When people talk about Galaxy S firmware version, they mean PDA version.

So when you punch in *#1234# you get:

PDA: main firmware (same as /about phone/build)

MODEM: baseband-firmware (same as /about phone/baseband)

CWC: Regional related setting ja programs (not so important)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] urushiol:
This is a stock Rosie them for fresh 2.3.3, it includes menu+menu unlock feature. I will post a menu+menu unlock remover zip later if you want to remove this.

This has been png optimized just like the rosie/framework/resources/lockscreen found in stock fresh 2.3.3

Enjoy!

http://www.4shared.com/file/PUDOl9co/FreshRosieOpt.html

Remember folks, this will remove any themeing you have applied to your rom, as it replaces Rosie.apk, framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, htclockscreen.apk!!

EDIT: Please nandroid first, on my 7th Disaronno ;)

dude this worked great!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chinkster:
what is the stock rosie theme? sorry i've never known this so i might as well ask
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] urushiol:
The stock theme is the one that comes in the RUU's from sprint/HTC.

The launcher at the bottom looks like this.(well similar, this looks like an android 1.5 screenshot, but you get the idea)

Flipz uses the espresso launcher, similar but a little different, looks like this

What I don't like about espresso is it has no page indicator. Other than that, I actually like it better.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] intx:
I can't stand espresso! I tried fixing it myself but I couldn't -- so I'm really glad you've cooked this up.

Thanks man.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chinkster:
cool thanks for the clarification
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wingzfan:
Im sure this is a longshot but would anyone be willing to change the green in the stock rosie to blue? Ive been trying to do it myself by porting in another themes files but so far Ive only got the battery and market changed properly.

Id be willing to make a small donation for this to the person who gets it done.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] halrulez:
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo much for making this. I love Freshhhhh's roms but the rosie has always bugged the hell out of me. not saying the one that it comes with is bad. I like the page marker on stock + just like the look of it too. Thanks Again for building this flash.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eadred:
I have a 32b with

SPL: HBOOT-1.33.0004

RADIO: 2.22.19.26I

I saw several opportunities to upgrade either spl or radio or both. But I don't see why I would need to do that. Does it bring along extended capacity? Speed? Anything else? Or is it just about compatibility with some ROM?

Which SPL and RADIO would you recommend now for FROYO?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
Good Question. I was thinking about the same thing...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Romp:
I have the same question. Does having the newer radio improve anything?

Right now I am running CM6 with Pershoot's latest kernel.

I used the Universal Androot to root it and Rom Manager to install the rest.

Here is what I have for SPL & Radio

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Oct 21, 2009, 22:33:27

Any advice?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OmarAta:
Well, I'm not expert in these things,

but as far as i know, with a newer Radio you will get a better reception and signal quality,

plus there is some Rom are cook to work with specific Radios,

and about the SPL, you need to have and Eng-SPL with S-OFF,

in case if you messed anything up and you messed the recovery menu as well (as some people did)

the Eng-SPL will save your life :P

so, long story short, you can't brick your phone if you have an Eng-SPL/S-OFF

MOD EDIT: STRIKEOUT ALL INACCURATE INFORMATION
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Hey there!

A few things you need to know:

1. If it's working just fine, leave it alone.

2.Those with 32B phones should keep their current radio and, at most, upgrade to an engineering SPL to switch security to OFF.

3. Owners of the MyTouch Fender/LE/1.2/whatever-the-hell-it's-called (the one with the 3,5mm audio jack) should NEVER touch their radio and SPL unless they want to brick their phones. You'll have to switch radios/SPLs during rooting, but will need to revert back to stock in order to get it working right.

4. The only ones who can switch between different versions of radio/SPL are those with the 32A (CPLD-12, no audio jack), as a few sense ROMs only run on a specific radio/SPL combo.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
By myTouch 1.2/LE, keinengel means you. Don't hangs a thing or you'll either brick your phone or never get a ROM to work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Pretty much everything that you said here is WRONG!

You don't need an Eng-SPL.

You don't need S-OFF

You can brick your phone with S-OFF/Eng-SPL

Please don't post incorrect information again or you can be banned.

I will be reviewing your future posts. First warning!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OmarAta:
I'm sorry .. :(

Can you please at least tell us what is the S-OFF and EngSPL used for ?

thanks in advance,

Hi, I recently sent an email to HTC enquiring about a release date for Android 2.2 for the desire. Please note reply below.. Email received on 11/07/2010

"Dear Ray,

Hm?... hopefully it will be confirmed, but doesn't look like there's going to be an official version anytime soon. :)

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/htc-expect-desire-legend-and-wildfire-to-get-froyo-beginning/

Thus to stem any further questions to them about release dates (which they probably don't know) they deny it.
[Desire General] hamhacker:

[Desire General] jimlad:

[Desire General] bacchus_ben:
I sent in my phone under warranty because it won't boot or even turn on. It was covered under warranty but because I have a I had a scratch on my screen they would not repair it unless the scratch was fixed. This was not covered under warranty. So in order to get my phone back I had to pay £120 to fix something I didn't want to get fixed in order for them to fix the original fault.

Just if your wondering my phone just died suddenly, I had the sat nav turned on, looked up and the phone was dead. Couldn't turn it on, wouldn't even charge . I was gutted to say the least. And now I have to pay £120 to get it fixed I am absolutely sickened. I won't be buying another HTC after this.

Anyone have any experiences with HTC returns?

Anyone know who I could complain to, because I feel abit hard done by.
[Desire General] Aitese:
That sounds absolutely unacceptable. There's no way they can force you to have a repair you don't want or need.

Make sure to speak to as many people as possible, taking their names each time so you know this is not one customer service agent getting their wires crossed. Try to speak to someone as high up as possible asking each time to be put through to whoever supervises the one you're talking to.

Sounds borderline illegal!
[Desire General] Vulpix:
It's like being forced to pay for life support system when you are nearly dead from an incurable illness, and not having the option to terminate your own life. Maybe you should ask them what they would do in the above scenario.
[Desire General] bacchus_ben:
I asked them a few times that I was ok with the scratch but If I didn't get the scratch repaired they wouldn't fix the phone at all.

I would have held out a bit longer on paying but I'm heading off on holiday soon and I want my phone back before then.

Not sure what I can do now though
[Desire General] Tiger33:
Very strange

but i guess it could be part of some type of quality control

i.e send in a faulty phone they have to fix everything

I know when i had a problem with my HP laptop It was sent in due to a problem with the motherboard but they ended up replacing the mobo, dvd rom and some other stuff.

I.e for them to fix the device they then need to do extra testing - but if the screen is broke or scratched it may mean testing would fail.... (just my take on it)

eeither way u shouldnt be forced into paying for a repair though - check terms again and then speak to trading standards u may have a claim u could make against them.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Then this is obviously a policy. It should also be one YOU are fully aware of. Ask them to point you to the passage in the warranty documentation you received in the box where this policy is spelled out. If they can't tell them you'll be contacting trading standards. I'd buy myself a cheap £10 pay as you go mobile and use that for now and don't pay them off. You;d be better off not using your data on holiday anyway. Took my phone with me to Paris. Checked email once and used Maps to find my way once and it cost me a bomb
[Desire General] mancuk29:
Think they are out of order they cant force u to fix ur screen unless it was completely trashed speak to trading standards asap
[Desire General] bacchus_ben:
I've got navigon, co pilot and spotify all three don't need data. So I really want it for my road trip in europe. Thats why I paid but I know it does not leave me in a good bargaining position.

So I was thinking of waiting until I have my phone back before I start threatening HTC with trading standards.

What else could I do?
[Desire General] Biffy:
Try to speak to someone higher up in HTC customer service.

Sounds like extortion to me.
[Desire General] hermand:
You mention Trading Standards, so I'm guessing you're in the UK.

First, things first, if you didn't buy direct from HTC (Can you even do tihs?) then you MUST deal with the vendor and they MUST (Absolutely, definitely, 100%) sort it out. You purchased it from someone, and the manufacturer is absolutely immaterial.

If you've paid already, you might be a bit screwed, because you probably shouldn't have dealt with HTC directly. If that's the case, then yeah, speak to Trading Standards next. Know your rights, and kick off. E-mail the CEO (Trust me, this helps get things moving) and threaten to take them to small claims. More to the point, mean it - give them time scales to respond and timescales to deal with you. Then, pay your £30 and have your day in court.

I can almost guarantee they won't bother with the hassle over £120 (Small to them, big to us) and you'll get "We'll pay, but we don't accept fault" type letter and a cheque.

Play the game! Companies try to screw us at every step of the way and they need to be told. The law is almost certainly on your side.
[Desire General] bacchus_ben:
Ok I'm based in Ireland but I bought the phone from Clove.

I contacted them first but they said it would be quicker to deal with HTC directly as all they do is send it to them anyway. Either way I would have to send my phone to the UK. I've done returns with Sandisk and Lenovo before and had no issues.
[Desire General] bongobill:
I bet the reason they wanted you to get the screen repaired is because they will then send you a re-conditioned phone. Check those numbers!

I hope someone can advice me.

I an looking for a good Rom which supports HD Wall without too much trouble installing.

I have tried the Energy Roms ( different ones) and a Dutch one.

Either they don't respond when in landscape or you only see the top and bottom of the backgound. Tried different patches and combinations but I really would like to start setting up my phone now so I can actually use it :) (been playing with it for 3 days now)

I do like the Energy.RHODIUM.23569.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Jul.08 but after installing HD Wall and the HQ Wallpaper Patch, the homescreen only shows a bar with Appointment in it and 3 dots at the bottom.

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a script that will change my timezone with a single GScript shortcut, I've got as far as "setprop persist.sys.timezone Europe/London" which works fine as far as changing the actual setting, but sadly doesn't update the taskbar clock :confused:

Does anyone know of a shell command to force the clock to refresh itself from the system settings? I feel sure there must be a simple way, as it obviously does it when going through the Date/Time menus.

All suggestions gratefully recieved.

There's been a lot of talk over in Androidforums about how the Seidio is not what it's advertised. Dustin was kind enough to donate a lot of his time and money, and I think it's pretty important for you guys to see this before dropping $$$ on an ill-advertised battery.

Here are the results

http://androidforums.com/accessories-incredible/119578-battery-testing-results.html

Nutshell:

Seidio costs $40 and doesn't give near what is advertised.

Im pretty much a noobie to this format of phone. Im fairly good with pc's but still getting to grips with a few things.

Its my first htc and wimo phone. very impressed so far. already installed swype and torch cabs, both have been very useful already.

but there are a lot of threads with different home screens, lock screens, icon alterations, themes etc etc. I take it these are registry edits??

I plan on installing a reg editor soon but I saw something in a tutorial vid that made me post. The call buttons at the bottom of the phone i saw were green and red. a little google seach says that tmob versions came with this.

as mine is a factory standard mine are white. is this simply the colour of the actual button or does a reg edit or cab allo the colour to be altered?

cheers

Most people in these forum try to find ways to disable the "sms sent" notification. However it's no problem for me and it helps a lot in low-signal areas.

However, I got another problem.

In some point recently the notification changed sound, without me doing anything. :confused:

I searched through these forums and the only thing I could find is this topic:

Anyone know how to I can change this sound again? Is there another reg key I should change?

Moreover I found out that current used sound is inside the Windows folder with the filename "Default".

Any help would be greatly appreciated

More about adb:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694250

basically adb is a way for you to communicate to your phone through a computer. Any command that you run through adb, you could run if you downloaded a terminal emulator on your phone and tried the command (minus the adb)

Roms:

Basically, they are a complete image of a the phone. They include the OS, drivers, apps, and all supporting files needed to make your phone fully functional. People customize them for various reasons, all of which is explained by the dev in the roms thread.

Rooting:

What you are doing when you root, is you are providing root level permissions to the user (you) which allows you to flash new roms, perform backups and resotores, and a multitude of other things. Normally on a stock Rom that comes with a new phone, they lockdown certain file systems or partitions so the user only has limited permissions. When you unroot, you are basically changing these permissions so you can elevate to super user (or root) permissions and basically gain full control over your system.

Hi all,

I'm thinking of posting this thread and if people can tell me annoyance that they have and possible solutions I'll update this post.

I'll start off

Problem 1:

Gmail contacts syncing syncs ALL your contacts from gmail not just the "my contacts"

Solution: go to contacts -> menu button -> display options and then selection "Only contacts with phones"

Problem 2:

Slide to call/sms. If you have multiple numbers for contacts say home and mobile, it'll dial home first.

Solution: Click on the contact name. Press menu button -> Mark as default and then select which default number you want. Pain in the butt if you asked me.

Problem 3:

Can't get into recovery mode through "Vol up + home + power"

Solution: This is because you haven't got it plugged in. Plug in the usb cable and it'll be sweet. I think i needs to be connected to power source. Have not tried so if someone can confirm this, but I can confirm if you plug it in usb port
