[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtptampa:
Hey all, I've been rocking CM5 anySPL by Firerat, but it has some memory issues on my G1, so I've been looking to upgrade to CM6, and hopefully improve speed as well. Unfortunately, I decided to flash the HardSPL onto my system instead of Danger/DeathSPL when rooting it (I have no clue why, probably just naive).

Anyway, I'm looking to get Danger/DeathSPL on my system so that I will be able to enjoy CM 6, and would like some help with putting it on (I don't want to brick my phone!). And I do have the latest radio flashed on my system.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Go with the new mtd-partition method from Firerat and you will not need to have DangerSPL installed. It's more flexible and more secure.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B6gSix:
follow my steps bro its plain simple and tooo easy. so i promise you cant mess up this and you cant brick your phone because we have recovery but go to this link

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for you to be messing with your SPL.

IN FACT, if you want the best storage allocation possible, you will end up using a partition table that doesn't match ANY known SPL.

Specifically, though the 1.33.2005 SPL recommended by CM does reduce the size of the cache partition and expand both the system and userdata partitions, the cache partition is STILL way bigger than it needs to be!

With a custom partition table, which you can achieve with ANY SPL (including the one you already have), you can have a system partition the same size as the 1.33.2005 allocation, and a userdata partition that is FIFTEEN MEGABYTES LARGER than the 1.33.2005 allocation.

When dealing with CM6, unless you apply extra hacks, you will end up being stuck with froyo2sd for installing applications to the sdcard. Froyo2sd is a terribly slow bloated memory hog of a pig and will slow your phone down to being virtually unusable. The more space you have on the userdata partition, the fewer applications (possibly zero) you will need to install to froyo2sd, and the faster the thing will run.

I ***HIGHLY*** recommend that you DO NOT waste your time with 1.33.2005. It is not required, not useful, and has the potential to cause actual HARM.

The SPL that I **DO** recommend is 1.33.2003 (ending with a THREE). This SPL is FULLY COMPATIBLE with your phone and if you currently have a 0.95.x000 SPL installed (hspl that you have is 0.95.3000 with a modified version string to add in a "1" at the start), then you can install it with ZERO RISK. The 1.33.2xxx series of SPLs are HIGH-engineering SPLs offering you the ability to fastboot flash the radio image. The 0.95.3000 SPLs are MILD-engineering SPL -- they offer fastboot, but limit the partitions accessible in that manner... the ability to fastboot flash the radio can be useful later on when/if it comes time to update the radio image.

I'd like to use the 'Galaxy' Live Wallpaper with my 'Galaxy S' phone. Ironic, isn't it, that it is not included?

Is there any way to get this otherwise stock wallpaper?
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
Look in the market.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Precisely the first thing I did.

I searched for 'Galaxy Live Wallpaper' and 'Galaxy'. I couldn't find it searching for either.

Are you certain it is up there? If so, what is the exact name of the download?
[Vibrant General] borodin1:
Why don't you rip it out one of the N1 or G1 roms out there and try installing it like a regular app. Not sure if it will work but worth a try if you really want it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] deltagamer:
Hey guys!

I'm running the new froyo (rel:11 themed) and I am still having the same problem I have always had with android. On a real android phone one would go to settings> accounts and sync> add account> facebook. This would add my facebook contacts and should technically sync the profile pictures of my current contacts. The problem is when I click on "facebook", it just kicks me back to the main accounts and sync page. I really just want to update my current contacts with their current facebook pics. I know there are apps for it, but they are all pretty bad. Plus I should be able to just do it on my phone without any other apps. Let me know what the deal is and if you guys have have any suggestions.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] deltagamer:
no one knows why?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
people probably know why, they have probably answered it atleast a few times

the forum search is a beautiful thing.

if its anything like it was in eclair for some reason facebook only likes to sync with a certain phone (i think its the Dream). something needs to be changed for it to work K_K did this in his eclair build i dont think anybody has in Froyo yet
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gorm:
FYI

This may have already been posted but the new facebook app in the market will sync correctly with Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
Can't remember where, but I know I saw it in the XDA Developers forums.

