You are wrong.

Joshua is a lazy ass and won't fix the homepage. It should work on Eris, but we seem to be having communications issues and we don't have an Eris to debug on. Also everyone ignores my requests to help me debug by joining IRC.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Ok. I stand corrected. Sorry. I for sure would have thought the wiki was wrong before the homepage.

I have a Verizon Driod Eris that I just got for free. At some point (after I am done playing with my new Incredible) I plan on playing with rooting it. It looks to still have 1.5 on it.

I will look you up and let you know how it goes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
I figured it wouldn't take me long to at least try it on the Eris real quick. Mine too failed and got the Communications Error with unrevoked 3.1 and an Eris running stock 1.5. I'm sure my setup on the PC is most likely good as I successfully rooted my Dinc without issue.

Time is hard to come by but I'm willing to help you out if you want. Anything for the good of the community. :)

ROM Manager flashes an older version of Clockworkmod (2.5.0.1). Why is that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RustyNailz:
Can someone also explain why ROM Manager runs a separate copy of Clockworkmod instead of the one installed by UnrEVOked?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drPheta:
Just got an update from ROM Manager that flashed to the 2.5.0.4 bootloader. ???shrug???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedons1983:
So what would happen if I did the above? IE initiate hard reset from inside settings. I'm guessing it doesn't actually restore the phone to "factory" if the phone is rooted?

Cheers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
No it will not, it will delete any installed apps and user data such as contacts bookmarks etc which you can easily backup
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedons1983:
Cheers for the reply dude, probably a daft question, but I did wonder! Just to clarify then a hard reset on my rooted, custom Rom running desire will simply reset my current Rom? Only rooted a couple of days ago, so its all a tad confusing!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
It will not change anything in the Rom or the boot or anything, it will simply delete any user data, such as contacts apps etc, it will not touch the main system, it will not touch anything youve flashed
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedons1983:
Nice one, just what I needed to know, cheers man!

I followed these steps to root my phone....am I "fully rooted w/ NAND access"?

[Program] SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 Edition

Is there a quick way to tell if I have NAND access?

Thanks in advance! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drunkenmonger:
Try flashing Fresh Rom 0.5.3, which should boot up fine if you have nand accessed. But If you dont then it will go into a boot-loop. If it goes into a boot-loop, just pull the battery, and when you put the battery back, hold down the volume button and power to go onto recovery. then select USB-MS which will allow your computer to see your phone's sd card. Put the PC36IMG (rooted version) back on your phone. Disable USB-MS, then go back to the bootloader and redo the pc36img part. Once that is done then you can then do part 2 over to get nand unlocked:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stranlaw:
Thank you so much. I am seriously a bit confused. LOL Apparently I posted in the wrong place. Oops! I will try that. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Try these commands in your command prompt with your phone connected and USB Debugging on (make sure to cd to wherever ADB is):

adb shell

su

(Only if you see a $ to the left side instead of a #. If you get an error here, then you're not rooted!)

mkdir /system/testy

(If you get an error here, skip the next step and go straight to exit)

rm -r /system/testy

exit​

If that doesn't work, no biggy. Try these next:

adb remount

(If you get an error here, just stop.)

adb shell

su

(Only if you see a $ to the left side instead of a #. If you get an error here, then you're not rooted!)

mkdir /system/testy

(If you get an error here, skip the next step and go straight to exit)

rm -r /system/testy

exit​

Again, if that doesn't work, still no problem. Try these last commands:

adb shell

su

(Only if you see a $ to the left side instead of a #. If you get an error here, then you're not rooted!)

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

mkdir /system/testy

(If you get an error here, skip the next step and go straight to exit)

rm -r /system/testy

exit​

If that still doesn't work, then nope, your NAND isn't unlocked.

If you have questions or an error message, make sure to tell us so we can help diagnose the problem. :D

[Epic 4G General] mensaphone:
Other than DLNA, is the epic going to get the vidout via 3.5 feature???

