AFAIK, each .pit file works for one or more ROMs. Again, I'm not 100% knowledgeable here, but it looks (to me) like the .pit file defines partitions for Odin to make on your device before flashing. I used to *always* make sure I had a .pit file to go with my ROM, then I found that I mostly didn't need one. If you're trying to resurrect your phone "from the dead", as it were, it's probably a good idea, but mostly, even though there are a couple of .pit files out there, there seems to be little variance between the ones I've come across. I would typically only use one if I can't seem to get a ROM on without out or if the package I got the ROM in recommended it.

As for your current ROM, I really recommend giving CyanogenMod another go -- it made a world of difference on my i9000 -- speed of device, battery, themes, usability. If you can get Clockwork Recovery on your phone, then it's easy to install. I also recommend checking out DarkyROM as they provide a really nice ROM for the S1 which installs Clockwork Recovery as part of its install process. Indeed, I would say that installing DarkyROM and then CM10 is the path of least resistance for getting CyanogenMod on an S1. Give it a go if you're up for it -- you won't regret it (: Just bear in mind that your very first boot (DarkyROM and CyanogenMod) may take a few minutes each -- try to be patient and just let the phone do its thing (:

Hi Davidm,

I have follow your advise and I have installed DarkyRom but I went with CM9, it made a huge difference on my SGS, it is running very smooth and I have noticed as well that the size of the RAM increased as well from 329 to 389MB so there is no more lagging issues.

Thank you once again fro your advise.

Some threads mentioned Unlocked phone, i'd like to know what does it mean, and whats the different between it and locked phone?

Sorry, i should post this question in Q&A forum. pls help to move.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
By unlocked phone it is either the bootloader on the phone is unlocked or as I am more familiar with as I don't tamper with my phones. Is a phone that you can use any networks sim card in it
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amd5511:
Unlocked SIM

I am not sure but in countries like US almost every phone is been released by mobile network vendors to promote them with emi and other options. Its a locked phone and cannot be used with other providers, but in other countries like India phone can be used with any vendors of customers choice, thats unlocked phone.Thank you
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Unlocked means you can use any sim with it ( any carrier, tarrif etc ).

Unlock bootloader means you can put custom firmware on it without any hacking etc.

Locked phone will work only on the carrier it came from - if you buy locked phone from T-Mobile, it won't accept O2's sim-card unless you unlock it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WibblyW:
I have a completely stock, unrooted N4. If I side load 4.2.2...

Will it clear my data (OTA doesn't as far as I know)?

Will I still be offered an OTA update the next time around (next update)/will it install ok having done a side load this time?

In other words, does side loading a stock image on a stock phone result in any different experience than waiting for it to happen on its own, OTA?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guggi4:
At least it wont delete your data, i also sideloaded the update.

On a regular basis (at least once a day), I lose Network connectivity.

The Upstream/Downstream arrows disappear, but I still have 4-5 bars.

Happens Indoors & Outside

Applications report no Network available.

I don't have any power saving apps that disable networks

Android Power saving is disabled.

I'm on 4.1.2, (Vodafone Stock ROM, Unlocked) and this has been happening for a while - from ICS 4.0.1, I believe.

I switched from T-mobile to GiffGaff (O2 UK), but I can't remember if this was happening before the switch.

Unable to make call ("Not registered on Network") when this happens.

Sometimes a toggle of the "Mobile Data" button works, sometimes toggling to "Flight mode" works.

More often than not, this requires a restart. Always fixes it immediately,

Other O2/GiffGaff users are unaffected, so not a network issue.

Any idea if this is an S3 issue, a GiffGaff (O2) issue (any other sufferers on different handsets), or a combination of both?!

I like Seesmic because it's working awesome on my phone, Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570, but when I try to update my status, it says updating, then when wall is refreshed my new status isn't there. I 've checked on PC too and no status update. Seesmic has all premisions for facebook so that's not the problem. What could it be?

If cannot be fixed can you suggest a similar app? I've tried HootSuite, TweetDeck, Fast For Facebook, FriendCast but they are featureless or doesn't work as well as Seesmic. FriendCast seems to be nice but it takes a long time to show pictures on my phone, with Seesmic I didn't had that problem plus I could've disabled profile pictures.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Spigot:
On ICS we had:

/mnt/sdcard -> internal

/mnt/external1 -> SD card

On JB I now see:

/sdcard -> internal

/mnt/sdcard -> internal

/storage/sdcard0 -> internal

/storage/sdcard1 -> SD card

So the first 3 paths for JB above are all mirrors to the internal memory. I'm not sure whether ICS had similar mirrors, maybe it did.

But the important thing is that the SD card path has changed, so any apps you may have configured with a path to the SD card on ICS might not find the data after JB update.

That happened to me with BackCountry Navigator because I had changed the path to local maps, but NavFree, which I hadn't changed, just found the SD card anyway.

Haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere, so if your apps misbehave after updating, this might be why.

Hello,

I've accumulated a nice pile of clockworkmod backups over the past three years. However, I have no idea which on goes with what device, etc. I'm hoping there's a way to pull device info from a backup. I'm mostly interested in device model and ROM info. My google-fu is weak this morning as I'm just not finding anything that seems to be what I'm looking for.

I came across "unyaffs", but I think that's more for pulling single apks out. Which I have zero use for. I can't seem to find a working link anyway.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've flashed the v1.1 beta special edition of the recovery (thanks - much better than "vanilla" CWM), but adb doesn't seem to be working.

I get "error device not found" when in hboot or recovery. Fortunately fastboot does work, so there's a way to flash a new recovery...

adb works fine when the phone is booted normally (i.e. I've got adb installed correctly and have used it many times)

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,

since i found some time and i'm not happy with my ROM, i decided to make my own. So before doing this there are lots of questions for me and i hope someone will find the time and patience to answer them.

1. If i do something wrong with the ROM can this destroy my Desire? I just want to mak a Custom ROM not Kernel or something like this.

2. At first i only want to change designe. Do i need some Programms for this? With WinRar i can extract the apks. Can i only change the picture files, and put them back into the apk?

3. Will apps from other ROMs work with my ROM? e.g. The HTC_IME?

4. Where can i get a "clean" HTC Sense ROM? I'm looking to make my changes with the latest official release from HTC. Is there a flashable ROM where i can do my changes?

For first i think that's it.

Thanks very much in advance

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Re: How to program custom ROM

If you want the stock 2.3 rom, check my sig. The PB99IMG has the rom itself in it.

Sense apps work only on sense roms, because they require the sense framework. You can take apps from other sense roms, and they will work.

If you just want to be a zip-dev, then you only need winrar and notepad.

You can't ruin your phone by flashing roms, even broken ones.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HandyBesitzer:
Thank you very much :D

So about the apps. I can take the HTC_IME from a Sense 4.x and Android 4.X and use it with the Stock? That's great :D

Is there something i need to do with the PG99IMG.zip, because i don't want to loose my root :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Re: How to program custom ROM

Sense 4 only works on ics. You could take the designs from it, i think...

You just take the pb99img, extract the system files from it, and then you mod away.

Or you could just take a stock rooted rom, and begin with that.

So the last line i understand very good. It hasn't worked :D Can someone tell me, what is wrong with the zip?

I only deleted some apps from the zip, changed the build.prop a little bit, deleted some sound.mp3 and added some new to it.

And i removed the bootsound file. That's it and than i flashed the zip.
