Download SOC v.1.7.

Turn USB Debugging mode on, but don´t connect the phone yet.

Click "root".

Wait until it says "waiting for device"

Plug the phone.(Don´t select anything at the popup, there´s no need to do this!)

That should do the trick, as it worked perfect for me and my sister on Vista, but it should work on other Windows verions too.

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how to change the Change Servide provider name (Network name) ? After flashing with CyanogenMod 7 in my HTC Droid Eris it is showing as "Verizon Wireless" which is wrong. And I wanted to change it back to my service provider as MTS.

Thanks.
[Droid Eris General] scary alien:
sft_hunter,

The text that you wish to change is in the framework-res.apk file. I've modified this before on my Droid X but never did it on my Eris.

Although I modified the framework-res.apk file manually (the details are a little too involved to post here at the moment), I think there might actually be an app for doing this, but the name escapes me at the moment.

Try doing a Google search for "htc droid eris framework-res.apk" and that'll lead you to a lot of threads about some of the steps that might be involved (the manual way is not really for the faint-of-heart, LOL--I tried modifying a DX version of a friend's file and ended-up bootlooping him, but I'm pretty sure that was because he had a deodexed ROM and I didn't).

There are various ways and tools to use to perform this modification, so its kind of hard to suggest a specific one for you.

There might also be an option somewhere in CM7 to change this, but I don't know that for sure.

Good luck and cheers!

Currently using Handcent as my messaging app (but have also verified this in the stock messaging app). Whenever I get longer type of texts from my friends (most using iphones) it shows as a MMS message.

Is there a setting I may have missed to stop this? It's getting really annoying.

Also, is there a way to disable that stupid slideshow when someone sends more than 1 picture in a text?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dlwoodjr:
I text back and forth with my wife all the time... She has an iPhone 4S. I have never had any of her texts arrive as MMS unless they were that. I still use the stock app and running on the stock ROM unrooted. You said you verified this on the stock app, but was that ever before installing the Handcent app or only after?

As far as the stupid slideshow issue... I hate it too... Even if it's only 1 single solitary picture it will play the slideshow... Stupid... Not sure why, but I can't help with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Should be normal......... depending on how much you're typing. If you pass the length of 3 text messages, it automatically gets turned into mms to be able to send all of it in one go.

If you're typing less than 3 text messages worth and it still gets sent as an mms, you have a problem.

Would you guys say it'd be wise getting a Xoom at this point? I love the connectivity and dont mind the weight. Its the screen im not sure about...u guys happy with it?

Now that its been around for a wile do you guys have any regrets or would you recommend it instead of other, more recent and lightweight tablets?

I'd appreciate your thoughts...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I'll jump right in and say that I love mine. I've got a great screen, and there are some that seem a bit washed out, so you might want to look at the one you're getting just to make sure you like the colors and saturation is ok. Xoom has a more natural level of saturation than some of the other tabs that are going for drama. I think this is a great time to get a Xoom because Ice Cream Sandwich is coming and I think it will solve many of the issues people have been having with stock Honeycomb. Those of us who are rooted and use custom Roms/kernels already have a taste of ICS as the developers have tweaked and added lots of functionality to the basic Honeycomb OS, but with the ICS source code to be released, we'll have lots of great custom roms, because the xoom is a developer's tablet. This tab is only getting better. Still has great hardware specs, is tough, almost un-brickable and does just about all I could ask for. There is room for improvement though, especially on the software side, so it will be an exciting time.

If you can get a good deal on a new or gently used Xoom, I advise that you go for it.

Hi,

Someone has encountered this problem so far?

As per attachment, today have noticed a kind of a shadow that is appearing in all photos.

At first I thought it was some dust at the back of the lens cover :confused:

So I opened it's back cover carefully and cleaned the dust, and also the main camera, however the problem persists and it seems within the camera module. :mad:

The phone has never been exposed to humid environment & also kept in good care. Still under warranty.

Should I contact the supplier or such thing would not be considered to cover the warranty?

Thanks !

