[General Questions and Answers] guido.minciotti:
Hello everyone!

As you can see I am a noobie and I hope I am doing the right thing to start a new thread. I searched the previous posts but couldn't find any related topic.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7", GT-P1000XXJPZ, Gingerbread 2.3.3, Kernel 2.6.35.7 se.infra@SEP-52 #2, Build GINGERBREAD.XX1Q1, rooted with Odin, installed CWM, Superuser and Terminal Emulator. I have then deleted many system apps but NOT the phone.apk nor any phone related system apps.

Everything worked perfectly but then suddenly one morning the GTab started showing a popup notice after ending every phone call reporting an error in com.android.phone process and the only option is to Force Close it.

After this the app restarts and I'm able to make and take phone calls, but the bluetooth earpiece does not connect anymore until I reboot the Tab.

Everything else works perfectly and the Tab is now flying with 259MB of free memory.

I even tried wiping everything and restore factory settings but no luck...

So, the questions are:

1. Is the phone.apk corrupted somehow or is there another explanation?

2. Can I replace it with a new one (if so, how is it done and where can I find a new phone.apk app?)

3. Am a a real idiot for screwing up my phone for good? :confused:

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated...

Many thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
1. Probably deleted something that the phone.apk needed

2. As the phone apk is not missing replacing it won't help, you would need to restore the file you should not have deleted (first you would need to know which one though)

3. Not at all, maybe a bit overzealous. A factory reset won't restore deleted system apps, it just sets everything to default. Where would i take the deleted apps from anyways?

You could restore deleted system apps by extracting them from a ROM, or just flash a new ROM with ODIN or CWM.
[General Questions and Answers] guido.minciotti:
Hi Dark3n,

Thank you for your really quick reply.

Could you advise where I can find a ROM suitable for my GTab?

Secondly, what would be the right procedure to flash this ROM?

Would it be from the CWM Recovery boot?

Thank you for your help, really appreciate it!

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Hm just google for your current version i suppose "GT-P1000XXJPZ", "XXJPZ" is the version, GT-P1000 your device.

What procedure you use depends on the file type of the rom you found.
[General Questions and Answers] guido.minciotti:
Thanks!

I have found a ROM which seems to be the one for my GTab.

It came as a tar file.

File name is P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000JPZ_HOME.tar

I tried Flashing it through CWM amp but the device simply reboots and nothing happens. Is there a particular procedure to follow?

Sorry to bother you so much but it seems you've got a lot more knowledge about this...

And thank you for your patience too!

:-)
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
CWM doesn't flash TAR files.

It is most likely to be used with ODIN or HEIMDALL software.

There most likely was a description on the procedure, where you got the file from.
[General Questions and Answers] guido.minciotti:
Thanks so much!!

Will give it a try and report back...

:-)
[General Questions and Answers] guido.minciotti:
Hey Dark3n,

It worked!! Thanks so much for helping me on this one!

I flashed it with Odin and it was OK in a few minutes.

So glad to have my GTab back on track!!

I really owe you one.

Thanks so much.

Guido

I'm happy to hear that.

Enjoy your stay on XDA.

Try to keep up your posting style, it will do you alot of good :-).

*looks at the other threads in Q&A*...

Bad or no thread titles, not even one sentence of description or gruesome english making one doubt his ability to read...

PPL if you read this, the best way to get good and fast answers, is to make a GOOD THREAD! Why should someone bother to invest time to answer, if the thread starter didn't invest any time :confused:

The background is black and the text is dark grey. Cant see it in daylight. How do i make the background white and text black like normal people would want the app to function.

How could a company think this is acceptable? Really!!!!

You should joing Microsoft and Apple and sue Google over patent infrigement and email readability, just saying ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gunflight:
First things first! Your a moron. This is a Samsung issue not a Google or apple issue. I have owned over 20 android devices since the OS debut because as of now Android is the way to go for phone customization. If i could stand apple products i would probably own an iphone. Up until Windows Mobile 6.5 nothing could beat a windows MOBILE phone for customization. Then microsoft made there own version of the iphone and called it windows phone. For right now though Android is where its at. Im a technology whore. I will jump for cell phone company and OS/device manufacturer as the best become available. As for you fanboy the first thing that pops into you little brain is patent lawsuits. I asked a question and you dont have an answer. Thanks,

Did you guys receive 2.3.5 and sense 3 update?
[HTC Incredible S] lerx:
Sry but I am currently s-off and using custom rom so I don't know, but I hope there is the ota update when I want to change back to stock rom :cool:

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

But from what I heard, there is no ota update for Singapore yet :'(
[HTC Incredible S] abul06sg:
Thanks for your promt response! I'm also waiting for update.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
Same here.
[HTC Incredible S] key2gb:
I've had the phone since May - it's great. Running CM 7.1 with tiamat kernel - it's extremely stable even at 1.5MHz

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Just curious - why would you want to go back to stock ROM?
[HTC Incredible S] lerx:
Because It's official?
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
Agreed... Like it or not... Official roms always perform better than ports and are much more stable...
[HTC Incredible S] Jawker:
I've been using the phone for the past one month and I'm still reading up about rooting the phone. Still can't decide if I want to root it since it voids the warranty.

