[Galaxy S I9000 General] JumboSlim:
A lot of people don't use anywhere near all the features of the phones they buy, and the smarter the phones the more features are unused.

They just want the latest phones...

They will change "up" as soon as they are allowed, so to them long term support of continued development are not important.

And this is being encouraged by ALL the manufacturers, not just Samsung.

let's face it, if any manufacturer actually produced a phone that did everything that was needed and properly, they couldn't bring out a new phone 3 months down the line, and the product line would be reduced from 10 or more down a couple per maker.

Not good financial sense.

P.S. I have had my Galaxy S for a year and a half and I'm generally pleased with it, I have it doing what I want and pretty well too. I don't NEED ICS, buy if and when it comes I'll try it.

There are no cameras on phones that I consider good enough for anything other than snapshots, so i have a good quality camera for pictures and a very competent phone for phone related tasks.

Rant over
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
Exactly my thoughts. The only reason people complain for ICS on i9000 though is because that's the phone they sold the most, is ICS capable and they never actually delivered a bug-free ginger version (there're still some major ones that never got fixed). Their excuse about touchwiz+ICS being too much for the i9000 is also BS, i'm sure. Not caring about the customer and providing **** support is the problem.

They probably had leftover parts they decided to capitalize by making this phone. Whether this will be a hit or not will depend on it's price. If they make it attractive enough, people with cheap phones looking for an upgrade without spending much may like it. Totally unworth it for someone owning an i9000 already though, even less with GB being the default system.

To all guys complaining : OOOO, bad, bag Samsung, they are releasing the new model with old system without chances for its official update,baaad, baaad, baaad Samsung, you should be punished, and all workers and managers burned in a big bonfire!!!

Could you, boys and girls, tell me: who the hell forces you to buy it?:eek:

What is the reason of your nightly wetting, shouting and cries?

I never seen peoples like you, in example standing in front of TV shop and shouting: I don't want this TV bcs the wall plug is ugly black, while I wanted it to be pink with golden dots... yet, maybe bcs I did not met you in the real world:rolleyes:

I dont understand how u can complain about the first of the galaxys. I mean there still better than. The iphone 3g plut u can find roms to get it to do more than a phone actully needs to do anyway. I think yall just expect to much from a phone rember there not a computer. Iv had my sgs for almost two years now and other than the random freezing and fue lil glitches that i can live with im happy with it..... BETTER THAN AN IPHONE!!!!View attachment 880655
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
I don't get it, OP sais the "Galaxy S" should've been like something that just got out...

The Galaxy S was already a beast when it got out, it was on top as far as performance and technologie goes, how do you compare it to something that is launched 2 years later...

Sure, I'd like the current phone to have the technologies that will be available in 2 years but right now! And, in 2 years, I'd want my 2 years old phone to be as powerfull as the one coming out!!

i think its a good marketing strategy by samsung

see you people are fighting and buying the new samsung galaxy advance:p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amroth84:
Ach, tough topic.. That happened to me as well :mad:

The move of keeping ICS out of the Galaxy S/Advance models and instead get at most android 2.3 on them is just a clever ruse to lure us on the higher-level and more costly models.

Too bad for them, we can reflash :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Keeper91:
Hi,

I just pursached my Flyer last week. I inmediatly made the Root from globatron´s guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758

No problem with it, and all works fine. But know I have seen that I cant see/download apps from market wich are specifically for Honeycomb, although my Flyer runs Honeycomb. All the stock apps like Youtube, Maps... work with the Honeycomb skin, but I cant get new ones, and other apps like Google Docs or AstroZip are working with the Phone skin, not the Tablet Optimized view....

See the atachments below...

Can you help me??
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] berbecverde:
I see you are looking for google body.I read somewere the they sold the software to a company named Zygote. You can subscribe on the wesite and they will notify you when the software is ready.

Www.zygotebody.com i think.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Keeper91:
@berbecverde @mcord11758 Thank you for your replies, but I´m not interested in Google Body. That was just an example of Android 3+ -only App. But I recently discovered that I do see on the Market the Honeycomb-only apps.

Know I just want to know why my HTC Flyer, that is running Honeycomb, cant be identified as a Honeycomb Tablet by the Apps I download. See the example of Google Docs, wich is shown as in my Android Phone, and not like in other Tablets.

If you take a look at my new atachments, you can see the difference between Phone/Adroid 2x,(left) and Tablet/Honeycomb (right)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
You actually got the title of your thread wrong. The Flyer supports HC and HC apps, but many short sighted developers considered tablets to be only the 10" devices with 1200x800 screens and so coded their apps only to that specification.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Along the lines of what I was going to say. Its not a case of the Flyer not supporting the apps or being able to see them on the Market; but rather a case of the individual app developers not supporting our hardware.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Keeper91:
If what you say is true, I find absurde that for example the GMail or the Youtube Apps are looking like in other 10" Tablets, but the Google Docs isn't, as they are all from Google... :rolleyes:

Maybe its a bug on my Flyer?? :confused: Could anyone of you test the Google Docs App on your Flyer and tell me how is it showing?

Thank you!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
My Google docs looks exactly the same as yours.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:
My docs bigger than yours...

In all seriousness, there's nothing wrong with your device. As mentioned above, developers are only recently receiving the support necessary from Google to properly develop for the huge spectrum of devices, all with varying specifications. It's slow going, but should pick up momentum soon.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jayochs:
my docs is the phone version too, and it force closes allllll the time. anyone else's force close? ugh
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Its not the size that matter, but the functionality. :-P
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bagelicious:
I think this explains why Reddita force closes immediately for me. I'll try contacting the dev since he might be able to fix it.. Thanks, guys!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Just wait till Samsung drops their 11.5" 1600 x2000 pixel display behemoth on the Android world.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Keeper91:
And is there any way to trick the Flyer so that its recogniced as any other bigger tablet in order to let the apps show like on the bigger tablets???

Maybe with a ROM?? Can LeeDroiD HC do that??
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I would think some simple build prop edits would likely do the trick.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jayochs:
what mccord said. i made my incredible think it was like the galaxy s 2 so i could download modern combat 3 when it was 99 cents lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bagelicious:
If anyone can give a slightly more in depth explanation than that, I think several of us would really appreciate it. Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Your build prop has lines in it that identify the manufacturer of your device and the model. If you switch these bits with that of another device you would likely be able to fool the market

Edit

Basically this, inserting the appropriate line from a 10 inch tab. Not sure the end result will be usable apps

Now, edit that file from your PC with your choice of text editor. You might want to back it up / copy it first. Find the line that starts with ro.build.fingerprint= and replace the whole line with:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bagelicious:
Does anyone know if changing the LCD density would help resolve some of these issues? I know some guys used to do that in the Nook Color forums to get some apps working, but that was specifically on Gingerbread (CM7). I don't know if things work differently on HC or not.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Correct and since HC was leaked it changed. Many apps are now also available for the Flyer HC.

But first I thought I was back in the 80th, where other developers make the mistake to think that a screen always have a fixed resolution.

But: A tablet is a tablet and not 1280x1024 pixels :rolleyes:

No, it is the panel layout which google promotes in his own guidelines.

Our Flyer is not wide enough for the 3-panel layout from google docs. Therefore this application switch to the 1-panel layout.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rabinorojo:
I have a Huawei u8180 (Orange Stockholm) and I cannot unlock it with code because the unnoficial Cyanogenmod in hidding the question asking for Network Unblock Code...

(I think it's related with an update of you called "The phone is no longer restricted when network locked and using a different SIM card." (v 0.8)

Doesn't matter wich SIMcard I put on it... he only ask me the PIN of the card and later the phone starts as "no sim" with an "!" exclamation on the network.

Where I can put the unlock code? Is there any hidden menu for that?

I'm very very happy with the firm (it's cool) but can't use it with my Vodafone card

I consider reflashing it but I don't wanna loose all my data and I'm also new Clockwork recovery program...

The version I install of Cyanogenmod was this one:

v0.8 - 26 January 2012:

Data wipe?: Only if you have problems.

Updated CyanogenMod source (still 7.2.0-RC0).

Fix for rare issue where notification area items can get "stuck", causing notifications to malfunction.

Now includes ICS rotation and transition animations (merged officially into CM7.2)

Wifi: disable wpa_supplicant_6's combo scan to fix reconnect/hidden SSID issues

Bluetooth: disable master mode to increase reliability with some peripherals

libaudio: code cleanup (based on rmcc's geeksphone zero); removed dependency on proprietary liba2dp.so

ADWLauncher: allow rotation of home screen by default

Kernel: re-enable multitouch support (oops)

Init: reduce default mmcblk0 readahead from 2MB -> 258KB to avoid potential lag.

The phone is no longer restricted when network locked and using a different SIM card.

Small cleanups.

Can anyone provide the LG optimus 2x lockscreen with the blue glow effect which it has? I just saw the 10 lockscreen mod and it was not present there but it is available in the 15 lockscreen mod of Galaxy S.
[Epic 4G Themes] ss4rob:
Since I couldn't find one, I decided to make it and share! :)

Flashing with ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7. I've only tested this on my own stock / BML / EL30 Epic, and MTD EL30 SleeperRom - I don't get any system crashes unlike the EI22 one I tried before. Make a nandroid backup just in case, and wipe your Dalvik cache after flashing, but this should work on odexed and deodexed roms just fine. Be sure to push thanks, Thanks!

Thanks,

I was trying to do the same thing. I've never cooked up a rom, but it really didn't seem too difficult. As far as I could tell all I had to do was decompile the framework-res.apk, modify one line of code, recompile, and reinstall. Every step was a pain, and I never got it to boot. Glad you got did this.

If you feel like posting the steps you used I'd be interested to see where I went wrong.
[Epic 4G Themes] ss4rob:
harwood0808 (thanks for testing & pushing the Thanks button!) installed this on MTD EL30 SleeperRom and it worked just fine - cool! 8-) I figured it would, but you know what happens to people that assume, heh.
[Epic 4G Themes] ss4rob:
That is mostly what I did using this guide as a reference point:

http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/enable-crt-animation

I'm on a Mac, and spend most of my time in Terminal, so once I saw what was required it wasn't too difficult - the most time consuming part was everything else. :)

Yikes, what rom are you running, is it MTD or BML, is it odexed or deodexed, stock, TouchWiz based or CM7 based? What other mods have you flashed?
[Epic 4G Themes] baped:
I have currently no roms or anything just stock for the moment,(got a fresh phone again) guessing it will only work with a rom for now huh
[Epic 4G Themes] ss4rob:
I'm straight up rooted stock with CWM 5.0.2.7 - no problems here. Did you clear your Dalvik cache before or after you flashed this zip? Make a Nandroid and try again, making sure to clear Dalvik cache before flashing (FYI, I cleared Dalvik cache after flashing and had no problems) . Good luck!

Tried everything on the thread, tried wiping dalvik before and after flashing I tried new downloads and repeating the step and I still can't get it to work. I'm stock rooted deoxed and using MTD. Any suggestions?!
[Epic 4G Themes] That Future:
Please forget what I said ^^^ I forgot to mount system and when I did everything worked thanks for the animation!
[Epic 4G Themes] ss4rob:
I guess the ACS rom has something conflicting with this stock framework-res - my apologies for it not working for you. :-/

Try flashing again - since this mod works on SleeperRom which is deodexed, it should work on your stock deodexed rom as well. Good luck.

You can change the color of the over scroll glow and the status bar, but I don't think you can change the color of the CRT off animation, or at least not the way I'm doing it. That would be cool though, make it burn-in green, heh. :)

Hey!

Perhaps I'm being dense, but, I found the E4GT-EL29 recovery kernel, but I'm looking for an Odin .tar that ONLY contains the Rooted Kernel+SU. Any package I've found so far that will get SuperUser on the D710 is an entire ROM. In the past, I've been able to find a .tar for Odin that is

only

Kernel+SU. Does this not exist for the EL29 update for the D710?

Thank you!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I don't think I've ever heard of that way of getting root. I know you can switch kernels and not break root. I've also never heard of a kernel that roots a phone. It may be possible but idk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you ODIN flash a kernel that is not signed by Samsung (which a rooted kernel would be), then you will trigger the yellow triangle and increase your ODIN flash count. That is why the packages I put together have root in the ROM and flash a stock kernel. Then if you want CWM I have you use the Auto Root package (Option C) to install CWM. I know you can use a USB jig to reset the yellow triangle and ODIN flash count, but not everybody owns one.

If you really want to do what you suggest, then you can flash Steady Hawkin's Rogue CWM repacked with EL29, then install Superuser using CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snottrag:
Odining a ROM

Since we are on this subject, could someone please tell me what is preserved if the EL29 ROM is installed with the option to PRESERVE user data?

I was under the impression that when you install a ROM, you have to set everything back up and reinstall all of your apps? is this correct even if you preserve user data?

I think the intent to this original post was to find a way to have a rooted EL29 without setting everything back up. I feel like I was able to root my stock rom and keep all of my apps intact.

