[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubysz:
I don't like flashing things without knowing what do they do.

So it helps that I'm a programmer by day, and I make it a point to look at the code of the scripts I'm CWM-flashing.

I downloaded a modem from Perka's stash and I'm not sure what I'm looking at with this one:

package_extract_dir("updates", "/tmp");
show_progress(0.100000, 10);
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/redbend_ua");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/redbend_ua");

run_program("/tmp/redbend_ua", "restore", "/tmp/modem.bin", "/dev/block/bml12");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/redbend_ua");

run_program("/tmp/redbend_ua", "restore", "/tmp/zImage", "/dev/block/bml7");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);

I'm unsure about a few things here:

1. Why is there a need to chmod redbend_ua twice, and then again after running it?

2. We've run the first run_program, and we have a modem. Lovely. Why is the script then messing with the kernel? Especially since there isn't a kernel in this package. I have a suspicion this is simply a sort of template package, and you can put in a kernel, modem or both and it will work, but I'm unsure about this. (Also, how would it react in the case of a file being missing?)

On the whole - What scripting language is this? Where can I find a proper documentation for it? How do I create one myself? I've googled it plenty and didn't seem to come to a proper conclusion..

I've tried every darn free player app in the market and had no great results. Either there is lag when watching videos, or there is bad pixelation/divxing. Or it won't play the files.

What do you guys use on you flyers to play HD video content? Something suitable for .mkvs and .movs...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] XflasH_slo:
I use DicePlayer on my Flyer and Desire HD, and 720p mkv's play flawlesly. Well worth those 3€ for the application!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zlatty:
Thanks. I've tried the trial version. Mkvs play well. .movs and .wmvs dont play well. It uses software acceleration for movs so its a bit choppy, though the sound works. .wmvs video is off by a second. :(

Hi everyone.... I've been using dhd for almost 6 months and notes that it got slow with time... I mean it's transitions and animations and scrolling everything got dead slow... Don't know if it's because of gingerbread or anything else... Plus its paint is also fading around the corners...

Any suggestions for improving the speed thingy... I'm on stock but planning to flash a custom rom very soon... Any recommendations... Thanks....

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] rakinisbat:
No idea about what is happening to your paint but for the speed of your phone It happens, sometimes when you have too many apps running in the background. I think.if u get a custom Rom the.best 1 that I recommend is Rcmix3d 3.5 works pretty good for me.
[Desire HD General] matoxic:
Go for the MIUI.. if you go en(dot)miui(dot)com (I'm not spamming lol.. but my first post actually contains a link >.<… you can pick your rom there... I ain't going back to sense... check out cyanogenmod
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
Sense is fine but if you compare it to Cyanogen Mod or MIUI HTC Sense would be slow it depends on what you want other people will always recommend their daily Rom hell i would recommend you RCMix Runny 1.5 but thats my opinion.

Flash CM,MIUI and Sense rom then pick the one you prefer.

Happy Flashing :)
[Desire HD General] 314:
Stock HTC Sense is just really slow. Scrolling a 4x4 page full of icons on stock 2.1 sense is slower than scrolling a page of 4x4 icons on pretty much any custom rom.

CM7 and Miui (replace miui launcher with LP/ADW/Go) are fast and stable roms. Sense roms look nice, especially since sense 3(.5) has 3d widgets.
[Desire HD General] matoxic:
My MIUI, is rock solid I love it.. 1.4ghz, UV-50.. and after tweaking a little more its blazing fast.. I receive hardly any slow down whatsoever :) the built in antispam get rid of those annoying loan texts I managed to receive.. it has a lot of options that are useful to me (maybe not for others).

The above is my opinion, and like the above said, I would also recommend installing all 3 and decide on that. The one thing I would add about sense :), its too bloated lol, even after uninstalling alot..
[Desire HD General] salarkhel:
Why change the launcher in miui...????

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
So it doesn't get mistaken for an iphone? My recommendation would be either Stock Cyanogen or my current favourite Blackice.
[Desire HD General] 314:
the Miui launcher seems to be somewhat laggy [Especially with a LWP]. Compared to ADW/GO/LP, it doesn't have any extra features or customisation - or even an app drawer.

