Been playing with latest beta for a few days now and this UI is going to be awesome when it is fully functional - totally customizable, multiple animated backgrounds for different panels, g-scrolling menus, amazing task manager....

It runs alongside Sense and you can link between both - i.e. touching on various elements of your screen in Sense can take you to parts of TX, and in TX you can add in links to the Sense tabs if you have shortcuts activated in your start menu (or have HomeScreenJump or similar installed). The choice of widgets are amazing and the way you can customize the panels/widgets/opacity/text/icons/menus.....is mind-boggling. It is well worth donating just to get hold of even the beta versions to play with!

Beta versions are really heavy on battery drain though so be prepared to charge up more than once a day if you play with it a lot ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiekhan:
I'm running OpenDesire 1.6a and wondered something.

I've been getting a number of "Do you want to scan for errors" messages when connecting via USB and enabling USB storage mode to xferfiles over and 99% of the time no errors are found.

This is on 2 different memcards.

I am waiting until write ops have completed before turning off USB storage mode and returning to the phone.

I think it might be the EXT partition interferring with the card and causing Windows to think the card may have errors?

I'm wondering, if I reset factory defaults then, in SpareParts enable the external storage so all apps I install go into the SD card folder

.android_secure

will this mean that if I factory reset next time round or need to wipe if I want to try another FroYo ROM that my installed apps will remain as is and I won't need to reinstall them because FroYo will see the contents in this folder?

This seems like a safer way of doing things perhaps?

I rooted my phone earlier today and took a full backup of the sd card before rooting. At the moment I have no contacts so they must be on the backup somewhere? Any ideas which files i need to copy back to my sd card to get this working?

Thanks in advance,

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
Hello guys, this is my first post and I'm just wanting to say I've trawled these forums thoroughly, and found some fantastic guides which I am wanting to follow, but and I can't find out if it's alright to port Froyo to my Desire on Orange.

I got the Desire on Orange 4 weeks ago, and everything I own, whether it be a PC, PSP, old Sony Ericssons, even my Sky+ Box is modded, and I'd love to have my Desire work to it's full potential, and I think rooting and Froyo is definitely the way to go, and I despise, actually despise the Orange branding, it breaks my heart a little to have the Orange Logo on the back of the phone, but that's for another time!

I would like to port Froyo to my Desire, and as previously said it is on Orange, and I have read guides (not on XDA) which said it can be rather difficult(?) to do so, talking about Radio Bands and what not? Pretty confusing, and as this is my only desire, and rooting the phone makes the warranty void, I'd like to make sure if it's safe enough to do it on Orange.

Cheers for reading my rant and what not, and I hope there's someone here or around which can answer my questions :).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
It shouldn't be any different on Orange. Only thing that may happen is you lock your phone and you can either re-flash the correct radio or buy an unlock code.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowanparker:
Or you can be unlucky, like me, and certain newer radios don't let GPS work. But worth unlocking in the end anyway (8 quid on ebay).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
Well, I don't mind if it's locked to Orange as that's what I'm using it on at the moment which is fine on my part! Well then, if it's the same on Orange, I'll give it a go. And I'm sure I can find the right radio for GPS to work properly, well hopefully anyway as I do use GPS quite a lot of the time anyway.

Thanks for the reply guys, I'll let you know how I get on!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowanparker:
Not quite, you've missunderstood or, more likely, I've miss-explained! It locks the phone so you can't use ANY simcard without putting in an unlock code. Don't ask me why it does it but it does.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coriron:
should be ok

I'm on t-mobile UK and i just flashed to froyo without any problems. As far as i know, other than the logos, t-mobile is practically the same as orange, in that you can put an orange sim in a t-mobile and vice versa, and they should work. hope this helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
If you want to flash froyo, most of the custom roms now use the new leaked radio. Being on Orange this radio will sim lock your handset so you will need to buy a sim unlock code.

You will also need a gold card to root, and I'd also suggest you use the riskfree guide on modaco.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdan35:
So when you say simlock my handset, will that mean it's locked to all, or just to Orange when flashing a new Radio?

Already used the riskfree guide on modaco, worked perfectly, finally no more Orange Branding, shame that I couldn't get Orange Maps back as it was nice, and it's a part of my contract but nevermind :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowanparker:
It will make your phone unusable by any simcard until you buy an unlock code.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexnvidia:
Hi all, im new to android and i recently purchased a samsung galaxy S. i come from htc windows mobile and i need help understanding the different components of ROM in the galaxy S/android.

right now i have

PDA: I9000XXJF3

Phone: I9000XXJF3

CSC: I9000XAJF3

basically, i dont really understand what are those things. Im assuming phone=modem/radio, and pda=ROM revision.

1.what is CSC?

when i downloaded a new ROM from samsung-firmware, there is only one file in it, which is PDA.

2.do i need all 3 components to ensure the phone is usable after flash?

3.can i mix and match any phone and csc file from different ROMs?

4.im trying to get my phone to work in china, is there any region specific PHONE or CSC file that i should use, or can i just use any Europian files and they will work automatically in china?

