[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomaka:
I have thought about new hack :

Select a default application for a given time only, then revert to open application selection (something like expire default application selection)

How to :

Replace "Use by default for this action." checkbox and text by a drop down list in the application section window (named : "complete action with"). The list could contain items like :

No default (no default app is set)

Remember for 10 minutes (set selected app as default for 10 minutes only, then revert to no default)

Remember for 30 minutes

Remember for 1 hour

Always use by default for this action (current behaviour available)

Sample use case :

Click a link in Gmail

Browser selection appears

Select "Remember for 30 minutes"

Tap "Opera Mini" (because you don't have 3G coverage where you are for instance)

Opera mini opens

Go back to Gmail, tap another link

Opera mini opens straight away (as the default app, no app selection window)

After 30 minutes, when the browser is triggered, the "Application selection" window appears again and you can chose stock browser for a while if you have better network coverage...

What do you think about that ? Has anyone seen that before? :confused:

If no, if a friendly developper could implement that, it would be awesome! :D

It would help a lot when juggling with different apps in different contexts lasting a given time.

Anyone interested in that hack ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomaka:
I have rephrased my idea realizing that it was not clear enough in my original post. Could some of you guys give me a feedback on that?

I think it could be really helpful especially with the different browsers avalaible and the various features they each offer.

Let me know, even if you think it's useless... :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnagecjb:
The closest thing I have ever found is Smart Browser Chooser.

It isn't exactly what you've suggested, but it lets you assign different browsers based on network connection.

I'm not a developer, but from what I can tell, in order to make something that works like you have suggested, the entire default action chooser would have to be replaced.

Or, as an alternative, a new "default action" program could be created, similar to Smart Browser Chooser, that would be the actual default you would choose for whatever context you want. When this program is ran, it would list the options in the way you have indicated. However, as far as I can see, this new program would have to be written specifically for each android context.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomaka:
Thanks for your answer!

This could do the trick, I'll try your app and see how it turns out. Though I suspect it's not as flexible as what I expected.

I would still fancy an overlying app on top of default app selection to achieve temporary default (excellent idea!). If anyone ever step by something like that, let me know :)

I bought a 1000ma car charger off ebay, but it only seems to charge my phone very very slowly. I know it will be using a lot of power as the gps, screen etc is running, but i do the same at home with a charger that I know works and the battery % still goes up.

I also bought a 1000ma official HTC mains charger off ebay and it doesnt seem to charge my phone at all. (I've got a refund for this charger).

Is there an app that tells me how much current my phone is drawing from its external power source? Then I can test a charger as soon as I buy it off ebay, and if it doesnt do as advertised ill ask for my money back straight away!

Or is there a way to do it manually? I have a multimeter.
[General Accessories] carnagecjb:
I also am very interested in this, as I have several car -> USB converters that do not state their output. It would be nice to know which one(s) are going to be the best for my usage.

I have a brother-in-law that is an EE, and I'll be seeing him this evening. I'll pick his brain and post back whatever I can find out...
[General Accessories] MintyApple:
You should be able to do it (somewhat) easily using your multimeter if you don't mind stripping a wire or two. You basically just connect the leads across some kind of load (you could try to leave it plugged into your phone, but may want to try something else) and then use the multimeter's probes to measure the current across the load.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Hi everyone,

Noob here, looking for some phone specific info. After extensive research I have not found exactly what I'm looking for thus the reason for this post. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for help finding the safest, simplest, most reliable way to root my 959v. I want to root so that I can a) delete preloaded browser bookmarks b) delete preloaded bloatware c) file share with my PC over WIFI (with Samba?) and d) block pop up ads (adfree). I need to be able to undo this in case of a warranty issue and I don't want to lose any of the function of the phone (i.e. front face camera, contacts sync, wifi).

Couple questions: Will factory reset take care of the bloatware and bookmarks?

Also, has anyone found a way to put a 4g toggle switch icon, like the power bar that comes with the phone, or do I need a new ROM to do this, and what does everyone recommend as for an O.S. / ROM. Thanks!

Firmware: 2.2.1

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build: FROYO.VUVKD1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
i would suggest you flash ravers odin kj6 rom. then flash drhonks kj1 kernel with odin too in order to root it. both go in pda section. then flash through cwm soma's simplysimple rom wich is debloated or just use titanium backup to remove bloat from your rooted stock kj6.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
I consider myself pretty technical but I don't completely understand Roms and kernels. By flashing a ROM, are you changing the OS and/or GUI? Does it overwrite the old OS or just make an amendment to it? Will any old Roms be left taking up useless space in memory? What about kernels? Thanks,,

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
Flashing a new rom is like re-installing windows on a PC. you need to backup your data before you flash.