The only thing you lose when switching to a different launcher (and uninstalling the miui default launcher) are miui widgets (folders, etc), however there is still the Music widget and the Miui icons. Pretty much all launchers except MIUI have app drawers, and go launcher allows as much homescreens as miui (and is much more customisable). Most launchers also have better Transition effects than miui as well (Go has Random transitions) and have continuous scrolling.

I don't really see the point in folders anyways- Opening one takes abut as much time as sliding to a different screen, or opening the app drawer...
[Desire HD General] T7utmos:
:rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] salarkhel:
May be in should go for cm7... And chroming out my fone for that paint problem.... :)

As for miui if it looks like iOS then am out of this league.... I hate iOS...

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] matoxic:
There is a speed fix for that.. Go into launcher setting, and "enable" hi Res gfx.. then go back to your launcher and flick a few screens.. then go back to launcher settings and "disable" the option.. and like magic aall form of lag in the launcher is removed! I didn't believe it would happen when o was told, but its 100% working for my.. and like I said in my earlier post.. anyone who says MIUI is slow, I'd laugh :D

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

It does look like iOS, but you need to try it first.. I am also a hater of the iPhone and apples other devices.. but MIUI and android has a helluva lot more functionality and freedom that the iPhone *cough* Apple down allow you.. also on MIUI the themes are brilliant, you can mix and match everything..

CM7 for the matter, is also an excellent ROM.. blazing fast also, and has some great addons.. but I ain't used it a lot myself so I can't tell you a lot about it other than its speed

Sense, is complete bloatware.. HTC really need to tone down the unbelievable amounts of useless apps especially background apps.. and now sense 3.5 eye candy.. instead of eye candy, more functionality as well.. you even seen their adverts.. they actually open the website, press home and then rapidly press bookmark so it "looks" instant lol.. you can even even witness the screen lag in the advert "/.. go CM7 lol
[Desire HD General] salarkhel:
Alright I can find a very nice how-to for miui on their page but not for cm7.... Plzzz help me in this matter... I need a SINGLE link to a thread or site that tells in detail how to flash cm7.... It's getting irritating from my side but am a newbie.... :(

I know the thread is slightly old, but I thought I would post, the aluminium is anodised, not painted. The wear you are having is because the layer of aluminium oxide is rubbing off. That will be due to misuse or friction of some sort, it doesn't and can't happen naturally.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Try the cyanogenmod wiki, it has instructions from stock rom, but the reality with almost all custom roms is "enter clockwork recovery, and wipe and then install from zip"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mike.sauce:
Well, this noob really needs your help. I went to flash CM7 last night after hearing about how the stable release had been fixed - after clearing caches and all the other steps needed to be taken prior to a flash I applied CM7. Now i'm stuck in a boot loop and when i do a battery pull and try to enter hboot it just runs me back into the boot loop.

I was rooted (obvi) and running virtuous unity 3.0 before this - never had a problem with this before so i'm a bit freaked out.

Any help will be greatly appreciated and met with clicks of the "thanks" button.

Sorry in advance if this topic has been addressed, I tried my best for a couple of hours to find a thread where someone had the same issue as me but to no avail.

[LG Optimus 3D] axlina:
Hello. I'm new to this forum.

Can LG Optimus 3D P920 users please give a quick review of the phone. I heard that LG devices are breaking a lot. I don't mean in two pieces, but hardware problems. I wanna know if it's true?

Are you satisfied with your LG Optimus 3D P920?

thx in advance for answering me.
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
Very satisfied.

Phone looks good, feels good. Really love the design. It just feels so balanced.

Hardware is excellent, no problems at all. Haven't heard of hardware problems.

Software is decent. Would be considered excellent if it was a year or two ago.

Wow factor is still on 3D and the potential of dual channel

I haven't regretted getting this phone.

Current problems are pretty much outdated version of Android and lack of active developers.
[LG Optimus 3D] jordanprudent:
Excellent phone over all.

Used a HTC sensation, iPhone 4 and desire hd before this one.

performance of the phone is very good. The 512 mb of ram works fine. Only issues I have found is when you are multitasking heavily playing the asphalt 6 in 3d does create some lag.

Feel and ergonomics of the phone are excellent, it is large compared with almost anything but has a very nice screen, good resolution and colour saturation. Responds nicely to touch. The brushed aluminium on the front with the strip on the back creates a nice simple look. Not as well built as the HTC but still nice and better than the Samsung.