Sorry if this is a n00b question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Basically it won't reset the /data partition.

This partition contains your settings, user installed apps, etc.

GOING FROM STOCK TO STOCK: Usually if you go from stock to stock it works ok. Sometimes you need to wipe cache and dalvik-cache afterwards. In rare occasions you might need to factory reset. If you are going from the same version to the same version (ie EL29 to EL29) and basically just want to reset everything to stock, then it almost always works (unless your system is hosed)

Now if you are going from custom ROM to stock or things are hosed, I would suggest the Full update that resets /data and possibly a ##786# reset afterwards.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Just like installing windows countless times from scratch, I've installed roms from the very beginning. Another way fresh install is like windows is that when you boot for the first time, that's the best it will ever run. From that point, it's all downhill. Start installing crap, the system gets a tiny bit slower and slower. LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xanadu73:
(Sorry for the delayed response... :( )

Yes, that is really want I want to do. I (with a couple exceptions) actually like Samsung's Android "distro". (It would be nice to be audibly notified of texts while on a phone call ala webOS, but...).

I have a USB Jig, does that still work with EL29 to reset the counter / remove the triangle?

Either way, thank you very much for the info! :)

M.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The ODIN One-Clicks in my signature *are* the Samsung Android distro, with the addition of 3 files for root. Nothing else is changed.

There are 2 versions provided. The Full one resets your user data. The NoData one preserves your user data.

If you updated to EL29 using one of the packages a dev here put together the jig will work fine. If you used the raw leaked EK02 through EL29 or if your phone came with EK02 or EL29, the USB Jig will still get you into download mode, but won't reset the stats. If you flash one of the ODIN One-Clicks in my signature that issue will be resolved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xanadu73:
Nope, OTA update. I had used a kernel a couple updates back that gave me root (and somehow kept working after the previous update a month or so ago) but now it's broke after the EL29 OTA (understandably).

I guess I have some reading to do on how to install one of your full ROMs. No, I'm not going to bug you with n00b questions on that - I know how to use Google (plus your directions seem pretty straight forward on the forum posts). :) I'm here from webOS - finally dumped my Pre- in late October (Curse you, Ruby!!). Things like this were so much easier there thanks to UnixPsycho's kernels (and Rod's PreWare, of course). I guess it's time for me to grow up, shift gears, and move on!

I did look into your suggestion of using the Rogue Kernel+su packages, but unless I'm reading things wrong, I can only seem to find the Recovery versions and not the Homebrew versions. Still, he says that root already needs to be there, but you say that root comes after kernel install. I dunno.

Aside, I'll be doing some homework and using the NODATA version (I really don't want to set everything back up again.

Thank you for your work and dedication!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Root is an overloaded term.

The most base type of root is simply a user login that has special powers (similar to administrator on windows) I know you probably know this, just listing it out for a more complete answer.

There are a couple of ways to expose that special user login to the user. Some can be done through kernel.

What most people now refer to as "root" is actually the "su" binary and the "Superuser.apk" app which is a database that keeps track of which apps can have root. These are what the android apps that require root use.

So when people say "root" they can mean many things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xanadu73:
Agreed! I was just trying to "fit in". :) I've been using Gentoo as my main distro of choice on my machines since 2002, a couple years of Mandrake before that, and some RH thrown in for the very beginning in '98 or so.

That is what I'm interested in. To show:

me@aragorn ~ $ adb shell
$ su
$
$ $ export PATH="$PATH:/data/data/jackpal.androidterm/shared_prefs/kbox/bin"
$ su
$ which su
/system/bin/su
$ ls -l /system/bin/su
-rwxr-xr-x root shell 22228 2011-12-15 10:49 su
$ whoami
whoami: unknown uid 2000
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
$

It's there, the permissions look right, but it doesn't DO anything anymore.

Yes, I realize this is now out of the scope of this thread, but, if getting Superuser.apk back on my D710 is the answer, then that is what I'll do!

M.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The reason it doesn't work anymore is you lost setuid/setgid permissions on the su binary. It should look like this:

$ ls -l /system/bin/su
-rw[U][COLOR="red"]s[/COLOR][/U]r-[U][COLOR="Red"]s[/COLOR][/U]r-x root shell 22228 2011-12-15 10:49 su

If you have the ability to get root userid (also denoted by # shell prompt) then you could type

chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

and that would fix the issue.
