modem.bin can only be accepted in the PHONE slot.

.tar.md5 (even if they just contain modem.bin) can be accepted in the PDA slot. Actually until you tried it, I didn't know they could be accepted in the PHONE slot as well.

I make my packages to always use the PDA slot to reduce confusion of having to remember which slot to use.

If you flash the wrong file in the PHONE slot, your phone won't boot (but can still go to ODIN DL mode), so it is safer to use the PDA slot if the file can be used in the PDA slot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lexvdub1:
I'll remember that for future reference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syphex:
Damn it still has an issue with multiple exchange accounts. I just flash it over and everything was fine. I added one account with out any issues and then I added my second account and then it froze up and threw up an error message stating the exchange services had a problem and they were both gone again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Do I want to Odin the FD05 first before the FD02+CWM-Rogue? Whenever I did that it switched to the FD02 Kernel. Should I Odin the FD05 after the FD02+CWM-Rogue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you install FD02+CWM-Rogue, it'll be the FD02 kernel, but it should work find. The ICS kernels are often interchangeable.

If you really want to have matched kernel/modem/ROM, install FD02+CWM-Rogue, do your CWM operations, then install FD05 back in place.

Auto Root makes it easier to do this because all the kernels are already there for you so you just select from a menu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Thanks sfhub, you're the best. I can have a little OCD with the numbers needing to match up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JordanMitch:
if im on el 29 do i need to install this, also should i disable ota updates, and if so how?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
el29 is still considered great, by most standards, as long as you are ok with gingerbread.

this is a Test Build, leaked from Samsung/Sprint testing, and has (very minor, in my opinion) bugs. so no, you do Not "need to install this", at all.

there are apparently issues with exchange email, and issues with notification sounds disappearing.

my simple advice is this: if you've never used Ice Cream Sandwich based android, and not interested in using a custom build (like cyanogen, AOKP, Codename), and don't have time to deasl with a few small bugs, hold off!

once you start using ICS, you'll be hooked. ;)

I can never go back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yeah yeah:
Anyone have any sudden reboot issues? I flashed this on Tuesday, and today while I was driving to work, I looked at my phone and it was in the middle of rebooting. Anyone else have this issue? I have a habit of opening the new task manager and swiping all the apps to close when I'm done with them. Thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
i've had no sudden reboots of any kind, personaly, on sfhubs oneclicks. and i've got like 190+ apps installed. i ran the fd05 for several days straight. (just upgraded to fd10)

and that list you're swiping? it's not the task manager, it's just recent apps.

while it does no harm to swipe away, it does nothing good either. unnecessary with the amount of ram in this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yeah yeah:
You sure? I thought holding the home button down, and swiping applications away was the same as opening the task manager and closing all active applications. Either way, only had the sudden reboot once (that I'm aware of). Before FD05, I was on FD02, and never had the issue. I'll move to FD10 when I get home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DANIEL133337:
Is anyone else having issues with Odin stopping at <ID:0/006> modem.bin?? I cannot get it to finish :\ Someone help please!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It takes around 2 minutes to flash the modem. Have you waited a longer than that?

If it just hangs there, I would try a different cable and then a different computer if that doesn't help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DANIEL133337:
Yes I have waited about 15 minutes, different cables, ports and everything! Very strange. I am going to attempt to separately Odin everything. Thanks for the response!

EDIT:

Just attempted Odin on everything separately and the Kernel and Rom+Root went through fine, but as soon as I attempt the Modem it still hangs!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Sometimes switching PCs helps.

If not, I would say try flashing the modem in CWM. You can find the CWM update.zip for the FD10 modem in my signature.

