Thanks!! I'll try the no sd card idea.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jp50:
So I can use the sd card to load the rom. But remove it before I reboot?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Berserk87:
I'm planning on getting the galaxy i9000 when its available in Canada, but I was wondering how I would go about making custom roms for the phone once I get it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] unfnknblvbl:
a basic way to do it would be to just download an existing ROM (say, MCR's one) and extract the file. Delete/add the apps you want and make sure the update script and build.prop will still work. Once you're done, zip it, sign it and flash it. It's pretty easy.

...however, I would like to know how to build Android from the AOSP source for a plain vanilla distro. Some of the Samsung additions really get on my nerves, and I'm positive that a vanilla Froyo (or even Eclair) build would run rings around the stock SGS.

...anyone know?
[Hero CDMA General] 6ironmaiden9:
Hi i have a Htc Hero Cdma, Through Cellular South and last night the released 2.1. (This is for my mom) So i got my moms phone backed everything up correctly my phones already on 2.1 and rooted. Her phone has 100% battery used 2 diff battery apps to check and checked android status of battery. it says 100%

So i plug into rom update utility accept the first 2 clauses and then it goes to verify android phone information and gives error 120 that my main battery power is below 30% but it isnt i even traded out batterys and it still didnt work. both batterys have over 30% so i was wondering how i could fix this. i really want to get my mom over to 2.1 shes excited to go from 1.5 (Shes a tech geek but i still do alot of stuff for her)

Thanks a bundle.
[Hero CDMA General] revcp:
I'm having the same issue. Did you ever get a reply?
[Vibrant General] SanFrancisco:
I see the specs all over the Net for the T-Mobile Vibrant say there's an FM radio and that for the Samsung Galaxy S generally there's one too.

Is that accurate, is there FM radio hardware on the Vibrant? (I am not talking about software that provides Net FM radio, I am referring to the hardware radio.)

On the Touch Pro2 (TMOUS) it came without the FM radio app to use the hardware radio that was in fact on the phone. Is it the same with the Vibrant, where we simply need the FM radio app to activate the hardware radio?

Or does the Vibrant NOT have a hardware FM radio?

If the FM radio is on the motherboard, anyone know where to get the app or software to make it work?
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
I don't have much info for you, but a few of the reviews I remember watching on the net last week have said that the international version does indeed have a built in hardware FM tuner (you have to make sure to plug in headphones though, they act as your antenna). I even saw a demo of this app. I don't remember if this was on the international Galaxy S or the ATT Captivate.

So unless T-Mobile totally removed the hardware chip (I wouldn't say to be very likely) it should still be there. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant General] vamp6x6x6x:
I don't know for sure but based 0on what I have read it seems like the Vibrant does have the hardware for a radio...and as of now there rumors that 2.2 will bring out the fm radio to its fullness but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
[Vibrant General] orells:
Check tunein in the market no need for fm radio

Sent from the best phone from TMO... Vibrant
[Vibrant General] stevja1:
Check the think tank for this. It seems the Vibrant has the hardware as part of the GPS chip (correct me if I'm wrong). People are having a hard time getting it to work though. I'll try and find the link and post it.

I found the link, but i can't post it because i don't have rights. :(
[Vibrant General] dattaway:
Would be interesting if the GPS chip was a full software radio. Scan just about any frequency...
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Second that seems to work well for me.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Mobile HAM?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
True, but an FM radio would probably use less power.

Not a big deal for me since I have a tuner in my BT headset, but it would be cool if the Vibrant had one.

I thought people were trying to figure it out in the Dev board without much success.
[Vibrant General] dattaway:
Yes. For the Atheros chipset on my wifi card, the Linux kernel has the complete source code. A few simple limit changes in the reg.c (if I remember correctly) lets me scan from nearly from 2.1 to 2.8 GHz. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to change the channel spacing, modulation type and all that.
[Vibrant General] kds23:
is there a way to use to fm radio.apk from the i9000?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
hahaha. I gotta say, that would be a pretty stunning achievement if you could get that working.
[Vibrant General] The_wolf88:
I don't know really but 2 weeks ago I flashed Galaxy S i9000 Rom on my Vibrant and when I tried FM Radio first it gave me "Unable to switch on Radio" then I managed to switch it on but I only heard shshsshshshshshshs and when I shift the tuner to another band nothing happens !
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
How did you manage to switch on the radio? Just wondering may be that will give some clue. Also could you confirm if it asked to plug in the head set before it produced static.
[Vibrant General] inverseflux:
Indeed, how were you able to turn this on? Though, I am more interested in the transmitting side of having an FM Radio built in, but receiving might be neat.
[Vibrant General] The_wolf88:
Actually I used a custom made update.zip file to enable Arabic support on my vibrant (which it's inherited from i9000 ROM) .. Anyway after applying the update.zip I saw FM Radio icon in application menu so I clicked it and it loaded and asked to connect the headphone to use it as antenna so I connected the antenna and that message disappear. Then I clicked on start Fm Radio and at the beginning a message appeared telling me cannot switch on FM Radio so I clicked it again and again and for the forth time it worked ! I started to hear the (shshshshshsh) sound but unfortunately changing the frequency didn't show me anything! Maybe because it can be used only in US and I'm from Bahrain so maybe that's why it doesn't work !
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Is the bahranian vibrant different from the US version? When I load eugene's "froyo that does not brick", I get nothing (i.e. no static). Additionally, headphone logic is reversed, so I only get the "please connect headphones" message when they are already in.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Tune in

