[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Since quite a number of users are wondering whether our dear SGW is scratch-resistant, I sent an email to Samsung for clarification.

Surprisingly, it is made of Gorilla Glass:p Attached the proof.

Fyi, Gorilla glass has a Vickers hardness of 622–701 kgf/mm2 (for diamond is about 1000 kgf/mm2). Hence, it is quite hard generally.

However, I do not recommend u to do any scratch test on it. Especially Impact loading on it. Hard doesn't mean Tough. It may still crack.

For more info on Gorilla glass, please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glass

Second confirmation from Samsung Singapore.

Reply from Corning. This shows that some of the devices are actually using Gorilla glass but the manufacturers do not disclose this to consumers due to certain reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fender90:
I did manage to scratch it :P
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
haha, sure if u use something harder than it to scratch. Diamond is the hardest and practically "Perfect Scratch resistant". U can make a perfect screen for yourself. LOL:p

dude ull get alot of thanks cuz of this post :P :P :P
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] frnt:
glad to know :)

why don't they (samsung) publish it officially?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I also wonder why. but just like Iphone, they also don't announce officially what kind of material they used.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] artfelin1:
Wow..nice info for sure, so we can tell if our screen is made from gorilla glas ha ha ha

Edited. U can see it now.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] drei4stein:
Diamond can scratch it, right? It could happen to married women, relatively often...:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yes, of course. Other things like metals such as Titanium, Platinum, can scratch it too. Put those accessories away from the screen, just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] smhybrid:
thanks... really good to know it... :D

after 6 month using this SGW and little disappointed with the glass, finally i know that im buying perfect stuff for me... :D

thanks bro...

Does that mean i can use it without a screen protector?

Sent from my GT-I8150
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
U can do that but at ur own risk. Gorilla glass is not perfectly scratch resistant.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
Gorilla Glass is Scratch Resistant, thus it should be scratch-able, but with extra efforts, only by specific materials, or other requirements.

A Scratch Immune (Just for example), should be un-scratch-able. :D

response from Samsung Indonesia [image taken from kaskus]

which one is right?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:

Can u upload a better image which includes all the "samsung" logo and the email transaction number that showed this email is really from Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
I think I can guess guys, but can anyone provide a rough translation to English of that reply from Samsung Indonesia??

I believe that if the GT-i8150 had Gorilla Glass, Sammy would trumpet this from a great height!!! :p

Just sayin!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:

Here goes it had indicated the SGW does not come with a Gorilla Glass

....Hope this helps...

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
To be honest,if you've ever tapped a fingernail on the REAL Gorilla Glass on the GS2, you would notice it actually feels as solid as GLASS.In comparison, the screen of our Wonder feels more like plastic.This is just my real life observation.I doubt its Gorilla Glass but it IS scratch resistant.I've never used a screen protector...just the tiny hardly noticeable scratch so far:)

Sent from my Wonder
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
This was always NY impression to.

My son gotta iPhoney 4......it has GG.....

fingernail tap tells a lot!!!!

Damn.....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I have confirmed with Samsung Singapore Technical support again. It is using Gorilla Glass.

I guess the different "sense" when tapping is due to our phone's plastic body where as Iphone 4 and galaxy Ace are using metal casing body.

Please take a look that the 1st thread again.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
Sorry sir,

Is it true Iphone use GG as Galaxy S2 ?

I'm not pretty sure about that

This is the drop test between both phone:

[YOUTUBE]elKxgsrJFhw[/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I thinks "some" of the Iphone 4 is using gorilla glass. However, this is not officially acknowledged by Apple. This is probably because they may want to change the manufacturer of the screen in different regions.

This could be similar to our SGW too. Hence, I don't recommend u guys to try scratching the screen.

http://mashable.com/2012/01/05/gorilla-glass-2-is-coming/
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Jeez...I did'nt wanna get into a ding-dong with my son about this, and there are various accounts about iPhoney 4 screen all over the Internet.....some say it is, some say it isn't.

Maybe it's down to the name Gorilla Glass, which is just Cornings brand name for this particular manufactured strengthened alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass....:D

And perhaps our Sammy does have Gorilla Glass from Corning, they seem to have a relationship in Korea with Samsung......

I hope it is, but it really doesn't matter too much, to me at least, except for "bragging rights"....which don't interest me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
When I open rom manager, one of the options is to install rom from sdcard.. When you select this, I basically find most of the files that I have downloaded.. ie darkside's wipe, the leaked rom zip etc... But if I select Reboot into Recovery from within Rom Manager, I don't see darkside's wipe OR the leaked rom zip??

I'm not sure which elements should be Mounted amongst the various choices, once you have rebooted into recovery.. Currently some are Mounted & some are not???

Thanks :confused:

So I mounted sdcard, and tried to find the zips that I have downloaded... Nadda.

The downloaded zips that I am looking for are located here: /sdcard / download /

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
So mount emmc, got it.

When you say to use esExplorer, do you mean move the zips, ie; rom zip & darkside's wipe zip to the external sd card?

OK, so I found the zips that I was looking for in CWM in downloads.

Got another question.. In CWM, on the screen that has "choose a zip to apply" at the top (font is white)... And at the bottom of the screen I see "CWM Recovery v5. 8.1.3 AND below that I see "no files found" Is this because I haven't selected a zip.. OR do I have a problem??

For chefs ONLY !

Thats the reason I put it here, if that's wrong, please tell me and move to the correct forum.​

ROMAbout

This neat little app/package is intended to include in your ROM while building.

It will enable you to add important information about your ROM and credits.

It consists of a XAP, a Data folder with information and images and also an rgu that you have to customize for your particular ROM.

More information about the customization in the next posts.

Changelog

1.0.0.0 - 2012-03-30

- First public release.