5.is there some kind of HSPL thing in android phones i need to take care of before flashing so i wont brick my phone?

i find them really complicated, in htc windows mobile phones, there are only 2 things to consider and they are straight forward. Radio ROM is what it is, Radio. and there is the ROM version, which is straight forward as well. and they can be mixed and matched as long as the phone model is the same. no region problems. can someone help me to understand this from a windows mobile user perspective please? thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ottovip:
Hi :-)

I'm newbee too - and it seems that we are on our own, since nobody here answers Q unless the Q is top dollar relevant :-(

I've f/w updated my Galaxy S Gt-i9000 twice.

I did it PRECISELY as described in the "how-to-doc" that U-ll find on Samsung-firmware. And YES; they say use PDA if there's only one file.

What I did, was looking carefully at the printed screens in the how-to-guide.

CSC: Language-something.

PDA: ...?

After fW update I "reset-to-factory". Don't know if thats needed. Maybe it resets original fw? Does it load settings/fw from ROOT.... Don't know; but would like to know if somebody would be so kind.

Kindly (but...)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrezoreR:
I think the reason for no answers is that they have already been answered in the forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
Frezore is right. Questions like that stay unanswered because they have been asked 100 times before. I'll make an faq thread tomorrow morning.

Basically:

CSC is country specific code. It's some app as well as settings for 3G network providers and things like that. However, as of now only russian and region independent CSCs are available with the newer ROMs. In order to get internet on your phone in china you'll have to enter the APN manually. Info like that varies per provider and its easily found using google.

The phone file is what you would call the radio rom.

The PDA is the ROM. The software/firmware. It include android and all the apps that get installed along with it like samsungs touchwiz and swype.

It is preferable to update all three at the same time, however, not always necessary. An outdated modem (phone) firmware might result in compatibility issues (although very unlikely) and old CSCs can cause problems if the apps are outdated or apn settings are wrong.

However, CSCs, phone and pda files ate always distributed in complete packages so there really isn't abig deal.

There is no such thing as HSPL. Firmwares on samsung phones are installed using Odin (samsung-firmwares.com).

If you factory reset (just like on the wimo phones) you'll revert to the original settings of the rom/firmware you currently have installed. To get your phone completely back to factory settings you'll have to flash the factory rom that came with your device.

FAQ thread tomorrow.

[Desire General] tebs:
Ive only had my phone two days but have noticed that when I put the phone into flight mode and then try to bring it out off flight mode, 9 times out of 10 it does not reconnect to the phone network again. In this case I need to restart the phone to reconnect and sometimes I need to restart it a few times to get it going. I have tried using extended control widgets as well as the HTC flight mode function and it occurs with both. I am on the O2 network, the phone is branded and not rooted. Will unbranding it help? I dont really want to root it yet.

If I call O2 they will tell me to remove the sim card and wipe it on a cloth. Usual practice with them. Ive tried that anyway. I am still using my sim card from a few years ago. Do I newer type sim card or need to change my contract because I bought the phone sim-free from O2??

Anyone got any ideas or is this a genuine fault? Is there a way I can perform a soft reset without wiping all my data?

Cheers
[G1 General] fred12ned:
Hi,

My G1 has started only booting to the recovery, and will only respond to Alt+L which brings up "Android system recovery utility" in yellow letters at the top of the screen. ADB works but the recovery ROM is so basic it has no useful tools. Also pressing the camera button down on boot won't bring up the bootloader.

Have I manage to brick it, or is there someway of fixing it?

Thanks,

Will.
[G1 General] fred12ned:
Solved

Solved it by ADB pushing a rom on the sd card then unpacking and manually copying it in to system. Then with the expanded toolset of the rom (which had flash_image) I could flash a better recovery and properly install the rom

Hi again :)

ive flashed my phone with opendesire 1.6a and then installed flash 10.1.

flash is working in the native android browser, but i use opera 5 mini and want flash to work with opera also.

How can this be done ? some people say that flash is already installed in opera, that cant be true.

when i go to m.flash.com it tells me to download flash 10.1. ( with opera)

Ideas ? :)
[Desire General] Meisterqn:
I think, this won't be possible with Opera Mini cquse he doesn't render the websites on device like the other browsers to, but on server and the server sends an "image" of the website to your phone.

That means if it should work, they must implement the flashsupport on server-side but i think this won't happen cause Opera mini is actually made for devices with less power and/or low bandwith.

Windows 64 bit (Vista and after) - FYI

A new "security feature" in Windows prevents installing and loading of drivers that have not been signed by Microsoft. If you have a 64bit operating system, Vista or newer, you will have to follow special procedures to install and use the included drivers. If signed drivers exist they will be added to the download when they are found.

Before you installed the drivers and whenever you want to use the ADB / Odin functionality later you must do the following:

Reboot your computer, once it begins starting immediately hold F8.

After a few seconds you will get the Windows Startup Menu.

Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement".

Install or use your driver/device in Windows.

Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button

Press and release the Power button

Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the Samsung Galaxy S. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.