Tune-in I ve found to be the best and most reliable Also it uses very little power if you are on head phones
[Vibrant General] The_wolf88:
Actually we have only Samsung Galaxy S i9000 in my country and it's very expensive for me which is cost around $720 for the 8GB so I ordred my Vibrant from US through ebay..
[Vibrant General] aarif_ziaee:
at what price did u purchased from ebay ????

i m also from bahrain and want to purchase it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] andresmo169:
I recently bought the Captivate hoping to get some juice out of that phone by using Pdanet or Easy Tether, and I just couldn't do it. I can tether using my Motorola Backflip but cannot using my Captivate. Is there an application that I need to download in order to tether my phone? or what am I doing wrong that my old Motorola seems to work fine and the Captivate can't . Thanks a bunch for any info.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] systoxity:
The captivate makes juice....? NICE!

Lol do you have the drivers required? Download kies and update it for some hassle free drivers that auto install.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] brandonb81:
Here's the USA Samsung site link to their drivers: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/s...ptivate&searchInputBox=captivate&find_button=

I know the mass storage option works without drivers, but I don't know about PDA net tethering. I haven't tried the drivers listed above but I did have problems with the computer freezing all the time with drivers I installed from another site and the problem continued after installing Kies. I just wanted to post the driver link to the Samsung site. Hopefully these are better.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] _Opiate_:
You probably just need the correct drivers installed. I personally had to get mine from samsungs official website because the drivers that were being passed around in this forum wouldn't even install for me. So if you have problems go and get the drivers from Samsungs website and you should be fine.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] red4delta:
I to have just purchased the Captivate. And now I am trying to get the tether deal on it. And I hear good stuff about the PDAnet, And Easy Tether. They are also not in the app market. I have one problem where the heck did you guys get these apps. My device is root and ready to install 3rd party apps but I really want to tether and I just don't know how. One more thing I am trying to tether with my MAC. And I see there are lots of apps that won't work with a MAC. Can anyone please point me in the right direction.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tytdfn:
To find those apps you need to make sure the market isn't restricted. What i do is turn on airplane mode and then i turn on WiFi and kill the market process and then look for the apps. To get the restricted market back just kill the market process again and turn off airplane mode
[Captivate Themes and Apps] erc_fuentes:
HI thoughtlesskyle,

Does this build work with pdanet for usb tethering? I tried installing the software for my PC on Win7 32-bit but the drivers won't install and the phone is detected as an HTC Vogue even though I have a Kaiser. Also, is there anyone here who has been able to successfully connect a Kaiser to a PC with Win7? I tried dual mount SD without success.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxsashixx:
Before anyone flames me or tells me that there are other topics let me say that nothing I do really works for me.

Anyways I'm using CM6 and 800mv kernel 2. 6. 35. In about 7hs of idle and 1hr using music and browser it drops to 64% would that be considered bad?

I use setCPU to limit the CPU when its screen is off. I turned off autosync. using launcherpro. What else can I do to make the battery life better?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
Try a program called Green Power. It's kind of like juice defender, but so far it hasn't killed my 3g apn :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxsashixx:
may I ask what you're settings are?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
I just used all the stock settings, I don't think I changed anything.

Other than that, two other things I'd try:

1) Shutupbatterysaver. It's in the apps section. It's relatively new, but the dev is adding a bunch of new features. This turns off your apn when your reception falls below a certain db threshold. I tend to lose the most battery when I'm in areas with crappy reception. I just haven't really tried it in conjunction with green power, hopefully they'll play nice together.

