Well, CM or any other custom ROM is not being developed for this phone even though a group has expressed interest if we can get them a device but the problem is that it has been weeks and no mod or trustworthy person has stepped up to start the donation drive so right now all development if any is at a standstill as far as I know.

[Atrix 4G General] Alaq:
Hey guys, my Webtops running pretty slow, even the Youtube videos have gotten very choppy. I'm also looking for a new ROM as my current one drains the battery pretty fast...

So I would like to know which ROM + Kernel + Webtop can I run to get Most battery efficiency and a fast Webtop. I've been searching for a while Aurora seems like the right choice but I read somewhere that webtop2sd doesn't work on it. Any help is appreciated!
[Atrix 4G General] ripin150:
I use Homebase, then use the Blur Restore. Rom is really fast, plus Webtop is pretty nice.

Orange Network supports WiFi calling from what I understand and is available on some of their Android devices they sell. On the Galaxy S forums they were able to port the app from the orange stock rom to cm7 by copying over some of the libs. Is there anyway to get it running on my DesireZ. The lib files from the Galaxy S version naturally don't work however the desire S also is supported. Any chance of porting the functionality from there? It seems to be a software thing and not hardware dependant.

Did you get any? I'm also looking for one
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] logo20heli:
Here's my sad story. New to Android. I have a US YP-G1, which had been rooted using SuperOneClick. I installed Steve's Kernel (US version) to get the Voodoo sound. I used Odin3 v1.85. That worked fine. I installed Voodoo control, rebooted; everything still works, sounds great.

Then I decide to explore Clockworkmod recovery. I booted into recovery, ran the the CWM backup option (which I guess is Nandroid backup). It backs up boot/cache/data/datadata/system to what I think is /sdcard. I then reboot out of CWM.

That's it. I'm stuck in a infinite boot loop where I see the swirling pattern and the glowing Samsung logo for a few seconds before it reboots and repeats it again. :eek:

I tried CWM USB "mount USB storage". PC can see the sdcard. But the only thing there is the CWM backup directory with all the backup contents and two other folders: .android_secure and external_sd, both of which are empty. That seems kind of unexpected since I thought I should see the internal SD card contents and expected more directories when mounted to PC. Also expected external_sd directory to show the contents of my 32GB SD card, but nothing shows when mounted like that. PC showed about 5.5GB free on the mount.

I also tried CWM recovery restore from the backup I made. This seemingly restored all files from the backup, but after reboot I'm still in the boot loop.

After searching on the web and finding some guides, I've also tried cleaning out the Dalvik cache, and the "wipe data/factory reset" CWM options. Still have the boot loop. :(

Does anyone have another suggestion for how to get out of the boot loop?

TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
I had a similar problem of getting stuck in a boot loop, but I thought it was because I had cleared the dalvik cache. Nandroid backups work flawlessly for me, btw. Anyway, I got my device fixed by reflashing with this stock ROM with ODIN: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0dd...s2.3.5.tar.md5

After you flash it, it will still be boot loop so go into stock recovery (with 3 button combo) and choose "wipe data/factory reset" and then "wipe cache". Then I rebooted, and I was no longer in boot loop!

You can reflash SteveS kernel after if you want.

Hope this works for you!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] logo20heli:
Hi Klin,

Thanks for the help. I'm having trouble D/L the ROM from the link you provided. FileFactory says its a bad requst. Can you check that please?

I also tried the sequence you suggested but using the ROM I found from another thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412875

I also did the steps you provided using the standard recovery and this got me out of the boot loop. Thanks a bunch for your help!!!

I'll now load SteveS kernel again and see if the backup I made is of any use. If not, then at least I know how to get back to a complete factory reset as you've shown.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
No problem. Glad you got it working again.

And of course, no need to click the thanks button, I really don't care much about my thanks meter...;););)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] logo20heli:
Thanks button clicked! :)

I tried restoring from the CWM Nandroid restore. After restore, it booted fine, but my apps are missing, including Google Market. Actually, the icons are there, but clicking on them tells me that the "application is not installed on the system". Also, other settings are missing as well like my email accounts and wifi connections/passwords. But app icon layout is correct, and clearly it remembered some of my settings. I got the impression this was supposed to do a "full restore".

I tried "reset permissions", but this didn't fix it. Any clues?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Maybe your nandroid backup wasn't created correctly? Because for me my nandroid backup restored all my settings and apps. Did you have any apps installed on the SD card instead of device? Maybe that might be the problem, but I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] keithabi:
I've had exactly the same experience, but with UK version. I had Steves rom and kernel flashed, all looking nice so did a nandroid backup with cwm. No bootloops but everything was gone. Icons were on screen but applications not installed. In the end I did factory reset and reflashed Steves rom. All good but am avoiding cwm!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
My guess: Steve's CWM implementation is broken and is not backing up/restoring /dbdata (Looking at his recovery.fstab, this SHOULD be working, but maybe his fstab is broken.)

