[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
I think that a lot of improvements/changes/ROMs have happened that we need to look forward.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
This is a great custom rom though not updated (it would be SUPERB on JM9 :D). I like this theme best among other custom roms. But Daily Briefing's gone and I wonder where I can re install it again? Please help guys. :) Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kamirza:
Where are you?

Your 2.1 has been the best ever but then you went away. Are you planning any froyo release of your own? We would be very interested in your work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Creomortis:
Hi there, the last time i installed a rom was when samset 1.9e was released. I am intending to upgrade to darkys 8.2.

Could anyone advise me as to whether I need to remove anything added by samset 1.9e, like for instance the a2sd lag fix... I cant even figure out how to reverse that let alone whether I need to or not :S

Any advice appreciated, thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Not sure, but I would aldvice (just to be on safer side) to flash stock jm8-9 with pit 512 repartition. Than update to darkys and stuff. Better ask in darkys thread, not sure what is the proper update procedure for 2.1-2.2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Creomortis:
Thanks ill ask in there!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Creomortis:
Meh, was ignored in the other thread. So if anyone could provide further assistance that would be great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gwarlek:
After updating from JM2 I get black screen after samsung theme. What could it be?

I have sd card repartitioned for mimocan's fix, but I didn't apply it after flashing JM2. Could it be a problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cHarOn99:
flash XWJM2 with Odin is the only way to fix it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Prankey:
Is there a problem with the image? Did you check thoroughly before uploading? Thanks for the quick reply.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan 6a:
Flash my firmware again!?

With all due respect I appreciate people making ROMS etc but at least make sure it works before releasing it, There is no huge rush to be the first ROM out following a new firmware update...

We are already beta testing samsungs FW and to have the hassle of putting our trust in these custom ROM's is getting tedious

But again, I thankyou for your work, I am sure you can understand where I am coming from, I personally wouldnt just put out things that caused more work for others.. we are flashing enough as it is..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brisandroid:
Exactly the same for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cHarOn99:
or easier just don't be the first who wanna flash and wait for some feedback ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan 6a:
yeah but the trust works both ways, the dev knows we will try it for them. Someone has to try it first anyway, its not like a bug tucked away somewhere in the system it is a huge WHAM you cant do anything within seconds of loading.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan 6a:
Is flashing the only way to fix? Maybe the update.zip can be ammended to get it working as intended?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cHarOn99:
agree but **** happens, and he is doing it for free and for fun and ahare it with us,

I don't care if something like that happen, damn i flashed 10 times the last days lol :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gwarlek:
He he, same here. Dang firmware extravaganza.

Regarding bugged ROM, it is not a big deal since Galaxy S got such a strong brick proof. Just run Odin and you are good to go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] maxdcy:
Ye same problem here black screen :)

re flashing JM2 and waiting for our dev to get it right :)

guys instead of flaming the dev how about helping him if we can

we dont have many of them around anyway :>
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan 6a:
:( tried with odin again to put the FW back on and I have the screen that I saw in a forum somewhere of a phone and a computer with a hazard triangle between them :(

I cant load into recovery or download mode , if someone could poit me to the right thread.... Its so so late here and my partner is going to kill me tomo cause we have a big day planned :((
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] maxdcy:
@dan 6a

setup odin and reconect the phone while u r at that screen... did the trick for me few days ago

am not sure if i had to reboot the device or not though... try it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] setenza01:
The rom is installed on my phone, i think upload is corrupted i reup all files in 1 hour
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saquib:
Thanks setenza01
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gwarlek:
Some checksum record (sha1 or md5) would be nice. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan 6a:
i got into download and reflashed...

I left my sim card in is that a big deal?

And thanks stez,looking forward to it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] maxdcy:
i reflashed I9000XWJM2 two times there was an error about mounting an st001 device and i was getting the same black screen as i was getting with samset 1.6 installed

i reinstall I9000XWJM1 and the device boot up properly
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Delarock:
sentenza pls let us know when it will be reuploaded:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] setenza01:
I make md5 and upload now
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bantu85:
As the title says.. is it within the scope of any dev to have some kind of lock or password protection on accessing recovery? This would obviously have to be optional.

Wavesecure is kinda rendered useless if someone could easily flash another rom on the phone before the user can get to wiping all data.