The best way to root, is to either use ODIN to flash a new kernel that already had root (doesn't replace the whole rom), or use the latest superoneclick to root. Rooting does not erase your data. Then you can use a program like titanium backup to remove bloatware.

check out the dev form, and look for the bible thread, there are links to roms and guides on how to safely flash your phone. You are going to have to read up a bit to become familiar with how this phone works.

good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Normally, I follow FB's ext4 guide.

But since my phone has been UnBrickable Modded, I've made a kj6 Back-To-Stock One-Click. This oneclick will basically get your phone to where it would be if you got your phone new with kj6 preloaded. RaverX3X tested for me, so I know it works well. After you run the one-click, odin kj1 from drhonk or extract the zImage and Heimdall it to KERNEL and RECOVERY partitions.

If you run the One-Click a second time, you will also get the right bootloaders for GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
What if I have the KD1? What is all this KJ6/KJ1 about? Do I have to find and manually reinstall drivers for my device? Does a ROM need to be compatible with a Kernel or vice versa? How do I know what ROMS/Kernels will work with my device?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Well, KJ6 was just released (leaks and source).

KJ1 (kernel) was the last voodoo kernel that drhonk made.

There isn't a KJ6 voodoo kernel, yet.

KD1 is Froyo.

Drivers... If the drivers you have now work, then don't change them ;)

The roms and kernels we are all talking about will work with your device, because they are modified leaks for your device.

Just don't go off flashing stuff from other device forums. That is stupid.

You're basically safe if you mix froyo kernels with froyo roms, and gingerbread kernels with gingerbread roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Ok thanks a lot that I can understand. I'll need to brush up on differences between gingerbraed vs. froyo, and whether or not ice cream sandwich is going to be worth the headache. I'm actually happy with the stock rom, it's just that I hate bloatware, and any spy programs, and I want total control over my file access, wifi file sharing, bookmarks/etc. So really all I need to do is root the phone, I was thinking of superoneclick, but I'm not sure the device is supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
Okay. You NEED to READ. Really dont know if SuperOneClick works with our phone? Come on. Do some research first.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
There's a lot of techno jargon babble out there I'm trying to sort through, I'm not 100% literate on everything smartphone yet. When you flash a new kernel, say, KJ6, what happens to your applications? In a windows system they would stop working, but their data files would still exist. Are programs unchanged, do they leave useless data files, or can they somehow be reactivated, like the installer package and the data are in the same folder, just need a little help filling in the blanks Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
I know how you feel, but there is not "do it just like this and you will get this result," because development has been fast and furious, even a little ad hoc. The Bible is useful to a point, but in the end you are just going to have to read and cautiously test. If you stick with stock KJ6, your phone should work as intended. If you move to a custom ROM, some things may be buggy and other things may work even better than stock. For instance, battery life is improved via a couple roms I have tried, but wifi (dynamic dhcp) suffers. You just have to proceeed CAUTIOUSLY. Tha's the best advice I can offer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
If you are looking to JUST ROOT your SGS4G then I would recommend SuperOneClick. Version 2.2 worked for me running stock 2.3.6.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
I'm rooting my phone as we speak using superoneclick 1.6.5 shortfuse. I enabled usb debugging, download samsung drivers to pc, installed drivers to pc, then started superoneclick and plugged in the phone. Clicked rageagainstthecage, "ROOT", then after about 10 minutes my girlfriend called me, which I had to answer, only to find out that she was breaking up with me, then it got to the part where it says "running rageagainstthecage" and now it's basically frozen after 30 minutes, superoneclick icon saying "(Not Responding)" Great...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Update: No combination of rebooting and rageagainstthecage was compatible with my device/os/version of superoneclick. I used SuperOneClick 1.6.5, my OS is stock 2.2 froyo, and the with usb debugging enabled, it froze every time. Using psneuter, it worked ok, the superuser icon is there... so, for a test. I went to the browser, still cannot delete those annoying bookmarks. Ok, so now to try and delete some bloatware.... still cannot delete any factory installed programs. So, that seems a bit pointless, I'm going to play with wifi filesharing, file explorer, and see what I can access, will report back.

My ultimate goal is to have a fast as **** phone, complete functionality, no bloatware, all custom apps, I want to be able to shortucut ANYTHING to the desktop, especially a 4g toggle switch. How close am I? So far the phone runs a lot slower than before I rooted.