All the reviews I've found seems to gloss over this...

I personally think it's a huge feature
[Epic 4G General] jzh797s:
I saw a video on youtube of a Galaxy S doing it. IDK if the Epic 4g Will for sure, but I would assume it could still do this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTQBAx_BDfk

Something interesting I found in my digging is that the Galaxy S phones will only support Stereo sound over DLNA and if you want 5.1 from a movie you will have to use the 3.5 jack for audio. I have no clue how this works in practice, but its just something interesting I came across.
[Epic 4G General] mensaphone:

Samsung Galaxy S Will Be Able to do MicroUSB to HDMI for Video Out

phandroid.com/2010/07/28/samsung-galaxy-s-will-be-able-to-do-microusb-to-hdmi-for-video-out/
[Epic 4G General] MameJunkie:
Nice but $50??? If its supported, hope MonoPrice comes out with a cheap alternative.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I saw this.

I'm excited that all of the Galaxy lineup can do HDMI out from microUSB, but I REALLY am not gonna spend $50 on a USB cable.

Wasn't the price similar for the Droid X cable? I don't think its samsung trying to gouge people, as much as the cables being kinda hard to find.

I think once more phones come out with HDMI-microUSB, then generic cheaper brands of cables will come out.

If not, i'll just have to live without HDMI out. :P
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
Strictly speaking, it's not a microUSB cable... it's a HDMI cable with proprietary connector that has the approximate physical form factor of a microUSB plug, but additional contacts for the HDMI signals.

I'm purely guessing, but I suspect the cable MIGHT be "semi-active"... using a single pin on the microUSB connector for each of the raw, unbalanced TMDSx and CLOCK signals, and turning them into a balanced pair with dedicated shield ground with parts embedded in the hood of the cable itself. I'm going to guess that when the phone is using the port in "hdmi" mode, they probably repurpose the USB D+ and D- pins for I2C to reduce the pincount further.

It's not really that exotic or mysterious. MicroUSB only uses one side of the connector slab, so there's room on the underside to put more contacts for other purposes. The only part that's really amazing is that they can get a reliable high-speed connection from a connector that's slightly loose, with etched copper contacts the width of a human hair.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Found a site which has the MicroUSB to HDMI out cables for 13 bucks with free shipping!

MicroUSB to HDMI Cable

Looks like it was made for the Evo and Droid X but should work with the epic too!
[Epic 4G General] ForrelZ:
It's a standard MicroUSB port nothing proprietary at all. The cable's HDMI end also has a MicroUSB out connector on the side for charging while connected to HDMI.

PS: Here is the exact same Samsung cable for $3.60, currently out of stock but I was fortunate enough to get one before I went out of stock again.

http://www.myluxphone.com/samsung-ecc1hu0bbebstd-tv-out-cable-micro-usb-to-hdmi.html

Huh? The Evo has a dedicated Micro-HDMI port and cannot do HDMI via MicroUSB. The original cable made by Samsung I linked above is almost 10 bucks cheaper.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
What I think is smart is that the cable takes into consideration that you can't charge the phone with a straight up microUSB to HDMI cable. They added another microUSB port for the charger on the base, which is SOOOOO smart, cause, well, you know, video is just going to rape the battery life.
[HD2 General] Susasama:
Ok, obviously an easy task. Done it before have a couple dozen songs on my storage card now, and they all transfered easily a couple months ago.

Now, I want to finish my collection and transfer a couple hundred songs over, so i figured, same thing i did to transfer the first hundred or so.

I open my music folder, i open my storage card/music folder. highlight, drag and drop. I get a message pop up saying "this file may not be able to play on this device do you want to copy anyways?" I say yes, another popup saying

"Cannot copy <title> The device has stopped responding or has been disconnected"

So i figured i'm screwed and can't copy them over and i head here for an answer, here's the twist.....

