[General Questions and Answers] RichieMcCaw:
Had oxygen mod installed and franco kernel etc and after months of using it fine I thought the phone was running a bit funny so thought it reinstall fresh.

I knew the files were still on my sd card so i went to go into bootloader or recovery and i got a black screen that had a message Firmware Update Step 1/2 Unpacking.

It finished and appears to put me back on Android 2.21

I then rooted the phone and tried installing clockword mod etc but was having all sorts of problems getting marketplace to work. Can search for apps but when i click install nothing happens. I did enter my gmail account details for sync and it can list my apps available from my account.

USB is not working, it shows up sometimes in the top bar but when i click connect nothing happens and the phone freezes or reboots.

I cant get into the bootloader screen it instead brings up the standard Android bootloader and wont recognise my rom on the sdcard.

I tried rooting with superoneclick and although it roots the phone it seems to cause the issues???
[General Questions and Answers] RichieMcCaw:
Is Superoneclick the only way of rooting U8800?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yes im a noob:
well, now that my issue (for now) seems to be over with the previous rooting nightmare ( see other post called major problem), i once again have the phone re-rooted and dark fyre themed and so far, so good..

so i was in the store the other day, was messing with the phone, and this guy walks up and asks if it was a phone or a tablet hehe....to make a long story short, i just told him it was a rooted phone, blahh blahh blahh....then he went on to ask if i had removed "the background factory installed proggies" to which i had no clue as to what he meant. he said something about since phone is rooted, im supposed to be able to remove all kinds of nuisance stuff and unwanted programs and all that, move icons around, change icons, etc....BUT... i don't seem to be able to do that..

so i began thinking---so what can i do with this phone other than make it look pretty? how do i remove whatever background stuff he was referring to? what else can i do with this thing?

whenever i do try to remove a program in applications/manage applications, the ones i want to uninstall are greyed out and some of them i cant even force close...shouldn't i be able to remove whatever i want whenever?

and on the home screen ,the static icons on the bottom--phone, messages, email, applications---could those be moved/changed?

i did try to find a thread with what all you can do with a rooted phone besides wireless tether, etc...to no avail...

would appreciate if someone can enlighten me and point me in the right direction :-) :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I think the guy was referring to removing the bloatware that comes on the factory (Sprint TV, Sprint Music, etc... bunch of apps). There is a couple ways to get rid of that stuff if you wish to.

1) If you see a custom ROM you want to install, many of those are debloated, so you can just find a ROM you like (Look at Blazer ROM if you like the dark fire theme, he has a version compatible with his ROM[post 4 of his ROM thread]) and flash it.

2) There is a debloating tool available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1438144

If you decide to do any of the above, please research it completely so that you know what you're doing and do it properly.

Regarding the icons in the dock (at the bottom), yes you can change the icons in there, and re arrange them. Follow the steps below.

1) Go into your app drawer

2) Press the menu capacitive button

3) Press edit (You may have to switch to customizeable grid to do this)

4) Once in edit mode, pick the application you want in the dock, and drag it directly over top the one you wish to remove.

5) Press and hold the icons and drag them left and right to re arrange as you wish.

6) Once you're done, press the back capacitive button and it'll save/exit edit mode.

Other features of rooting include ability to use root only apps, such as Titanium backup, wifi teather, etc. I'm sure a quick google search on "benefits of rooting an android phone" will provide you some good examples on other things I haven't mentioned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisingrassia:
Since I'm a noob to this mostly, I can confirm that in order to customize a lot more stuff, you can use a custom launcher (ADW, Launcher Pro, GO Launcher) and a custom lockscreen app (WidgetLocker, maybe others I'm not aware of). As for the pre-installed "proggies," from what I've read it sounds like your best best is to use Titanium Backup and uninstall apps that way. Back them up first, that way if the phone becomes all screwy with it gone, you can just install it back on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
yes you ccan change the icons. open your app drawer push the menu button. click edit. it will tell you you have to switch view. switch. drag and drop the app you want over the app you don't want on the bar at the bottom. you cannot move or replace application drawer. don't forget to switch view back. I use titanium backup to remove all the bloat crap sprint puts on.
[General Questions and Answers] reddd123:
Hello I just got this phone its called Samsung Galaxy S 4G, the model name is SGH-T959V so is this in the Vibrant forum or the 4G forum?? Can someone link me to the correct forum and is it able to root it on 2.3.6 ?
[General Questions and Answers] KM.7StyleR:
Hmm imo you should write question about root SGS 4G in SGS topic.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GreyDark:
Well, so lately I would be using my phone and sometimes when I don't pay attention to it and try to turn it on, I find out that it's somehow off. I turn it back on, and it'll be fine for the day or will be randomly shutting again. At first, I had no idea to the reason why this would occur save maybe my under-volting settings, which I still believe is the case but because I tried switching to the default settings to make sure that wasn't the case, I got back to square one.

I have Octane v3.0, bhundven's 3.1 beta kernel, and thomas.raines' compilation of tweaks Lightning Zap v3.4.2.

My undevolting settings are

level0 - 1000 - 1155 - 1065

level1 - 800 - 1040 - 1035

level2 - 400 - 955 - 960

level3 - 200 - 835 - 950

level4 - 100 - 825 - 930

These values being ones I used from dsexton's guide on undervolting, but that was for Froyo I believe, or at the time, the leaked gingerbread stuff.

So I guess my questions would be what are some settings I could use to UV and not have my phone crash.

note: I just checked the forum for the kernel and the problem might be due to the latest kernel so I might go back to v3 if that'll help.

I'll try and upload a logcat if that'll help...

EDIT: Urgh, I just realized after trying to look up for more stuff related to overclocking and undervolting that the problem is most likely due to the fact that our kernel doesn't actually support overclocking yet and I had wrongly assumed that undervolting and overclocking were different enough aspects of the same thing that despite having no overclocking kernel, undervolting would just naturally be fine... Or that's what I think I've learned from all this.

If the mods can or want to, they can delete this thread, because this was an offhandedly simple question I shouldn't have asked....

If you are using octane 3 and lightning zap, that might be your problem as there could be conflicts since raver put the tweaks right unit the ROM... well, that was the case with lightning zap v1... Plus, I noticed

an issue with v3.4.2 and have issued another update... But that was Bluetooth related... Try removing the init.d folder and replace the build.prop with the original, reboot and test...

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vicious89:
I had a problem similar to yours except it randomly turned off when it was in deep idle and reception was low had nothing to do with OC/UV. What i did was I went back to krylons froyo then jumped back to gingerbread or you can just use the one click heimdall to wipe everything and donit restore from any back up and see what happens.

Try putting thick business card or two business cards trimmed to battery size in the battery compartment between the battery and the back cover.Make sure its closed tightly this way when you feel the need hit your phone the battery won't go loose in the compartment, this will also work for dropping the phone on the table.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GreyDark:
Luckily so far I'm not having the force closes, but should I get one in the new week, I'll take these ideas to heart. The padding the area between the case and the battery I might use anyways, that's a nice idea to use. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TravisG2:
Hi all. Thanks for the site. Hope to help out here when I can. I just moved over from the "X" to Razr, and I have a couple of questions/problems.

When I have a new text message in the notification bar up to and try and open it, the screen goes back to the stock lock screen. What is even more weird about it is that I have Widget Locker installed and enabled. My second problem is that I have Swift Key X installed but every time I go to type something I have to go to input method and re-enable it every time otherwise it keeps returning to the stock keyboard. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
For your first problem, it's normal. You have to disable the stock lockscreen itself. WL won't cancel the lockscreen. There are a few apps on the market that will do that, so just go search.

I'm not too sure about the second though. Try going under Settings -> Language and Keyboards, and change the input method?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TravisG2:
Thanks. Found one called "no lock". Seems to be working so far. I don't really understand why I have to have that with the Razr, but never neded it with the X. Oh well. If it works who cares right?

Now I gotta figure out what's up with the keyboard.

[HTC Wildfire S] GingerSmurf:
So I was following Simons tutorial to rooting the CDMA WFS. In particular I was looking at the Link2SD part of it. I followed his instructions and got an error:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2: device not found

Make sure you have two partitions on your SD card and both are primary.

The screen shot of my MiniTool is attached. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Hi GingerSmurf,

The first problem that I see is that the partition for Link2SD is way too big.

5.44GB only for installing apps? :confused:

The maximum recommended size for Link2SD and also DATA2SD support is 2GB.

This space will only be used for applications you install on your phone. To fill up 1GB already requires a lot of apps.

On my card I created a partition with 1GB, formatted in Ext4 for use in the ROM that is described in my signature.

I suggest you remove the 2nd partition that you created in FAT32 and create a new one in Ext2 format, preferably in Ext4 format if your rom/kernel supports it.

When you create the 2nd partition make sure you choose:

Select as: Primary

File system: Ext2 (to go on the safe side) or Ext4 (preferably)

Never use more than 2GB for that partition.

Use FAT32 for Link2SD only if your rom doesn't support it.

I can tell you that Stock 2.3.5 rom from HTC supports Ext2 (not Ext4) from my experiences.

When you first start Link2SD you should be able to select the file system you used for the partition.

If you already started Link2SD and it doesn't ask where to store it's data go to menu, more, recreate mount scripts.

It should ask what format you used for the Link2SD partition now.

For any more doubts refer to this excellent tutorial for Link2SD, made by d33ps1x. Kudos to him.
