[Samsung Infuse 4G] Wilkij:
Hello, fresh noobi on board.

I have an AT&T Infuse 4G which I would like to upgrade to Gingerbread. I did this with my HTC Eris and the process was simple and painless (one script, two .zip copies to SD card, flash and reboot).

Researching the Samsung forums, WIKIs, etc. has yielded a lot of information but, since I have no Linux background, so much of it seems like jargon and is confusing to me. I am encountering warnings of compatable kernels, Flashing options, Windows console programs, etc. etc. etc.

I have a technical (though dated) background, so I am not afraid to try things, but I would prefer a step by step process that simply gets me to my target without dumping everything a techie knows about the subject on my aged head.

I have rooted the phone and deleted a lot of AT&T bloatware with Titanium backup. My target is to load a CM7 (or equivalent) ROM with everything still functional and Market free of AT&T restrictions. Is there anyone willing to provide me with such a guide? I know it takes time and effort, but I'll see to it that God rewards you for your assistance. :rolleyes:

Samsung Infuse running stock

Thanks guys, I found what I needed. The Infusion instructions were step by step and provided links to the required downloads. Followed the instructions and now have Infusion 2.2 loaded on my phone. I'll try the market fix later.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
Look at the compiled CM7 thread under development. Everything you need is there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
Go to GTGs 2.2.x rom, it give a rundown of what you need to do. If you want a different rom basically swap the one out with his in the instructions. Also Do Not Forget to get 3e recovery ect first before flashing the rom

Reminder......be sure to READ the kernel or rom you are choosing, it Will say either GB(gingerbread) or froyo. DO NOT mix froyo with GB stuff you'll get stuck!

Is there a screen capture feature built into this phone? I'm currently running ARHD 3.6.4. I thought the button combo was power+home, but that just either brings up the power menu or tiled home screen. No screen shot.
[HTC Sensation] Rawahi:
I don't know but I'm currently using version 4.1.7

I can capture by pressing power button along with home (don't press power button too long)

try this on your room, it might work.
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
Negative,

as mentioned, Power + Home does nothing but tile the homescreen, bring up the power menu or put the phone into sleep mode. I've experimented with timing of the power+home key presses which explains the different results.

If it does take a screen shot they show up in the gallery right? Cause that's where I'm looking and no screen shots are in there.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Go to the ARHD Thread - First Post - FAQ - Q25
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
You are going to have to edit the build.prop to enable screen caps
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
I found the screencapture entry but when I try and edit and save (using ES Editor) I get an error: "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved"

Before editing it directly on the phone I tried copying it to my SD in order to edit on my PC. When trying to move it back to the phone it said: File cannot be moved.

EDIT:

I just noticed the file does not have write permissions enabled. So do I have to copy to PC, then change permissions, edit/save, change permissions back and copy to phone again?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Use ES File Explorer.

Go to settings and make sure "root explorer" and "mount file system" are ticked.

Then edit the file,save and reboot.

:)
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
Both options are greyed out.

I tried to check the "root explorer" box and got a warning confirmation, something about being an "Experimental Feature", hit the Yes button then it asked for Superuser access, which I said yes too.

Then it flashed something like "Test Failed".Now both options are still greyed out and nothing happens if I tap to uncheck them.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Download File Expert, go to menu and settings and enable root explorer - Check mark the /system directory and hit menu then say mount RW.

I found this one works much easier for editing files than ES Exp.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
I don't know about custom rom's but in the stock, yes. However, I have absolutely no idea what the screen cap button is. All I know is that I've accidentally taken a few and they're in my gallery lol
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
Man, I'm sorry but this is just NOT working.

I installed File Expert, changed the settings to enable Root Explorer, checked the /sys directory and enabled RW.

When I try to edit the file it wont save the changes.

I've tried editing the file using ES Note Editor, File Editor and File Expert (although the latter does not seem to have an editing function; no keyboard pops up when I tap the text).