You'll need to install CWM first, using Auto Root or Mobile ODIN. Just use FD02+CWM-Rogue as that is the latest repack. When you are done, you can put back FD10 kernel if you want to have the versions match up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2insane:
Ok Arghhhh

Ok after switch to ICS its starting to be good and bad. I see they added a auto add app to home screens. How can I stop that. It is getting annoying. I have some blanks on the Main Screen and want it that way, but every time I add a new app Bam its there and I have to delete the icon. I looked and looked in the settings. How can I fix this???? I know it has to be possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
...Not a part of ICS. Its a part of the Market 3.5.15 and above. Its in the market settings always the second checked check box when nothings been configured i forget exactly what it says.

I installed the 1-click NODATA version.... Anyone experiencing any heating issues or reduced battery life ?.... I am and was wondering if you guys have any solution for that...

Besides that ICS works great.... Thanks, you guys are the best !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If it is hot it is because some app is running constantly. That sometimes happens when the data is not what it is expecting.

I would just flash the full version that resets data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaFingr:
Ohk please help.... im facing a problem here.... I tried to reflash the version that Resets Data....Im stuck on the data.img part in ODIN .... what do i do ? :O
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Did you do any ROM flashing or factory resets using ICS-based custom recovery? Did you happen to use ROM Manager to install CWM Touch and do some operations?

That is usually what corrupts your data partition rendering it unwritable for any of the restore tools, including ODIN, ODIN OneClick, Mobile ODIN, CWM, etc.
[HTC One X] Dangry:
I dont understand if the one x is supposed to be "flagship" then why does the titan II have a 16mp camera? I know quite a few people that base their smartphone purchase on the camera, most of them like the One because of the android OS but none of us understand why the supposed flagship phone got the dookie end of the stick? Why would HTC waste a 16mp camera on a Windows phone?

That's it, I'm getting a Galaxy note.... Wasn't sure before but I'm not a fan of non-removable batteries or sd cards but IMO that camera decision was kinda bunk...
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
get a nokia if you're into MP porn

http://europe.nokia.com/pureview
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
Great, thanks for letting us know. Bye...!

Oh, before you go....what was your point exactly? Is it that the best camera is one with the highest number of megapixels?
[HTC One X] Basil3:
Why waste your time coming here to say this?

My D50 DSLR (7 years old) takes 6MP pics. Do you think my one x takes better pictures?
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Quality of the camera , software and function are more important than just resolution.
[HTC One X] kirdroid:
Megapixel is just a number doesn't mean it has a better camera. I think one x's image processing is still better than titan 2.
[HTC One X] nageshmodhvadia@gmail.com:
Now now Guys - I am sure we can all get along.

Here you go mate:

http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-808-pureview

I am sure your world will be a lot better if you go higher MPs.
[HTC One X] x3phyr:
Megapixels are just a number. They have NOTHING to do with the quality of the picture.

Megapixels have to do with the SIZE of the picture. With an 8 megapixel camera you're already shooting photos with 6 million more pixels than a FULL HD monitor.

8 megapixel camera res: 3264x2448 = 7990272pix

Full HD monitor res : 1920*1080 = 2073800pix

Titan II 16 MP Camera Res = ~16000000pix

There is currently no display in the consumer world that uses 16 MILLION pixels.

The only benefit in larger megapixel cameras is microsampling and downsizing to create the illusion of maybe a crisper image, zoom in? And it's mediocre at best.

The quality of the shots are determined by the sensors, ISO, image processor, etc etc.

NOT MEGAPIXELS.

/rant

P.S. Have fun with your mediocre display and overall, outdated Galaxy Note.
[HTC One X] Dangry:
WOW....

What a bunch of beautiful people we have here... LMAO! I would like to think that a higher MP camera with the same software and as is on the One X would be the better camera... I understand the point about MP being just a #.... So you're telling me that if the One X had a 16mp camera it would make no difference?

And although I respect being loyal to your phone of choice there really is no call to come here and act like a douchebag and respond like this. It's not like I called your phone a steaming pile and I didn't post here to start any sh%#, I was just trying to figure out why HTC would do this and how others felt about it?

