My Legend, which I bought sim-free / network-free / unbranded does not tell me I'm due for upgrade, therefore I'm still running 1.31.405.5

Surely if it's a genuine HTC update [which it is], why is it not an OTA update?
[Legend General] mtrax:
just need to clarify when running these updates ,

Q1. do they clear phone, eg installed apps, address book , settings etc..

Q2. I have a european phone can I install WWE?

Q3. does phone need to be rooted to load these ROMs?
[Legend General] NightKry:
It's available OTA? I got my Legend in Canada from Bell/Futureshop, but I use it on Rogers... Would I still get notified for the OTA update? Or do I need to put in a Bell simcard?
[Legend General] c_man:
Available OTA now....:D Mines downloading...:cool:
[Legend General] orouborus:
most probably it is still not available in your country / region. we still dont have the updates in asia as well.. :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Hatman41:
I have searched for a ringtone creator program and everything that I see says that Ringdroid is the best free one out there but the issue I have with that app is that it only reads from my SD card. As I have an incredible I have all my MP3's stored on my phone's 8 gig internal storage as I do not have a large SD card so I am looking for a good ringtone creator that will see my internal storage on my phone. Anyone know of any good one?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] money226:
The incredible has a ringtone creator built in. When listening to a song in the stock music app hit menu, set as ringtone and it will give you an option to trim it.

Oh great I did not even know this. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Damn_Smooth:
Just make sure that you don't force close your people app or the phone won't remember your ring tone.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] invisiblek:
ringdroid will cut them too. its in the market
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
Did you seriously not read the guys post/question at all? He specifically said that ringdroid won't do what he needs it to do....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheSSJ:
As the title says ^^

try the m7 exploit and depending on the kernel version this can work...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] socket84:
The problem is that the "xda scientists" doesn't have the i9000 n(yet).

So i think that we need to wait 'ntill the official release in every contry...

I'm waitin' some online shop, in Italy it's will came out at the end of June...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MacaronyMax:
2 days for uk i think , i dont know if its usa or uk now i think of it but its released somwhere on the 15th june

Sorry Of Topic:

omdzz did anyone see usa v uk in world cup poor green he shudve saved it :D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
tried, it doesnt work, just got into an endless loop of "usage: reboot... "
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] us1111:
Hmm.. That's kinda strange.. According to source code the "/system/bin/reboot reboot -h 0" command should execute

char *argv[] = {"reboot","-h",0};
char *envp[] = {"",0};
child = fork();
if(child == 0) {

execve("/system/bin/reboot",argv,envp);

}

Not sure why the "reboot" is passed as a parameter? However, this could be due to the nature of the exploit..

This is the root prompt! If you get stuff like this:
# usage: reboot ...
usage: reboot ....
usage: reboot ...

Just keep your cool, press enter and the # will pop again. This is due the exploit spawning reboots to gain the shell.

Maybe let the program run for a longer time? The i9000 is a fast processor where race conditions may be more seldom (my own theory).

http://www.thefuzz4.net/home/AndroidPhones/HTCTattoo/HowtorootHTCTattoo.aspx

By the way.. Could you maybe do a "adb shell uname -a"?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
uname not found on system

It loops the reboot message but once in a while, it will show this:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leoon:
Best news of the day

I hope he can root it

Now just need the North American version to come out in Canada
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MacaronyMax:
Is it currently not out in canada then yet ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BTTNext:
No, I don't even think a carrier has been announced here. The AT&T version would work here though, whenever that comes out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leoon:
Any news from PaulOBrien?

Nothing... i've add him on twitter...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:

I got root and created a custom rom because samsung had too much bloatware and the heptic feedback sucked. I havent got tethering to work yet though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
Nice!! when can we expect a custom ROM for testing? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] socket84:
Ahahahahahaha, are you joke? Have you gain root? Have you make a full dump??

Ahahahahahah

I'm not stupid man... if is true post some images (superuser, busybox, root, dumped image, etc...)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leoon:
Someone said that hes getting the HTC Wildfire or whatever the phone is called.. and said that he gets a lot of phones.. I hope that he can focus on one and eventually root the Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DonAndress:
I'm new to all this "getting root" thing so can you please explain me if this is something required only "once in a lifetime" or it has to be done each time Samsung releases new version of Android?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shaneaus:
Gaining root is only necessary once - UNLESS, you decide to go back to an original configuration and install a ROM/kernal that restores the lack of root.

Gaining "Root" on an Android device simply means that software/apps/code is allowed to alter core operating system files.

My suggestion is once root is gained - NEVER install anything that will remove that access. There are too many apps that access root that are great!

I use one called AdFree which blocks the download of ads from known sites. So, when one browses the internet or uses ad-supported apps - a large percentage of the add images/files won't download because they are blocked. This saves on data usage and decreases load times.

