[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
sadly all the stock firmwares have some small but irritating issues associated with them: as the firmwares develop iteratively, Samsung appears to keep experimenting with options and fixes, so most stock firmwares remain two steps forward and one step back from the last version -- some have more problems that others.

JVR has been the most successful (stable and official release), but in stock form it still had (has) some issues, which are usually effectively addressed by a custom rom or kernel or a different modem (depending on what issue vexes your phone).

JVT has now got a stable custom rom and kernel option also.

Hey everyone, I closed the Gmail account that my phone was using for the Android Market and now every time I start up my phone I get invalid email messages and can't use the Android Market.

I have looked and looked but cannot figure out how to remove the email adress and add the new one. When I try to remove it it says I cannot because some apps are using it.

I'm on the OpenOptimus Rom at the moment.

Any help is appreciated, I really want to download text to speech by Sonalight!

You could try wiping "Accounts and Sync Settings" and uninstalling all google apps (If you are rooted). Then simply downloads GAPPS and flash. Otherwise => install Titanium Backup, backup all your apps, wipe data and restore everything (Except google apps and "Accounts and Sync Settings") using Titanium Backup.

Is there a way to do this? I had a Nook Color and it there was an app to change the gamma. Anyone know of an app that can do this for our TouchPads?
[TouchPad General] LexusBrian400:
You can change the LCD density in the build.prop. Adjust it in increments of 10 until you find what you like.

[TouchPad General] Colchiro:
Stock dpi is 160.

I'm running 140 (slightly smaller). Valid is 0 to 255, but numbers over 240 caused issues with other devices so not a bad idea to have a current recovery backup.

How to edit your dpi manually:

Get Root Explorer from Market and scroll down to system, and tap it to open it. Then at the top, tap the [ Mount R/W ] button. It'll change to [ Mount R/O ] so you have read/write privilege. (If you're using a different editor, you'll have to figure out how to get read/write privilege.) Then long-press on your build.prop file, choose "edit".

Scroll down until you find this line (bottom section in ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES):

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

Tap to position your cursor at the end of the line and carefully change 160 to 140:

ro.sf.lcd_density=140

When done, tap the menu button, choose "save and exit" and tap the top button in Root Explorer to change back to [ Mount R/W ] and reboot.

There are other programs that let you edit system files, but you need one that uses root since this is a system file that can't be edited with some file managers.
[TouchPad General] dustinb17:
Does 140 give you any market app compatibility issues with some apps (Maps) for example. I know on my Thunderbolt there are only a few DPI's to chose from or I have app compatibility errors and can't update apps.
[TouchPad General] Dattack:
I use Nitrality from the market to change the DPI. It's under the UI section of the application I believe. I set my DPI at 200 and now I can actually see my icons.
[TouchPad General] HorsexD:
180 Seems good. 160 a little too smal and 200 a bit too big for my taste.
[TouchPad General] Colchiro:
I'm on 150 right now and think I'll keep it there until something goofy, like missing market apps happens.

Had that problem on the Nook and didn't even know it until I flashed a version with 160 dpi and instantly had about 6 updates in Market. :D
[TouchPad General] Jocelyn:
How does one get back to 160 dpi? The bar in nitrality wont go below 182 in portrait or landscape :(
[TouchPad General] Trev420:
For reason I'm getting launcher force close with anything under 160. Any idea why?
[TouchPad General] Colchiro:
Mine's set to 150 and I just opened LPP, backed it up and uninstalled it. (I use it on my phone, but not optimal for tables, IMO. No FC's here.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mredmond2012:
I am having a problem where all vibration/haptic feedback will just randomly stop working completely. Then a few hours (and sometimes days) later it will randomly start working again. It will keep working again for a few hours or maybe days, and then randomly stop again. There seems to be no pattern to it.

I have no idea what is causing this. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

This is extremely frustrating as I am someone who never uses the ringer; I just always have my phone on vibrate.

I'm running the latest stable release of CM 7.1 for the Evo 4G, but I had this happen before on stock Sense as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4nth0ny:
I am having this same issue as well. It must be software related because the vibrate function works just fine when the phone rings. I am running CM 7.1 stable on an Evo 4G. I noticed the issue as well on CM 7.0.3.1 or whatever the latest stable build was on CM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
Does the phone ever always (or never) vibrate under a certain circumstance? i.e. incoming text, email, incoming/outgoing call, typing, etc.? Also, do you have any toggle widgets that could affect vibrate/ringer status?