I'm not so concerned about getting a phone back after it's stolen... but i'm much more worried about the information i may have stored on it.

Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance

Alex
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vido.ardes:
a) If you flash another ROM to remove wavesecure, you would have to wipe first and therefore your personal data would be gone anyway.

b) You can install a recovery via adb as far as I know so if the user knew enough to boot into recovery mode, they could flash another recovery and circumvent the password anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwiksand:
Hmm, you'd need to password protect fastboot too wouldnt ya?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ermacwins:
+1

I was gonna post this. I mean if phone was stolen, and wavesecure did prevent them using it, a wipe will remove it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Well, ask ninpo maybe over at villainrom site.

Dunno if he would do it, but he modified recovery for villainrom 12 so it could wipe dalvik2cache properly iirc
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Seelbreaker:
I would also like it. And flashing over adb is for a newcomer harder then pressing the home button at booting :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
True.

You could always install the 007 spl if you were that bothered. But I don't recommend that.

I will look into wave secure, as I have a few ideas about things to do.

But remember most thieves would not manage to flash a rom, but a wipe using power + call (I think) is easy.

Also remember that wave secure is a great program, and it has improved loads since I first contacted them to show a way to add your own un approved sim to the allowed list. But I can still bypass it in about 30 seconds, just like any other security measure your phone may use (eg pattern lock or third party app locker).

So whilst a thief in theory could do this, it's unlikely in my opinion. They would need a fair bit of android knowledge, and anyone who knows the inner workings can get rid of any user security measure in seconds.

And btw, when in say I can bypass ws in 30 secs, that don't involve removing the app. I mean bypass that lock screen completely with the app installed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdafalter:
just curious: this possibility doesn't involve activated USB debugging in the device? So you do some trick during boot... or something else I just can't think of?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
I have more than one method. But I used methods that are unlikely to be found. One certainly can't be fixed, as it is inherently a flaw on linux, though by design. For this reason I won't be disclosing it, and I'm sure people understand.

But yes, usb debugging is useful for bypassing it, though I can still get round it even if you have disabled it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdafalter:
Interesting... I will give it some thought as I like to know stuff :)

Knowledge brings fear (from Futurama) but don't be evil (Google) :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bantu85:
thanks for the replies.

In the end any security can be broken and circumvented.. i just like the idea of layering as much as possible... again i don't expect to be able to get my phone back or stop someone from selling it (given how common imei spoofing seems to be)..

i just want to have time to run a remote wipe from another location.

I do turn off usb debugging whenever i'm not likely to be at a PC.

I know i'm being paranoid... but with good reason :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Wanna try something? Turn off USB debugging, then try and connect via adb.

Try "adb shell" and see what happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdafalter:
I'm not sure what you are up to, but it cannot connect (no device connected or similar output)... and this is the expected result.

Did you want to prove something else?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kosmiq:
Yeh adb shell with usb-debugging off just gives "error no device found".
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Nah, just wondered. Some phones used to have persisting ADB, which meant that you could get a connection even when that was disabled IIRC.

But remember that you can get adb on boot regardless of setting AFAIK, as well as in recovery :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdafalter:
so, if we would have a pw protected recovery/spl and use a kernel with no adb compiled in, where would then be your basis to break in?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kosmiq:
Or perhaps limit the use of ADB so that it can only be used while booted into the recovery and after the pw-protection of it has been passed.
[Desire General] dave7802:
Can Anyone help here, Info of Google is limited or am using wrong Key words,

My Previous phone was the N97 and perfect Keyboard, Long Space Bar!!!!

This phone regardless how much i try i cannot Stop hitting that Full Stop key,

Everything els is Perfect,

Is there any mod? hack tweak app or anything to remove that Full Stop key to the right hand side of the space key :-(

lol

Thanks
[Desire General] jstegeman:
I don't know of any such hack. The Americans would call that a "period" instead of a full stop
[Desire General] WD27:
there are many keyboard replacement options. personally i didn't like on screen keyboards at all until i started using swype. beat one out there i've used
[Desire General] tinytom21:
Heh, that's ironic! Saying how good a keyboard is, and the auto-correct gets it wrong!
[Desire General] Stretlow:
Doesn't make it correct though does it? You know thats another term for the painters being in?
[Desire General] Nit3m4re:
Rofl.. well played :) I always hit the fullstop. Its getting on my nerves too lol, not sure why though.. im not used to any other touch screen phones besides HD2 and that has the same keyboard pretty much lol
[Desire General] jstegeman:
Who said anything about it being correct? I was giving the OP another term to search, full stop
[Desire General] dave7802:
Thanks :-)