<< Another wierd glitch, when I went to the market without rebooting the phone first, the screen went black, it vibrated in sets of 3 pulses, and I had to hard power down to reset. Went back to market and problem did not reoccur>>
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Ok so I installed Titanium Backup, umm yay now for some fun, started deleting everything that didn't look familiar including those pesky sec.android.acore.blahblahblah and now my phone does that 3 vibe thing and I have to reboot. Ok so next chore is reflashing the rom I guess....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
Glad you got it working... ummm, sort of?

From what I understand about where you are, I would

1. Use odin 1.8.5 to flash KJ6 stock.

2. Let it reboot and do its thing for a bit (say, 5 minutes?)

3. Check to see if everything is working, stock--4g, wifi, browser, market etc.

4. Use SuperOneClick 2.2 (after setting usb debug in settings-->applications) to root. May take a few tense minutes, but it works. Least it did for me.

5. Load your titanium and uninstall stock apps as you desire.

6. Get a full charge and calibrate your battery.

7. Lust after the roms (especially the great looking 2.3.5 based one by Raverx3x) that require CWM, but cry over your fear of a no-stock recovery.

Should get you where you want to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Well, I'm officially the master of this sheeet box. DAAAAANG SKIIPPPY FOLKS I had a soft brick condition, didn't know what the f to do, started getting lost on google and good old you tube led me home, can you believe I was bout to cut my usb wire to make a jig no no no not necessary, just hold both volume button and plug in usb, it goes to download mode. Next I couldn't get odin to recognize the phone but eventually went straight to pc (not through my usb hub) and it popped up, I flased the zip of the closest thing I could find to my stock 2.2 froyo, now I have KB5, kernel 2.6.32.9 wtf wow it almost the same but noticeably different, the settings menu is different, it came pre-rooted, but video skype works perfectly and on front facing camera booyah

been fun fellas talk again soon
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
I am glad you are where you want to be, but DUDE! I assumed you knew how to get into download mode up vol+down vol+plug in usb. Jeeez! That's frickin' basic! Anyway, glad you're sailing. You should be able to Odin 2.3.6 and root it with SuperOneClick 2.2 now, if you want. I am still trying to get upo the nerve to load CWM and try Raverx3x's Octane. It's a downgrade from 2.3.6, but the screenshots look tasty!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
Really wtf. Download phone drivers, Odin program, Ravers Odin Kj6 ROM and drhonk KJ1 kernel. You need nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
SOC 2.x

How many times and in how many (slightly) different ways can one say the same damn thing? If he has flashed KJ6 already and wants to keep that kernel, then I still say SuperOneClick 2.2 will root his device. Am I wrong? Why do people keep using SOC 1.x then complain about not getting it to root their gb 2.3.6 successfully?

SOC 2.x...use it!

http://shortfuse.org/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
I'm not a fan of SOC. I fear a call entering or something. :) Been there, been bricked. While with Odin the phone is kinda off and its already opened. SOC is just for root... I can do that and many more with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
Rooting with Odin

I can use Odin 1.85 to root also? Cool. :cool:

When I'm a novice I follow instructions from experimenters, and I didn't find anyone using Odin to root GB. The modal alternative appears to be install Drhonks KJ1 kernel, then superoneclick. Next time I need to root I will try Odin and save an app switch.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Super one click worked for me but I did get a call during and it did lock it up, especially not knowing whether to choose "psneuters" or "rageagainstthecage". Rage would freeze every time no matter what. Eventually I switched to psen and it worked.

Where do I find Raven's KJ6 and KJ1 Kernel?

What is the best battery calibrater and how does one use it?

Will a factory reset restore my 2.2 build?

Where can I find a 2.2 stock froyo rom/kernel if not?

Hi Guys,

I am not sure if this exists on the forums but I am unable to find a solution.

I am trying to boot into my CWM. When I reboot and hit the power and volume up button it takes me to the Motorola flash tool. If I reboot with the power button and volume down it takes me to system recovery. I somehow got it into CWM but have no idea what I pressed.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have tried volume down. that is when I get the "android system recovery utility" and not CWM
[Defy General] Monzer_:
hey boswald did u solve ur problem ? and how please? coz i think im having the same problem once i install 2ndInit it says success but i never get into CWM and my phone keep rebooting on Motorola Logo and i have to flash again !.
[Defy General] boswald:
Hey,

I landed up re-flashing. I then installed the new bootmenu and CWM (5). I then installed Sndinit and managed to get into the custom recovery where I installed CM9 and the google apps.

When I now hit the reboot in CM9 I have the option to go into recovery from there.

I did read somewhere though that when the little light goes blue to hit the down arrow and that is suppose to take you into the custom recovery. That worked for me afterwards but not sure if it was because I re-flashed and installed again.

Hope that helps.