Happy Easter...
[HTC One X] x3phyr:
The main thing that changes the quality of the picture is the amount of light the sensor lets in. The backside illuminated f/2.0 aperture allows for more light to come in and therefore better performance in low light. The f/2.2 in the Titan II does not have that luxury. That f/2.0 aperture is one of the main reasons the camera on this phone is so great, aside from ImageSense.

All douchebaggery aside, we're just trying to make you realize that it's not all in the mega-pixels.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
It's all about the Mega Pixies....:p
[HTC One X] Dangry:
Okay...

Thanks....

Just felt like I was under attack, like I insulted someones mom and it made me think of why I quit using certain RoM's; because some of the people on the boards would come out acting all hard talking smack from the safety of the internet and try to make you look stupid for asking genuine questions. I just have no stomach for that behavior, no matter how "stupid" the question.

I work in production for a marketing company and we always use/ask for the largest image possible because it's easier to shrink and image and make it look stellar than it is to blow one up so, to me, a higher MP camera might be a bigger draw... I guess I need to hyper explain myself next time or else suffer the consequences. LOL

Either way, thanks those of you that weighed in and didn't blow a gasket....

Suppose we can delete this thread now..
[HTC One X] x3phyr:
All that aside, I still feel you'd be happier with a One X than a Galaxy Note, given you could get over the non-removable battery and sd slot.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
either way, your question "Why would HTC waste a 16mp camera on a Windows phone?" was addressed in the wrong forum.
[HTC One X] randypurcz:
I have been through several Gnotes, and the HTC camera on the OneX is much better IMHO - so, even without the 16MP, you will still be coming up short. I really loved the Note, but it was just too big. For me the size was it's greatest aspect, and it biggest shortcoming (if that makes sense).
[HTC One X] Dangry:
you got me....

"Why would HTC waste a 16mp camera on a Windows phone?" was a rhetorical question and wasn't the main point of my post. I was more addressing that if the One X was supposed to be the flagship phone why not make it a flagship phone and put a bigger camera and why not a bigger battery while we're at it.

Then it turned into a "torch the doofus that is concerned with the # of MP" thread. So if a question about the cameras MP on the One X not belonging in the "One X General" forum then I apologize and ask humbly for forgiveness...

But...

I get the feeling that you are trying to validate yourself for being rude? Or curt, which ever you like. So if it's in the wrong place flag it, move it or better yet ignore it... Hey, "ignoring it", now there's an idea I can get behind.
[HTC One X] Dangry:
tough call

I am shy of HTC battery to begin with so the non removable is a bit scary... My experience with HTC and their battery life is not good but before a spare battery on the go was a nice option. The camera looks great and I have always been happy with HTC as far as that goes. Taking pictures while shooting video is a stellar option because I shoot a lot of video and not having to grab stills at home on the PC sounds great, but running out of space or juice to shoot would render that all moot...

It's the size and S pen that I like about the Note, the 2500 battery is nice too... I will keep reading these forums and jumping around the ol youtube till I get in the store for my own "Hands on" testing.

Thanks for the reply!

I think we can delete this thread now....... :D
[HTC One X] Basil3:
This board has been full of whinging and moaning for the last few days. Your post wasn't in any way constructive, if anything it could be viewed as inflammatory.

There needs to be a "general" board and a "general moaning" board :)
[HTC One X] Dangry:
Please for the love of gawd, delete this thread! I had no idea.... This is classic.
[HTC One X] amacrobie:
The one x camera is very good, nicer stills and faster autofocus than the note / s2. Lack of memory card slot isn't an issue when images can go straight to dropbox either.

Also, being a long time dslr user and understand very well the importance of lens & sensor size v megapixel count. 8mp on a good sensor means you don't have to make the images smaller to make them crisper, I have plenty of 5mp images that, when printed, are very similar quality to those obtained from my old 5d and now, d7000. Good choice of lens and adequate light are more important than mp count. Fwiw, the one x lens appears to be well above average for a phone and better than many point and shoots .