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Murdoc419:
Hello, I am in the process of editing the stock ROM but I have been unable to find a few things I would like to add. I have searched and browsed the forums with no luck so I hope I'm not just overlooking these things. Anyway, I want to add power toggles to the notification slider, add a reboot and screenshot option to the power menu, and lastly change the boot image, and a 1% battery mod.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction or perhaps guide me on how to do these things. I believe changing the boot image would be pretty simple but I haven't seen anything regarding custom boot images. Once I figure out Photoshop I'll most likely just create my own so I really just need to know where to put it, what type of file it is, and what size.

In the FAQ thread in the general section it says something about a 1% battery mod but not much detail is given. I'm not sure if it's the Team Blackhat app that does it or what.

As far as the other two things, I don't really know where to start. I'll continue to look and if I find out anything I'll post back to let you know but like I said I haven't found anything so far. Thanks in advance for any help and thanks will be given!

[General Questions and Answers] Spartan Legionnaire:
I was trying to uninstall some carrier apps through ADB on Windows, via CMD. I wasnt unable to do so, and investigating about my problem, I found that I can uninstall through Titanium Backup :D. Now I dont have anymore the vodafone apps and trial games that came with my Samsung Galaxy I5510!.

But for what I am writing this, is that for unknown reasons to my, when trying to uninstall through ADB, I always have the problem of READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM. I tried to remount through this command:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

that I found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872128 , at the ADB Workshop, at deleting files.

this command:

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3

# chmod 777 /system

from here: http://www.pocketmagic.net/?p=757

I was forgetting other thing, the first time I used ADB was guiding myself with this guide: http://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/0...how-to-remove-carrier-bloatware-from-android/

Maybe in the future I need to use ADB again, so thats why I am writing this, even though my problem with the carrier apps is solved.

And I have the stock Android 2.2 Froyo rooted with SuperOne Click.

And (again), I dont know where to place this post, my smartphone doesnt have a subforum, and I also ask for the admins to add the subsection :)

[Captivate General] PizzaAmerican23:
Im unfamiliar with the names of new roms, and want to try a new rom out. In the past I have used CM7, MIUI, apex, etc.

I am currently on Pinnacle 1.2 and I love it. From what i understand this is a KH3 rom, and was a official captivate rom, and this is why my battery life is so much better compared to CM and apex roms.

From now on i only want to stick with releases like pinnacle, for battery purposes. How do i know which releases are captivate releases, and which are I9000 or other roms?

Which rom is out right now that is the newest official captivate release? Also is there any new kernels that are compatible with pinnacle/new oficial captivate releases?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate General] IlluminatedOne:
1. Samsung never released any official GB ROM for our captivates, KH3 is also a leaked build, though have been pretty solid build.

2. KF1, KH3, KI1, KI2, KJ1, KJ2 and KJ3 are Captivate (I897) GB ROM base leaked so far.

3. There are few KJ3 custom ROMs out there.

4. KJ3 kernels (Boog's, Corn Kernel, Samurai & Red Nebula) should work with Pinnacle 1.2/1.3.
[Captivate General] studacris:
Samsung doesn't release the update, the carrier does. Rogers in Canada has released gingerbread officially for the captivate. And source code for the kernel.

Manufacturers are at the mercy of the carriers.

Cappy native builds usually start with k

I9000 start with j

Cm7 and miui are completely different altogether.
[Captivate General] PizzaAmerican23:
Ah, i see. So just leaks of gingerbread have been released so far? Is that the order they came out in? Is kj3 a better rom than kh3?

I basically just want to know which rom is based on what release - and how old that release has been out for. I see so many roms on xda, but really know nothing about the initial release that they are based on.

Is there a site everyone watches to wait for releases?

Do rogers builds work on captivate? i know the answer is yes, but i mean work like a (k) build does on my phone.
[Captivate General] Captain Zero:
Like you, I like to stay stock as much as possible. Use Andromeda³ and Ursa Minor². It's Froyo and as close to official stock as you can get. It's a great ROM and really underrated with all the usual fixes you would expeect; exceptional performance, good battery life, GPS fixed, etc. It's really all you need. Slap on Go Launcher Ex and a nice theme and you're set.