2) find the battery thread in this forum and calibrate your battery using htc's charging method.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] antiphon:
What I ended up doing was Nandroid back to a 2.1 build and upgrade Handcent. Then I backed it up with Titanium Backup and Nandroid back to CM 6 and restored Handcent on Froyo. It's a pain but at least I have all my apps updated now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] blakejohnson86:
What's so special about 3.2.1?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Veritas06:
Yeah, Toast posted in the the CM6 thread about it. It's one thing if the app is Free & Open Source, but Free & Closed Source / Protected is not allowed to be shared.

Hey,

I know there is a thread more so dedicated to this ROM, but there are so many questions posted and not enough answers, a few previous questions went by unanswered twice.

Anyways, I was trying to set the phone as a disk drive, but can't seem to find the option to set it as a disk drive, doesn't pop up or anything, though the phone does charge and can be seen by htc sync and the computer somewhat, shows the drive in my computer but won't let me access it. I recently installed windows 7 but I was pretty sure that asop nonsense ran a disk drive no problem.

Anyone have any idea's, are there any special drivers for windows 7?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktae13:

Dear All,

kindly tell me how can i roll back my device from 6.1 windows version to

windows mobile 6.0 (which was preloaded when i bought it)

I updated my device from the HTC site to 6.1 version

but i found my device working slowly.

Kindly help me out???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Hi, welcome to the forums. You only need to find the correct 6.0 stock rom and run the exe. There is a stock rom repository here http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Kaiser/

Before you go back to an old stock rom, have you considered to hard reset your device first (this will wipe all your programs, contacts etc, but you will have your actual 6.1 clean and fast rom) or checking out what programs are causing your phone to be slowly.

I hope that helps,

Has anyone experienced this type of problem?

It was fine until I updated my itunes or xperia to RBA20A.

However afterward, I tried to transfer my songs from media go to xperia but it will not create m3u file.

I tried sony ericcson media sync on mac, but the lists (playlist, artists, podcast and so on) are empty.

Anyone experiencing this sort of problem? Care to share you story and your solution?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ken.eh.dian:
I have the same problem. I can create the playlists in Mediago but when I try to move them to the phone they are not accepted. The funny thing is that after trying multiple times, I managed to get a couple of playlists transfered but others will not transfer.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kannanX10:

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ealax:
I just found out that there are some songs files with some trouble unknown that if I remove this song from the playlist the file will be copied. Besides this you can see on the error log on media go.

Error: Could not transfer playlist 'x' to device 'XPERIA'

Hi, for those of you with playlist problem with some special character, you can try to open the m3u file with notepad and save it again with encoding set as "UTF-8" instead of "ANSI".

Hope this wil help you as it did for me.

i'm using Media Go 1.5
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zup2sky:
or media go 1.4 just works as well :)

Just installed 1.4 and it works.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ungruntled:
I contacted Sony AGES ago about MediaGo because I found out almost immediately that it would not add songs with "special" characters to the library. I used it for my PSP and there were SO many problems with it.

Eventually they did an update and it fixed it for some characters but not all of them!

MediaGo is, really, a piss-poor piece of software for managing media files. The only redeeming feature for me is the ability to re-encode movie files for specific devices.

Also, my PSP supports "SensMe" so why can't the X10?
[General Questions and Answers] feanor512:
The screen on my Kaiser is solid white every time it turns on--either by me pressing the power button or by my phone receiving a call or text. However, if I press the power button twice to turn the screen off then on again, it's normal. I've tried leaving the battery out for ten minutes, hard resetting my phone, flashing back to the last official AT&T WM 6.1 ROM and radio, and flashing to another WM 6.5 ROM (in my sig). Is there anything else I can try? Another SPL?
[Android Software Development] jlip5617:
i'm not a developer but i had an idea for a tweak/app that would be useful to me and hopefully a lot of other people. I just came home from a vacation and took a ton of pictures with my Evo and grew frustrated by the lack of a dedicated camera button. i was wondering if it would be possible to make one of the volume buttons take the picture. I would want this only when the camera app is open of course. I know the volume buttons can be re-routed because of how they are used to scroll up and down through web pages in the Dolphin HD browser. Can anyone tell me if this would be possible or if its already been done? i've done some research into this and didn't come up with anything. I thought i would ask the great group of developers we have here at PPCG. Thanks everyone!!! (HTC Evo)

I like the idea...but have a slightly different motive. I'm on an X which has a dedicated camera button, however, when I'm using it as an audioplayer in my pocket, while it's possible for me to turn the volume up and down with the rocker, I can't actually pause the audio...so I plan to find a way to re-route one of the buttons somehow to be a play/pause button...
