[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
that is good

You are now on your way to having a rooted/custom rom.

1. find a rooted version of your kernel in 'settings>> "about phone"

2. backup EFS folder

3. find rom/flash rom

My rooted version is :2.6.35.7-i9000 BUJVA-CL220544 root@DELL102 #2 what to do with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkwing_X:
Just look for a rootet Kernel, like Semaphore, CF-Root, Midnight e.g.

Take the one for your firmware, and flash with Odin.

Or you could also look for the latest Stock Firmware and flash this before flashing the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rider17:
I did that and i rooted ,i used a CF-Root but i have a problem ,phone keep's restarting after booting up ,i used Odin 1.85 and CF-Root-XX-2.4 version,and the Android version on my device is :GINGERBREAD.BUJVA,it keep's showing me Vodafon blotware and restarting i described problem here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26698525#post26698525 .Please help me :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
Are you saying that you are getting a boot loop?

Can you get into Recovery or Download mode?

In recovery perform a factory reset (all apps and data will be erased. Internal SD card should be ok)

If this fails create a account at samfirmware.com and download the firmware for your phone/carrier/region

Once downloaded flash using Odin take note if it is a 1 file or 3 file (note you will need to extract from the downloaded zip to get to the Flash .TAR .PDA etc

1 file flash in PDA in odin

3 file is self explanatory

boot phone and once up and running attempt root flash again
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rider17:
I don't really know waht boot loop mean,but i can enter download and recovey mode,in fact i can enter the phone,but after using it for 5-6 seconds it reboots,do i need to do a EFS file backup?I tired wipe data/factory reset from recovery but it's the same still rebooting....????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rider17:
Thanks now it seem's fine and rooted :) now when the phone is rooted what i need to do to remove the Vodafon sign/blotware,put another ROM ?do i need to do EFS backup i read that thread that you send me but i don't know how to use adb shell,is there easier way to do it ? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
To remove Vodafon bloatware i use Titanium Backup locate vodafon app and Un-install (remove at your own risk)

Voda fone boot logo you can leave it there it is only boot images.

If you do not want to use the ADB way to backup the EFS folder you can use Terminial emulator from Google play and enter the commands directly into the emulator. This is the way that I backed up my EFS folder

$ su

# tar cvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs

(OR)

# busybox tar cvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs

$ su

# cat /dev/block/stl3 > /sdcard/efs_dev-block-stl3.img

(OR)

# busybox cat /dev/block/stl3 > /sdcard/efs_dev-block-stl3.img

Once you have the *.img and *.tar.gz you can copy them as normal to your computer.

I installed darky rom as base and i decided to install ICS slim ROM but i can't start flash from SD card i mean when i enter recovery and go to choose zip there is no my zip also i tried renameing it to update.zip, know maybe do you know maybe the problem ?also is there stock rom from Samsung which don't have any network blotwares,applications and etc a normal rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rider17:
Can you help me ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aadilnz:
You might have put the zip on your external sd card rather than on the phone, in CWM you will see an option "Choose zip from sdcard" and there will also be one that says "Choose one from external sdcard" (this might say internal, try it anyway)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rider17:
I did out files on SD card but it won't show it when i'm in recovery mod ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
place the files on the internal SD Card.

Remove the external so there is no confusion as to what card you place the file onto.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
I just found out about the Media Go program by Sony, which let's you sync music, video and pictures and view/play them.

It looks much better than Winamp and Mediamonkey, and works easier too.

Download at the Sony Website:

http://mediago.sony.com

It works with other brands too, a SGSII user reported this working great.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
It works with any Sony multimedia device,kinda surprised you found out about this now :p

also to add album art to mp3's use this program,all the players will read album arts correctly ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SharpnShiny:
Hi,

I've been using the program since it's launch a few years ago. I think it's visually the best program of it's kind...I agree it's easy to use and for phones it's pretty good software I think.

But...it duplicates songs a lot, and I don't always know why. I know that if I imported music by CD without connection to the internet, then look up song info in Media Go it keeps the old songs AND finds the info of the new songs...it duplicates some songs on my SD and I don't know why.

I've been chatting about this on the Sony Forum. Many 2011 Sony devices have a problem with version 2.1. No matter what your sync settings, every time you connect your phone it resyncs everything in your library...I've a lot of music/tv/podcasts...that's a nightmare. I wish I could tell it that some of my music is not music but actually podcasts.

Overall it's a great program, just a few issues left......

p.s. downgrade to version 2.0 if you have these problems, they go away, find it on softwareinformer.com past versions.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CaptainAbe:
Album art

I would like to ask, that do you know how to embed album art to the mp3 file itself (using Media Go)?

I know, that I can link album art, but it is not always embedded in the file.

My test is: I add the album art to the song properties is Media Go, and then play the music in VLC. If it shows the album art, then I assume it embedded.

I am running the 1.6 version (higher versions fail to retreive info from Gracenote database for me).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SharpnShiny:
Hi ^^ I think that will work; download album artwork, then sync to your device, the artwork becomes embedded after download is complete. Does that answer your question?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CaptainAbe:
I was hoping for a solution, that doesn't require to send my song to the device, but I'll definitely give this method a try!

Strange story: I had an album, which I set art to. Later, I use the 'VLC check" I mentioned before, and only 1 song had the art. So I selected all the songs in the album, and set the artwork for them together. After this, the covers were there with every song?!?! ... Tried to do this with other albums also, but without any luck. I have noooooo idea how this works anymore! :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CaptainAbe:
One solution

It worked!

Now I only have to send all my music to a device and transfer it back! :D

If someone has a solution, that doesn't include so much copying, please don't keep it to yourselves! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CaptainAbe:
Strange

Hi all!

