Or if you wanna go the easy rout and your rooted with recovery

download the el29 zip and put it on your sd

enter recovery and wipe cache and delvik cache

the install from sd card and choose the el29 zip and reboot.

On restart, enter settings/about phone/system updates, and update profile and prl.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
To save you a step, you don't need to wipe cache/dalvik. Calkulin's EL29 update.zip does this for you already, so it is redundant.

To add a step, the EL29 modem will not be flashed, so you would have EL29 kernel and ROM, but with your existing modem. To get the EL29 modem (assuming one wants it) would be a separate step of flashing the modem in CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
No need for disrespect, only stated a way to update to modem el29. You try to help someone now days and all you receive is criticism (main reason I avoided XDA for so long) good day sir.

I am currently trying to get full battery of my defy+ to work under MIUI. Being CM based i assumed it would work with the CM battery patch. It doesn't however. I know which files need to be replaced, would it be a good idea to just grab the files from the CM9 defy+ build and replace them?

For those that are interested doesn't work = battery only showing full with question mark icon.

Hey, guys :) I'm using MIUI Pikachu Edition by einsteinno1 and it has full DEFY+ support :) (battery charges up to 100%)

It's overall an awesome ROM, after trying CM7.2, latest WIUI and MS2G v3, Pikachu is the best one for me.

My DEFY+ was on 2.3.5, so I flashed it down to Froyo before flashing Pikachu :)

Cheers!

I have the same Defy 2.3.5 but I don't know how to install a diffrent ROM/interface ...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headers.chennai:
Search this wonderful Forum - There are many threads telling you how to install a new ROM / interface
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanSebastian:
Well then I will definitely give Miui Pikachu edition a try :) As far as I understand Froyo version is the best to use to flash Miui right ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt24:
Hi all,

About the Defy+ battery. This battery is only support by GB kernel. So nevermind the patch you applied, you'll always have a bad result. This patch works on CM 7.2 Defy + because this rom doesn't incluse the kernel and use the GB one of your phone.

So the only solution is what nisky+ said... Flash before the 2.3.6 SBF on the dev forum who allow you to flash a Froyo kernel first...

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=855
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksy+:
Froyo is the safest way, yes, and it will work without problems. It should work when flashed over 2.3.4, too, but I haven't tried that, myself.

@mdt24 Then how come I don't have battery problems now when Froyo's kernel is used :p

P.S. It's niksy, not nisky :p
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt24:
Hi niksy ;-)

It's because I think this rom doesn't incluse kernel, so you always run a 2.3.4 GB Kernel...

quote from Miui Pikachu edition : IMPORANT!!! this Rom works only on Defy or Defy+ with Froyo Kernel or Gingerbread 2.3.4/5 Kernel. All with 2.3.6 Kernel have to downgrade to Froyo Kernel, because the new Motorola Kernel won't work with MIUI. Just use this Tutorial on XDA Developers

But I could be wrong in my deduction, so Please, can you give us the number of the kernel you have with this pikachu rom ?...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanSebastian:
What I did before was downgrade from 2.3.6 using the sbf the dev provided that allows you to downgrade to froyo then I flashed Miui official rom and still had problems with battery. Kernel version currently is : 2.6.32.9gb08c3c8 if that makes any sense to you cause I personally just don't know anything bout kernels... I just downloaded pikachu Miui and will give a try soon and share the results with you
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yay101:
Hey all, thanks for the replies. I already know about the limitations of the patch and which versions the driver works with. That is why i flashed the 2.3.4 kernel before using MIUI and therefore the defy + patch. I just don't get why it doesn't work, do i need to use a defy+ kernel?

I will grab the files used in the working MIUI Defy+ rom and package them as a flashable .zip for other users.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksy+:
Mate, you are right about the ROM, it doesn't include any kernel, but I said that I flashed that special version 6 Froyo (that's a full sbf) before flashing Pikachu! ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt24:
The kernel you mentionned is a froyo kernel...

As you all I try to understand why it's possible that the defy+'s battery works or not with the patch. It's sure it works with a 2.3.6 GB kernel and a patch for the system (battd, lib) used by the rom if the new rom doesn't include a kernel.

It seems that if the rom include a froyo kernel the patch doesn't work...

So... may be a way to understand

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

Yes but I'm pretty sure than this special version has a GB kernel. It's just the bootloader who accept all kind of kernel...

Check your Kernel number, I think you must have something like this 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanSebastian:
Ok after some testing I can tell you that the battery charged to 100% only the first time I booted.Since then it has only charged till 90%. I also did calibrate the battery the first time I flashed the Rom but no results:(
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksy+:
It's 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 - the one you said it's Froyo :) Just checked!

And for the battery... First time it charged to 100%, this time it stuck at 90%. Quite weird... But, that is with Froyo kernel, as we've come to conclude.

But, on the other hand, my bro's got a DEFY+, too, with CM7.2 on it and with Gingerbread kernel (27th January DEFY+ nightly) and the battery goes to 100% every time. I will test Pikachu on a Gingerbread kernel, cause I can't really live with this bug :-/ Will let you know how it went, now I'm off to find a 2.3.4 sbf!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanSebastian:
I had the same idea and have already downloaded a full 2.3.4 GB sbf to check just that !

i wish a 2.3.4 GB kernel can fix that, although I think the only kernel able to fix this is 2.3.5 and above

Hello, the thing is that I have a Motorola Atrix 4G from Claro, Nicaragua with Froyo. Claro doesn't have released the official GB update. So I was wondering, is there any other way to update to GB?