Hope that helps some.
[HTC One X] LTavaress:
we are trying to say that when a camera is good it's not just because of the megapixels, the camera works as a whole, which would be: lens size, f aperture, imaging processor, camera sensor, megapixels, etc etc.

Having 16mp (or 41, or 200) is only useful if you are going to crop your picture (also a lot useful for digital zooming), or do ultra-sized banners or work with something like that. More megapixels does make the image more detailed, but it's not something you're going to miss!!!

When I was taking my one week photography course (yes, it was only one week so I don't know almost anything about photography) one of the things I learnt was that the amount of megapixels a normal person (you and me) needs on a camera is only 5mp!!! (the image that is formed in our retina is sized at 5mp if I'm right)

So we don't really need those 8mp in the One X. But if you're looking for a great cameraphone from HTC with high megapixels you should go for the amaze 4g, just remember that the One X is not just a great (not the best) camera, but also a superb screen (the best, yes), fast processor, beautiful design etc...

Buying a phone only because of it's camera is not a very wise decision, you should do it if you are deeply in love with photography but in that case I would recommend you bought a professional camera.

Hope I cleared your thoughts
[HTC One X] TerryMathews:
Said another way, you need 5M good pixels. Whether you need a 5M, 10M, or 15M sensor to get 5M good pixels depends on the quality of the sensor and the lens.

Generally image quality tracks more with sensor size than anything else. A 20mm 5MP sensor is going to produce images noticeably better than a 10mm 10MP sensor.
[HTC One X] angler:
This might explain what I have questioned about. Nokia has put a good sensor in its Pureview line and likely to implement this into its WP next year. I wonder is the sensor in One X is the best in HTC's lines? Does the sensor work the best together with chip of One's line?
[HTC One X] fredaroony:
Your OP came across as a rant so if you had worded it different you may have gotten some different responses.
[HTC One X] tnt23:
kind of understand your point

if they have 16mp available why not give to us also...

coming from a touch pro 2 which was supposed to be the pro smartphone of its era...but was far from having the best processor when it came out...

its my fouth or fifth htc phone (replacement every 2-3 years)

i always found big flaws to my phone...

wasnt sure about buying the X...(no sd+ no battery replacement and expecting major software issues, lag or unstability)

but one thing is sure...after messing around with it for 2 days..i dont regret
[HTC One X] LTavaress:
The only real purpose of nokia's pureview is extreme digital zooming.

In my opinion the HTC Amaze 4g has managed to produce better photo quality than the One X, but it's rumored that HTC will release an update for the One X this week that will improve camera quality, we'll see then.

The One X has the same camera of the One S and better camera than the One V, if that's what you were wondering about

UPDATE: PDROID NOW AVAILABLE VIA BOTBREW:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26033156&postcount=10

First, for those who haven't heard about it:

PDroid

PDroid ICS Port

At this point, as far as I can tell, PDroid is only available as a patchset, not in any rom.

It looks like it is a lot more powerful than CM Permission Management.

The purpose of this poll is so Vibrant users can show interest in a rom with PDroid built in, hopefully motivating rom devs to add it.
[Vibrant General] jellette:
I'll check this out tonight - looks interesting.
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
I'm not set up to develop at present, but I'll try any CM or ICS open-source rom that has this built-in, or an open-source zip to hot-patch it into said roms.
[Vibrant General] c-pimp:
Yeah pdroid looks awesome! I asked about this in slim forum and cm forum somewhere around here but got no love lol... its really awesome permission management and if they add a firewall it would be a must need app that I would love to buy... you can use it with droidwall but it has leaks and allows access before it loads up on reboot... pdroid could block that from the start if it had a firewall incorporated tho... I look forward to the development of this awesome app.
[Vibrant General] c-pimp:
Looks like we might get a try ourselves with an ics patcher in the not so far off future
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
An ICS patch does appear to be in the works.