Risk about sync with facebook is your contact database gets huge.

Some people have reported sizes of 50+MB for contacts, because of pictures, etc.

You might not want to do that... just stick with the google contacts.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] alexinc:
i notice that it runs without any problems in cyanogen, but fresh froyo is still missing this feature, even after installing latest facebook 1.3.2! you can select adding a facebook account, but nothing will happen. and the possibility to sync after installing facebook and setting it up, is missing too. any ideas anyone?

already checked the forum and searches... no solution helped (clearing app-cache,e.g.)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Get the Google apps zip in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=722801

Then try adding the GooglePartnerSetup.apk to the install archive (use 7-zip) and reinstall.

No idea if it works but Fresh Froyo doesn't have all the Google Apps apk's unlike the CyanogenMod port and that one sounds like it could have something to do with it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] alexinc:
...starting! ;) will post results...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] alexinc:
used the latest un-odexed fresh froyo and added googlepartnersetup.apk... didnt do the trick. next step: adding all the google apps 2 see, if there is anything working then.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] alexinc:
not working either... so its not depending on one of googles apks from that package. :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Skitzi:
Any luck with this? Having the same problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crackeyes:
have you got the latest Facebook app from the market. It was suppose to fix the issue
[Touch CDMA Android Development] alexinc:
yep, latest facebook doent do the trick either... no solution found yet! :(

It's also posted in apps/themes where it actually belongs.

It's very nice that he's coming out with it, the dev is amazing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Romparoo:
I remember trying this out when he first started it, or at least very early on. I liked it but missed the Sense apps, nice to see he is bringing those kind of apps to the Plus version.

Thanks for the heads up, but after reading the thread I think I'll wait till it's been tweak a bit more.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gravis86:
That's a good idea, but if it's going to flash using the screen, why no take advantage of the fact that it's a SCREEN and flash an icon instead of just a little red dot?

For example, use the same system icons that appear in the notification bar when messages are received / calls missed, etc. And if you're worried about burning out pixels you could make it change location every minute or so.

Just my $.02
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
that was mentioned in the original thread... I think it is a good idea... I cant wait to see how this grows...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] papawu:
Does this require your GS to be rooted?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsfaze:
the idea of a full icon was mentioned, but just like a blinking led, the idea here is to keep the notification using as little power as possible. Not sure if the power usage would be more or less showing one pixel or a whole icon.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gravis86:
Obviously 100+ pixels would use more power than just one but the screen is very power conservative. I think it's at least worth a try to see if it really impacts the battery that much.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tairen:
I have it on my phone atm, it's not rooted. Seems to be working fine.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] duce95:
doesnt work if you have No Lock installed too
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tairen:
Umm..i have nolock and it works fine. Try turning it off, then lock and unlock your phone, and turn it on again. Should work.

It was hurting battery leaving the screen on even though it was just red. I uninstalled it from manage applications and now my screen won't turn on once it is off, I have to pull the battery. Anyone know if doing a clear storage wipes the internal SD card?

+1 for icon notifications

If we can't have a real led, lets look cooler than all the other phones and have little icons of e-mail, sms, and missed calls. It would be nice.

and make them loook purrrrdyyyyyyy iphone-esque
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] crawldit:
Installed this today and so far so good. Sure it would look better with actual icons but if it saves me from having to unlock my phone all the time to look for new messages then I'm happy.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tairen:
Not sure why this thread is not getting enough attention when there were so many people begging for a notification app to come out?

Maybe it could be made a lock screen program. Then when you receive a notification, you can have the screen turn on and display the leds.

I can't download it. Link above doesn't work and the apk download on the original thread keeps saying"this application is not supported on this phone" when I try to download it.