When using ES Note Editor I change the screencapture command from FALSE to TRUE then menu>save. But when I open it again to view the changes the command is still FALSE.

When using File Editor to change the command I get an error when trying to save: "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved"

I also noticed when I click out of the editor and back into the file directory the checkmark in /System folder is unchecked (like the Read/Write permissions revert back).

I appriciate the help. I had no idea it would be this complicated
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Ok. Try way B.

Skip trying to enable the internal one and go to the market and download drocap2. It is free and works great.
[HTC Sensation] cryptstyling:
Just use an app called "shoot me".

The perfect screen shot app that works on all roms.

Just instal, go to where you want to make the picture off, shake your phone and voila its in your gallary with his own folder.

Just google for it. its not in the market anymore
[Motorola Droid 3] roblikeschocolatecake:
I was originally stock, then rooted. After we had the update i never bothered to re-root. I will be rooting again for sure, but is it worth it to install the latest Liberty Rom? I use my phone daily and would like a rom in which everything works. Is their anything not working on the Liberty Rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] danielkuhlman:
I'm using liberty now. The only issue I have is that aapps on the sides of the app drawer are sometimes hard to tap. Not a huge issue, the rom is super fluid otherwise. its my favortie rom for the d3.
[Motorola Droid 3] roblikeschocolatecake:
Thank you so much, im deffinitely getting this rom now. Hows battery life?

[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:

[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
This is only an issue with Liberty Launcher. Use ADW or LP.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
I hate the liberty stock launcher.. tho I used go launcher forever w/ no issues so I just reloaded it onto liberty. However I just switched to adw to be able to customize more like 2 days ago. I'm not sure if ima keep using adw yet tho despite for once everything looks 100% how I want.
[Motorola Droid 3] GoogleAndroid:
Love Liberty. I'm using it until CM7 is fixed up a bit more. It's very fast and AOSP like, with the stability of a stock rom. Though I'm using Blur launcher. It never gets killed with the build.prop tweaks from Liberty.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykatemom:
Hello all. I'm fairly new to Honeycomb, though I've been using Android for over a year now on my phones, so I'm familiar with the rooting process. I've never had any problems rooting my phones, and have done so, and am admittedly something of a flashaholic. However, if I screw my phone, worst case scenario I get a replacement from Sprint. I'm a little worried about rooting my TF101 and ending up with a very decorative, $500 brick. I've done some hunting, but haven't really found the info I'm looking for, so I thought I'd ask a few questions.

1) How easy is recovery should I get some kind of craziness occuring if I bork an install of non-stock material?

2) Beyond the usual benefits (battery life, roms, etc), are there any particular or notable benefits to rooting the TF101?

Thanks for the input and the tolerance for my noobish questions. :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
1. There is a soft brick recovery tool available on another website (cannot post the link on here) that will pretty much recover from any soft brick scenario. In case u don't know, a hard brick would be physical damage or something just as severe.

2. Being rooted on the tf, apart from the obvious, allows u to install custom roms which are speed optimized and can offer visual customizations amongst other things. U can check out the benefits by reading the Rom posts in the development section. Now that the source code for ics is out, its only a matter of time before an ics custom Rom comes out. And usually that will happen before Asus officially releases it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykatemom:
Thanks for the info Cav. I didn't realise the distinction between a hard and soft brick, good to know!

[HTC Desire S] RichieHeijmans:
Hey,

I recently unlocked my phone using HTCDev.com and rooted it.

At first I couldn't get CWM Recovery on it using ROMManager (even though Rommanager said it was installed it loaded to the default recovery) but I got it on there using adb.

Now when I try to flash any Rom it'll just get stuck on the white screen with green HTC text.

When I restore to my backup of the default rom it'll just boot as normal.

I have HBoot 2.00.0002 (Sense 3.0 update) S-ON (unlocked).

I tried flashing it using Rommanager, CWMRecovery, manually wiping the Cache, Data and Dalvik using CWM, I tried flashing in CWM and I tried both MIUI and Cyanogenmod.