1.1.0.0 - 2012-04-22

- Selected values are editable through list, text or slider.

Features I'm working on

- Letting the cooker add their own PanoramaItems by defining them in the ROMData.xml
[Windows Phone 7] IzaacJ:
Preparing for use in ROM !

Here you'll find information about how to prepare the XAP and the other files for your ROM.

The XAP contains a folder named Data that contains the ROMData.xml and images that are connected to the different entries in the ROMData.xml. More information about how to edit the ROMData.xml in the next post.

Edit the ROMData.xml and the RGU, and add some images (if used) to the Data folder in the XAP.

When you've edited the XAP and the RGU you HAVE to update the DSM so it reflects the changes. I recommend you to use OsBuilder by Barin and Ultrashot to do this.

Now the package is ready to be included in your ROM :)
[Windows Phone 7] IzaacJ:
ROMData.xml

Information about the ROMData.xml file and what you're able to do with it.

The ROMData.xml contains all information and/or registry paths to the information shown in the app.

The BEST way to get to understand this is by looking at the original ROMData.xml supplied in the unmodified XAP.

It is also attached to this post if you don't have the original.

To edit the description shown in the settingslist you change the <description> element. It could also be a registry path, preferably to a value defined in the RGU. As an example:

<description>{HKLM\RomAbout\Description}</description>

And here's the syntax for an item element:

<item image="[/Data/[NAME_OF_IMAGE]]" title="[NAME_OR_REGISTRY_PATH]" info="[TEXT_OR_REGISTRY_PATH]" other="[TEXT_OR_REGISTRY_PATH]" editable="[false/list/text/slider]" reqreboot="[true/false]" />

An example of an item without options could be something like this:

<item image="/Data/defIcon.jpg" title="{HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemDeviceName}" info="The OEM name of this device" other="{HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemName}" editable="false" reqreboot="false" />

An example of an item with options could be something like this:

<item image="/Data/defIcon.jpg" title="{HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemDeviceName}" info="The OEM name of this device" other="{HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemName}" editable="text" reqreboot="false">

<option title="Please enter your desired OEM name" path="HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemName" description="The OEM name affects which OEM market you can access, f.ex HTC gives you access to HTC's market" value="HTC"/>

</item>

When using a registry path, the hive is

ALWAYS

shortened down !

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = HKLM

HKEY_CURRENT_USER = HKCU

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = HKCR

HKEY_USERS = HKU
[Windows Phone 7] IzaacJ:
The RGU

Information about the RGU included in the package.

The RGU contains some registry values that you could use in the ROMData.xml.

You really should edit these values and maybe add some of your own.

The examples are all stored in HKLM\RomAbout but you could specify your own path, just make sure you use the same paths in ROMData.xml.

The default values in the RGU are just examples. You could name them to whatever you want, just point to them in the ROMData.xml.

There will soon be an update (that won't require updated files if you won't use the new features) that allows the user to edit values, either by manually inputting a string or selecting a value from a listbox. That's up to the cooker :P

[Windows Phone 7] IzaacJ:
Done some progress with the editing. Will probably upload a new version soon that enables editing values by selecting from list, entering text or from a slider for the numeric values. Already done with the list options, and almost done with the text also.

Regards

Izaac
[Windows Phone 7] ahmedfikry:
Thanks

[Windows Phone 7] IzaacJ:
Just uploaded the new version and edited all the posts :)

I'm feeling a bit done with this project as it fullfills my personal needs, but I will keep on doing some work and improvements on it.

Feel free to ask for new features that I could implement.

I'd love to add a list with ROMs that features this app to the first post, so please either post or PM me a link to your thread and I'll link it here :)

EDIT: I'm going to update it for WP 7.8 and add LiveTiles support, for small, medium and large tiles. What information would you guys like to see on the tiles?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jerrypcon:
Hey guys, just wanna say, i'm a big fan of this community and its things like XDA that make the Internet the irreplaceable tool that it is.

Just have a quick question. I have noticed that CWM recovery has an option to just restore the DATA partition of a previous NAND backup. If i were to restore an ICS data partition from one ICS ROM to another ICS ROM from another dev, would it mess up the normal functioning of the phone?

Thanks for responses.:):)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
Yes it would, most likely not a good idea. Doing that is the same as not wiping between flashes, so it might work, but not very well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Agree^

You could still try but if you so make a fresh backup first lol

If it does anything like what titanium backup does when you restore system data then it will probably just bung stuff up but I can't say for sure cause I haven't tried it

Pin it to Win it.

Am using the AAHT to root my DHD. Since its software number is 3.13. ,it prompted me to allow a downgrade which i did. SO it downloaded the zip file and pushed it to the root of my Sd card. But after when my device reboots, it doesnt downgrade.it tells me to hold the vol up and press the power button. When i do this it takes me to the blue recovery menu.it then tells me to press the power button again. After i do that it deisplays in the command promt that is downgrading but nothing happens. the phone instead boots into the bootloader and stays there forever. Am using a 64bit pc..please can anyone help me????/:confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scifitrekkie:
Can you boot into recovery via "adb fastboot recovery"?

Before that I would pull battery and. Then holding volume down power on this should take you to recovery.

If you took a backup, try reflashing that.

I have rooted a number of HDs without downgrading so I would search google more.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwartey:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scifitrekkie:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwartey:
it does start normally.the phone is ok...and i also did run as administrator
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scifitrekkie:
Great at least phone still works..

. It could be a faulty download .. did you confirm MD5 of download before saving to.SD and commencing.

I would google a little more, you should be.able.to find a way to root without downgrading I.have done a.few and I have never downgraded to root.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwartey:
ok. so am wondering if i can flash the firmware i downloaded in the zip format which is abt 100mb form the sd card through the recovery.is iy possible????