I ask this because, and this may sound silly, it may be that you are modifying settings unknowingly. I've had that happen where I have my hands in my pockets and next thing I know I've accidentally got my Facebook up and running and typed half a book in the status field.

Again, I know that sounds silly but I ask because it's happened to me before.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mredmond2012:
That's fine, its an important clarification to make. But no, I am absolutely sure I have not changed any of the options unknowingly. As I said in the OP, ALL vibration/haptic feedback will cease to function entirely. I've often had it happen that in the middle of typing something, the haptic feedback for the keyboard will just go away. Immediately after this if I check the soft key buttons or test the vibration for notifications, none of these will produce any sort of vibration response either. Then randomly a few minutes, hours, or days later, all haptic feedback will just return. Its been an extremely strange and frustrating issue.

For me, when the vibration stops working, it stops working for everything, even when the phone rings. But that's what I can't figure out: if it is a software or hardware related issue. I was having this problem on stock Sense, and I figured if it was software related, perhaps flashing a new ROM (in my case, CM7), would fix it. However it hasn't, so I'm beginning to think if it is indeed a software issue, it must be a bug somewhere very deep within the code, otherwise it has to be a hardware issue. But if its a hardware issue, I can't figure out why it would randomly stop/start working like it does, and the thing is, most (75%) of the time, it is working. Its just the other 25% that annoys the hell out of me. That's why I thought I'd ask and see if anyone else had experienced it or found any solutions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousteeboy:
Its a CM7 thing I've noticed it on Xplod, Decks, and CM7 I don't really mind it cuz my ringers are loud as hell but yeah its pretty weird :shrugs:

Usually AOSP ROMs for some reason have that problem cuz on sense ROMs it never happens
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mredmond2012:
Well like I said before, I was having this problem on my stock Sense ROM.....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
I've never had that problem on CM and I've been using many different versions of it for a long time. I don't know if I am lucky or what but people complain about a lot of issues that are claimed to be CM issues....yet I've never had a single one of them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousteeboy:
Well I kinda had the same problem that he's run into on CM but I figured it out but I figured since he's had the problem on a sense ROM also then maybe its not the ROM but I jus went into everything that had the option to vibrate and turned them all on cuz I've flashed a couple ROMs and the vibration would be off I try not complain about anything about any ROM its a person hard work they've done for free I try to figure things out on my own as much as possible before I create a thread not bad talkin the OP but jus sayin you know?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I don't think that it's rom related. I've been having issues with my haptic feedback since I got the phone, even before rooting it. I think it's just a crappy vibrator. (If there's a better name than "vibrator", please someone tell me.)

I had vibration problems on my first Evo as well, it was never rooted. My second Evo was a HW004 and the haptic feedback was perfect - it was softer instead of the shock-like haptic feedback I've experienced with my 003s. My current and third Evo is also a 003, so I assumed it had something to do with the motor used in 003s.

I've just turned haptic feedback off. I thought I'd miss it, but I've gotten used to it. I still use have my phone set to vibrate for notifications and calls and I've seen fewer issues.

If you think you can go without, I'd suggest turning haptic feedback off. Otherwise, unroot and take it into Sprint. You may have more luck calling, because if you can't replicate the issue in front of them then they can't do much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mredmond2012:
Yeah, its definitely not ROM related...I don't know if people aren't reading the posts, but I've said several times that this occasionally happened on stock Sense, both before and after rooting.

Dang. I didn't want to have to bring it in to get it fixed, but I guess that's what I'm gonna have to do if its a hardware problem...I was really hoping it was software related or if someone would know of a way to fix it so that I could avoid dealing with warranty services...I got suckered into the Best Buy warranty, and it turns out that even though they either give you a new or refurbished model, they make you turn yours in and wait 5-7 days for the replacement to come in instead of ordering the replacement and then doing a trade with you when it comes in. I already experienced it once before when my USB port broke... :/

Not being able to replicate the issue is my main concern since sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Trying to get it to stop working at a time when I can actually run out to the store is gonna be a pain...And I really don't want to waste a trip to the Best Buy store only to have it start working again with me trying to tell the GeekSquad Agent, "I promise, I promise! It was broken just 5 minutes ago!!" I can't imagine how many of those they have to deal with....

Hi everybody!

Two weeks ago I installed the last nightly of CyanogenMod (android 2.3.7).

It worked correctly, but last night, i dont know why my defy was bricked and I couldn´t run clockworkmod...