I am having this strange issue, with one of my mp3-s.

I set the album art in MediaGo, and transfer it to my thumb drive to make it embedded.

After that, when I play the music from the thumb drive, an another picture is embedded, always the same one, which I don't even have.

I tried different downloads of the mp3, different drives, different pictures ... this keeps happening!

Anyone can think of a solution?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SharpnShiny:
Hi, one solution which usually works for artwork and playlist problems is deleted Android's build of those details. Go to apps, all apps, media storage, delete. Now restart the phone. Album artwork, thumbnails and playlists recount from the very start.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CaptainAbe:
I use a pendrive / storage unit / thumb drive / usb stick (or idk what you call it) for this embedding. But the mentioned same image gets embedded, even if I use a usb stick, that has never had that mp3 on it! ... this is why I'm confused

[HTC One S] Roman441:
No user with Protection Foil here?
[HTC One S] keinengel:
I've also been searching. I got the grey One S and find it slippery as hell.

I had a Zagg Invisible Shield for my Desire Z and tried to get one for the S, but the official distributor for Germany (schutzfolien-shop.com) didn't have it in stock. Looks like they got a new shipment, so I'll be ordering mine today. They're not cheap, but they work great and come with 30 year warranty.
[HTC One S] dlshadow:
And what will you do with 30years warranty ? By that time your phone will be an antique :)
[HTC One S] keinengel:
Great addition to the thread. I love such constructive comments! Kudos!

The 30yr warranty is an obvious exaggeration, probably thought out by the marketing team to hint at how much they trust their product. Nevertheless I'll choose an Invisible Shield over any of those Scotch Tape-based screen protectors that come in 6 or 10 packs.
[HTC One S] DouglasK:
My issues with the Zagg Invisible Shield protectors are:

If your fingers aren't perfectly dry, it feels sticky

It has a bit of a wavy texture that reduces the display quality on the phone.

They tend to dent / mar if something presses against them for a while when it's humid

Other than that, I do like them... they are indeed quite durable.

Hello ,

I have an one of this nice tool called MediaPad.

Until current time ( thanks to lot of Android programmers) i have found solution to all my problems (avi play problems etc.) in few minutes...

In hidden menu (Calc → ()()2846579()()= → ProjectMenuAct → Network settings → sim card lock → ..._DEACTIVE ) also look like no SIM lock exist ...

When the ICS finalize the installation ( my one are HUAWEI_S7-301u_FIRMWARE_android4.0_C232B002_General_Channel_05010YBX_ROOTED) the 'Restoring SIM data lock ..' appears

I came from Sensation also and I can confirm that the battery from HOS is way better than on the Sensation. I am a power user and my phone is near me all day long. With HOS I get approx 4.5 hrs screen on, 3G / WiFi always on , 1 hrs calls, internet browsing all day long + 1/2 hrs gaming session and my battery lasts from 7 am till 11 pm. At 11 pm I still get 10-15%. I guess if I was a medium to low user, the battery would last for 2 days for sure. With Sensation, with the same usage as mentioned above, I get from 7 am till 2 pm with indulgence (and I use a 1700mAh Momax).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kstarz:
Hey all,

First I would like to say this is not my work this is based off Nicandris's CM from scratch script (forum here).

This bash/sh script builds CM9 from source and is only to be used once the build environment and sources have been downloaded correctly. So far I have only tested this with my Galaxy Nexus on Mint 12 but it should work with other devices and on other distros.

Instructions:

1. Download the provided zip and extract it, then place "build.sh" in the "~/bin" directory (/home/user/bin).

2. Then open up "build.sh" using a text editor like gedit and edit the variables to suit your environment, EXAMPLE :

#Variables Start
#Enter Device Vendor Here eg "moto" or "samsung"
vendor="samsung"
#Enter Device Name Here eg "maguro" or "toro"
device="maguro"
#Enter Build Source Here (Usually "/home/user/android)"
source="/home/kstarz/android"
#Enter Folder Where You Want Builds To Be Stored eg "/home/user/Desktop/Builds"
build_location="/home/kstarz/Desktop/Builds"
#Enter Source For AndroidSDK eg "/home/user/androidsdk"
sdk_source="/home/kstarz/Programs/androidsdk"
#Enter Location Where The Build Will Be Sent To On Your Device
push_to_phone="/sdcard/Download"
#Enter Your Name/Nickname (For Modversion)
nick="kstars"
#Variables End

3. Then open up a terminal and give the file permission to be executed as a program:

chmod a+x ~/bin/build.sh

4. Close that terminal and open up a new one then enter the code below to start the script.

build.sh

The rest is up to you ;)

Screenshot:

I have tried to make this as simple as possible for users out there but if you have any issues I will try and respond.[/SIZE]

Full credits go to:

*Cyanogenmod* & *teamdouche* - For creating CM

*Nicandris* For creating the base for this script.

Ok so is the factory task manager the only way to kill apps? I hate having to click off each app individually cause if I click kill all it will kill important apps like my alarm clock. I used to have advance task killer but it was eating my battery. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cloudraker:
I havent verified if it actually kills the app or not, but if you hit the recent apps button (bottom right capacitive button) and swipe up on an application it removes it from that screen. Like i said though i havent checked if it kills the process the same as task manager does though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roryjoe:
Pretty sure this method is dependent on the app and whether it's programmed to run in the background or not. For example, if you do the swipe-up method with the Facebook application, the process is still running in the background. Other than a Task Killer, I'd imagine the only way is to go into the Applications menu under Settings, click on the task in question, and then click "Force Stop".