As for CM, you're right, it will never have PDroid, and I'm really beginning to wonder if they will even bring any permission management into CM9. If you look at the PDroid patch, it's not a huge amount of code, meaning if Google wanted android to allow privacy, they would have added it long ago. But the frankly rather seedy business model of Google and many "free" app writers and Facebook is the harvesting and selling of personal information, and they apparently threatened to cut CM off from Market access if they added strong privacy.

Clearly the long-term solution is Google-free phones running Debian or Ubuntu, but until then, there's PDroid.

Pdroid Linux patcher ported and working for aokp and cm9
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:

[Vibrant General] closedcircuit:
Pdroid working for AOKP and CM9

PDroid is finally available for AOKP and CM9 on T959 Vibrant via botbrew. Follow instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24934484&postcount=123 big thanks to mateorod for porting it over.
[Vibrant General] mateorod:
Hey guys-

UPDATE 6-5-12

I haven't had any requests for updated packages except for AOKP, so I can only confirm that AOKP Build 40 and CM7rc2 are currently supported! Any other ROMS are at your own risk! If you would like a ROM for vibrant or any other device to be supported, please post a request.

Okay, this is directions for PDroid support through Botbrew. Installing these packages over your nightlies will get PDroid working each time you flash, without having to patch every time. This way you can update your rom whenever you want.

Here is the XDA frontpage article about this exact process!

IMPORTANT:

Eventually, the source code for these ROMs will change to a large enough degree that the packages won't work anymore! Just reflash the ROM and come report here at the thread. I will update the package as soon as possible (usually pretty damn soon, if I do say so myself...)

Directions

Install Botbrew from Google Play

Botbrew will bootstrap some packages necessary for its operation.

Install package repository-mateorod and

press the refresh button

.

There are three packages available at the moment for the Vibrant. Install the package that matches the ROM you are using.

android-framework-pdroid-cm9

For Cyanogen9 ROMs

android-framework-pdroid-aokp

For AOKP Milestone builds

android-framework-pdroid-aosp-gummy

For Team Gummy AOSP builds

New!

android-framework-pdroid-cm7.2final

For CM7.2 Final!

YOU MUST install the package that corresponds with your ROM, or it will result in bootloops!

Reboot!

Launch PDroid and configure.

That's it!

Note: You won't see any of the packages if you look while running CM7 due to an inconsistency in the cm7 build.prop.

If you have any questions about Botbrew or the process, here is a Q&A I have at the thread for my packages I host for the Nook Color.

If you have any questions about PDroid and the port to ICS, here is pastime1971's thread on the process. Thanks pastime!

Also thanks to c-pimp for the Team Gummy files! Also to svyat for PDroid and inportb for Botbrew!

cashmundy- could you maybe put a note in the OP about this being here? If you think I should start a new thread, I will. Thanks!
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
I confirm this is working with the 5-12 CM9 nightly. Thanks to mateorod and everyone he thanks in the post above!
[Vibrant General] mateorod:
Thanks, cashmundy. The problem was that cm9 has a weird naming convention for just your device, at least unique as far as I have seen.

I just changed the package to reflect your arch.conf.

So thanks very much for testing and finding the problem. I am pretty sure everything is OK now, but let me know!
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
Still on CM9. Did a reset, installed botbrew and your repo, and I now have no pdroid package.

As expected, botbrew fetched the CM9 props on install

, except that it down-cased the model to "sgh-t959".

arch.conf:

arch	all	10

arch	any	20

arch	noarch	30

arch	armeabi	100

arch	armeabi-v7a	110

arch	sgh-t959	120

build.props:

ro.product.model=SGH-T959

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=SGH-T959

ro.product.device=SGH-T959

ro.product.board=aries

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
[Vibrant General] mateorod:
Okay man. I took out the sgh-t959 package because I thought you said cm9 had vibranttmd as arch.

Are you saying that it changes whether or not you install cm9 as an update? Cause I don't see how that would be.

I am going to make it so Botbrew has cm9 packages for sgh-t959 and vibrantmtd. We'll sort it out for good later tonight when I have some time.

Thanks for your time and effort testing this stuff!