Shall wait for the OTA update for 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 first. Still no news about it for Singapore?
[HTC Incredible S] abul06sg:
You may wait for few more days. HTC has informed me via e-mail to have update within December.
[HTC Incredible S] Jawker:
Thanks. Looking forward to the update. Might decide to root my phone after that though.
[HTC Incredible S] EvrStngNevDwn:
Not SG user, but bought ph from SG

Now stuck at 2.3.3 :(

HTC CS said update will come in December

But rumor said it will be 2012 FEB

Sure to root if it is not in DEC

Looking forward
[HTC Incredible S] abul06sg:
If this is the case, we have to say HTC is playing double game with us. They are doing something different than their commitment and igonoring whole Asia.
[HTC Incredible S] closemyeyes:
i am from singapore too =D but haven heard any news on update htc sense 3.0 here yet
[HTC Incredible S] Jawker:
4 days to the end of december!

anyway a question, if i were to decide to root my phone, does it matter if i ignore all future OTA official updates and jus stick with updates from CyanogenMod?
[HTC Incredible S] abul06sg:
I just had the official OTA update to 2.3.5 and sense 3.0.
[HTC Incredible S] EvrStngNevDwn:
After clicking "Check Now" thousand time, i got it.still dling though

I hope all others would get the same

i think we are the last among in IS.. LOL

thanks HTC
[HTC Incredible S] lerx:
Are you serious that the sense 3.0 ota update came up to singpore already?! how's the update? :D
[HTC Incredible S] Jawker:
Yes, updating my phone now as of writing.
[HTC Incredible S] abul06sg:
Update has hit Singapore today. Sense 3.0 is not doubt good! However, I'm experiencing faster battery drains out vs. sense 2.1

Wow. Thats terrible :P

[HTC Incredible S] lerx:
So the OTA update sucks?
[HTC Incredible S] EvrStngNevDwn:
Here are the few things i noticed so far

UI is Great! very eyecandy lock screens/weather widgets and home screen.

Battery is just as usual

Built in "Videos" app is hiding in "Connected Media"

New "Watch" app

New Task Manager

I think there are small changes in each built-in Apps

For me, it's good to have it

Cheers
[HTC Incredible S] lerx:
Ok thanks for your opinion! Still deciding whether to stay in custom rom or upgrade to ota ???
[HTC Incredible S] Jawker:
have been on the OTA update for 3 days already and i'm already very impressed.
[HTC Incredible S] abul06sg:
My observations are, no significant improvement only except sense 3.0 enhancement. Still having persisting issues of signal and mobile reachability with new version of radios.
[HTC Incredible S] braisedible:
Hm...I'll stick to Android Revolution 2.1.2 for now. Better radio, reception and SMS send/receive.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Hey guys . I'm actually been sticking around here for a long time. I'm from Singapore. Just a little surprise that someone just opened a thread about Singapore an users .

Haha.

Currently running on Android Revolution HD 2.1.2. Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0.

Super stable and i can say it's even much stable than stock . battery life longer also.

Dont worry about warranty. I had a power button problem and I UN-ROOTED it(S-ON) and I dial the number for htc to come collect phone from me and it was repaired and sent back with the latest hboot. I downgraded it again and s-off again :)

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

I wonder why you guys still stick to Official updates when you're in the heaven of custom roms. FYI Incredible S is a model that has one of the most mods here.

If you're looking for best stability and battery (Android Revolution HD 2.1.2)

Fancy widgets + animation + beats audio (Nik Trinity Sensation XL v2.5)

But imho both roms are good because they are sense-based rom.

But so far the one with the best battery is CyanogenMod7.1 with tiamat 1.1.4 kernel :)

I changed to ARHD 2.1.2 because of the GPU rendering , it actually loads my youtube videos on mobilie network faster by a lot . I'm using Singtel :)

Cheers

James

Agree with that! Mind sending me the link for custom mods / themes? I need the circular battery thing :)

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

You haven't seen the world of ROMS :) . S-OFF it and I assure you , you will totally take back your words saying that you're impressed with the OTA official update. LOL:D:D:D:D
[HTC Incredible S] hulk691:
Hi fellow Singaporean User.

I'm using [Sense 3.5] Energy™ RCMix 4.0 Energized BLUE Edition for the past few days and have no problems.

I agree with Luck515.

"Why you guys still stick to Official updates when you're in the heaven of custom roms."

Cannot wait for ICS to be fully developed that we can use it as a daily rom.
[HTC Incredible S] lerx:
Still staying in custom rom :)

wow thanks for the detailed explanation, I guess I will be rooting my phone really soon!

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimmerz0823:
Ok guys looking for some feedback now all u owners of the atrix 2 is it a better phone than my atrix 1 I've owned many android and iphonez but by far this atrix blows them out if the water just curious if this atrix 2 is really an upgrade
[Motorola Atrix 2] mathk:
unless you really don't satisfy with your Atrix (1) , otherwise you don't need this "half-generation" upgrade.
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Bigger and better screen is the only major upgrade between the two.

I hated the pentile rgbw screen after a month.