This is the reply I got here:

I would really appriciate if someone can suggest me if its possible to manually upgrate the OS on the tablet to 4.0 that has no official support from the vendor.

Also I have few additional question as to why I may be facing the following issue:

1. when i try the option to do a "System update" it throws an error:

"The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."

2. I also get an error when I try to reset the tablet, using the setting option, but I can reset it using the hard boot and getting in to the command prompt.

BTW I am totally new to Andriod so this may sound really basic question to ask.

Here are the actual detail of the device:

Model number: HW Type = MT8801_ZX_8 Vendor ID: 06600

Andriod Version = 2.3.3

Baseband Version = Unknown

Kernal version = 2.6.35.7-tcc its045@linux-server2 #137

You still want swype? If not, try gingerbread keyboard. It's really nice and has no bugs.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
If you want another "swiping" keyboard try SlideIT or load a newer Sense ROM and enable the "trace" feature of the HTC keyboard.

If you want a strictly tapping keyboard, my favorite is SwiftKey X, although a lot of people also like GO Keyboard.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
SwiftKey is the bomb. Predictive text at it's finest.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supamike88:
Tried out Swiftkey. Found Swype is still faster for me
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I've never used anything faster than Swype.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
You have to use SwiftKey for a couple of weeks for it to learn how you text. Now I only have to enter about half the letters to type because it does so well at predicting. With swype I would constantly get the wrong words.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
i personally use SwiftKeyX, it's so fast. If you like a Swyping keyboard, you have SlideIT or Go Keyboard.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznanimedude:
another vote for swiftkey X

except for this one random time when it wouldn't autocorrect anymore, i was quite sad because it made me realize how much i suck at typing fast on my phone without it :<
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwill107:
I can't get away from Swype. I'm terrible at tapping in words, and Swype gets it right *most* of the time. "Or" and "Our" always get interchanged though. Haven't given other Swype-able keyboards like Slide-It a shot yet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steven-026:
I feel like I'm fastest at typing with Slideit. I like Swiftkey most for tap styled keyboards though. Sliding is just so much easier for me though. For some reason, only on this phone do I have trouble with tapping keyboards, on my iPod Touch I do perfectly fine, it's just this phone for some reason, and I've tried multiple keyboards.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NW5anti:
TouchPal Keyboard is another alternative to the built in swype.

TouchPal Keyboard Market Info

My only dislike about it is lacking in dictionary. I am constantly adding words to it, but all and all it is a good swype alt.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supamike88:
I have to agree that I get the words wrong a lot with Swype. The thing that bugs me about Swype is that if you try to do it fast you almost always mess up and the prediction can sometimes be really bad

FlexT9 is my favorite for tap or trace. Less error prone for my usage than Swype.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donj001:
I've seen several of my favorites listed here. I prefer SlideIT and then flexT9 both are good replacements for swype
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rustyguy:
I've tried to escape my dependancy to Swype but its just not happening. Touch pal is probably the best slider ice found since. For some reason it just seems much more tap friendly and a touch more accurate but its annoying coming from Swype that you have to go word by word if you wanna do any correcting. Swype I could just pound in the whole sentence and then go back to correct anything that went wrong. Swype just had a few too many nice refinements like circling double letters, swyping to open the number pad or selection pad. One feature I would love to take back from touchpal is the abillity to swype the space bar to turn on or off autocorrect for when you know your going to be tapping out some broken words like a password.

Slideit, because of user defined shortcuts.

For example, I just got tired to manually enter the same email address zillions of times (websites, when sending mail etc ect) so I have all the addresses I use in shortcuts- just type two letters and voila...

[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
Do you prefer to have sense or do you not care which?
[myTouch 4G General] eximido:
I agree - the first step you should do is to decide whether you'd like to use Sense-based ROM or not, as there's a great difference between those. For Sense you may check Virtuous Unity, for AOSP - Cyanogenmod 7.1. Only after that you may go deeper for more customized versions of either Sense or not builds.

I wonder if there's any noticeable differences between Virtuous Unity and Affinity. I know - the first is Sense 3.0, the second - Sense 3.5. But isn't the 3.5 just an optimized version of 3.0, and why do many people prefer 3.0 over 3.5? Most reviews I read didn't make it clear to me.

My friends and I have been using MyFitnessPal and other equivalent web sites to track our meals for a few months now. Most of these sites use a database of food items that have been submitted by users, and many times they're way off. I grew sick of having to look up food items online for accuracy, so I decided to write an Android app to make things easier.

Queue up my new (and first) Android application, "What's On Your Plate". It's a simple application that contains the USDA National Nutrient Database and all it's 7,906 items of goodness.

It allows you to:

Search for items by keywords.

Browse for items by category.

See detailed nutritional information for each item.

Choose a serving size, with custom units per item.

Save commonly used items to a list of favorites.

Share your selected item and serving size via email, Google Docs, or more.

Optionally display "net carbohydrates" rather than "carbohydrates".

I'm considering features such as listing the macro percentages within each food, and the ability to search for food items by percentages for when you're looking for something new to add to your next meal. :)

It's free of course, but there is a small AdMob ad at the bottom. Maybe it'll cover that $25 fee Google charges for posting on the market, but I doubt it haha.

Anyway, take a look, and shout at me if you like (or hate) it. Thanks!