There are a lot of other uses for root - such as being able to customize your GUI, install custom ROMS, etc.

I have a G1 and would have long ago been very frustrated with it if it had not been for root access and the CyanogenMods (and, the ones that came before - THANKS JesusFreake!). My G1 is running Android 2.1 faster than it ever ran 1.5!

As an ATT customer - rooting the Galaxy S is ESSENTIAL for me to purchase the device! It will mean I will be able to beta test apps. I beta tested Quickdesk recently and many others. I can also delete all the ATT bloatware!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DonAndress:
Thanks for your reply, mate.

But I would like to clarify that some more.

Do I get it right - this root thing is something sewn up inside the hardware very small firmware's and is not inside each Android version released by Samsung?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Elinsa:
Managed to get a few words out of Paul O´Brien over Twitter.

Asked him what the chance of him giving the Galaxy S some attention and perhaps even root.

Got the answer:

"Oh, GS! Yeah, it's my current main device, so deffo..."

I would say that Paul is our biggest bet on getting root for the Galaxy at the moment, despite that he got alot of projects/phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] magicdanw:
"root" is the master account on Linux devices like Androids. It's like the Administrator account if you're used to Windows or something. "Rooting" the device means finding a vulnerability in the firmware and providing a pathway for running code using the root account. It's got nothing to do with hardware, really.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DonAndress:
Ok, if so, then it means that Samsung (or any other manufacturer) has to release each version of Android (for the same mobile) with exactly the same protection, right?

And it never happened that the manufacturer changed something in new version (like Sony in PS3) that blocked access?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BasieP:
you don't have to install samsung's updates :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Could a rooted AT&T Galaxy be unlocked?

I'm currently an AT&T customer with an iPhone. I want to get an Android phone, and am planning on getting a Galaxy S on T-Mobile. The main reason I'm thinking of moving to T-Mobile is that I need to be able to unlock my phone and purchase local sim cards in some of the places I'm going next year.

If the the version of the Galaxy S that eventually shows up on AT&T gets "rooted", will I be able to unlock it and use sims from other countries? While AT&T costs more than T-Mobile, they also cover a couple of places that i go regularly that T-Mobile does not...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] heygrl:
The Samsung Galaxy S that AT&T is getting has already been modified significantly over the international (and T-Mobile US version) so it could be a different situation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IDtheTarget:
Thanks for the reminder. ;) I so long for the ability to use my phone at Camp Gruber that I keep letting myself forget all of the other reasons to switch to T-Mobile.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shaneaus:
@ID - Not trying to sell ATT b/c I'm disgruntled that they haven't come out with any great Android devices yet. But! The phone being unlocked really has nothing to do with your being able to switch sim cards to use with another carrier when traveling. I'm sticking with ATT right now for two reasons:

1) I'm on a family plan that would take $300.00 for me to get out of it.

2) Only ATT and Verizon have good cell phone coverage in my area. And, Verizon doesn't allow for data and voice at the same time.

I really believe that the ATT Galaxy S will be rooted along with the others. The iCrap can be unlocked and so have most of the previous ATT smartphones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DonAndress:
I don't believe that's the answer for my question...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hernandez5683:
Not sure if anyone read this already, or how true it really is. If it is, then I will so be getting this phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychedelic'd:
question about rooting: will rooting the phone remove Touchwiz?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] igniztion:
No, the only thing it does is make it possible to gain root on the device and optionally it installs the SuperUser.apk that can be used to grant applications on the phone root access.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychedelic'd:
thanks for the clarification.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MacaronyMax:
But with root acses you

can

install a custom recovery and custom roms that are with out touchwiz :D

[HD2 General] harv123456:
After i did a hard reset on my HTC HD2 i can uninstall Tomtom 7,when i go to settings remove programs all other software and games is there to remove but tomtom in dosent show on the list,is there a way or other software that will find and remove it,or do i have to delete it manually.

Thanks
[HD2 General] smarphone:
for make a hard reset , you must push on 2 button volume up and down and power buuton ,
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
just delete it manually, or if you wanna keep it for later use move your maps to the pc and then leave the program installed makes it easier to come back to later. I guess you have paid a lot of money for it so you dont really want to permenantly remove it?
[HD2 General] harv123456:

[HD Mini General] bakura88:
hi guys!

im all new to this, my HD mini is my first smartphone, and because i have a big affintiy on technical issues, like flashing a custom rom in my mobile device, i am posting right here :D;)

As far as i was getting to know, i will need SSPL for flashing a ROM on my device. if i want to make my custom ROM (just removing some things like copilot etc) i gotta use osKitchen. so far, so good.

but my real question is:

my phone provider is A1 mobilkom (i am from austria).