Now I'm trying to repair it using RSDLite but any sbf version can resolve my problem

HELP PLEASE! :(

Thanks a lot
[Defy General] msalcedo:
Anyone can help me?
[Defy General] Arjoma:
What do you mean with "any sbf version can resolve my problem"? Is RSDLite working and successfully installing a clean Motorola software?

I said that because I have tryed to restore my defy with this files

JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0

JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1

JRDNEM_U3_2.34.1

And my motorola is already dead. RSDLite can´t restore it.

I think that's why I had installed android 2.3.7

Thanks for your reply!
[Defy General] pificos:
what was your base;

if it was the 179.02 CEE, or nordic, these should flash with RSD
[Defy General] msalcedo:
Mine was CEE.

I have just read in a forum that when you flash with RSD you cant downgrade.

So I need a ROM witch version must be android 2.3.7 or higher... that exists??

Thanks!
[Defy General] pificos:
just flash 179 CEE
[Defy General] msalcedo:
Yes! You were right.

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMoneyDTP:
what is the fastest rom and kernal combo for the s2 right now im running batista fox hound 2.0 and siyah 1.7.7 oc at 1.6ghz is there a faster kernel oc thats stable available ive read about 1.69ghz but i cant find it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
As the title implies...

I was finally able to repack the Stock Pulled Kernel from bubby323 with a little help from mkasick, and add CWM5. thats the only change.

No root, no Busybox, nothing else. But I am appending zips to install those here in my post.

What's the point you might ask?

Well as everyone knows, the source released from samsung was some bull****... LoStKernel, makes the best use of that source and adds lots of tweaks, and in my opinion is the best compiled custom kernel available...

But, some people stand by the point that only the stock pulled kernel is free from LoS, or is the LoS is least Rampant for them in that kernel.. But they want CWM too!

Well here it is, the Kernel it self is untouched, only the initramfs has been modified.

Updated 10-23-2011:

Added CWM 5.0.2.6 from Koush

and made some initramfs changes to make it more compatible with Rom Manager in the future.

Updated 10-27-2011:

Updated to CWM 5.0.2.7 from Koush

added init.d support

Updated 10-28-2011:

Updated initramfs layout similar to Koush's mentioned here.

though this one doesn't include stock recovery because of repack space limitations..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
ok, just used quickboot to get into cwm... sadly I forgot the salute for the touch, anyways, once in cwm it couldnt mount anything... got stuck when I selected mount usb, battery pull, power button, went to cwm, then rebooted itself, now seems ok... is this a quickboot issue, or did this kernel just not like my existing setup (midnight 2.1 installed as directed)? Kernel version says 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734... just wondering if its user error or I need to reflash the kernel... did NOT wipe anything, as I thought w/ kernels it was unnecessary... everything else seems fine, Titanium reports the same busybox, SU, and root as before... just wondering if this worked... I know the changes are subtle... but just checkin

It should work fine with zips and everything, except backing up restoring nands... that's external only
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asqwrd:
ok so to be clear cwm5 only works with external sdcard on this kernel. Because it works fine with the internal storage on the custom kernels do you have any insight as to y it doesnt work with this stock one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
It should work exactly as it does on my custom kernels...

Flash zips from internal and external

Back up and restore from external.

If that's not how its working, then I will need to look at it when I get home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Don't think you can do that. You need to ODIN a tar file and can only flash ZIP files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkmx2000:
I know I was trying to download the. Tar file to my phone then I was going to transfer it to my laptop and flash through ODIN the reason I have to do it this way is because my laptop wifi card died so I cannot use wifi on the laptop and I don't have a Ethernet cable.

2) I am not in a position to search the thread at the moment, but I believe Chris said he did not intend to add in this ability.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Its stock kernel with cwm packed in it. Cwm has to packed into the intramfs. Other than that it is stock. As far as the 2nd question maybe when we get official cwm from koush.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Exactly, did cwm ship on the phone? I think he was leaving it alone to keep the kernel as stock as possible to deliver the stock kernel experience but with recovery and root

I was talking about modifying the recovery itself to support nand operations to usb storage. Like cwm4 would do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Did you not read earlier in this thread what was posted? They said the earlier CWM4 was borked...wasn't working entirely correctly. It shouldn't create backups on the internal storage. Chris said he wouldn't include that...only chance you ever have of getting that is from Koush himself making updates to CWM Recovery. So I would ask him and not in this thread. I highly doubt you will get it because of what was already said earlier in the forum.