I check the "do this for all files" when "cannot copy" box comes up and i tell it to skip copying all files. I let it go and lo an behold, even tho i told it to SKIP copying all files. They appear and are working properly on my device, artwork and all.

TL;DR-

Get error saying can't copy music, device is not responding or disconnected. Tell it to skip copying all music. Copies all of it anyways completely successfully.

::EDIT:: Basically, I'm just wondering if anyone has had this before, or would know why this is happening? Even tho i still get the result i want.. it's kind of irritating.
[HD2 General] ohhyeahh:
I've had the "This file may not be able to play on this device do you want to copy anyways?" dialog which is normal if your USB>PC is set to ActiveSync. You might want to try setting it to DiskDrive and see if that behavior goes away.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:

why could this not have been posted in the original thread for your rom?

dont consider this a flame, its not. i just think its unnecessary to start a feedback thread for a rom that already has a thread :P

This is not necessary, people that try ur rom will always post feedback in the thread, it's how everyone learns and the community grows. Not flaming, u made a rom something I can't do, but u don't need this thread.

I tried for a short bit. No FCs but as has been pointed out without the GPS, camera, etc not much point. Using Quadrant it was okay, about like most of the other 2.2 stuff. A positive note is that it worked well with the overclocking stuff.

I can only imagine how much time it took to construct so thanks for that - but you'll need to catch up with some of the other devs.

Again, thanks for the efforts.

Just the fact that you even acknowledge this person as potentially being you screams that you are him. You did the exact same thing in the last three threads that you made on three different accounts trying to fool people. You also are the only person on this forum who I've seen that speaks as if they're a little kid. Why are you trying so desperately hard to fit in? If you're not good enough then you're not good enough. Leave it at that. Clogging up the forums with your terrible attempts at making ROMs isn't helping anyone.
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
He is a little kid. If I recall correctly, there was a youtube video with his prepubescent voice on it :)

To the OP, seriously man, just give up on this. You can't just take someone elses rom +/- apks to it and call it your rom. i guess this happened alot with Moto Droid too. People would just through together a bunch of other peoples work and call it their rom, but they did credit the devs of those apks that were used.

Its good that you are experimenting with stuff but you don't have to release stuff to the public. Keep it to yourself to enjoy. Releasing someone elses modified work and then waiting on them to fix stuff isnt the way to go. It seems you want to get complimented for doing work and releasing something, but it just hurts your rep more the way you are doing things.

Does the SGS screen suffer from burn-in? And if so, is it permanent?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pops_G:
Yes and yes. Its most likely to happen to the status bar since it is almost always displayed. You can help prevent it by using a launcher that allows you to hide the status bar.

wow thnx for the heads up on this garbage! this peeves me, it betta come with warnings like plasma tvs
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pika007:
The problem really isn't that bad.

Tilting the device sideways sometimes to move the status bar around is plenty to prevent burn in of the status bar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drleospaceman:
I've been using a Cowon S9 (AMOLED) everyday since Feb '09 that has static images displayed on it a lot when playing music, and it has absolutely no signs of burn-in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miker71:
I've always been under the impression that only CRT can suffer permanent burn-in. On LCD/LED you can get residual image sometimes but it will not be permanent.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMa:
I thought the answer to this question would get yes and no answers just like every other SGS issue gets a batch of yes and no's here.

