[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
The problem is that the AOSP kernel used to build for Dream in android-2.2.3_r1 is really not a Dream kernel but a Sapphire kernel for the 2708 radio.

I don't remember exactly whether the kernel binary on 2.2.3_r1 is inside device/htc/dream or device/htc/dream-sapphire, but, in any case, it's better if you just go ahead and re-base both to froyo-plus-aosp, then just rm -rf out/ and build again. It should work this time around with a kernel binary that's compatible with both dream and sapphire for any radio.

Just note that there were a few differences between 2.2.3 and froyo-plus-aosp build systems, namely, the proprietary packages scripts, so you might find that during build-time it'll stop and complain of a missing binary. Just make sure to run either extract-files or unzip-files again to get the right binaries.

As far as building a kernel for Dream, you want to build android msm kernel, but I think that all trout parts were disabled from the stock config after 2.6.29, so you have to manually go back and reconfigure/enable everything.

I'd just stick with the AOSP dream kernel (the one on froyo-plus-aosp) or with another pre-built kernel, either CM or ezterry.

I'll post md5sums for the correct AOSP kernel and possibly the package I use for pulling binaries to build froyo for dream once I get home.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliher1911:
Almost solved

It took me some time to get back to building AOSP and I did it with the help of you guys.

First thing is that froyo-plus-aosp does not exist anymore since it wasn't recovered as a part of new repository since as far as I understand no reliable sources for it exists except hacked kernel.org.

I tried with froyo branch as before but replaced kernel image in it with ezTerry's one (which so far seem to have the options I need). And it booted more or less ok. I even managed to put a set of prebuilt apk's that I need into the source tree so that I almost don't need to setup the phone after flashing new image.

Problems that I didn't manage to fix/understand so far is:

- how to apply superuser to the image instead of running update with a zip file

- how to fix unworking camera (shows checkerboard for some time and crashes). Could it be because I only take kernel image and ignore modules?

- how to make sdcard work reliably (it doesn't mount via usb, and if i unmount it, i can mount it back only by reboot, if I do mount it says card damaged or card empty).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacotbone:
Here's what is going on...

My Galaxy S I9000 (Bell Canada) was water damaged, after being dried for many days it turned on, but the battery almost immediately drained. I left the phone and forgot about it. Bought a new cheap phone without a SIM.

More recently I got a new battery for it and it turned on and was working great, staying charged and everything. When I went to the service provider to get a new SIM for it, we powered down the phone, pulled the battery and SIM card and put the new SIM in followed by the battery. Afterwards the phone would not power on, but the two face buttons on either side of the 'Home' button lit up and would react to touch. I tried removing the battery and SIM a few times and would get the same result.

After bringing my phone home and leaving it with the battery out for a few days, I thought I would try it again. It powered up again as if nothing was wrong. To test it again, I pulled the battery and SIM, replaced them, and my black screen/won't turn on problem returned.

Every so often it will power on and be useable. It is recognized by Kies, I've flashed it to firmware 2.3.4.

I'm looking for any helpful suggestions for what might solve my problem. I'm wondering if it's a hardware problem and short of isolating the part of the phone that is faulty and replacing it, the phone is toast.

Thanks for your time, and I apologize for the length of my post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
My friend has dropped the SGS into a pool before. Problem was fix after buying a new battery.

Either: Damaged screen + Contact. Or the reaction with water and the battery. hydrogen gas prevents screen from connecting to main-board.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacotbone:
It still turns on occasionally, and when it powers up, it's as if nothing is wrong. Screen works, displays everything fine, colour is crisp, screen reacts to touch. The big problem is it won't turn on all the time. Would what you said still explain this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
The only thing I know (assuming the screen or motherboard is 100% functioning) is hydrogen gas being present. You might know TV remote with old battery casually respond to presses. After cleaning contacts it should work again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacotbone:
I disassembled the phone and cleaned all the contacts on the main board with rubbing alcohol, I did not do anything to the screen though. Should I try taking it apart again and breaking it down further? (ie. separate the screen?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
No, I am starting to think it's a hardware fault if that didn't work

Your themes are truly amazing.

I did not buy one (i personally find themes that cost more than 1 euro expensive), but the screenshots are way more beautiful than any other skin i 've seen in the market

welcome to Android world! i remember testing themes for you back when i had my Bold 9700, not sure if you remember. ill definitely be having an eye out for your Android works now.

Thanks avoulk! Its great to hear that!

Edit - as per user requests, nearly all themes are now just $1.99 or less :) (Go SMS themes lowered)

Thanks again :D enjoy!

Hey Aftashok! I definitely remember that. Glad to see a friendly face on Android.

Thanks guys, I'll be adding more this week, perhaps some GO Contacts themes as well.

Any requests be sure to let me know!
[Android Themes] Aftashok:
any thoughts of doing any theming for SwiftKey keyboard?
[Android Themes] htctoucher:
I didn't know swiftkey supported themes, do they now?
[Android Themes] polstein:
Are you taking requests? I like how you make themes for both Go SMS & Touchpal so that they can match!

I'm currently using the Dark Swift themes (which match fine) but testing out the Dark Blue themes (which don't match quite correctly).

Can the Touchpal keyboard be changed so that the letters on Touchpal are Black instead of White (to match the SMS chat bubble). Also, the color on Touchpal seems off by a little but, possibly due to the gradiant. Can the Touchpal blue color be made a few shades darker to match the SMS bubble blue color?

