unstable than 2.3.4 (KH2)? It's a first edition, so I expect we'll be seeing revisions from Samsung. I don't notice that it is any faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jay Aristide:
To be honest, the only differences I've noticed are subtle improvements on the bluetooth system and we now have overscroll glow OOB... Honestly can't figure out what changes warranted the move from .3.4 to .3.5 ...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I am using KI1, but the battery life sucks, it is kind of very unstable and overheats quickly, and there are issues with the theming of systemui.apk. The 4g icon is the AOSP one, but the rest are gbtouchwiz themed. I barely make my phone through the day, and I am using a new battery. KI2 must be out there, no one bothers to look for leaks these days. It also isn't on Sampro.pl
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Keda_P:
When i say it stuck on step #6 I mean that i doesnt go past step #6.

I thought that what i said was clear...

Is your wifi really that bad? 10 mb downloads and 1.4 mb uploads at home.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
The download speeds aren't bad right next to the router but from my room or anywhere else, the signal is terrible and very unstable so I just quit using it all together.

Good battery life here.

I have had a great improvement in battery life. On KB5 through KH4 it was the same but after moving to KI1 I get home after work at 55% to 60% with the same usage. Before KI1 I would get home with about 30% to 40%. I am happy with it. Not realy having Wi-Fi issues either.

[Android Apps and Games] Spz0:
Hey. :)

I've been doing some odd work for a lower memory 7" tablet (256MB).

All it has so far is a stock android kbd, but Im wanting more (mainly because the port was horrible -- word predictions do not work, and its buggy at best).

I've tried quite a few different free kbds, but most sit over 20Mb -- 20Mb which I cant spare (since this device has about 60Mb of RAM available on a fresh install of my ROM).

So far the best kbd I've found is tap n tap, but thats still a little hefty in the RAM dept.

I don't need glam or shiny, just a regular kbd that is functional, working, low on memory/resources, and possibly designed for a tablet (although not necessary.).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!! :)

What about Multiling Keyboard by Honso, it even has small apk file size.
[Android Apps and Games] Gizmo0001:
i had a similiar issue and found those two

Simple Large Button Keyboard

- no permissions required*

- only 45kb size !!

- only 6,2 mb ram consumption on Android 4.0

Big Buttons Standard Keyboard

- no permissions required*

- only 135kb size

Other apps require more RAM, multicore, permissions and space (plus they come with ads and want your money). Some of them even rely on the integrated AOSP keyboard so you wont be able to disable this system app.

Mind: The integrated Android AOSP Keyboard (not Google Keyboard!) also has very low memory footprint (4,2 mb ram on Android 4.2 with all input "features" [like spelling corrections, etc. ] deactivated in settings) *BUT* is a pretty low performer with single cores and <= 1GHz. Therefore i prefer "Simple Large Button Keyboard" over the competitors for a low ressource/max effeciency scenario.

(*the privacy risk of keyboard sniffing is much lower without granted internet permissions)

The specifications for the SGSIII are of course subject to change, but are Samsung-developed 2.0GHz quad-core CPU (no codename given), 1.5gb RAM, 32gb internal memory (with sd card slot), and a 4.65 inch screen. A new display called Super AMOLED III is being developed specifically for the phone (SGS had Super AMOLED, SGS II had Super AMOLED Plus, SGS III has Super AMOLED III) with 1280x1024 resolution, giving the phone a ppi of 352, which they emphasized that a 352ppi will make it the highest ppi mobile phone

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HotInEER:
I agree. I think they ned to just work on perfecting their current screens and density, and making the software and hardware work better together making battery life even better. Maybe release the phone already rooted. Lol Maybe have separate roms made they could even sell them.

i'm having buyers remorse with word about the Nexus Prime supposedly to hit next month.

i guess i should be saying i **HAD** since it'll probably launch on Verizon and take 1/2 year to a year to make it to sprint like it did for the nexus s, but i'm in love with ET4G. striving for the best phone out there is moronic unless you have nothing better to do in your life

dont mean to threadjack. just sharing.

btw. Super Amoled III = HD super Amoled?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Torethyr:
There will always be buyers remorse in the smart phone market given that there are new releases every couple of months. Only way to avoid it is to get a phone that does everything you need it to do and will continue to do so until your next upgrade and realize that you don't need a phone with quadcore SOC. Not yet, anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:
a year away...

getting ready to bug them for upgrade then too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comeatmebro:
This.

Until phones reach the same levels computers are today the development of phones will increase by a lot. It's kind of good and bad at the same time. The good part is that it pushes development to turning phones into portable computers and adds that competition between producers, making phones stronger and cheaper, but the bad part is that it causes phones to come out every few months.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tinybfk:
No buyers remorse here this things like a sexy hamburger. Now when it come out my mind may change.