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yes. Unlocking with htcdev leaves your device S-ON, and stops the rom installers from flashing boot.img. So you're left with custom rom, and stock 3.0 kernel. Might work with sense 3.0, but flash any 3.5 rom and you're stuck at boot.

You need to:

- open the custom rom and extract boot.img

- flash the custom rom by the usual way

- flash boot.img manually using fastboot (look for instructions here in xda)

- and....

- ...

- wait for it...

- ...

- search first before you start a new thread. This has been answered many times here in this sub-forum. :)

Cheers

Or at least look in the index (see the last link at end of my Sig) this is covered by one of the guides

[HTC Desire S] TooByAas:
Hi!

I just flashed CyanogenMod 7.1 ROM, and then flashed it's boot.img with "fastboot flash boot" and that worked well! But i did'n like that rom, so i restored Hyperion ROM in cwm recorvery and it did stuck on the htc -logo. I thought that may be the CyanogenMod boot images fault, and i flashed Hyperions boot image and then it booted normally!

So, until I get my phone S-Off(now unlocked via htcdev) do I need always flash a new boot image if I dont come from ROM wich have same kernel that the ROM what I'm flashing?

Sorry for my english!

Zipalign apks of Stock Roms by using following steps:

Thanks to Senab for the Zip file

Steps:

1. Download the zip file from the following post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=594615

2. Extract the file

3. Rename "zipalign_apks" file as "zipalign_apks.sh" and past it into your "/system" folder using root explorer

4. Then put Zipalign file to "/system/bin" folder using root explorer

5. Get the Scripmanager from Market and navigate to "/system" folder, run the zipalign_apks.sh file as root

6.Done

7. My log shows AIME.apk is zipaligned rest all other apps are already zipaligned
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
knzo's init.d script with zipalign binary is a lot simpler IMO.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Using ROM toolbox does the same thing...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Kanad:
Agreed, one advantage I found here is we can edit the script to zipalign "/system/app" folder applications, once zipaligned then we can remove all these files and save useful memory. It is not required to run zipalign on every boot. Also now new market apps have already been zipaligned hence it is a one time process IMO.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetpotatoz:
i believe most if not all apps are zipaligned.

anyway i run the steps as in OP

and pretty surprise to see below apps are not yet zip-aligned...

com.tf.thinkdroid.amarket-1.apk

com.mactiontech.X5EA-1.apk

com.cootek.smartinputv5-1.apk

com.cootek.smartinputv5.language.chs-1.apk
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Kanad:
1. Can You please post the log file in the "/data" folder.

2. Also, in the script change the "/data/app" to "system/app" and run the script again, you will find that now system files are being zip aligned.

3. I will try this on my P500 and get back to you with my findings.Thanks

Can current users comment on GPS locking speed and accuracy of the Vivd? I have Inspire 4G now. It's good for most parts, but sometimes during overcast and rainy days, it can be unreliable. Yesterday I came to NYC and walking between tall buildings made locking quite difficult. I'm not sure what kind of GPS chip the Vivid has. I know the galaxy sII has amazing GPS with the SifiII chip.

Also how is the audio quality through the headphone for everyone? I'm kind of an audiophile, so having good DAC like the Wolfson in the Captivate/Galaxy S I is important. Thx

GPS and Mapping Programs

I have done limited testing of the GPS with Google Maps, Backcounty Navigator and CoPilot 8 on the Vivid. I found the response good. With CoPilot, when I reached an intersection, the GPS showed me at that location. Google Maps and Backcountry Navigator both had me about 40-60 feet from my actual location in one test I did where I was standing still in an open location.

I found the GPS quick to start up. The applications had fixes in 15-20 seconds.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jngtt:
coming from the samsung galaxy horror, this gps works faster than my tom tom, its accurate from 30-50 ft, i would say this gps is one of the best i used on a phone.