Camera is ok. Low light conditions the shots are not very good, during the day works fine. On par with the Samsung and sensation.

3d camera works brilliantly, very good depth of 3d which is adjustable .

3d aspects of the phone are of course its highlight. It is amazing and no one will deny that. Watching movies and moving photos into 3d you can really tell. The sample videos lg provide really show it off.

Software is probably the phones downfall. Mine is rooted so there isn't to much of an issue in terms of me missing out. However the upgrade is missed in terms of performance and battery life aswell as some options. Should be on its way soon I hope.

Battery life of the phone is very poor as standard. Even with auto sync off you won't be getting more than 7 hours out of the phone with casual use.

Saying that after rooting and using Acura custom ROM , live wallpaper all settings set to push and brightness on full I get around 10 -12 hours with a lot of use.

Its just a quick review, hope its helps. Out of the phones I have Owened (which is a lot) this is possibly my favourite. Take away the 3d you end with a to of the range phone with very high benchmarks only behind a s2 and 2x. its not a gimmick , you wouldn't be disappointed
[LG Optimus 3D] Jaza78:
Very satisfied.

3D is amasing

[LG Optimus 3D] maxld:

Good one, but back on topic I think that it is a great phone, just needs ginger update, that's all.
[LG Optimus 3D] axlina:
when you say missing options, do you mean something like not being able to set ringtone for only one contact, even old phones can do than, but i can't find it here. Do you know how it can be done?

and when im trying to connect my o3d, lg update service says that it's not connected and it is? any ideas? thank you :)
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
Missing options such as official front camera support among other things.

You can't have individual ringtones for the contacts app. Not possible.

I use Go Contacts and you can set individual contacts there. Check it out.

Are your drivers installed? Is debug mode on? Storage is NOT mounted right?
[LG Optimus 3D] jordanprudent:
No I mean just the tweaks which come with each Android release

nothing specific from gingerbread
[LG Optimus 3D] Benz-Driver:
No problems at all. I'm very happy with my LGO3D! I've never heard, that LG has more hardware problems than other manufactors. LG is high quality, just like Samsung. They also make high quality (3D)TVs.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I have to agree, my previous Android phone is also made by LG and their phones do seem sturdy and well built (my dad uses my old phone which ironically has gingerbread on it already and flies along so O3D should be even better when the gingerbread update finally arrives).

Have dropped both phones and both still working fine,had a problem with phone rebooting since most recent update but after some searching it seems that was related to a sleep setting and not the update itself.

HDMI output quality is good, phone speed is good, 3D playback is brilliant, the 3D game converter is great and well worth the update, battery life is not great with the stock battery (probably the only real flaw with the phone), only 512 Mb Ram which sounds bad and I wish there was more because it would future proof it better but it really doesn't seem to impact performance in any noticeable way.

Phone is loud, which is good, and phone calls are clear except through loudspeaker which is loud but not so clear but overall a good phone, great if you like 3D :)

Firstly i'd like to start off by apoligizing in advanced as i am sure i have posted in the wrong section.

I have a samsung galaxy s GT-I9000;

Currently running:

2.3.3

Baseband - I9000SRJV1

Kernel - 2.6.35.7-19000XWJVN-CL366455

Build number - GINGERBREAD.XWJVN

Basically when trying to update in Kies i get the this version cannot be updated message (as i have found all over these forums).

I want to restore back to an official Kies version so that I can update officially.

I do apoligize if there is already another thread which would solve my problem but on my searching I couldn't find one.

What would be the best way to get to an official Kies release (which i can update in kies at a later time).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just in case you need to know; It is an Australian phone.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdabar:
Hi all, I went with my MotoDefy into the water to take a couple of pictures and... lets say it was not a good idea.

After some time I found a screen digitizer on ebay and with some extra cares (and my brother's efficient help) the phone is working again (after some months in a drawer).

As I said, now it works, using the MIUI rom, because it was still failing with the stock one, nonetheless, there is a lot of dust inside the screen. I have openned it several times, to clean it again and close with care, but after several days of use, it's full of dust again.

Any ideas of how to solve this issue?

Thanks!
