[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
I don't think it's necessary. If devs would put exactly what it is in the header without unnecessary embellishments that would suffice. I look at the International SGS2 forums and they have numerous builds and Roms and seem to do just fine.

One sticky containing all the radios (modems), one sticky containing all the kernels and all that's pretty much left are Roms. If devs are mandated to put the version number in their thread title as well as their descriptions, subforums really aren't necessary.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
If it was up to me and I was XDA's forum webcoder. There would be off-topic, Theme's, Apps as individual sub-forums in every Phone Community.

Secondly. Under Development I would give the Mod's Power to Create Sub category's for each "build leak/release." and have MIUI,CM and AOSP in one category.

Keep in mind you would be able to post in Development section still like now. Just there would be child forums for it. (kinda hard to explain.)

Lastly. Just like how we have "Announcement" that's displayed in every freakin sections we browse. Each community would have a chat box that is displayed on right column (like facebook) to act as a IRC chat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
I'm not for this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
I remember the OG Epic battle for child forums... wasnt it QnA that we argued for forever...? I guess they figure of they put in more work on one forum, word will get out and they will have to do it for every device. Its too bad we cant have mods that are dedicated (i.e. they own and mainly use) to each device... but I understand its all volunteer etc...

I just hope that the build leaks dont turn into the OG Epic... new leak every 5 minutes so the devs end up waiting for some 'final' version... I say if theres no significant change skip it... and keep supporting what works till something truly different comes along.

EDIT: Also... love the embedded irc... seems a lot of the devs hang out in irc and nothing gets posted in the threads. It was really cool on the OG Epic when we could read and participate in the conversations, but not have to be in a chatroom... im blue collar... cant be on the interwebs all day. I know it works for the devs though... so oh well I guess...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Yeah its pretty hard to just conversiate these days on et4g threads.

Hi all! :) My request is because of my ignorance...

Can someone post a odexed version of the contacts.apk (attached) to be used in GingerXperia v19? GX V19 is odexed and i can't simply do the classic copy+permissions like in a normal ROM (it didn't work) :(

thanks in advance!!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] EgyptianBoi:
Hi,

I have a g2x and i recently rooted it using superoneclick and i tried to back up using nvflash

however when i boot into recovery and try to install a zip or do anything with an sdcard, it says cant mount sdcard.

i ended up installing cyanogenmod 7 using rom manager.

but at the moment i cant do anything that involves using the sdcard because it cant mount.

any ideas on how to fix this?

thanks in advance :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
When you're in recovery, have you simply tried taking out the memory card then putting it back in?

Sometimes the simplest solutions work. It used to not mount my sd card too and just popping it out and back in made it read it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EgyptianBoi:
Thanks ill try it and let you know but how come nothing ever gets loaded onto the phones internal sdcard I still have the 5 gigs that I initially had and nothing is ever loaded onto it including the apps I download, any way I can change this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
It's the way they memory is partitioned. ~3 GB for the System and Apps, 5GB for other stuff. There's a workaround/fix for CM7 in the development forum (atleast I think there was) but I don't know if it works anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EgyptianBoi:
Right now if I go to storage in settings I have my SD card then I have internal storage with 1.48 gigs and then I have additional storage /mnt/emmc which has 5.21 gigs. At the moment apps installed from the android market go to the internal storage and apps online go to the SD card but I can move them to the internal memory. It seems that at the moment the one place with the most memory can't be used so I'm guessing thats the partition your talking about

o there's no way of changing this partition?

And can you give me the link to that? Thanks :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EgyptianBoi:
Yaay got the SD card working in recovery it worked taking it out and putting it in again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
You're right, I don't believe it can be used (natively for apps atleast, you can always move media and files there). Unless you mount that internal partition to be the external SD card and do a Move to SD on the apps (both are settings in Android/CM7 somewhere) there's not much else you can do. The problem is that some apps don't work on the SD, of course you could keep those on the system partition.

Sorry if my replies are starting to get confusing, it's late here. :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
I use link2sd which creates a mount point script that uses the extra partition on external sdcard. I used minitool partitioned to create a 10gb ext4 on my 32gb class 10( I'm an app junkie lol). Most if not all apps/games moved with link2sd work flawlessly, I'm happy with it :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EgyptianBoi:
thanks i think i managed to get it! i found the settings i think you're talking about in the cyanogenmod settings and managed to switch the sdcard and additional storage. now the 5 gigs appears as the sdcard and the actual external microsd appears as the additional storage

i guess thats the best im gonna get

thanks a lot!! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EgyptianBoi:
thanks ill try it and see how it workds

ya i thought i had everything working but now for some reason, my phone says it cant mount the system. any ideas why?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delano.888:
And yes, I searched, big time, but can't find it.

For ADW EX, I have 2 questions.

I downloaded a different language from here:

http://crowdin.net/project/adw-launcher-ex

-What do I do with the arrays.xml and strings.xml? I figured I have to replace them somewhere, but I cannot find them on my device.