If you haven't noticed it, you probably shouldn't worry about getting the A2. Everything else is relatively comparable.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
Like the last guy said, if you are satisfied with the Atrix, then this is not a good upgrade. There are several advantages I see over the Atrix.

1. The screen is looks better. Colors look less washed out without Pentile Matrix

2. I get better battery life with the Atrix 2 than I did with the Atrix. Not a huge difference, but better.

I get faster consistent data speeds on the Atrix 2, sometime two times as fast as the Atrix.

3. The Atrix 2 looks better and is similar in size (not much bigger)

Here are reasons not to upgrade.

1. There is more development support at this time for the Atrix.

2. There are more games available for the Atrix, without using Chainfire.

3 Fingerprint scanner if you use it.

Hope this helps you out. This is solely based on my experience with both phones. If I hadn't lost my Atrix, I would not have gotten the Atrix 2, but I do not regret getting it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] big ach:
Atrix has a Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual Core Processor

Atrix 2 has a Texas Instruments OMAP4 Dual Core Processor
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
If you like to play tegra games stick with Atrix :P I'm using CF3d on my A2 and some games just doesn't work right like the GTAIII :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Pretty much sums it up as I have both myself all except the fingerprint scanner as I never used it. If you are into hacking stick with the OG Atrix if not the take a shot on the Atrix2.

Give this phone some development and it WILL be a beast also I believe. It will come around sooner or later. Things didnt happen overnight with the OG Atrix either ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
You're not going to want to upgrade until you try out the A2.

The only cons for me are that I'm stuck drooling at all the great ROMs for the OG Atrix, and no Gameloft games. Although some people have successfully used Chainfire 3D with the A2.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] hettar:
It is excellent

Finally decided to give this a go, since I'm on leave and have the time to mess around with my phone. I am so not sorry, this ROM flies compared to the previous gingerbread rom I had. Not only that but ICS is so much nicer than GB.

As soon as wifi tethering is working properly this rom will be perfect for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kiantrel:
You have to find it our for yourself, for me its a lot better, ICS is just beatiful, and the feel of the phone really improves with onecosmic's port, give it a go, you can always do a nandroid backup and go back to CM 7.1

Onecosmic's ICS RC1 - Areas for improvements

Haven't read through the entire forum but these are areas for improvements i noted:

~image editor: face glow and face tan not working (FC)

~messaging: attachment > capture video not working

~video app: silly effects not working (FC)

~contacts: can not sync facebook and yahoo contacts

~camera: number of features from gingerbread are missing (but panorama is better)

~display brightness: not properly tuned brightness steps

~applications: taptap revenge 4 = runs but homescreen is oversize and actual game display is 25% of the screen and not playable ("viewport argument value "0" for key "use-scalable" was truncated to its numeric prefix", etc.). Not sure if this is ICS config related bug or application compatability issue.

~missing usb connectivity opiton

~missing voice recorder

~missing FM applications

Please provided here the links for any existing fixes of the above. thanks

FM radio working if you use "Spirit FM Free" and set it as it is writed ealier

sec. charging works anyway just use charger( mine works both metods usb cable and charger)... no prob if you want use charger.... use other kernels like glitch v14 and above.

For this problems i synced sim contacts with gmail when i was on froyo(so im not using sim from a long time)

but on the market is app named Sim contacts try it

sec pssibility is to use Contacts apk from this rom and in its menu is import/export -> import from sim

It seems we can import contacts from sim card really, but we can't make a new one to save on sim card.

HI everyone,

This is the first time for me posting a thread here...thanks in advance.

Well I have a HTC HD2 that is a friends of mines. He was trying to change the radio so it could work in another country and managed to brick the phone. He got tired of trying to fix the phone so he gave it to me. I have tried fixing it with a tool kit I downloaded in another thread here. I managed to get it to boot butt it wouldn't get past T-Mobile screen...I kept on messing with it trying to install a ROM and different radios but non will work and wont turn on anymore but still is able to be recognize but PC(not mobile media center) and the last thing I did was task29. It stopped at 99%...still can load bootloader 3 colors but having a harder time getting the phone recognize by PC. Can anyone help me before I get into a deeper hole? If your need any more detail please ask me...btw the phone is running SPL- 3.03 HSPL in boot loader.
[HD2 General] aaki_rocker:
to the rescue !!

your friend shouldnt have flashed the radio without proper info !!

radio is the only thing which bricks the device !!!

dont worry we'll try to sort something out !!

firstly start with flashing a proper radio !!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787

download the radio 2.15.50.14 from this thread and flash it !!

NOTE : if you cant flash radio from ur pc, via nbh installer or the toolkit, you can flash it from a memory card !!

just format a normal memory card, put the radio on the card, rename the radio file to LEOIMG.nbh and get to the bootloader screen !!

follow the instructions from there and flash the radio !!

:D

secondly if you want android or wp7-7.5 on ur device !! hspl 3.03 wont work !!

so install hspl 2.08 for that !!

for winmo6.5 3.03 is ok !!

do a task 29 once and flash any rom or magldr(for android or wp7-7.5)!!

good luck ..... :)