Great idea though. Is there a risk for burn in though, or killing pixels?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Phromik:
Download it on a cmoputer and transfer it to the SDcard if it's not working via phone. And the LEDs move around to try and avoid damage to the pixels.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Beast84:
So this will work if I have the /media/audio/* folder on /sd or /sdcard?

Or is it just one location?

is anyone else getting the same issue as me? I downloaded a new home app but haven't set it as a default. every time i hit home, i'll get a prompt to select a home app. then i get a missed notification and i get the jumping red pixel. when i press home, my phone is stuck an i am unable to select any of the homescreen options. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Phromik:
Easy fix for that: Either set one home launcher as default, or delete one. Many programs can have buggy effects when you don't have a default home launcher.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Vegastouch:
How do you uninstall this app?

It severely slows down opening up the lockscreen to open the phone when the app is working. Sometimes it even reboots cause it is so slow.

Appreciate the input.

I still think it would be a better idea to get the buttons on the bottom of the phone to blink. That way we're not keeping the display on.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Disconn3ct:
The display only takes power for the pixels that are on. This isn't an lcd, where you backlight the whole mess and then mask it off - the black pixels actually do take zero power. (And a few pixel dot takes way less than the very bright white leds behind the buttons.)

The heavy power use is because of how android is set up - the only way a normal app can keep the screen from being completely black is to keep the cpu running. (hold a wake lock - as in, keep the system from going into powersave..)

That is enforced all the way up to the kernel, so changing it basically requires starting with the samsung source code and modifying it in the kernel ("don't always disable the screen when going to sleep") and framework (replace the missing led notification support with something like this app, tied into the kernel support above..)

That will help immensely - at that point, the only time you use power is when you move the dot. (a couple of ms every 5 seconds instead of constantly..)

Missed Reminders on the Market

I use Missed Reminders, it wakes the screen in time intervals. SMS, MMS, Calls & GMail

I have set to wake the screen every 15 seconds for 1 second when I have a unread SMS & a missed Call, works for me.

The wake settings can be set from seconds to minutes

I have not seen much of a battery drain, if any at all
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] floepie:
I don't doubt this on paper, however, whenever a notification dot is present, the rest of the screen lights up ever so slightly. You can only see this in the dark. And, it doesn't seem that the surrounding pixels are simply illuminated by the "dot", as the pixels surrounding the dot would be brighter than the ones further away, and that is not the case.

[General Topics] Mr Davo:
Hi Everyone,

I have been using a program called My Mobiler 123 with my Windows Phone. My Mobiler 123 allows for complete control of a Windows Mobile phone from a Windows Computer (Desktop).

Using My Mobiler 123 allowed me to use the phone from the desktop, which made entering new text messages a breeze.

I am now using a Nokia (Symbian) phone and I am wondering if there is a similar application available.

Shortly I will be moving to an Android based phone so I am also wondering if there is an equivalent program for Android phones as well.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :roll:

Kind Regards,

Davo

In addition to another thread that says you can announce a track name while playing it by holding the UP VOLUME button, you can also do this for individual texts.

Example,

Go to a text msg thread, click on the msg, push hold UP VOLUME and it reads it.

Does anyone know a way to do this for e-mail?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Does it work if you get a text in another language then English? Do you need a local version of the rom/csc for it to work?

You bring me up to let me down. I tried this, it adjusts the font size of my text message.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] stickfinger:
It works on mine :) and yes its just the stock sms app, you click on the speech bubble then hold the volume up key. It should also work with the media player as well, it reads the name out of the currently playing track when you hold the up volume key (you only need to hold it until it starts speaking).

Is there an app or widget with which you can manually sync all widgets requiring data connection and email accounts and all other accounts if you have mobile data turned off or not always on data.

1. I have mobile data turned off to save power with the mobile data that came with sense on my HTC Eris.

2. I want to hit this widget, and what it should do is turn on the mobile data long enough to refresh the HTC weather widget, twitter, facebook and other widgets that depend on internet. After that it should turn the mobile data back off.