-Also, did the option to change bin position disappear? I might be getting blind, but I really cannot find it anymore. I know for sure there was an option somewhere to change or remove bin position..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delano.888:

I checked 20 times but really can't find it. Please check yours and post the steps here if you find it?

I think it disappeared with an update though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
OK with the new update theboption was removed with the new layout. For the second you need to recompile it to find those files. The are bundled in the resourses file in the apk that can only be edited by decompiling it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delano.888:
Ok so bin option is removed. Good to know.

Now WHAT THE *** do you mean with all that. I really have no clue. Could you please explain the language thing for a noob?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It means you would need to use apktool to recompile the apk, swap the files out, recompile and then sign and install.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delano.888:
Okay, I bought it so I don't have the APK. Anyway. I wait till there is some easier official way at some point. Thanks anyway!

[Android Apps and Games] djice000:
Ok so Microsoft decided to release an official Xbox live app for ios (which bearing in mind is only around 10% of the phone market!) Surely it would make more sense to release an official app for android which covers around 70% of the phone market! Their reasons for doing this are completely unknown but it just makes me feel a bit left out. Don't get me wrong I love android to bits! But ios seems to be getting better apps. I don't want to cause a brawl these are just my views, and my views ONLY! please express how you feel. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
In which world iOS is only 10% of the market? Anyway, reading somewhere a nice''why'' there isn't any Xbox Live app is due market share. Microsoft os ''calling'' Android users to WP7.

[Android Apps and Games] djice000:
Because apple have only released one type of phone....iPhone, and android is on samsungs, htc's, zte's, lg's, Motorola's so I think 10% is accurate enough or close to....
[Android Apps and Games] djice000:
Sorry ios accounts for 17.25% of the phone market, but android is nestled comfortably at around the 70% mark....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] neuropass:
Here's the thing. As usual it seems to be an organization issue here between major brands and models so after looking around for hours I'm still not able to figure out what is going on here.

I bought a Samsung galaxy S II LTE SGHI727R from Rogers Canada.

Is there a European ROM available for it? i want to debrand it and remove bloatware I guess.

Will the Samsung Skyrock ROM work on it ok?

Some good info on this matter would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] galaxys2Tav:
I think the easyest thing to do is go on the samsware website choose a reagion u want it from and flash it. I had a problem upgradeing my phone with loads of crappy bloatware. So I just flashed stock europe firmware to it. Just dont choose a network provider firmware but it does explain it easly enough

[T-Mobile LG G2x] llxxjinxxll:
I found something interesting about the G2X, i'm running CM7 nightly #201

If you place a magnet near the battery door the phone will automatically launch Car Mode. I would wager to say that its for a possible car dock that was maybe never released and that it does this by using the magnetometer (Compass). I don't know if this is a feature of the G2X or CM7 I have not tried this on any other rom. I have tried it on my friend's various other android devices (Droid 2, Bionic) (all running stock) they don't exhibit this behavior.

link to the video

http://youtu.be/P0ayzgq7LdU

Thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
I want to say you're correct about it being some feature for a dock. I doubt the magnet would just make it run a random program, has to be intentional.

I had a phone that would auto unlock if it got near a magnet which was dumb for me because my pouch had a magnet, and had to cut it out.

Pretty neat though, maybe you can somehow change what launches when it feels a magnet? Like a magnet in your car, it could auto-run a music app or Google maps :p.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
Yes, the G2x has a magnetic switch that is designed to be activated by a magnet when placed into a compatible car dock. Lots of people have run into that when using a case with a magnetic closure; depending on where the magnet is located in the case, it can accidentally put the phone into car mode. It's pretty common; there are actually some applications in the market (Dock No-Op, for example) that are specifically intended to circumvent this behavior.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Here is something more interesting, get a stronger magnet and pass it through the hard drives on your pc, it will start car mode also!

NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
technically, the only magnets powerful enough to	scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by	government agencies to wipe bits off media.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] silencethenoise:
They _did_ release a car dock. And a desktop dock. I bought them from my local T-Mobile store the week they put them out on shelves. Using an embedded magnet to enable dock functionality is pretty common among manufacturers.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] abw1987:
Hey everyone -

Just got my RAZR on Friday. Love the phone so far. Just wondering if anyone else experiences a lot of choppiness when pinching-to-zoom and panning around on images. This is not just limited to photos, or to high-resolution images. I tried loading some really small images onto my phone and even those are really choppy to manipulate.

I can't imagine this is a hardware issue, considering that this is a high-end phone. My old Droid Pro had a worse processor and had no trouble zooming/panning images smoothly.

Also, I'm not sure whether this is related, but when I am zoomed into an image, sometimes it will pan at what seems like twice the speed I am moving my finger across the screen. So if I swipe from right to left, it will end up panning two "screens-worth" to the left, if that makes sense.

Any thoughts?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greenjeans:
Yeah, it's Moto's crappy gallery app. I recommend quickpic, but there are others.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abw1987:
Thanks for the response. I figured it was some software issue, but it's strange that it would just be due to Motorola's Gallery app, since the Gallery App on my Droid Pro (which also had Blur and everything) performed very well. It's crazy that they'd release a phone with something so unnerving.

Anyway, this Quickpic app is fantastic. Very simple and quick. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll use this going forward.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheaterbug:
I too experience choppy zooming. Hope it gets fixed when ICS comes out though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
I have a new Tmobile Samsung Galaxy s 4g. When GB came out I updated through Kies air. I rooted it with superoneclick.

I got annoyed with the short text problem, and using Odin put KJ1 modem on. That fixed the texts, but GPS stopped working. So I put KJ6 modem back, and GPS still didn't work. I then used Odin to flash the stock official 2.3.6 ROM and GPS still didn't work.

So I used Odin and put a new root Kernel Voodoo KJ1 on, then used CWM to put Valhalla by whitehawkx on it (Valhalla Final [KJ6 Based][Happy Holidays][12.12.2011]). I followed his instructions to the letter including the factor resets and waiting periods.

So it's running fine with Valhalla, except I still have no GPS! Maps and other location services always say location is unavailable. I downloaded GPS Aids and it can't load the XTRA file, and it shows communications with no GPS satellites.

It all went wrong when I first put that older modem on. Like I said I've since put the KJ6 modem back in and done all sorts of contortions with the ROMs and GPS has never come back since that first time.

Here's my about:

Model: SGH-T959V

Firmware: 2.3.6

Baseband: T959VUKJ6

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694130

bryan@flambe #10

Sat Dec 10 22:34:33 PST 2011

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6

Mod version: Valhalla-FINAL

Please, what can I do to get my GPS back?? I don't even care if it's running stock, I'd rather have stock Tmobile 2.3.6 with GPS working than anything modded or even root. I need GPS!!

Is my only option to flash stock GB 2.3.6 back on and take it back to Tmobile for Warranty? It's only a few weeks old. Or is there something I can do to get GPS working again?

Edit: Just for the heck of it, I again flashed the KJ6 modem on using Odin (yes, I clicked Phone) it zipped modem.bin on, I rebooted- and no GPS. Please, someone help me reset the GPS!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
GPS Aids has a "hard reset" feature. I'd suggest doing a full backup then using that option. No guarantee but it may help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Is that only in the paid version? I don't see it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
It's not...hang on, lemme look...

Click "Allow" if prompted by Superuser

Click Finish

Click "Codes.....tools"

Scroll down (no scroll bar, so it's not obvious) and it's just above Factory Data Reset
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Thanks, I just tried it. Figure can't break it anymore than it already is. I'm already back on stock 2.3.6 rooted just to remove extra variables. Rebooting now....Wow it cleaned out ALL the modem settings, had to re-register on Tmobile.

OMG THAT DID IT!

I could kiss you. I'm gonna go donate to the maker of GPS Aids right now. Damn I wish I'd done that before I wiped CWM/Valhalla. Oh well :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Awesome man, glad you got it working. I'm sure the guy that programmed GPS Aids will be more than happy to know his product helped someone.

Take it easy :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
wierd. It worked once. So I went and paid for the app. Ran the GPS Doctor thing, told it to Fix Everything, and now GPS doesn't work again.

*sigh*
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Doing hard reset again, then not gonna touch GPS Aid if it works.

Each time I do the hard reset, I see something like "Appling CSC" then an error about can't find /system/csc or something similar. I wonder if that's related.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I think I saw the same message on mine when I did the hard reset. I had my phone really b0rked at that point, too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Broken again. I guess there's something in my Titanium Backup which hoses GPS. I've been restoring after the hard reset and I think the GPS breaks after that. Or I'll just start all over again setting things up. I need my contacts and calendar, supposedly they are sync'd to Google, how do I just sign into that after the hard reset?

ok time to do the hard reset and I'll try to take a picture of the csc error. Wierd that typo "appling" instead of "applying". And I wonder what that csc thing is it can't find...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Solved. Something in my Titanium Backup for sure. I'm just putting apps back one at a time. As far as sync, once I enter my credentials for the app store it automatically started to sync everything else. Did have to re-connect to Tmobile in the APN settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Replying to myself here..not so much solved I guess. I updated some of the builtin apps from the market, I restored a bunch of normal apps using titanium backup, checking GPS each time. I didn't use Titanium Backup to restore any system level stuff, just apps and data. Then I studied for a while, came back, and no GPS again. Somewhere I'm debloating something critical for system function inadvertently, or moving something to the SD card that should remain on internal storage. I can't figure out what! Time to hard reset and start over for the fourth time. I wish there were a less time-consuming way to troubleshoot this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
How long have you let it alone after a hard reset before you start restoring anything? I ask because it's possible that it's dying on it's own after a period of time. Maybe hard reset it, leave it for an hour or so, then check the GPS and see if it's functioning. That way you only waste an hour and you're not going through the tedious task of 1x1 restores.