I've seen the same sort of behavior when trying to get CWM working on the 5.0 - I fixed it on mine by fixing /dbdata backup/restore (which is treated as /datadata by CWM)

Can you post a list of files in your backup including sizes?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] logo20heli:
Hi Entropy,

Thanks for your help. Here is the list of files from my backup:

01/12/2012 12:00 AM 48,375,360 .android_secure.img
01/11/2012 11:57 PM 7,864,320 boot.img
01/12/2012 12:00 AM 6,633,792 cache.img
01/11/2012 11:59 PM 2,112 data.img
01/11/2012 11:59 PM 13,742,784 datadata.img
01/12/2012 12:00 AM 222 nandroid.md5
01/11/2012 11:59 PM 294,997,824 system.img

Perhaps dbdata is missing as you suspect. But there is a datadata.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
CWM treats dbdata as datadata (just a different naming convention) - so it is getting backed up.

Maybe it didn't get restored properly? dunno...

Wait... data.img is only 2112 bytes? Something is WRONG there... That should be the largest image after /system
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
I just checked my nandroid backup files and data.img was 386.80MB...

Try making another backup and see if it has the same problem...maybe it didn't create correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] logo20heli:
I've just got done restoring the stock kernel and ROM and loading up all my apps manually again. It took a while to do this. So at the moment I don't have SteveS kernel loaded and hence no CWM recovery. I think I'll wait a while to see how things go before trying the kernel again, at least for the CWM recovery part of it. And I also loaded Titanium backup to help me restore from this kind of problem in the future.

Since keithabi also reported something similar, I guess this isn't an isolated issue. It sounded like he too just made a backup and ran into problems; in other words he wasn't trying to restore from a backup, just create the backup. Creating a backup shouldn't kill your machine.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] keithabi:
To confirm, yes I just made a backup and everything was gone....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
That is WEIRD. Just making a backup shouldn't do something like that...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] keithabi:
I agree. I've done loads of backups with SGS II and HTC Desire, never seen anything like that happen before. I'm sure it'll get sorted. Other than that I'm finding Steves rom great with voodoo. Many thanks.....

[Android Apps and Games] cscan:
Hi,

I just create my first android app and already put it on market. This app can detect your flip action and turn your device into silent mode. I noticed that there are many same apps in the market, but I make it some differences:

1. After flip down, my app uses the camera preview to detect the light condition, if it is dark, I treat it as in the pocket or handbag and will not enter the silence mode :)

2. The app allows you to record the voice. :eek: It is good for capturing what the boss said but finally he forget.:cool:

3. It can also enable the proximity and light sensor, I cannot see this kind of feature in other app :rolleyes:

I hope it is the most serious "flip" app, there is no graphic, since I directly inherit from PreferenceActivity. No eating the battery, the background service of the app just listen to the GavitySensor and a handler loop every 500ms.

Hope you can try and comment. And there is a Pro version with US$1, it can extend the voice recording, enable the camera shoot :cool: and phone call :confused:. Hope you enjoy. :D

You can just go to market and search by "flip over". Thanks.

MR.cAN'T.

Found this while searching today and it works great! Go into sdcard/clockworkmod and create a file named ".hidenandroidprogress" without the parenthesis. The easiest way I have found to do this is using ES File Explorer and go into your sdcard/clockworkmod and hit the menu button and select new, then file and call it ".hidenandroidprogress " . This file wont show up until you look at your phone on your computer but its there. Im sure you can use the same process using Root explorer.

SGP 4.0 confirmed working with a PALM brand bluetooth keyboard.

Generally speaking, as long as the Bluetooth keyboard supports HID (as opposed to SPP) it should work. Function buttons may not work as advertised, and CTRL / ALT / SHIFT combinations may be slightly weird, but those issues can be addressed by changing the KEYLAYOUT file. A decent write up is here:

Well blocks are bad because of the corrupted nand flash memory. There is nothing you or the previous user did to it to break it, it already was, and 'now' you know.

It is impossible to downgrade to froyo from gb alot of ppl tried for months to downgrade until revolutionary came out, if your bootloader is v2.10 or lower you can run unrevokd and maybe able to downgrade to froyo on that hboot, but if it was updated to gb ota then the hboot was upgraded as well if it was rooted and upgraded to gb then the bootloader MAY still be a lower version
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I wonder if the hboot is a lower version if the blocks aren't bad but the partitions being different may be recognized as bad blocks with revolutionary since it doesn't support the older hboots and I know the partition sizes were changed on newer hardware/firmware versions so maybe revolutionary is looking for blocks that aren't there from the partition differences
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:

While that may be true, though I personally don't think it would work because in electronics, when nand memory goes [as in corrupt] its a one shot deal, so I think the system will see the whole block as corrupt, regardless of sectors. Though as always, can always try it regardless.