I looked and looked and looked and could not find anything,

Maybe one day,

But in the hunt i come accross swype (Also noticed someone els post they use it in this thread)

Wow!!! very good very easy :-) looks like i may of overcome my issue lol
[Desire General] laxdale:
The full stop instead of space has been bugging me for ages as well. Just trying out new keyboard from market called swiftkey beta. Seems better so far but no double tap space for a full stop might become a problem instead...
[Desire General] al89nut:
Swype in landscape moves the space bar to the side by the way
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguy949:
I know the Vibrant doesn't come out for a few more days but one thing that has made me very hesitant about purchasing this device are the GPS issues found on the international Galaxy S. Supposedly the phone wont lock on more than 8 satellites or any satellites with less than 20 snr. People are reporting the nav cursor will quite often jump around if it loses signal. I use Google Navigation a lot and this would be a huge problem.

Anyone else concerned? Hopefully the US firmware will have fixed this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barret1:
I'm also curious about this. Can somone who has gotten their hands on the vibrant early comment?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmosh:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryccf:
check the other threads - the issue does seem to have been firmware version related

the one user, sdjean - his phone did a 180 in terms of gps reception, and there's another interesting comment from another user that experienced gps reception / sat lock issues at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725748

i had the same concerns but after seeing the issues resolving from firmware updates and other postings as the above, i'm going ahead

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaz75:
Mine was horrid when running stock 2.1 JI6.

Running Bionix-v for the last few days and the GPS has been right on the money. First time since owning the phone that it locks on and nails my position in under 30 seconds.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmynguyen91:
Actually, I was running JI6 stock until I upgraded to KA6 via Mini Kies a few days ago. The GPS was HORRIBLE. No lock at all no matter how long I left it.

BUT I decided to do a factory reset before turning the phone in and it turns out that fixed everything. I get locks indoors now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slmhofy:
Can anyone help me out? I'm very familiar with running custom roms on captivates. But did a vibrant for a friend yesterday and installed Bionix-v as it seems like that is a popular rom that is supposed to help GPS. But his GPS will not lock at all. I was going to post something in that thread but didn't want to get flamed to hell. Are there any roms that are better for GPS? Or maybe I should try flashing Bionix again? I also read somewhere that there is some sort of hardware fix for the vibrant?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
Download Samsung GPS Restore apps from the Market and after install reboot your phone then run apps when its done then reboot your phone, then try open your GPS Navigation and test it, mine works after upgrade my Samsung Vibrant official froyo from t-mobile.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmynguyen91:
I flashed Bionix V and the GPS works fine, but if it doesn't, I would try a factory reset first. The Samsung Restore App made mine worst when I was still on stock JI6. It might work for you though, it gives different results. There is a thread in General forums for Vibrant that shows you how to hardware fix the Vibrant. It's called Correct GPS Fix or something like that.

I was wondering if there is a way to automatically load SMS/Email writing interface in landscape display. Or even better : is there Portrait/Landscape mode script or tweak that can be activated in most of the applications ?

[Nexus One Android Development] virajk:
hi,

I have downloaded froyo source from google and trying to build and run it on nexus one (N1). N1 is untampered (locked bootloader/non-rooted/original recovery image).

I followed the build steps as given at google website with required modifications.

I got one build error about librpc.so needed by libgsp.so. Resolved it by building librpc.so mannually and then continuing the build.

OTA package was created successfully. But when I put the zip as update.zip on sdcard and try to update from recovery, I get signature verification failed error.

Exact error is:

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package..

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

Anyone knows whats going wrong?

If I do the update process with zip provided by Google (signed-passion-ota-43546.cc653ee4.zip) then it works.

Is unlocking the bootloader is required if you want to use custom build image?

Does google use different key to sign its packages than the one available at (build/target/product/security/testkey.x509.pem) by any chance?
[Nexus One Android Development] cursordroid:
Your packages would either not be signed at all, or would be signed with test keys.