if i would flash my ROM, am i still able to use my phone correctly? because in another thread (dont find anymore this post), one guy wasnt able to find his normal GSM network after flashing another ROM (those shipped ROMs, you know hwat i mean.) ok, things like internet setting for correct UMTS connection can be set after all (access point name, pw etc etc).

is this linked to this radio part, everybody's talkin about?

whats the connex between flashing the ROM and this radio part? i read a lot on this issue for the last few days, but i didnt gain more knowledge on this, therefore i am asking now with this here.

i dont wanna run into troubles, so i am asking you guys for your opinion.

so far

greets from styria :cool:

PS thx for all the work for the community!

yea, no point imo.. use appbrain to restore your apps after a new rom if that is your concern.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Regardless of whether they are needed, changes must be made to the system while it's booted if I'm not mistaken, So to get A2SD we need a full root. Correct me if I'm wrong all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
Hard to believe someone allowed a design that uses an "automatic nandroid backup" and only boots off the "nandroid" Sort of calls for a new boot loader. One that boots live not "nandoid". I bet the kernel source will be a guarded secret. Oh wait ain't it supposed to be open? Some agreement somewhere for GPL.

On topic: gbhil has said apps2sd soon http://bit.ly/aA4EYp

I would hope that devs aren't too worried about it since the Evo will be getting Froyo soon enough, work on that full sticky root!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I've been playing with the GPU clocks and here's the result with the CPU running at 500MHz and the GPU at 200MHz (I think).

This is actually a better Neocore score than a Nexus One gets (though obviously it has a few more pixels to push).

I pushed the changes to the sourceforge copy of the kernel (ltg is broken) to allow messing with the clock. The best I could get is using 0xa99 in /sys/module/clock_7x00/parameters/gpu which I think is 800MHz/4. (bits 3..6 are the divider-1).

Who knows how stable it will be at this speed.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] PeterDLai:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dukenukemx:
These devices aren't as outdated as some would think. Newer phones have slightly more ram, higher res screen, and that all important accelerometer. :rolleyes: Being able to overclock our devices, takes away the CPU advantage these devices have.

The new iPhone 4 (that was announced yesterday) is amazing. :rolleyes: It has a front camera that's for FaceTime Video Chat! OMG, my Kaiser clearly doesn't have that. Oh wait! I has a camera in the front of my phone and I can in fact use video chat. Yea, it doesn't work in Android but it does in WM, and it's not limited to Wifi connection only. :D

The more I look at newer phones, the more homogeneous they seem. The only reason to upgrade your phone is if it's free, or cause your phone broke.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Also us Verizon users who don't have data plans can have a smartphone in the Vogue, use Android, and not pay the outrageous 30 dollar data fee. That's a major point.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
+1 to that. that's the only reason I ever got the vogue. of course, now I have the data plan. and i'd never go back to a 'dumb' phone. but still.

Idk, I upgraded to the Evo and am VERY happy with it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ptcfast2:
A coworker in my office got the Evo. I played around with it, and it is a very nice phone. I actually just sold my Touch Pro 2 for a Vogue because I wanted something smaller, and most of all I wanted to step into Android without breaking the bank (still in contract :()!

The Vogue is quite the device! Sure, it's not as fancy as many of today's phones, but it's small, light, and it seems to be infinitely hackable. I have a special place in my heart for it. :p
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Dzo you never fail to amaze me. I still mess with my vogue running 2.1 a couple times a week. I mostly have it for my two sons who are 3 and 7. I disabled the ril and keep some games music and kids games on there for them since it doesn't have service. That damn thing lasted over 2 weeks in standby with out being on a charger. I wish my hero could do that. And 36fps in neocore. I could barely touch that with the hero over-clocked to 761mhz.

On a side note. Anyone ever try the wifi/sdcard thing? Or if it's even possible to piggyback a usb wifi stick on to this? This would greatly extend usability of this device for me at least since I use it as more of a pda.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thehelios:
I doubt the wifi stick idea would work. From what I've read, the Vogue's hardware doesn't support USB Host. I've also read that the wifi sdcard thing also didn't work due to lack of driver support.

I think our only way of getting wifi on this thing is to just solder in our own wifi chip.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
The hardware does support usb host and I have the documentation for it but somebody would have to write a driver.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I have a few questions.

#1 How's the battery life overclocking the GPU? Is it the same or worse?

#2 Can anyone get Kwaak3 running so we can get some benchmarks going? :D I can only get that working on Polys 2.1g, and that was months ago.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Millence:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:
Looking forward to the GPU overclocks - are the results noticeable in the day to day operations (animated wallpapers, faster screen refreshes, etc) or more for games?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drock3260:
adding wifi might be harder or at least not as convenient as you think. Even if a usb host driver is written the port will probably not be powered so we will have to have some extra hardware to power anything.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] DrGit:
