Ok, installed the latest version of Gear Kernel for Galaxy S B ....

http://www.xdafileserver.nl/Files/D...galaxysb/GearKernel_JB_GalaxySB_1.0.9v2sb.zip

I think reinstalling that app will be useless, because before trying ROM reflashing, I tried to play with its color, exactly like my wife did the night before. No success.

Still the same problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
suggest you re try that app again, it may have set something in your hardware, since nothing in software has worked for you. This normally happen in TV's when you adjust tint, but not sure what app could do that.

Yes, same thing.

Still blue :(

The kernel starts to load and after 1 second it turns blue ... as if it had just loaded a "setting" that made it change its color.

That's annoying !!!!

Am looking at all the Jorte settings, there's nothing to suggest changing Android colors.

I changed the settings, rebooted, .... same blueish screen :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
I have discovered an interesting thing.

As I said, CWM also gives me the blueish color. Well, CWM 5.x and below will show up fine.

Maybe there's a way to flash the whole recovery partition with Odin? Is there a way to format/wipe it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] need4steer:
This blue screen problem is very common

Hi

It seems that this blue screen problem is very common in this forum.

Did someone manage to solve this problem, or is familiar with a working solution?

Just in order to be organized and help others, here is a reference to some of the users and their posts regarding this problem:

MrCabana in [Q] Samsung Galaxy S i9000B blue screen problem

kssthomas in [Q] Samsung Galaxy S blue screen error, which also posted a video in YouTube - Samsung Galaxy S i9000 - Blue Screen problem

IntelVN in [Q] [PROBLEM] Blue Screen On GT-I9000

The only thing that I got from all of these threads is that it's probably because of CWM 6.x and above, and that in CWM 5.x everything is okay. (Thanks a lot to MrCabana for this conclusions)

So, did someone manage to solve this problem, or is familiar with a working solution?

Edit: I posted a thread in which I summarize all I know about this issue.

Edit: This issue is solved. Please look in my thread for more information.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] need4steer:
Did you solved this issue until now?

Let me get it straight, you have managed to update to JB 4.2.2 withough having a bluish color everywhere?

Only the dead battery caused the bluish look on your screen?

And then even if trying to reflash the same files - the bluish look won't go away (unless returning to stock)?

And about CWM5.x - you said that it don't have the bluish look. Did you flash JB from it? If so, it had the bluish look again?

I know that in your case a screen digitizer solved the issue, but, as you written yourself, it's probably not a hardware issue, but a software - and I'm trying my best to solve it.

What I got until now is that, according to DerTeufel1980 and pawitp, this issue is caused by the updated framebuffer driver of the Nexus S in the CM9 kernels, and the actual problem is that some devices contain incorrect calibration data.

BTW, very early CM9 builds should work because they don't use this yet.

Edit: I posted a thread in which I summarize all I know about this issue.

Edit: This issue is solved. Please look in my thread for more information.

If you haven't already done so at least once (ie haven't run the HTC unlock) ...then wait a few days, it will be worth the wait.

I love surprises :) I haven't even rooted my tab yet. Can't wait to see what's around the corner.

So the official is about to drop

Hopefully it comes with some kennel source
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
No, it's not that. (Although you could be right)

Something else, something in a lot of ways better.

Ok so now I am interested but feel like I am missing out because I unlocked my device. Any other tidbits you can share?

Oh man, you better have a way around for us to share in that too.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
You'll get it too but you don't need to hold off on anything becasue you're already done the unlock.

I hope OP isn't trolling... Q.Q
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
A look at my previous posts should answer that. I don't troll.

The correct answer has already been given somewhere in this thread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
You are having fun now. Sounds like as mentioned an easy update method which will be a great utility
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Yes, I am having fun, but for now not confirming or denying anything.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
I doubt it because he said that those of use that did the HC upgrade already will benefit and that it is bigger than the official HC release. How can an easy update method be bigger than the official release?

It's ICS. I think I'm going to buy another Flyer.

Thanks Globatron.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
Dude, it is not ICS. Not because it isnt possible but because he said it would specifically benefit those who haven't done HTC unlock yet. Don't go buy another flyer because you think ICS is a couple of days out.

I would appreciate cm9 support and a maintainer though :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] penguinelf:
I didn't mean to challenge or discredit. I am really looking forward to whatever this may be :d

Anyone working on this yet?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] buckwheat.phd:
[[bump]]

Really - these handy pull down toggles (on/off's for wifi, bluetooth etc) have been on every ver of Android since 2.0. Until now - who's brilliant idea was it to remove these?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Toggles in the notification bar have only ever been an OEM add-on, they are not part of stock Android/AOSP.

That said, it's definitely one of the most obvious missing features vs. the RAZR's contemporaries from HTC and Samsung.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] n20capri:
My wife's new Pantech Breakout has some nice notification toggles stock! I'd love for something like that for my Razr!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iguana775:
yea, I miss those too. hopefully ICS has something like that in it whenever that comes out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
Available in the Market as always for example via Widgetsoid.

How many times will I have to say that for people to understan, unbelievable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] n20capri:
Well it doesn't work very well maybe that's why...It doesn't work with either of my Motorola phones w/o the popup - and the popup defeats the purpose imo.

Perhaps it works better on other devices idk...

Additionally, a lot of the toggles don't even work...it looks real nice and seems to be very configurable but just doesn't work for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
Add the Toggle:Power Contorl widget to have some toggles.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bikercr:
Notification Toggle is working on my RAZR with a few minor glitches and enables customized pull-down toggles. This is a great workaround until ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pb1379:
Try MySettings, works like a charm :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FrAsErTaG:
Shady's rom has toggles and Im now working on them for my rom also :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nila@ufl.edu:
Widgetsoid seems like a great app with a lot of potential and nice customization features, but on the Razr you can't toggle directly from the notification bar with it. Instead clicking on the toggle icon will popup another window to toggle the setting on or off. That and I haven't been able to change the colors of the toggles in the dropdown so that it's readable.

Notification toggle is the closest I've found. Each toggle takes up a line but you can actually turn the item on or off straight from the dropdown.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Its not a razr issue... Its a ginger bread issue...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stunno:
Click the Widgetsoid icon, at the bottom of the screen press the notification icon then tick the Use custom style box. Scroll down and you can change the colours

I wasn't overly impressed with the speed to be honest with you, and after loading Firefox 7 on, I think I'll stick with that (plus I can use AddOns). Mobile browsing is never lightning fast, but I think they touted the Silk browser as the best thing since sliced bread. I'm not as convinced.

I've loaded Dolphin HD, Opera Mobile and Firefox and tried them all out on the Fire. Opera Mobile is now my daily driver. Even if you choose not to use Opera Turbo (The Opera equivalent of Silk), you get really good speed and fast rendering.

What's more, when you go back to a previous page, it comes up like, instantly, whereas there's more load time for the other browsers. Makes navigating really fast and painless.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dshot:
hi guys,

ive recently bought a samsung galaxy s gt i9000 off ebay. im chuffed to bits with it, i had upgraded from my first android ( tmobile pulse) which was abysmally slow :D

Since having my sgs ive installed kies and updated the firmware twice, i am now on 2.3.5.

The phone seems much much faster than my pulse so i am very happy, and for this reason im wondering what are the benefits to me of rooting it and installing a custom rom? ive looked through some threads and theres alot of roms to choose from, and they confuse me with talks of pits etc.

i had rooted my pulse with custom roms flashed using clockwork mod, but this seems far more complicated. The phone seems fast enough for what i need it for, is there any point in rooting+flashing a custom rom?

edit: also as far as i can tell most of the custom roms use android 2.3.3/2.3.4? so wouldnt that be a step backwards?

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roundbelly:
Most roms uses JVT the newest gb. If you are satisfied with no root there's no need to root but if you want to do more with your phone go with root.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Rooting is essentially the equivalent of getting admin rights on your phone. Some apps may need root access (such as titanium backup), as they modify system files and so on.

Custom roms vary, they might simply be a package of tweaks/optimizations and themes, or a complete rework of the firmware (like CM).

If you're happy with everything there's no real need to do either
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
Hi, I use the half way method, I stick with stock odexed jvt as stock is the most reliable. I then use a custom kernel for speed. I use semaphore 1.8.2bm. i use themes to make it look better, and tweaks to make it run faster. I find this to be the best compromise. You need root to create a full backup, and apply many tweaks. You get root from custom kernels

Hello

I flashed a I9000 rom i made no problems, except buttons messed up as the kernel was for I9000, meant to change it before flash but didn't. I use a I9000 reorient kernel flashed it by CWM now my phone flashes the ATT screen then goes to Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen and sits there. I tried the recovery buttons hold 2 down and press power, same above happens. Tried the download mode via plug in hold 2 buttons on side and insert USB cable then battery no luck. Im hoping that the kernel was a GB and not Froyo, never really moded my phone with froyo so I dont think I used a froyo reorient kernel. any ideas, it's Sunday night and rat shack is closed for me to buy the 3 100K resistors to try a homemade jig. can try tomorrow afternoon after work. any other ideas

Thanks

Tony
[Captivate General] chappatti:
Yeah, 3-button method will not work. Before jigging, you can try the following. The following are from memory, so YMMV.

For Download, try Volume Down (ONLY) + Power. Keep holding till you see download mode.

Or try holding down vol + insert USB cable.

Or try same steps with up vol button.

Good luck !!

Thanks I got it finally in download mode have cappuccino gb bootloaders so after many tries and cables the hold down both buttons on side plug in USB cable in computer and phone and insert battery finally got it to work. Side note don't start a rom walk away and continue later that night without knowing where you left off I think that's what happened to me thought part was complete and it was not lesson learned the hard way

Hi,

It appears I can access my SMS messages without my passcode even though one is set. I am using the HTC launcher as I have a Desire HD. My phone is rooted and I am using a custom rom, with Sense 3.5. RCMix3D v4.0

My phone already is set up with a pattern to gain access to the messages. It appears that if I add the SMS widget (albeit this is the HTC one) I can see individual messages and access the threads without even inputting my pattern.

Have I completely missed something here, as there doesn't appear to be a way in which to protect my messages as someone who knew this flaw could just add a widget to gain access to my messages.

Thanks in advance.

Jason
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattix724:
Remove the widget from your lock screen...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason1978:
I do not have the widget on the lockscreen, it is just a widget on one of the screens.

If I have a pattern on my phone to gain access to my SMS message, and someone got hold of my phone, they could just add the HTC messages widget to a screen and then have access to all of the threads in my inbox without even needing to enter the pattern lock.

My point is here that the widget are able to get around the security feature... Its ok saying don't add the widget, my point is if someone else added the widget to gain access...