These test keys aren't accepted by the stock recovery environment on the N1.

You would need to root your N1, install a custom recovery, and sign the OTA zip with test keys for this to work.

There is no way to sign update packages with Google's private keys.
[Nexus One Android Development] virajk:
Thanks for superfast reply. Didnt expect it will be so fast.

My zip was signed. Problem seems to be the locked bootloader and private keys as you said.

I was a bit reluctant to root my N1. Guess i dont have any other option now :)
[Nexus One Android Development] virajk:
I have one doubt. If I install a custom recovery and then update using custom built update.zip, wont the recovery image get overwritten by the recovery image in the update package?
[Nexus One Android Development] virajk:
I guess recovery folder from the OTA package should be removed and then the zip should be signed again and used.
[Nexus One Android Development] madj42:
Could also do the steps below that are from here:

23) In your terminal, type "rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh" and hit Enter

24) In your terminal, type "rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p" and hit Enter

Or probably just what you said above.
[Nexus One Android Development] sbq:
built librpc.so by hand?

I am getting the same error you mentioned:

You say you built it by hand -- can you provide more explicit instructions for doing this? Thanks.

[Nexus One Android Development] virajk:
Give command "mm librpc" to build rpc alone. And then continue the make of full android. I had got this error while building cyanogen's source also.
[Nexus One Android Development] MrNameless:
can anyone help me ?

i got this error while building

http://pastebin.com/9dVJJA4y
[Nexus One Android Development] jazzor:
If you are missing libgps or other files, that is because you did not run or completely finish the extract-files.sh script found in device/htc/passion

edit: alternatively you can use unzip-files script with a froyo update.zip
[Nexus One Android Development] virajk:
Error which MrNameless is facing does not look like because of any missing libgps or any other library. it is a compile error.

The error regarding libgps.so which sbq and myself faced is not becasue of missing libgps.so. This error is mostly because of a missing dependancy.

Refer: http://osdir.com/ml/android-platform/2009-02/msg00106.html
[Nexus One Android Development] virajk:
Regarding getting build from google source to work on nexus one, I could load the new OTA package after unlocking the bootloader. But it doesnt boot. Looks like system hangs during boot. Will try to see if I can see the boot log. Should be possible I think.

Meanwhile I built package from cyanogen's source. It works perfectly.
[Nexus One Android Development] sbq:
Re: missing libgps.so is NOT an extract-files.sh issue

That is not correct. If you look at extract-files.sh (i.e., open up the file in an editor), you will see the list of files it gets from the Nexus One. librpc.so is not one of those files.

If you look at the android-building google group, you'll see a post by Jean-Baptiste Queru on Jul 14, 10:33am that addresses this (librpc.so) problem.

I used the solution "mm librpc" posted by virajk and it worked for me.

-sbq
[Nexus One Android Development] sbq:
After receiving the OTA update to FRF91 I ran extract-files.sh. I then built from the Google source with only the perviously-mentioned librpc.so problem. I flashed my image onto the phone using fastboot. It came up, but got into a loop during boot. See JBQ's Jul 14, 4:38pm posting to the android-building google group (and my reply) to see the solution.
[Palm Treo Pro] Godmik:
Greetings,

Yesterday I've got a brilliant idea, change (again) my Palm Treo Pro Rom, NIICE!

It goes to the progress bar and still there for 5 min and give me ERROR 265. (over and over again)

Then I've searched alternative ways to change the ROM, like mtty! why not? all I need is command line program!

ok, after task 39, it formated all... and doesn't boot at all (only in bootloader)

I still can't update using ruu (it looks like it's timeout)

The command lnb doesn't work, the command wdata requires password (I give and it still with the 'command locked' error)

My battery has run out (I discovered a alternative way to recharge) and I'm almost loosing my mind...

Can someone give me a light...? Please?
[Palm Treo Pro] Godmik:
it have hard-spl and it shows in bootloader.
[Palm Treo Pro] Godmik:
Ithink I found the source of all the sh**....

checking the bootloader and comparing it with the information that Mord4z puts in his tutorials, I discovered that mine is different:

the first 3 lines are like:

PANT100

SPL-0.59.0000

CPLD-2

there's a chance for salvation?

All I need now is a way to flash to any ROM to be able to put hard SPL on this device... and then everything will be fine...