Thanks!

ps - tried to email you, but don't know if you check or of it just failed to get there
[Android Themes] htctoucher:
Hey polstein!

Glad to hear you're liking the themes!

I just checked it out. I don't think I'll be doing black letters on the keyboard just for visibility issues.

Although I can look into changing the color to white on the SMS bubbles. What do you think?

Funny I never got an email, which address did you send to?
[Android Themes] polstein:
Thanks for the reply!

I sent the mail through the address listed in the Market (ok, the Play Store..grr).

I'm not even sure which theme I'm using at the moment, I've been switching around a lot and still can't decide on a keyboard. Every time I try to stick with one, things jump out that annoy me & I switch to another (then repeat). Touchpal is pretty good, but has some annoyances (and while updates come out regularly, the dev doesn't seem to be responding anywhere).

Mostly, I like having the keyboard & sms match themes. In the case of the Dark Blue theme, the black text on blue looks pretty good in Go SMS, trying to imagine what it would look like on the keyboard (black letters on the blue keys). Could go white text in GO Sms, but might be a small step the wrong way (and upset people using it already). Either way, please don't change just for me - I don't think I'm going to stick with the Dark Blue Touchpal skin, it's just too bright for me.

In general, the ones I tend to like are darker skins with color accents. (Perhaps a version of Dark Blue Touchpal - flipped - so the keys are black and the accent/letters are the blue to match the Dark Blue Go SMS theme?)

Finally, I made a feeble attempt with the theme builder to make a GO Sms theme to match the "Classic" touchpal look (grey keys with black letters and blue accents. I used mspaint to grab the rgb values of the skin & made backrounds & bubbles in Go Sms to match the keyboard.... and it looks like like crap. Somewhere in there, I'd love to see a Go Sms theme to match the Classic Touchpal look. I know you can do a much better job then I can :)

Thanks for any work you do!
[Android Themes] htctoucher:
I'll look into doing a classic TouchPal theme. Added to the to-do! :D

Also to note, nearly all our Go SMS themes are now $1.99!

Hey polstein

I have since rectified the email system.Seems emails were being withheld. All is working now! Email away :D

Read your post again today and I am wondering if you've checked out the Dark Phone Series. By your description it seems like it would fit perfectly into your request for black keys with blue accent highlights.

It's actually my favorite right now I have it running as I type this message! Have a look and see what you think!

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mike123475:
I updated my phone last night to ics it was working fine until i restarted the phone now my vivid constantly reboots right before loading up my SD card and constantly does this over and over I'm not sure what to do to fix this? i really don't factory reset because i didn't back anything up any ways to fix this
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
howd you upgrade? this almost sounds like you flashed an ICS ROM without first flashing ICS Hboot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mike123475:
i did it ota update from the vivid is there something more that i needed to do?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
probably not. 2 things i would try..

1) remove sd card and try to boot

2) run ruu (assuming your bootloader is locked)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mike123475:
ok so i removed the sd card now its working fine there is no reboot so do you think it's a app causing this problem?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
If at all possible id say your sd card will have to be reformatted before it will work correctly again in the vivid running ICS.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mike123475:
i was wrong it rebooted again without the sd card should i factory reset or any other solutions?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Yea if the OTA broke you, I'd suggest running trying a factory reset, and if that doesn't work try running the RUU (you're stock unrooted anyway right)? The RUU should be available from HTC's site now, but just googe RUU 3.26.502.56 and you'll find it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobiesnacks:
Before I buy a Galaxy note...

I don't particularly want Touch wiz, I want full ICS experience, especially youtube, email and calendar.

Is it possible to update a ROM to give you full ICS experience, but also full S-pen functionality but without Touch wiz? thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
S Pen is hardware functionality so it will still work if you put any ICS rom build on the leaked ICS version for Note GT N7000. There are some Samsung stock apps and gestures that are optimized to be used with S Pen so if you go for leaked ICS "AOSP" build you might lose those. That's it !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobiesnacks:
thanks for the quick reply. Are there any ROMs that give you the best of both worlds?

ICS

+ full S Pen gestures

+ S Pen Apps.

So that would mean I guess eg that the Galxy note calendar would need to be installed as well as the ICS calendar?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Go for midnote 2.0 the most stable of ICS roms. Will have touchwiz also but just replace with Nova or Apex and its just like stock ICS.

If you just want the real stock ICS then go for imilka's AOSP ICS rom.

Cheers!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peoples_flip:
Aosp ROM for sure.

I'm using Midnote 2.0 and everything works but AOSP by imilka is just a true ICS experience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Advoc@te:
Use ICS Repack of Chainfare, it has stock launcher.

But you can change it to Apex or Nova Launcher.

I decided to visit cellunlocker.net to confirm the refund deal and this nice Firefox plugin I have to warn me of rogue sites came up all red.

Who cares about ratings? Everyone on here is happy with them. Not one person who is dissapointed with them. Maybe your just a competitor from another site :P

i hate cellunlocker. i typed in the incorrect imei by one number and emailed them immediately with the right number. (this all happened on the weekend) and they still processed it with the old order and told me i was screwed and i could buy another code for them if i wanted.

Not only that, but I had to e-mail them about 5 times before a response, annoying people and poor customer service. Put me out 25$.

If anyone is still looking to unlock I recommend the USB unlock method, you do it yourself and no IMEI nonsense required.