So these dang screens suffer the same as plasma screens of yesterday?! Having to use the SGS differently than other types of devices sounds like another real letdown. The iPhone doesn't have much of a status bar and it's annoying compared to the pulldown status bar of the Evo/Android. In other words, am I the only one who thinks it's no good to have to hide the status bar or any other feature that would be fine on other devices? Not asking for perfection but the SGS does some things better than other devices. It would be nice if it also did all of the other basic things all the other superphones can do like have a status bar always on (without causing damage to the display) because....well......it's a status bar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drleospaceman:
There really is no evidence that OLED has burn-in issues and with so many OLED devices out now I've not heard of one instance of it; even the wikipedia article posted here doesn't cite it's sources.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMa:
I first thought of this after watching a pocketnow.com video in which they said it has happened and that one could just hide the status bar to help prevent this from happening. I don't know why this bothers me, due to the fact that I seem to get knew phones often. Regardless! I would be none too happy if after just a few months I too end up seeing a shadow of the status bar showing up during the boot screens. I'll try to locate that pocket now video.......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizek:
The siaplay uses a pentile matrix to reduce the powwibility of burn in. Samsung has already considered this and found ways around it, you dint need to treat the phone any differently.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMa:
Well that sounds good to me, let's hope it works out that way. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
There's no chance of getting screen burn on a modern mobile phone display, I really don't know why people start rumours like this?

Screen burn is only ever likely to occur on a crt, plasma display or really old lcds. A modern lcd / tft or oled will have no such problems. Even if there was, it would hardly be unique to the sgs...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshMa:
Again this is what they said about the Nexus One. They say they could see the status bar ghost/shadow on the boot screen. I've done a little research now and I do not see any clear answer to this as some say as you do and others say it does happen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravUK:
That would be contradictory to the way an AMOLED screen works. The term 'burn-in' is actually incorrect for AMOLED screens and is unrelated to the effect seen on plasmas. The problem with AMOLED is the organic nature of the dyes used to create the colours as they fade over time. The blue channel is the worst, but with the latest version they have a life-span of 10-20 years during which they degrade down to about 60-70% of their original intensity.

That's much longer than the typical lifespan of the phone.

Now with a Super AMOLED screen, if the pixel isnt coloured, it isnt lit and powered. So if it has faded and its not enabled, you cant see that its faded. If it is enabled but faded, you'd be very hard pressed to even notice it, because its still showing the right colour.

What you might see after several years of having the screen on all the time is some yellow-ing around the battery and 3G icons on a pure white screen. But thats several years with the screen on in excess of 12 hours a day, with the status bar showing. But I think it's pretty much common sense not to do that.

Oh course, we rely on the technology manufacturers to be honest about their lifespan claims, so only time will tell for sure. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drleospaceman:
The pentile matrix fixes this issue, if I understand it correctly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravUK:
It doesn't stop the dyes from degrading over time, but it might soften the edges of any fading making them less noticeable. Unless there's some other technology associated with the pentile matrix I'm not aware of. ( I design graphics chips, not displays, so I'm just guessing )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miker71:
I thought I had a "burn in" problem with my 24" iMac but it turns out it's kind of normal, but reversable. It's something to do with exercising the screen elements, and burn-in is more likely to occur on a young screen with least exercised elements. As the screen ages the elements equalise (same amount of exercise on average) and burn-in is less likely, less noticable, and entirely reversable by powering the screen off for a length of time (my iMac's "burn-in" would disappear after being powered down overnight - before which I had not powered it off for weeks).

Anyway, I could be talking out of my proverbial, but that's how I understand it with modern screens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravUK:
miker71, your iMac's LCD screen is a very different technology from the OLED screens on the Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizek:
It does, actually. The whole reason why they use pentile is so they can extend the life of the blue pixels. We have seen that t has some negative effect on readability, so obviously the main concern has to be lifetime.

So how about some red colored status bar icons? Is that too hard to do? Not only does it protect the blue pixels, it also reduces power consumption.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systoxity:
lol yea i remember reading that about the red. still these posts have assuaged my fears a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravUK:
I'd love to know how, do you have a link? The pentile matrix is an RGBG layout, and so still has a pure blue sub-pixel. This has to be illuminated to show the colour blue, so I dont see how it prolongs the life of the blue dyes, which naturally degrade faster than other colours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
why do you want to keep your screen on anyways?

it consumes a lot of battery when you leave it on for long period of times