No longer sent from my BlackBerry.
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
Yes thats the order of Captivate GB updates....KH3 is most solid version yet with good battery, gps and over all performance...A new one has just popped up called KK1.....

The naming convention depends on the months and number of release...K is for 2011 in KH3 but H stands for the month and number(3) stands for the number of release that month...similarly for others...

try Samfirmware.com and XDA....but it will be all over the news if the official updates comes for captivate....like it came for Epic
[Captivate General] mfdemicco:
I used a KJ3 ROM for a while, then went to KH3 (Pinnacle). I saw no difference in memory usage, etc. except that the KJ3 ROM was missing a bunch of ringtones (only came with digital phone), and the Gallery was pretty much unusable (black screen issue). For me, KH3 has been less buggy. Now there's a new leak out, but I'll wait to see if there are any real improvements before going through the trouble of flashing another ROM and configuring my phone again.

[Captivate General] Dnorwood:
The first K stands for the year K=2011, the stock shipped firmware was JF6, J=2010. At least this is my understanding of it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dev_man77:
Just seeing if any of you more tech savy people have heard of this or know how to go about attempting it.

Hey guys, wasn't sure where to post this but I figured I would start here.

I want to know if I would be able to use something like a remote desktop or another way to retrieve data from a serial cable to a computer over the network.

I am on a Formula SAE team for my school and a member from last year had built a car computer for use of a telemetry link. I know he attempted to use his GSM network but T-mobile capped him so low to where it didnt really ever work right.

Right now I have a Sprint Epic 4G Touch. I was wondering if there was a way to link my phone to either the car computer or the actual CDS data acquisition system just to see live data coming from the car as opposed to logging the data and viewing it later.

I still have to boot up the car computer and see whats all on there as far as specs go but I did snap a few pictures.

Basically its just a serial port out from the data acquisition unit to the computer. Just seeing if there was a way to go from the computer to my phone for the telemetry option. Or if there was a way to fab up a serial cable or unit directly to my phone so I can see the raw data at a computer nearby.

Any information regarding telemetry would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
It's do-able. some friends and i did it with an r/c car a while back

there may be an easier way and someone else might chime in but

you could pull it off with

2 android phones one to send the data out and your normal phone to recieve the data.

an arduino and a usb shield to connect data (or possible an obd2 shield if you get an obd port)

2 pieces of custom software one to process the data and one to receive.

it's really not as difficult as it sounds.but definitive takes some time and effort.

of course things get much easier if you just need a wifi /bluetooth link for telemetry from the cockpit as opposed to a full cdma link. in that case you can eliminate the second phone.just depends really on how much range you need.

alot of it depends on what options the ecu/telemetry computer has for data out or if you'd need to tie into individual sensors. most decent systems should be fairly straightforward. and how pretty your interface needs to be. a straight text interface is fairly simple could even pull most data straight to a terminal with minimum effort.

if your really interested in doing this. let me know and i can probably point you to some good places to start.

edit if it is really just a standard serial connection it should be pretty straightforward also

edit again just remembered if it really is a serial port >>>>>

Since the audio output of the Android is accessible and addressable, [www.robots-everywhere.com/] wrote source code to use the left and right channels as separate serial communication lines. This circumvents the need to bust into the device and muck about with the hardware which is great if you want a no-risk hack that allows communications to an RS232 port. Any hardware on which you can write to the DAC (and control the sampling rate) is a potential target.

so you probably could do it with just 2 phones without the arduino ect.

or just a cable from the serial out port to the headphone in port would also work with the hack from above not much else would be needed

How far do you want to go, how much data you trying move and how much bandwidth. Hams have been doing data uplinks for decades. If it's only 50 miles, maybe you should look for a local ham radio club. Even if you need farther distances you maybe able to do something with packet radio or dstar. Even if you are dead set on using cellular, there are probably a few cell engineers in the club. After all Hams are the ones who pioneered the whole idea of cellular networks.