Hello,

I have a DHD and i am happy but after some use I notice that a "dot" appears on my photos. :mad: I checked the external lens, everything is clean and i dont have scratches. My DHD only have 6 months of use. What is the best solution, open it or contact the warranty?

The photo 4 have a yellow shadow, can anyone explain this?

The photos are here.

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] affinity121:
I really wouldn't open it m8. One you probably won't get everything back together and I'm pretty sure this would void your warranty
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
I don't know about the dot, but I have the same issue with the yellow hue in the middle of my pics. It seems to happen more indoors than out, but it's there.
[Desire HD General] 314:
i get a pink spot in low light conditions...
[Desire HD General] onlytests:
I contacted the support. The solution proposed by support is send the mobile phone for check the problem.
[Desire HD General] lukesan:
Same issue, and once you have seen it you will see it on pictures and videos from other people too.

You can see the spot on a gray background. So if you have like gray tiles or piece of paper it is your best bet to see it.

Now I noticed that you can bring down the spot to almost zero by reducing the contrast setting. Mine is always 1 notch down from standard which I already found having to much contrast to be natural.
[Desire HD General] thermskin:
Maybe you have dead pixels?
[Desire HD General] onlytests:
For dead pixel it's very strange, because the pixels are perfect dots.
[Desire HD General] 314:
I think it may actually be some sort of software issue...

I flashed a CM7 based rom a while ago and i don't seem to be able to get the pink spot to appear anymore (With LGcamera)... (There used to be a pink spot for me while using the sense camera)
[Desire Themes and Apps] atlantisu21:
On default camera application, i seted best qualitu, but images little smooth because jpg commpresion is on high level.

Is there any chance to set commpresion manualy or turn off compression?

Or maybe anybody know another good camera app?
[Desire Themes and Apps] davebugyi:
Manually set compression? Not aware of... Probably if you modify the camera.apk.

Did you tried to remove the back and take pictures without the cover? If there is a huge difference, then remove the plastic covering the lens - I have it like for 6 months now.

Good camera app? Zoom FX, Camera 360 ultimate ect...
[Desire Themes and Apps] atlantisu21:
Ok, i will try this app. Maybe photos cant be better, because phone is not camera :-/
[Desire Themes and Apps] radu_dumitrescu@ymail.com:

[Desire Themes and Apps] scandinaviansystem:
about the cam app...

you can try "HDR camera" from the markett

there´s a free version with a banner here and there, personally i live with it

it takes 3 pictures and computing the best resolution or something like that..

just remember its a suckysucky cam app for taking pictures of moving objects because of the "3 picture thing" it has.. ;)

im just a noob here so i cant upload a picture taken with HDR so you gotta test it out yourself, have a good one! :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Alex-V:
search a bit around...you have to edit the build prob and set up this..

[HD2 General] sytze:
A friend had Android running on his HD2 but it kept freezing at random moments. It looked like bad memory or incorrect partitions on the SD. Either way, I offered to install his, since it works fine on mine.

So I put on the right radio, did Task29 (twice), installed MagDlr and on to CWM. First time it failed. Second time it worked, but didn't restart automatically. After a restart AD Recovery didn't load up CWM. So I figured I'd better redo the MagDlr install. Again the same.

Another step back I tried to reinstall a WM6.5 rom, just to check if that worked. First time it froze up at 31%, second time at 59% and the third time at 12%. No success.

Last step back: try to install HSPL 2.08 again. Again it froze up during installation. Now if I reboot into HSPL it displays 'Software update failure, please try again!' before it goes into the HSPL bootscreen (tricolour).

And finally, after that long story, here's the problem: in the white bar there is no word at all! No 'serial' and definitely no 'usb' when I plug it in.

Is it hard bricked? Do I need JTAG? If so, anyone in or near the Netherlands able to do this? :)

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Ok, I just kept trying and despite the missing words, it still was able to connect appearently. So I did another install of HSPL 2.08 and this time it worked!

However, this success didn't last long. I tried to install from the start again for Android, so the next step was the correct radio rom.

The radio rom (2.15.50.14) installed fine till 96%. It hangs for a few seconds, which seems normal as it happened to my own phone as well, and jumps to 100%. But on the phone there's a triangle with exlamation mark and on the PC I get the message 'ERROR [290]: INVALID COMMAND.

After a restart, the same as before: warning about failure to update and HSPL with no words in the white area. Repeated 3 times, same every time.

Anyone any idea?
[HD2 General] rudeblunt:
Hardware problem?

Well, that really sounds like some hardware issue in the flash memory chip.

If your friend is still in warranty I would suggest sending the phone in for repair (After flashing (or attempting to flash) a stock ROM of course :) )
[HD2 General] sytze:
Thanks for the reply, I was afraid of this. The warranty is long gone I think.
[HD2 General] maysamabbasi:
but in my case i'm sure because i can connect on my laptop in my home. but in my office i can not connect hspl to my pc (hspl 2.08, ir remains on serial)

does anyone know why?!!!
