indeed i have. ive read that the app "GPS Test" has a tool built in for calibrating the compass, but i cant seem to find it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
GPS status app has the calibrate compass ability. I haven't seen the option in GPS test.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjd80:
just tried that and had no luck, unfortunately. am i correct in thinking that it is just something weird with this modem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikRat:
I've found that just like a magnetic compass, being near large metallic objects (like a car), or near electronics (like computers or fluorescent lights) can sometimes affect the compass in my cappy.

Hi,

Since there isn't a subforum for the Samsung Galaxy Gio (GT-S5660) yet, I couldn't help but post here instead.

I've recently updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and unfortunately, my tun.ko module no longer works. I searched hours and tried dozens of different tun.ko files to get one working under 2.3.3. However, I cannot seem to find one that will work with my new kernel.

I've tried to compile it myself in linux using a couple of guides but always got stuck somewhere in the middle. Even tried to modify the file in a hex editor so that the kernel version checks out. Alas, to no avail.

I really need a VPN connection so I can connect to the network of my company. So if anyone would be so kind of compiling a tun.ko module for my specific kernel, I would be forever greatful.

My phone specs:

Samsung Galaxy Gio (GT-S5660)

Android 2.3.4

Buildnumber GINGERBREAD.XXKQG

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL561540 root@DELL81 #1

Thanks in advance

greetings,

I had the brilliant idea of flashing my droid 3, but now I'm stuck on a black screen:

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)

0A.40

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

I used RSD Lite to flash, but it just shows

Failed flashing process. 1/18 (...) result FAIL

I'm trying to update with CW, but it stuck after the 'press menu' page

someone knows how to unbrick my phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
if youre trying to update through CW, you shouldnt need to use RSD. Since you have used RSD, you need to make sure you have the correct SBF. Im not sure if the Milestone 3/??Model# has an SBF! You will need to sbf (with RSD) and (probably) clear cache (through recovery m+power)
[Motorola Droid 3] Godmik:
thank U vry much!

giving a try

as soon I get some results, I'll post here

my greatest THANKS!

after this little time and this little help I can yell:

now, I'll try to root again, install CW and restore my backup...

this whole confusion started because my droid was too slow.... (I guess it's because motoblur) and restore the backup will only help to mess up with my head again

[General Questions and Answers] 340DartMan:
I reposted this from the "General" forum

Every since I upgraded to AdFree 0.8.41, it is not working. I tried rebooting my phone (as the app states after upgrade), uninstalled, reinstalled AdFree, and rebooted, no help. Updated again after re installation, then tried rebooting again and no help.

This app worked after I initially installed it.

The host file (\system\etc\host) looked the same throughout the process. I thought about deleting my host file, then uninstalling and reinstalling AdFree, but wasn't sure if that was a good idea. :confused:

Is there something I need to do after the update to get it to work?

I have a rooted Bionic with stock ROM.

Thank you,

Tony
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Try Ad Away. It's better, in my opinion.

There are rumors that AdFree or whatever it's called is removing certain sites from the hosts file it creates. The sites that are removed of course have something to do with getting paid, if you know what I mean.

Of course this is purely rumor, but trying a different app might be worth a shot.

For apps that only use internet access for ads, like games, use Droidwall to block them from connecting completely.

[General Questions and Answers] 340DartMan:
GPS app

I downloaded GPS Status & Toolbox which gives Lat and Long. Not sure if this is what you are looking for. Look in the market under "GPS". There are a few other apps that might work. I looked at GPS Toolbox (didn't install). It might fit your needs.

Hope this helps. :)

I have decided to create this tread to have a complete index so to speak of all the MBN files that Mur4ik's Bootloader Builder Creates so heres the complete list ;)

Installation Instructions:

To Flash you need to make sure you have the correct size to flash the mbn file for example if you have a system size of 90Mb and never put applications on the system partition then the 100Mb to 284Mb mbn file will work on you phone i always follow this rule make sure the mbn file is atleast 10Mb higher than your current system partition for example if your system size is currently 120Mb flash the 130Mb Partiton MBN.

I have tested this and from my test i did not need to do factory reset for the partition changes to be accepted so just flash the file and all is well now how to flash it very easy just download the one you want and download the installer below and place your mbn file into the MBN folder once done that launch the install.bat and let it do its magic ;)

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mesaj:
180Mb : 204Mb is the optimal one, most ROMs will clearly fit (including SDSL, which is storage dependant) on your device without resizing in future, leaving you still a lot of space for your apps. I have this setup and its enough for having most important apps installed on internal storage for me.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] coto39:
Hey! @eoghan2t7

Your installer it's not working well... It can't find mbn files... To solve that problem you should replace the line:

files\fastboot flash APPSBL \MBN\*.mbn

for this other one:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] coto39:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] LeoPosas:
Ok here's the deal:

I want to resize to 200 MB, right now i've 138 MB internal memory, so, i've to flash 140 MB.mbn or can i flash 200 MB at one time without up memory every 10 MB?

What tool have to use for flash? MUR4IK Tool or this one of the thread?

Please Help! :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
I'm going to be updating my script for this to make a better automatically install the partition sizes you want ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] coto39:
If you read the text at the begin of the post you will see:

Installer:

http://www.mediafire.com/?dkggbt3f0eqniet

System Size : Data Size

100Mb : 284Mb

Blah blah blah

So, is pretty simple: To have 200mb in system partition you MUST to flash the file under "200Mb : 184Mb" label. XD
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] LeoPosas:
Haha, sorry but i know that, what I understood, was that if you had 130 MB in stock, you had to flash from 10 to 10, like he said in the thread. :P

Hi, I'm working on lg p350

how do you edit the appsboot.mbn file?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Ron G:
you can't edit appsboot.mbn to use on p350. you need to compile from source

this is source

https://github.com/mmxtrem/swift_lk_bootloader

to compile need to paste source on bootable/bootloader/lk

and then this command will give you

appsboot.mbn and appsboothd.mbn

mmm bootable/bootloader/lk

that can flash via this tool or LGMDP tool
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] cybojenix:
So for changing partition of p350 I would need to find these sources for p350, as the swift's appsboot.mbn is too different from ours.

then find out what part of the source needs changing to change the partition.

then compile, and pray it works?

Sorry never worked with sources before..
